I dunno what i was thinking was going to happen when this manwha has such a simple boring title. Like... I was thinking there'd be succession issues or some kinda royal drama.... nope, shoujo dad king and everyone is gonna treat her like a cinnamon roll ..bleh... I've seen it, done it... over it. lol
to be clear, the story isnt bad... just over done; you can probably find plenty of other stories with this similar premise... motherless daughter melts cruel king's heart with cinnamon roll powers... done.
I don't think he was cruel as he was described as kind, I don't think there's anything showing he is anything negative. Its more of a mystery story tho, like why did he forget them when it was so obvious he tried to take good care of them before she was born, and also the mystery behind the aehri clan and her strange powers.
She's also clearly not trying to melt anyones heart, as she has scratched and has tried to escape from them many a times, its more like they're trying to appease a stray cat
psssh he forgot his cinnamon roll.... jk
I was exaggerating because thats just the trope, stern unapproachable father/king figures... and honestly we all know REAL royals are WAY too busy ruling to bother with their children
also... cinnamon rolls dont need to do ANYTHING to melt hearts... they just... exist. (she could literally claw their heart out and they'd still go "aww"... hence the cinnamon roll power)
So true and she got em pretty eyes I would die
I was reading it but I was getting bored of the cliches and got even more annoyed when EVERYONE AND THEIR MOM starts to interere with the lost boy. who tf interferes with security when they're doing their job to reunite a child with their parents...
that side story just makes me think of all the stories with happy endings that were the result of tragedies. I feel like reading or watching some epic trilogy that has nothing but tragedy and ends with a happy ending.
ofc they'd remove "that" character... I feel like the pairings are pretty obvious... almost like blending the families together into one big sesspool of gay ships. lol
honestly I think this story is better than Solo Leveling in the long run. The main character is powerful but limited in his power and even receives a setback with him losing his eye. (i dunno if he will get powercreeped later but its fine for now). His allies are also suitably powerful and the main character while unique doesn't outright overpower the other characters in his team.
It's pretty lame how often i see a solo character that just gets stronger n stronger that i kinda lose faith in other character to do anything meaningful. and it becomes obvious that all meaningful items will just go to the main character like the hog they are... and if there's a good item but someone else gets it... nvmd there's something IMMENSLY BETTER AROUND THE CORNER!!... >.> .. oh and im strong enough lets finally start to give something to my love interest and allies... not that it'll matter cus you're still pitifully weak. lets not forget all those cannon fodder characters that we'll see for like 10 chapters only to die off and we'll NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN... *rinse repeat*
I think your opinion is quite true but there is a reason why the MC in solo leveling is so powerful, you will know later and he will also make some sacrifices and allies in the coming events. As the title indicates “solo” leveling is mainly about the MC because that is how is suppose to be. In my opinion both of them are amazing and different.
I'm not saying this about only Solo Leveling. In fairness, I think it's pretty good even with it's fair shair of flaws. I've seen way more blatant instances of terribly over powered character progression... but it's usually from chinese manwhas. Mostly cultivation stories with lots of random pill boosts and random explanations that mean nothing to a westerner.
I haven't finish solo leveling novel but it turns funny if he's not an op character.
I agree. For Solo Leveling, everything would only make sense in the very last arc, so the chances for people to misunderstand the story is high, but there is indeed a reason why he and the story is like that.
Disagree. This story and Solo Leveling are very different and shouldn’t even be compared.
(Warning!! spoiler)
I just read this sentence and turn out laughing
"lets not forget all those cannon fodder characters that we'll see for like 10 chapters only to die off and we'll NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN"
You should start to read the novel, why they're dead? Cuz 'someone' search on something. I really don't wanna spoiler but at the end of season 1 in manhwa, you should "think" the unknown person. Who they are? What are they doing in jeju island?
Like i said, its funny if jinwoo isn't an op character. Well this story and SL have same problem, the end of the world.
They're both mmo stories essentially... it's like comparing batman to the fantastic 4... they're handled differently but they're both in similar settings.
if anything, as a solo character, he should've experienced way more hardships. But he's just given immense power and very little struggles.
I don’t think we read the same solo leveling
im not saying Solo leveling is the worst offender. I've just read alot of cultivation/leveling etc stories and the progression can be steep or have little... um... balance. Alot of them tend to just make the character be an all over the place unit with no balance. we all know mmos have different characteristics to balance... tank dps support healer mage etc and im sure there's correlating terms for chinese cultivation but most stories just forego the balance, ignore support abilities and make then physically strong, strong magic and almost close to perfect defensive capabilites.
Like... he LITERALLY almost had a healer/way to heal himself and his army... but the author probably realized he was getting too op... so he wrote in that "oh please dont take his soul" scene. (and honestly i was confused cus earlier his power mentioned that souls would lose the ability to go reincarnate or whatever after the soul is transformed)
nuuuuu his HAAAAAAIRRRR... theygavehimatopknot...................wahhhhh~~~ (it's like if Inuyasha or Sesshomaru became bald.)
