Swordmaster

Ongoing | Emperor Penguin,whynotme | 2000 released

I normally rate after catching up, but in this case I'm still behind and it's been too long. It was pretty good but not binge worthy for me. But that can depend on a lot of things like personal tastes, what I feel like at the time, etc.

The Dark Mage’s Return to Enlistment

Ongoing | | 2022 released

This one's very good. I really hope they can keep it up. It's ripe with comedic potential since our man has been living in subhuman conditions where common sense doesn't apply, but he's mostly just a fun dude with his uncaring attitude. I don't know how interesting the powers will be, for now he just one punch man's everything to death.

Legendary Ranker’s Comeback

Ongoing | | 2022 released

I think sorta mediocre? The restrictions on mc are kinda bs and others don't have to follow them. There's some rando mary sue shoved in every once in a while. The other stuff was fine.

Revenge of the Iron-Blooded Sword Hound

Ongoing | | 2022 released

Pretty good. I like MC's personality and the plot is engaging. Fair amount of interesting characters none of which are sidekicks. I was kinda miffed about the girl but she's gone for now and he did give her a good scolding at least once.

F-Class Destiny Hunter

Ongoing | | 2022 released

Another pretty good one. Not a fan of the "all girls are good, all dudes are bad" thing going on. Yeah there's the twin but he looks exactly like his sister and is like 14? Far from the only series that has this problem though. The power system is meh. Don't like abilities that have downsides and have no interest in chinese based stuff like their gold wood whatever elements. The idea of it is fine, and the lunatic guy with his novel complex is interesting if nothing else. Too bad anyone that doesn't have a vag needs to be a selfish prick that mc uses or just hurts. He also randomly gives up good shit which is like why? I don't care if you have a plan it's the least satisfying thing ever to see you give up the first clear rewards to some douche. And the admins or whatever going out of their way to try and gimp him just bc his grade is low is dumb, weren't they supposed to be doing this for the sake of humanity?

Past Life Returner

Ongoing | Suzuki Misaki,Rei Gotoh,JANG,Na Min Chae | 2022 released

It's kinda mad when you think about it but great series. There's a few types of conflict mixed in for some variety. First 20 chapters is basically just stonks but actually interesting with some other prep to break things up, then we switch between politics, dungeon raiding, and assassination. Yes they all somehow make sense. This guy is basically planning to solo the entire dungeon break phenomenon and nipping various other issues in the bud. Love the side characters too. No romance but there is a girl with a lot of screentime in the later chapters, she's ok. MC is underage this entire time but he doesn't look it at all so I keep forgetting until someone mentions it, but because of how mature he acts even characters in the series tend to forget.

The End of the World is Just a Game to Me

Ongoing | Choi Woo-jin,HOOPA | 2022 released

I thought this was gonna suck but it's very fun. MC catches on quick and really makes the most of it. The story isn't too predictable, there's a good combo of op action, op smarts and showboating, plus the chat isn't as annoying as you'd think. It adds to the humour with mc being insane enough to keep up the streamer act while on a killing spree. He's not actually super op though he's just smart enough to problem solve. EDIT: authors having a sadistic streak, beware.

The Knight King Who Returned with a God

Ongoing | | 2022 released

Absolutely amazing. I thought it was gonna be a generic fanservice setup where the guy is useless with a sexy goddess that does everything but it isn't. MC is crazy OP but also sticks to his bit way too well. He's a knight king and he isn't gonna change for anybody, always talking about honour and making the most benign decisions to everyone else. The goddess isn't following him around or anything he just prays to her to bless the land. EDIT: Dropped it hasn't been as good in later chapters and apparently it's a harem??

Terminally-Ill Genius Dark Knight

Ongoing | | 2022 released

It's fine. Some good parts, some meh. The illness gimmick isn't very interesting, even if they try to expand on it compared to others where it's just like "I need money for expensive medicine".

Leveling Up With Skills

Ongoing | | 2022 released

If there's one thing I can appreciate it's that the way the plot is set up, nothing can be stolen from him. A lot of these have other people get some good stuff too but I'm a greedy ho and want it all. Unfortunately he helps other people get stronger because he doesn't care about power and just wants to beat the apocalypse. Very few "oh shit he's so cool" moments because there are no other people around to witness anything ever. The power up system and overall story are fine.
