axima's manga / #Magic(173)

Very nice, I'm not big on stories based on misunderstandings but that's expected of the genre and it was a somewhat necessary evil to set up our road to the good stuff. MC has plans to run away but for now is trying to get close to her dad (albeit for protection) and I like that kind of thing. She's also smart about manipulating things to go her way, and it's shown well enough to where it doesn't feel like someone else is solving all her problems for her. Daddy is very handsome and cute personality wise. He's made his mistakes but he tries his best.

Usually you only get to pick one, but this time we have both OP ability/item and return to the past. Not huge on the other characters here, it's mostly 2 annoying girls one of which is your typical boob pocket wearing mary sue. Mc's looks and personality are pretty good, and the skills he gets are interesting. He can copy abilities while disabling any penalty and cancel magic, although he doesn't make full use of either yet. His martial arts experience sounds like it could be useful in developing a different fighting style than just standing there and casting different coloured magic projectiles. EDIT: Lowkey a harem. It's unfortunate for a good series to get ruined like this, but yeah it's what you'd expect. You know MC would be better off alone but he still carries the chicks and they get way more credit than they deserve for doing the bare minimum.

Quite enjoyable. I feel bad for original Rudiger but the plot hinges on MC stealing an identity so it couldn't be helped. He's a cool guy, no funny business with a side of lacking any fucks to give. Just accepts that this is his life now and commits to the role. Hot too. The double spy plot isn't my cup of tea although I can see the appeal, more interested in his teaching career tbh.

Slow start that earns it's 5* rating as it goes on. MC is servicable, so are the side characters. He has his moments (particularly in comedy) but the main appeal is going to be the all around plot. Original novel seems fairly interesting based on what we've seen and MC's powers are pretty all encompassing which makes you curious on what he'll do next.

I like stories where the MC comes back from somewhere all OP and causes havoc, this is pretty much that. Comedy is above average too. After 10,000 years surrounded by demons anyone would gain a wonky moral compass. So MC makes some questionable albeit funny decisions. We're not actually told what all of his powers are which keeps you guessing. Not exactly plot heavy but what's there works well enough and the gate/combat stuff is just not generic enough for MC to do the heavy lifting in keeping your attention.

Cool MC. Side characters are more on the robust side. Plot is very good although not top tier. MC bulldozing his way through most problems is pretty fun, and he's still intelligent to spice things up. Fairly detailed explanations on how he's getting stronger beyond raw stats because there's no game system. His uncle is to die for.

Concept is great, too little chapters to judge. Decent comedy and that's about it. Starts off on a training arc I guess because they wanted OP MC but didn't want reincarnation or established position. EDIT: Gets really good after he gets accepted and goes to civil servant boot camp, although he still hides his power to an extent. EDIT 2: Not digging the work arc as much. His team are all massive pricks, and even if he's strong for a newbie he's nowhere near the manager's level, and we all know nobody reads this to watch MC get his ass kicked. EDIT 3: They're trying to cash in on solo leveling demographic while writing black clover. No OP MC just him being treated like shit with a thought bubble sometimes about how he has potential. You've spread yourself out too thin bro pick one and stick to it.

Chill MC that isn't a pushover, a rare commodity. The concept of him specializing in doing surgery on dead people kinda destroys my suspension of disbelief seeing as there's no magic involved, he walks in to a room with a corpse and can perform a surgery in minutes. When the patient gets their heart beating they're a-ok like they weren't braindead from there being no blood flow to the head. That's the only gripe I have though. Everything else ranges from solid to above average and fortunately he doesn't build a harem despite the amount of women he meets. I have a soft spot for saint stuff too. EDIT: I made it sound worse than it is, and it only gets better from the first chapters.

Uhhh, I like it quite a bit but it's gotten a bit stale? My passion can still be rekindled. Some weird reincarnation going on with his past life, don't remember if he intends to go back or not. Cool personality, doesn't try to hide that's he's different post memory loss a la duke pendragon. Don't dig the side characters in this one and the plot varies. Teleportation power is an interesting concept for one of these that I haven't seen explored beyond a fast travel spell.

Maaaaaybe good? Need to give it more time as I'm not quite caught up to raws. Guy uses some crackhead logic to get past very dangerous monsters, it works. He's now rising up the ranks in a slightly more traditional fashion but still does something strange occasionally.
