...right down to the outfit and colours.
Is this the fifth element and a play on the "born sexy yesterday" trope which got mentioned first because of the original movie?
*Not that I mind tho ...:thinking:
Yes it is. You can find the comic on tapas (first few chapters are free) and the writer and artist basically say this.
Ahh, okay. That's kinda cool. Generally speaking the movie is quite good, so it should prove as good source material.
Thanks for the answer o/
It's not bad but why is every fantasy manga/manhwa/manhua basically a power fantasy. At least the MC in this story has some kind of background, making him less of the projectable "I'm a NEET that got transported into another world" stereotype but dear god, does this genre need a revamp.
All the interactions so far also felt very transparent, with the goal in mind to make the MC seem more amazing, strong, cool, righteous, whatever positve attributes are likable. That doesn't make for interesting characters but other than that its still pretty good, especially considering the genre.
Also, why is everyone shipping an old grandpa in a childs body with an actual child? (But it does feel like a set up that'll bear fruit after some progression or another time skip lol)
I totally agree with the overpredictablity of this genre nowadays.. I still find myself reading them anyway, because sometimes predictability can be refreshing after reading a super fucked manga/manhwa/manhua. I almost always forget whatever I was reading once I'm done, as they are all pretty forgettable. But they usually have hella nice art, so it's a give and take lol.
Well tbh this is my favorite type of characer so they're probably still making them for people like me
How about Adonis or Doctor Elise or Raeliana?
First 10 chapters felt like your typical school shounen power fantasy. Personally, I'd rather see something else than the innocent girl who gets taught stuff about the world thanks to the male projectable protagonist.
However if you like that kind of story, it presents itself quite well. The art and design is clean and cute.
Development wise the swimming pool episode was in chapter 6, so I don't think this is going to go to amazing new places.
The MC is just a delusional sociopath, even in his flashbacks - not that anyone else in this story is any better.
At least the great art and dynamic storytelling makes these one note characters look somewhat better.
However as a whole, it takes what feels like your typical revenge porn isekai/power fantasy and combines it with a light hearted Konosuba-esque approach and presentation, which makes it feel somewhat disjointed to me.
What I surprisingly do find refreshing is that the MC is a somewhat toned down Mary Sue. He's not surrounded by your standard harem tropes, instead he is honest in his laziness and capitalist hunger for money and power. And killing.
Even though I don't get it, it's a not a bad and somewhat messed up read.
Sorry but I can't agree with you.
It's good, you don't have to. Thanks for being civil bout it tho (⌒▽⌒)
