Disciple's Persuasion Plot
I Gave Birth to the Tyrant's Child
dude, i’m really loving this!!! i’m excited for future updates. it’ll be interesting to see how kyle and elan’s relationship might change in the future. i expect they’ll become an actual ‘family’ at some point in time… and i’m even more exited about the character development!!! naturally, i’m mostly intrigued about kyle’s. he’s so damn oblivious about everything, lol. including himself! edit: we’ll, it’s finished… and things went as predicted. it was sweet and cliché and wholesome, absolutely, but i do wish we’d gotten to see a more elaborate ending. something a little more emotionally intricate, at the very least! but hey, who knows? we might just get a couple of epilogue chapters as a bonus at some point—whether it be of their domestic family life or more of the ‘royal’ aspects of their imperial life; anything set after their wedding day would do, really. the ending just felt needlessly rushed… for no particular reason, too, sheesh. still, once again, the story’s been overall sweet, pretty, wholesome… with nice character development, beautiful art and all that… but where’s the actual intrigue? where’s the emotion?? where’s the buildup towards the final conclusion??? ugh, i don’t know. i guess i feel a little let down by that. they could’ve prepared the ending better. :( meh, anyway. would’ve liked to give the manhwa a 5 star rating, but i can’t for this one. the writing’s to inexpressive and flat for that. it’s a shame, but oh well! it’s been an enjoyable journey either way—otherwise i wouldn’t have stuck around. ;P
Beast Burn
Chronicles of the Demon Faction
as usual, i’m already clinically OBSESSED. i’ve been holding off on reading this one for quite some time now; ever since its release a couple of months back. i wanted to wait for a while so that i could binge-read… couldn’t contain myself anymore, lol. and, as expected, it certainly didn’t disappoint!!! oh, how badly i wish there were more available chapters published. it’s freakin’ AMAZING, ughhh.
Poison-Eating Healer
man, this is good… things keep getting more and more interesting the further in i get.
Eleceed
bro. i seriously fucking LOVE eleceed. 100% adore it. reading this is an absolute joy! i feel like i couldn’t even properly express just how sincere i am in that statement. ever since i started on this journey yesterday afternoon, i’ve been struggling with just the mere notion of taking small breaks to catch my breath—let alone spare a moment to update y’all on where my thoughts are at. now, i’m wholly up-to-date with its latest release, and i figured it’s time i gave it a proper mid-review! i mean… simply put, i’m mind-blown. definitely one of the best stories i’ve ever read. and i do mean EVER. (note that i’ve read a lot of them at this point in time, too.) i know i’ve said this before, but my standards are relatively high. knowing that, i’d still consider this story a top-tier, prime example of creativity, emotional engagement and commitment. 200+ chapters, and thus far, i’ve NEVER gotten bored. this is near-unheard of in my case—at least in recent times. it’s been a long time since i felt this… ‘captivated’ by a story. it’s compelling enough to make me want to binge hundreds of chapters in one go… truly, i never imagined i’d get so emotionally invested as i’ve become. although i probably should’ve realized, knowing it’s by the same creator as the one who brought the legendary ‘noblesse’ to life—which is STILL my favorite comic, of all time, to this very day. nor did i expect to grow so attached to these characters!!! it’s borderline unhealthy at this point, lololol. either way, the comedic aspects of this story are literally fucking genius. i’m not even kidding; i’m WHEEZING my way through this masterpiece at a quick pace. the dialogue’s fucking hysterical, and the outstanding art complements the overall reading experience so, so well—just like lyrics complements a song. can’t believe how fast i binged this thing... well, all the published chapters, at least. i’m still reeling from the aftershocks as i’m writing this, too, lololol. it’s most def quality content, no qualms about that. i literally CANNOT with these people. they’re so goddamn entertaining it hurts. it’s so funny i have to physically RETRAIN myself… from doing all sorts of weird things. (i won’t go into more detail than that.) in any case, i get chills all over my body and my heart just starts to THUMP THUMP THUMP every single time the action starts to get real, and that’s noooo exaggeration. (which happens a lot with this particular manhwa. this is a comedic fantasy action story, after all…. so yeaaaah.) SO. MUCH. DOPAMINE. like, dude!!! these people are SO. FUCKING. COOL. every single one of them, i kid you the fuck not. kayden (including casein nitrate, LMFAO) and jiwoo and kartein and wooin and jiyoung and jisuk and subin and seongha and inhyuk and arthur and freakin’ EVERYBODY!!! these characters are seriously among the most admirable and lovable and outstanding ones i’ve seen in a long time. they all deserve the world, babies. we must unite and protect them AT. ALL. COSTS. the unbiased, untainted, pure loyalty these guys have for each other… it jabs at my heart for all the right reasons. my god, my heart literally ACHES. i love them all, they’re the best. and i ADORE these friendship bonds!!! it’s wonderful to see them have such strong faith, respect and trust in each other. strength in numbers, indeed… but they’re equally as strong as individuals, too. they’ve just been constantly growing on me, ever since the very beginning—more snd more so by the chapter. it’s been such a blessing being able to see each and every one of these characters’ journeys and emotional growth. really can’t wait to continue in doing so, either! and if that’s not enough, us readers keeps being introduced to new, enthralling side characters all the time; all of whom have unique personalities and interesting traits. but, ehm, uhh… still. kayden’s just… next level enticing, man. it ain’t fair to the rest of ‘em. gotta keep it real with you guys, i’m sorryyyy. ;_; oh, and before i forget: the art is EXQUISITE. it’s literally a masterpiece. i need to buy the graphic novels or something, if there are any… i might even be inclined to learn korean one day if there aren’t any english translations available for purchase... that’d the extent of my obsession. i don’t even care anymore, i just know it’d be worth it. EVERYONE should be reading this. 10/10, would ABSOLUTELY recommend. such an emotional—yet wonderfully endearing—power trip that i fell in love with instantly. it’s just so unique, intriguing and refreshing! anyway. you know what else i love? the epic fighting scenes. they only grow more exciting and grand with time. and the buildups are NEVER letdowns, man... definitely should’ve taken screenshots, though. ughhh, i have no idea why i didn’t, honestly. it makes no sense to me, either. i haven’t seen such screenshot-potential since, like, noblesse or something. (heeheeheeee, i crack myself up.) there’ll always be pinterest, i guess… but, nevertheless, i thank you for coming to my TED-talk!!! this is, as i’ve already said, a clear new favorite of mine—for lots of different reasons. it’s rare coming across a story that continually pulls you in the more the deeper in you get. usually i’d experience a decline in either quality or plot at some point down the line, but this one hasn’t disappointed me at all this far. i might be biased (‘cause of noblesse) for all i know, but it was crazy good still! i’m completely in love. anyway!!! appreciate you for sticking around ‘til the very end of this review. i hope i managed to properly (or at least somewhat) express just how big of a mark this story has left on me in the name of manhwa and all that is holy. <3 P.S. can you tell how excited i am just by reading this??? this has pretty much been my ‘natural state’ ever since chapter 1, heh. no time to rest when the story’s so freakin’ good! seriously, though: a day will 100% come when i’ll choose to reread this perfectly executed manhwa. but, for now… i can die happy. ‘til my resurrection! side note: KARTEIN EXUDES SO MUCH FRANKENSTEIN ENERGY, I CAN’T COPE!!! even kayden has some of those vibes to him… ugh, it’s low-key making me emotional. i seriously need to go and reread noblesse ASAP, i can’t take it no more. P.S. would’ve added the ‘awkwardness overload’ tag if i had enough room for it, lmfao. it definitely belongs there!
The Bully In-Charge
holy FUCK, this dude’s next level ATTRACTIVEEEE, man. seriously, who created him?? goddammit, the fighting scenes are actual fucking fire, too. who doesn’t love an overpowered vigilante-type bully who’s out for blood? i know i sure do. <33 i even went as far as to purchase the chapters on webtoon instead of waiting for the blessed daily passes ‘cause it was that addictive. so worth the dopamine rush! that was 129 sek well spent. ;)
I Took Over The Demonic Ancestor
The World’S Best Engineer
this ought to be one of the most unique and original stories i’ve ever read. and it’s hysterically funny, at that! i’m cackling like a fool constantly, haha. goddammit, this MC… lloyd’s such a greedy little weirdo, i love him. he’s just the beeeeest!!! he’s probably one of the most likable ‘dislikable’ characters i’ve ever seen in my life, i think… thus far, at least. seriously. like an antihero who isn’t actually an antihero, lol. it’s so thrilling to watch! and javier’s always such a fucking mood, too, LMFAO. so, so funny. whoever created this masterpiece must be a genius. i see a lot of people say the exact same thing in the comment sections on webtoon. they all admire the ingenuity of the plot, the expressive art, the uncharacteristic personality traits of our main man and the overall enticing world-building. no wonder this has a 9.9 rating on webtoon; it’s freakin’ INCREDIBLE!!! outstanding writing, gorgeous art and easily memorable characters. P.S. i realize i’m getting repetitive, but i really don’t care. i’m in loooove. #obsessed
