ReviewRaptor's manga / #NOT INTERESTED(282)

Wonky af art that can't bet bothered to draw the 'hot guy' ML looking actually good, dumb plot that would DEFINITELY get you killed if this wasn't a comedy genre story and a false artwork as cover. Hard pass from me.

One of the VERY rare stories that do not create a mentally damaged character and just write him off as the unredeemable villain. But even if that point was actually adressed well, there are still flaws to the writing and especially the art makes me dislike this quite a lot. The art is SO horrible inconsistent. Their faces look like a solid head form and a vaguely attached pair of eyes, nose and mouth is just randomly wobbling and floating about (you know EXACTLY what I mean of you read it and pay attention to the faces). I get not being good at this, but these mistakes vary SO much that it almost feels like multiple people just attempt to slap a face onto a blank head. And even then...the headshapes change at times as if there was no set shape for THAT either. It is SO incredibly annoying to look at. It's one of the many times in a chinese comic that makes me want to read the novel instead...and that's just sad. Idon't know if they paid someone to draw this, someone who does NOT give a shit, but it sure feels that way. The story itself is also not written well for the majority of the time. It's incredibly childish, mary sue-ish at times and just feels weird, like a teenagers highschool romance musical plot that they are convinced is THE most epic story ever told. At times it seriously feels like a teenager was told a basic script by their younger sibling and they tried to string it into a story. It's ok as a page flipper IF you ignore the horrible art issues and don't mind the childish writing, but it gets annoying easily and I find myself quick-scrolling through entire chapters just to catch a glimpse of something interesting looking (which there is not much of tbh). The story drags, the characters are not interesting except for the mysterious mage dude and the art makes it unpleasant to read. Maybe it's good for younger readers who have little to no standards of quality, but this goes onto my list for 'why reading chinese works is usually a huge waste of time unless you find that ONE in a million copycat plots or LO AND BEHOLD something actually selfmade with effort put into it'. Seriously, the only positive point about this is the fact they bothered adressing the emperor's mental issues and that he has a reason to be the way he is. That's the only reason I can't give this a zero rating, but that's really ALL to rate positively. :/

I don't think it's the translations fault that the story is THIS confusing. New elements get intoduced but only barely explained. Like: WHAM, BAM, DEAL WITH IT. Of course the translation getting worse and worse doesn't help, but from how the comic itself is portraying situations you can tell it's not JUST the translation that's at fault here. It's the people who wrote this and didn't put enough effort into making it coherrent. It reads like a VERY rough storyplot with things happening way too random and like in nightrider, JUST when it's useful...kinda like the author thought of those things in THAT very moment and just thought 'yeah, imma put that in'. Without re-reading how it reads for others and undertsanding it's just way to random. It's just very amateur-ishly written. There wasn't enough time put into making the story coherrent and fleshing things out, which is one of the most important steps when writing a story. It's really a shame, since the very basis WAS super interesting. What with multiple regressors and the strange curse,etc.. But at this point it's just too much of a chore to read. It's not pleasant at all. I really wanted to keep going but it's just made me loose all interest. Maybe someone will make a copycat version of this with more effort (or maybe THIS one is the copycat? idunno). I'm sadly dropping this. Give it a shot but unless you have little to no experience with good writing, this is definitely not a good read.

REALLY dislike her treating being isekai'd as a means to just view people as her personal playthings and trying to collect them like fvcking Pokemon. WTF. She's relatable only at very few moments, gives MAJOR unhinged crazy bitch vibes half the time and all in all the story is just getting more unappealing as it goes on. Good as page flicker because of the very nice art, but the story is turning from 'weird, okay' to more and more shitty. Try it for yourself, you might have a good time with a totally random personality MC but I for one HATE characters like that. Fucking McGuyver lookin ass personality....

Fuckin' scam promo art and the actual artwork is all those fucking moonfaces. I can't look at this shit. XD Dropped, not gonna bother with balloon-heads.
