The Great Mage Returns After 4000 Years

Ongoing | barnacle,kim deok-yong , redice studio | 2019 released

this is so good!!! i’ve really fallen in love with this genre. and i love his personality, too! it kinda reminds me of ‘legend of the northern blade’, which i finished binging just yesterday. i’m only 20 chapters in, but i’m already enthralled with this one! i’m excited. ^^ edit: I. LOVE. HUMAN. POWERHOUSES. seriously, i’m weak. it’s so fucking sexy. edit #2: this is AMAZING. i live for the growth!!! if he was a powerhouse before, he’s the fucking sun right now. so cool. edit #3: just finished chapter 105 and i’m actually SOBBING!!!!! i truly love this story arc. edit #4: well, i guess i’m ‘technically’ on chapter 114 right now, but i’ve decided to reread this while awaiting new chapters… because why not? so let’s goooo, you guys!!! i’m ridiculously exited. i feel like a kid in a candy store, lol. rereading my favorite manhwas is really the best pastime there is! just finished reading solo leveling for the third time yesterday, too, and ahhhh, i’m still reeling from that. i wonder which story i’ll choose next, haha!! oh well, i’m rambling. latersss. ;) #feelingblissful edit #5: my god. i’m only on chapter 2 (for the second time) and i’m already shaking. i’m not even joking. i assume it’s because i already know everything that’ll happen up until chapter 114 as of right now, but maaaan!!! this is genuinely thrilling. i’ll never again hesitate to reread a story i worship, lol! so great. edit #6 (spoiler alert): once again, i just finished 105 again and i’m sobbing even harder this time, lol. this shit fucking hurts. you’ll stick with me, ricky!! he wasn’t with us for long, but during this short time we knew him, was an amazing character and he’ll be greatly missed. man, this definitely left a mark. fml.

The Constellation That Returned From Hell

Ongoing | writingmachine, Sichi , 시치 | 2000 released

this is going to be epic, i’m sure. edit: LMFAOOOO, I CAN’TTTTT. edit #2: i wonder if this might be the biggest and most extensive misunderstanding i’ve ever seen. like, anywhere. this is ridiculous, lol. ridiculously FUNNY, though!!! i’m so loving this. i can’t help but wheeze at this. his obliviousness is quite remarkable! fucking hell, this is different. <3 edit #3: just finished episode 48, so now i’m up-to-date. i didn’t expect to like this manhwa as much as i do, to be honest. it’s fucking HILARIOUS. and super creative, i’ll say! genuinely, this is so underrated. it’s like a combination of solo leveling, overgeared, legend of the northern blade and dungeon reset or something. (two of those are actually favorites of mine—especially solo leveling—so that ought to tell you something!) it’s so fucking great, y’all. 10/10, would recommend!!! i just love his naive personality, ambition, love for martial arts and his indifferent attitude. it’s hilarious, and a really, REALLY new and refreshing combination for me. i can definitely say, with utmost certainty, that i’ve never ever come across a character such as him before during my many literary endeavors, lol. it’s great. it’s certainly keeping me thoroughly amused, too! surprisingly fascinating. i’m loving these recent developments a lot. i can clearly tell that things will only continue to get even better and better, in that regard, from here and out. i’m super stoked for this unpolished diamond in the making!!!

Path of the Shaman

Ongoing | Eunyeol,Hwaram | 2000 released

this one looks so good!!! can’t wait to start reading. edit: haha, this is funnier than i expected it to be! i’m thoroughly amused. jinmu’s such a savage, lol. i suppose living for 80+ years will do that to a person. what a boss ass bitch!!! well, anyway. keep it up, jinmu! you’re quite the character—so entertaining. i’m really digging this plot, too! i’m curious about what the final conclusion will be down the line. ^^ edit #2: HE’S SUCH A MANIPULATIVE, GREEDY LITTLE BITCH LMFAOOOO, I FUCKING LOVE HIM!!! edit #3: oh my god, this is AMAZING. i love jinmu!!! call me simp or whatever, i don’t care. daddy edit #4: LMFAOOO!!! just finished reading chapter 57 and i fucking wheezed hard enough to give me a coughing fit. this is excellent writing, truly. comedic genius. this guy… jinmu’s definitely a character, that’s for sure. would i want to meet him? NO. is he a good person? ABSOLUTELY NOT. but do i respect his ingenuity and tenacity? FOR. SURE. he’s so cunning in everything he does, seriously. i admire the shit out of him. this dude is so funny, i can’t even... i just can’t. edit #5: THINGS. JUST. KEEP. GETTING. BETTER. AND. BETTER. this cunning motherfucker gives me purpose. whenever i see there’s a new update, i click on it immediately ’cause i already know i’m about to be cracking up like a cracked up hyena on motherfucking CRACK. this is comedic genius.

The beginning after the end

Ongoing | Turtleme,Fuyuki23 | 2000 released

15 chapters in and i can already tell that this is going to be an amazing story. edit: 123 chapters in and i’m maaaad obsessed. i’m too tired to explain my thoughts at the moment, but hey, you guys will definitely be missing out on something great if you don’t check this one out. i guarantee you won’t be sorry! edit #2: OH. MY. GOD. i forgot just how powerful this guy is. man, this is why i’m here. this is incredible stuff, fuck.

Kill the Hero

Ongoing | D-dart,Manhwa life | 2019 released

edit #4: i’m adding this way up here because i’ve really changed my mind since the beginning. to put it bluntly, i simply don’t wish for my earlier notes to put anybody off this story, lol. i LOVE this. i just finished chapter 82 and i’m pretty damn obsessed at this point. it keeps growing on me the more i read! anyway, just wanted to add this real quick. this review of mine really did a 180 from back in the day when i just started reading, haha. but the show must go on!!! i’m struggling to figure out exactly what this plot is supposed to be. i was hoping for something similar to solo leveling in both plot and quality, but i guess i shouldn’t have had such high expectations. (solo leveling is clearly SUPERIOR. in everything. lesson learned.) it just seems like homeboy’s on a vendetta to kill… uhm, everyone?? although i’m not even sure about that at this point. am i missing something crucial here??? i can’t seem to figure him out. i barely know what his personality’s like, nor what his actual intentions are. there’s so little depth at this point!!! i’m yearning for some amazing buildups and climaxes, but it doesn’t seem as though i’ll get much of either. the fights are all one-dimensional and anticlimactic as hell. i swear to f***, if this shit continues like this… i’ll be suing a bitch. anyway, i’ll stick around for a bit and see how things unfold. i’m only on chapter 30, after all. i’m hoping for some serious character growth and ‘skills’ which will be developed gradually and realistically over time; not some shallow rewarding system where he gains skills and items without having to do anything. it seems as though he does very little to earn the rewards he ends up getting right now. this shit is all over the place, lol. it seems as though this is merely a poorly executed attempt at a solo leveling remake. no one can beat, replace or rival sung jinwoo or his natural abilities. (CLEARLY.) well, not in this genre, at least. i suppose i should’ve figured that much beforehand, lol. i’m yet to come across one that can match SL in every aspect, and i’ve read and familiarized myself with quite a few comics within this genre at this point. i really feel like ranting about how great and complex and wonderful and captivating solo leveling is compared to everything else i’ve read up until now (which is quite a bit), but i’ll try to refrain. and even though i know one shouldn’t compare two different stories made by two different authors, i can’t help it in this case. there are way too many ‘attempted’ similarities between the two to ignore. siiigh… if you’re gonna try your hand at creating a new story based on (and clearly inspired by) an already loved and well-received novel and comic, at least make sure it’s worthwhile and not a cheap knockoff. it’s a shame, really. i can only hope that things’ll get better from here. i won’t hold my breath, though. edit: just started chapter 50 and i’m happy to announce that things are starting to get better and a lot more cohesive in the process! i think i’m starting to make sense of most things, but there are still a few question marks left. i’m uncertain about his motives and which ‘side’ he’s on still. i’ll keep reading! things are finally starting to become exciting. i’m starting to look forward to the next chapter as soon as i finish one! that’s a great sign in my book. edit #2: this man is so fucking sly. sheesh… and an excellent strategist at that. you go, sir!! fucking hell, i can’t decide whether i should admire him or despise him. perhaps i should settle with a little bit of both. the best of both worlds, aye? this’ll be fun. ^^ edit #3: don’t know how, when or why, but this has somehow become one of those updates i anticipate and look forward to the most. things have really gotten a lot better. can’t wait to see what’s in store for these guys! i take back most of the things i said in the beginning. i’m loving this!

Peerless Dad

Ongoing | Noh Cyungchan,Hyun Suk Lee | 2000 released

OH MY GOD, I FUCKING ADORE HIM. AND HIS KIDS!!!!! this shit is amazing. no cap. i’m soooo happy i decided to read it!!! i’m already ecstatic for future updates. <33

White Blood

Ongoing | Lina Im , Jeonghyeon Kim | 2019 released

my god, this one’s epic. and there’s only one epilogue chapter left… fml, imma cry. ;-; anyway, this is DEFINITELY worth checking out, you guys. i guarantee you won’t be disappointed. even calling it epic could be considered an understatement… bruh. although y’all should do so on webtoon where it’s available for free. let’s support this incredible creator!!!

Noblesse: Rai's Adventure

Complete | son jae-ho,lee gwang-su | 2016 released

i just finished noblesse a short while ago. i’m sobbing and therefore in desperate need of a distraction ASAP. can’t believe it’s over. fuck me. but just as expected, this was wholesome af!!! a nice little escape into events that happened way before his 820 year long slumber. really appreciate the creators for giving us this bonus on top of everything, though... i truly miss these guys already. i just wish we’d get to find out just how rai and everyone else managed to survive that final scene in the actual noblesse story. hmmm… will we ever get to find out? i hope so, but i’ll try not to expect too much. it’s been an amazing experience either way. creators, I LOVE YOU. and thank you. (P.S. this, just like noblesse, is available for free on webtoon. head over there and support the creators.)

The Return of the Crazy Demon

Ongoing | 유진성 | 2019 released

can’t wait to start reading this one, it looks amazing. i just need more chapters before i binge!!! edit: i started reading it anyway, heh. (it’s available for free on webtoon, by the way!!!) this is pretty damn great, to be honest. i love where this is going. and i ADORE this errand boy slash mad demon of ours! his personality is kinda epic, lol. this is so amusing. i’m excited to continue!!! edit #2: this guy is soooo much fun!!! i know literally said that up ^ there a short while ago, but duuuude, this guy is HYSTERICALLY funny, crazy witty and soooo fucking savage, lol. i definitely appreciate the fact that he’s neither good nor bad… well, based on moral standards of the murim word, that is. he’s just doing what he thinks is right. i love to see it!!! what a king, gaaawd. edit #3: i’m fully caught up now and OHMYFUCKINGGOOOOD, HAHAHAHAHAH!! what a boss, seriously. i can’t deal. he’s so funny.

Return of the Flowery Mountain Sect

Ongoing | Biga (비가) , LICO | 2019 released

<333 looks great. just need to wait for more chapters before i start! i genuinely hope there’ll be a mass release at some point later on, but it seems a bit unlikely. oh well. edit: haha, it’s quite different from my expectations! i’m definitely not complaining, though. i thought there’d be somewhat more solemn and serious ’vibes’ for whatever reasons, but homeboy’s characteristics really bring some humor and spice into the mix, lol. it’s great! i do love colorful characters who leave lasting impressions. i’m also pleasantly surprised by the length of these chapters! since there are only 40 available as of right now, i thought i’d breeze my way through them in two hours or something. (i’m a relatively fast reader.) but, considering my reasoning as to why i haven’t binged this earlier, i must say that this is a clear bonus. i’m only 15 chapters in right now and it feels as though i’ve already made it quite far—which, in reality, i obviously haven’t. thus, this is a great news!!! heh, i’m exited. i’ll be able to continue this in the morning (and possibly afternoon) as well. i’m so tired right now, sheesh. edit #2: oh, come on!!! it’s just plain cruelty to leave us with a cliffhanger like that… ;–;
