Holy shit Elijah finally now u have a face in my imagination omg he look so good hate to say this but damn lucas is looking good too but i hope u die asap
Spoilers ahead.....
Im reading the novel now, i think im around ch80 or so but cries... tess is rly getting on my nerves as the ch goes by tbh i didnt mind them ending up together or how shes crushing on art, i actually like her at first but art always saving her like some damsel in distress makes me disappointed, and she doesnt deserve the powers she obtained??? Art just literally gave all of that to her while art had to work hard years for it. Also not to mention that shes like forcing art to like her?? I mean dude cant it wait? Theyre only 12 and 13 yrs old jesus. Tess is being so immature abt it. Now im havng a hard time to continue cause its ruining the mood for me ;^;
I kinda agree with you. Their attraction felt forced. I think i stopped reading around that chapter too. Is there any chance, arthur can ended up with jasmine at the end? I love the poised character and she is one hell of a woman.
Yea, and im getting a bit frustrated with art too. I applaud him at first for rejecting her cause hes hesitating cause of the mental gap. But the past few ch ive read, its always him getting worried abt her and its rly ruining the excitement for me.
Yess jasmine is so coool! But guess not possible anymore... Or he can just end up with no one insead lol. I kinda like princess kathlyn too. Tbh tess being so assuming and selfish made me dislike her bit by bit. She only cares abt her feelings =_=
dude same, I dont like how she forced art to get in a relationship with her either, She didn't even respect that he said no and proceed to have a melt down that he rejected her when he clearly wasn't comfortable with dating anybody. I would prefer art to go at his own pace and date when he felt comfortable enough. Doesn't help that everyone else kinda pushed him into dating her too. I liked her at the beginning but now that she grew up to be a spoiled brat that throws a tantrum when ever she doesn't get what she wants.
(╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Yeah at first, it was like a cute little crush. I didn't think they would get together and I still hope they won't. I see love hitting Art like a dump truck. Hangs out with people regardless of gender or race, day in and day out. But then one day, he looks at that special someone and goes, "Oh...f**k." And since that wasn't a part of his previous life, he won't know what to do with it. It's also a part of the reason why he rejects and ultimately can't be in love with Tess.
Tess is becoming a brat. But she's young and doesn't know any better because she's always on a pedestal. Kathryn had a brother to bring her further down to earth. It is wrong for the parents to keep pushing the two when they are young and haven't asked Art what he wants. He's not "shy." Ask for his opinion.
I wish they would let us like replies in comments (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Exactly!! Tbh i feel like everyone is taking art for granted =__= like tess' family. Like do they actually always expect art to save her. Whats the point of her getting stronger. Totally useless. Are u ahead in the novel? I stopped around 107 cause not only the romance is bothering me but the plot as well :(
Why theres no thumbs up in replies????? Lol but yes exactly what u said!!!!! Everyone, even his parents!! Then the talk of marriage too. Im disappointed art admitted he likes her too. That suddenly felt so forced. Why cant they wait till hes actually older. It felt like hes contradicting what he just said when he rejected tess. Ugh is the author rushing this or what（￣へ￣）
I just checked. Chapter 113. At least he's in a training montage and not in a romantic part. I read on here somewhere it gets really bad. Like, he gets worried and it results in one life over another. We'll see what the epic tale has for me when I feel like I can read it again.
So far im only at ch5 but im not hooked yet. Maybe bec i just read solo leveling (plus the novel) so im expecting something but the first chapters are a bit boring orz should i continue
IKR SOLO LEVELING IS SOOO GOOD SJXJNSNEV
Solo leveling is really great i know, and u should continue it, alot of stuff will happen trust me ;)
Solo Leveling is on another dimensional plane, this story is pretty good in earthly standards though
Ikkk after reading solo leveling I can’t get into anything cuz solo leveling Is on a whole different level! But this manga gets better when u read more ig
Omg!!! I feel the same too!!! I thought in the only one! After reading Solo leveling, I kind of have a higher expectation of other op similar story with Solo leveling heck the first one I read is begging after tomorrow but that also couldn't compare to Solo leveling after I read it.. oof!! I'm not satisfieed, yet. Alhou the story is ok, I still want to keep reading to see him get revenge for his brother
Kinda glad that I read this first and than solo leveling since I don't feel like nothing missing I like both
Spoilers ahead.....
Without a doubt this webtoon/novel was really great. I just wanna comment cause it was a wild ride of emotions
Tbh idk what to feel... am i happy or sad i feel so sad by jinwoo's decision at the end but im happy at least woo jincheol remembered him. I actually cried when he called out to him. Omg what an emotional scene
Im sad cause no one will rmb jinwoo's sacrifices but then again i guess the result is good but still... so sad!!
And then the late president... damn it i cried twice! Oh yea, im a bit sad I didn't see adam white anymore in the side stories. I was rly sad by his death and i thought he and jinwoo were pretty close too so i thought id get to see his life in the new timeline.
The ch where antares became jinwoo was so funny tho lol
Regrettably, i still dun like the romance :^) (this is my own preference so no offense)
So i haven't read the novel cause i read the webtoon first and i can say its rly good (so im sure the novel even better) but pls warn me.... is there any romance ahead????????
Cause i was reading solo leveling novel and i love it so much but after past ch200, they suddenly threw romance and i literally lost the will to continue i rly felt so betrayed. I dun hv against romance (heck i love reading shoujo and bl) but a FORCED and OOC romance in the middle of an exciting plot literally ruined the mood for me. I hope thats not the case with BATE
So like kinda spoiler ahead**

Not like a 100% romance tho but there Is romance, like it builds but it's not completely the center of the story. It kinda helps him be centered on what he's doing and who are the important people in his life. There's some family related stuff kinda rushed but overall it's good af. It's not forced at all tho, in my opinion it's kinda smooth and it develops through the story.
Also, it doesn't ruin the plot.
Ooohhhh wow okay that's a relief to know!! Thank you!! Ill read it after
Spoilers ahead since im reading the novel
Okay im at ch212 in the novel but fck after that chapter, all my excitement went down. Don't get me wrong, the story is still awesome and super exciting but i just really dont get why the author had to include romance in this??? It was alrdy perfect the way it is. Idk i love shoujo and bl okay but there are times when i read shounen, it stays as shounen and no romance (my preference)
I dun hv anything against Cha Hae In. I actually dun mind her crushing on jinwoo but seriously i prefer if jinwoo didnt show any interest. Idk man but suddenly him liking her felt so FORCED!!! AND OUT OF CHARACTER!!! Hes a guy thats so addicted in leveling up and killing monsters so suddenly him having interest is so??? CH212 was so fcking cheesy and cringy i had to skim fast....
Also i got mad when jinwoo said to her "youre the only friend i have" like wtf jinwoo?? So what is jinho then?? Your slave??? And after that awesome scene where u fought thomas and whole scavenger guild for his sake.... u even cured jinho's dad (no im not saying this in a BL way nor am i shipping them) but literally for the past 200 chapters, the focus was on the action side. I mean yea, there were some scenes with jinwoo and cha hae in but tolerable and it didnt feel ooc (that time) and after that, cha hae in barely appear in the story and then suddenly around ch211 to 212?? Idk i just cant accept it. It totally ruined the flow
I dun hate cha hae in tho but i just hate the forced relationship in the story. Ughhhhhh i wanted her to stay as a friend instead but sigh...
I really lost the will to continue....
I don't read the novel, but I read some comments a while back saying that even though this follows the novel plot perfectly, the way they present it slightly differs from the novel as well. I'm not saying it won't follow that but maybe there'll be slight differences that will make it less forced and make more sense? I don't think they'll take out the whole romance part since it would be too much but let's hope they make an effort to at least present it better here in the comic... sad they didn't know how to manage that when everything else is beyond amazing.
Like you said, I don't hate her character in fact I'm happy that there's a female character as strong as her (since most are only male) but if there hadn't been any romance at all it would have been fine too. They could have hinted it and just left it at that too but well.
This is just a suggestion but, you should try reading all the way to the end. Sure, the romance may feel out of place but the author is truly trying to show that even though he is a hardcore leveling kind of guy, he still has his human emotions attached to him and wishes to grow up with the regular human interactions, love. BIG SPOILER WARNING AHEADSo at the end, jin woo had the option of living in a different dimension to live with beings more like him or stay on earth. He chooses to stay on earth despite not having the chance to battle/level up any longer because he wants to cultivate the potential human relationships he missed out on because of his powers. With Cha Hae In, the author shows that Jin Woo is realllly interested in her at the end of the story where there’s no drama by having him make cute random encounters himself so they can spend time together. The fact that he likes her during all the drama and tries to convey that really shows the humanity still left in him and his desire to lead a somewhat normal life. But, what stops him from truly pursuing her during the drama is his sense of justice to help others and the fact he’s too busy trying to fight the war himself. All in all, if there were no monsters going around, Jin Woo wouldn’t have an internal conflict of choosing between the girl he likes and saving the world. (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Oh yeah i got that feeling too. I read the webtoon first then went for the novel cause i couldn't wait anymore (i read from the start). Idk but for me jinwoo in webtoon is more kind than the novel? Not saying hes bad in novel but since its in his pov, i get to see more his true chara and it grew on me and now i totally love it. So i rly felt betrayed after ch212
I guess need to wait years before they reach ch200 in novel. Rly hope dun include that cringy scene but i wanna cry, im trying to read ch213 now but i rly cant get past it. I literally wanna cry cause i was at peak of excitement before that ch ╥﹏╥
I stopped reading when u said spoiler lol guess even if i feel so betrayed and frustrated, i do still wanna see the outcome without getting spoiled. But what to do, i rly cant get past ch213 lmao guess i should skip and went straight for action lol (ill come back reading ur comment all way when im done) (=・ω・=)
I READ THIS IN ONE SITTING LIKE CH1 TO 101 TODAY, WHY DID I READ TOO FAST THAT WAS AMAZING OMG
A shame that Asami didn't eat the pudding!! Lol I wanted to see him eat it that aside, Finder has been one of my favs (been prolly reading it for like more than 10 years), I'm not saying the art style now is bad, but I really miss the old style especially around Hongkong arc. Man that's really nostalgic. I really love the excitement I felt that time the first time I read. I guess I can say the art style now is more on the "cute" side? While before it's "manly" or maybe it's just me
Agreed. She never used to draw Asami in chibi fashion, and rarely drew Akihito in it, but now it is common. I still love the it, but the art used to be better, I agree.
Still reading the novel, im at chapter 107 and im honestly on the verge of dropping it. I cant see myself readig another 100 chapters. Might say some spoilers....
Wtf happened to the story writing?? Its all over the place. Never mind the romance, but the plot itself feels like its jumping all over.
Im at the part where art told his parents abt his reincarnation and the way they rejected him feels.... idk. Unnecessary and useless, im mad. How could th4y reject him? Why would they think art replaced their supposedly baby?? Idk where the story is going anymore. It was rly awesome at first but along the way, it gets stupid and confusing, rly sorry for saying this. I just feel betrayed cause it was rly good.
Actually why did art even tell them that. Its very wrong timing??!?!? So does that mean he will tell tess too???? Isnt that cringy and wrong??? Gonna tell a 14 yr old that he has an adult mind of someone almost 50 lol.
And then i feel like.... im sensing elijah will be his final enemy oh god. How cliche
Anyway, i rly dun hv the will to continue reading it anymore... too bad but i would still like to know what will happen ahead since i alrdy invested love and time for this series
i've kinda stopped too... got to chapter 380 and eh, i dunno, maybe i'll get around to reading more eventually, but i don't actually feel the pressing need to keep going.
I'm at the part where hes starting to train but honestly i dun feel the thrilling factor anymore. I was turned off by the flow of the story. Like they introduced the director as someone powerful but ended up being imprisoned so pitifully. They introduced xyrus academy as the most prestigious and powerful but one attack from someone and so many died. The professors sre like so weak too wtf. The idea of the story is so great. Where did it go wrong :")
What part did u stop? Is there really a connection between his past life? Im still curious abt that but i rly hv no motivation to continue lol
He's returned after training (it was underwhelming) and is sort of getting a feel for how the war is going. Nothing huge has happened yet. His dad has come to terms with his past life and is treating him as usual his mom is still on the fence but less horrified.
Wow how disappointing. Im now mad at his parents. Especially his mom, how fake!! Ugh, why they to hv to ruin the perfect family. And here i was expecting they will accept art no matter what. Man what a let down. Dun tell me his training covers like 50 chapters lmao
Not sure how many chapters cover his training. They gloss over a lot of it. To be honest the training is a bit underwhelming as well. Though that may just be because we don't have a reference of how a normal human would handle it so you can't really tell how incredible he is in comparison. No explanation as of yet as to how this life is connected to his previous life.
