Ongoing | YC,Rakhyun | 2000 released

four panels in and i’m already hyped. LET’S GOOOO!!! edit: i’m legit shaking from all this excitement and i’m barely seven chapters in. this is INSANE. edit #2: legit sobbing from sheer admiration at this point. i’m on chapter 8. EIGHT!!! what the hell even is this?! seriously, what. wait. who am i. why am i. how am i. (and yes, i purposely didn't use question marks in order to demonstrate just how much this is fucking with my head.) NEW FAVORITE, NEW FAVORITE, NEW FAVORITE. this is, like, solo leveling slash nano machine slash omniscient reader slash white blood level type stuff, bro. i am in complete awe. edit #3: i love how i keep whispering “he’s so cool” quietly to myself at the end of each chapter, then snort afterwards every single time ‘cause what the fuck am i even doing, lol. he’s. so. fucking. COOL. how am i supposed to wait a whole ass week in between updates??? #simp #FML #noregrets

I Am The Sorcerer King Webtoon

Ongoing | Decaspell,Miro | 2000 released

this looks epiiiic. consider me excited! edit: wowza, this dude really is a powerhouse. my only complaints at his point in time are the following: why the hell does he keep talking to himself as much as he does? i don’t mind it at all as long as it’s either required or generally realistic, but he’s literally explaining things to himself that don’t need explanation. the other thing which kinda bothers me is just how effortlessly he’s creating skills. he’s not even trying… which means there’s little-to-no room for character growth at this point in time. he’s just doing everything perfectly. i find that a bit bothersome and tedious. don’t get me wrong, i looove overpowered MCs, but this just feels… out of place. it’s like he knows things he shouldn’t be able to know. usually, if an MC’s this powerful, said MC would’ve usually worked their way up to the top—whether it was in a past life or a current one. i know this MC did reincarnate, but i don’t know… it just doesn’t feel all that fitting. but who knows? perhaps i’m missing something here. anyway!!! i’m loving the story regardless. i’ve stumbled across quite a few stories with similar plot lines in the past, and i’ve always ended up being ‘converted’ later on either way. i don’t expect things’ll be much different this time around! especially since i’m already enjoying myself. i’m excited to continue reading!

Return to Player

Ongoing | 인덱스 / 세혼 | 2019 released

i’m not even through with chapter one yet and i’m already completely IMMERSED. definitely tagging this as a 10/10, lol. edit: i’m genuinely surprised by how creative, dark and fucking EPIC this manhwa turned out to be. truly. i’m in awe. after season 1 ended, i low-key expected a steady decline in quality, anticipation and ingenuity... but i’ll be damned. it’s just the opposite! i’m literally STILL reeling from the aftershocks and all this excitement… and my heart’s still racing 15 minutes later. i never would’ve ‘paused’ this binging-sesh if i hadn't run out of chapters to obsess over. this is simply amazing. exhilarating, high-quality content! ughhh, for real. it’s been a good while since i experienced something like this. it reminds me of the reasons why i immersed myself in this genre in the first place. so, with that being said… i wish to thank you, dear author, for creating this MASSIVELY underrated masterpiece. <33 so pleased with myself for ultimately deciding to pick it up again. (or, more accurately, reread it from scratch.) i’m genuinely astonished! you never know what to expect, that’s for sure. i’m so, soooo fucking excited for the future of this comic—y’all have no idea.

Weak Hero

Complete | razen,seopass | 2019 released

…the fact that some dumbasses choose to behave this way, abusing and looking down on others for no other reason than physical and mental domination, thinking they’re all cool and ‘badass’ for doing so… is legit so fucking infantile i could barf, ew. i can’t take any of them seriously. don’t know whether to laugh, snort or cry at this point. perhaps i’ll just do all three. it fits!!! “lOoK aT mEeEeEe, i bEaT uP a tEaCheR aNd rOdE oN a mOpEd ‘cAuSe i’M sO gAnGsTeR!!! i’M sUpEr cOoL!!!!!” *cries in lmfao* (this wasn’t even an important part of the story, either. i simply used it as reference since it was a good example of just how silly some of these adolescent ‘men’ are behaving.) this manhwa’s so much fun to read, though! i’m getting a whole lot of nice, explosive dopamine boosts as i’m reading this. and i get them damn often, too!!! really, i didn’t even know one could read such violently graphic comics on webtoon! i’m pleasantly surprised, i’ll admit... not at all disappointed. go get ‘em, gray & company!!! edit: i’ve now reread the whole thing (i’m fully caught up at chapter 240–excitedly awaiting updates), and this is soooo much better than i remembered it being! not just that, but it just keeps getting better and more intense by the chapter!!! excellent character development, for one… great world-building… and amazing emotional complexity, too! there’s so much one can take from this. honestly, i figured ’weak hero’ would just be one of those typical school-bullying, nerd-turns-boss type shit… but it’s actually so much deeper than that. other than the incessant fighting, it’s mainly a story about loyalty, friendship, strategy, corruption… and we’re even starting to enter the realm of politics now as well! man, i can’t WAIT for gray and donald’s final fight somewhere down the line, lol. it’s definitely heading our way!!! there’s absolutely NO. CHANCE. IN. HELL. that our two geniuses with infinite (?) potential in both strategizing and martial arts prowess… won’t ever go head to head. there’s just no way. i have no idea when—or how—it’ll happen… but it surely will. i’d be genuinely disappointed if it didn’t at this point. i mean, the manhwa’s already incredibly action-packed, well-drawn and enticing… but that’d be some next-level storytelling if you ask me, lol. either way, this is an excellent read! seeing this through was definitely a good decision on my part, and ’m really looking forward to see how their story ends. :) edit #2: DID MY BOY DONALD NA SERIOUSLY JUST FUCKING DIE ON ME??? stop. please tell me he didn’t. :( he had some of the best redemption arc potential i’ve get seen in a comic, what the hell??!!! this CAN’T be it… i’m gonna fucking cry if it is. no, no, no, no, NO. fuck this shit, i won’t accept it. P.S. i know he’s technically supposed to be ‘the final boss’ and all, but i truly can’t see him as one. there’s way too much depth, complexity and background information to solely paint him as the villain when he’s literally just a broken boy with a devastating past whose mere existence was cursed by existence itself. fuuuuck meeeee. donald deserved a real chance to heal and find himself. :( he was never going to hide behind this ‘bad boy persona’ of his forever… it wasn’t real and i motherfucking saw that!!! any reader who actually paid attention to the development of the story (and its characters) would see that, too… and they’d feel equally as shattered as i do right now. this is genuinely so upsetting to me. i don’t even know what to do with myself right now. i was so looking forward to him and gray bonding and eventually becoming best buds… the vibes were there, the groundwork was there, and the redemption arc was literally RIGHT. FUCKING. THERE!!! not fair if you, author. you took away my favorite character. (ಥ﹏ಥ) …but still, though donald na’s chapter WAS closed near damn impeccably, i’ll admit. i couldn’t have asked for a better send-off for my favorite character... i’m just so upset and needed to vent. i wanted to see him thrive and find happiness so, so badly… STOP. i’m gonna need a minute to process this… or two. or two-hundred and sixty-three. whatever. ༶ඬ༝ඬ༶ (please be a dream, please be a dream, please be a dream, please be a dream—)
