I Became A Top Actor Just By Reading Books
There's a bit of a romance subplot, but it doesn't subtract from the acting (which I read this for)! Enjoyable to see the MC acting in different works and slowly climbing his way up. I'd like to him use his writing skills at least once in his second life, though. There's a bit of drama with other actors here and there, scandals, etc. Has some wholesome (and funny) moments that really make you want shout "Ganbare!" at the MC, haha.
I am possessed by the Sword God
Heavy bromance. Refreshing take on the Murim setting. Usually see girl obsessed MCs, but here the MC genuinely wants to grow stronger. Character growth. Both physically and mentally. Dynamic characters. Friendship. Good action. Not bad. Better than I expected, and I look forward to when the MC starts developing an ego.
Martial Arts Alone
Decent. Art's okay. Seems like there's an FL? The MC's just kind of basic and so is the story. Action is satisfactory, though. If you're going to read this, read it for the fight scenes.
The Lazy Swordmaster
It's not bad. Of course, the MC and his side character buddies have to fight against this evil organization. At first, it was just face slapping but then it took an intriguing turn. One thing particularly interesting about this comic is the depth of the trauma the MC has regarding heroics. It literally haunts him, so much so that I can see that the author is showcasing the MC having a mental disorder. Mental health isn't really talked about in these manhwas, so that was a welcome aspect. I like that there's a healing theme (e.g. the MC's mom and the other characters supporting the MC, albeit from the sidelines). The art is a bit sorry to look at, but otherwise, it has a rounded story. Evident character development. The action's just slice and death so not that engaging. If you're going to read this, read this for the characters and the story, not so much the action. The (prospective) FL annoys me, but that's my personal gripe. Also, a lot of the plot is simply the MC getting dragged into things he doesn't want to do, which is what you expect for the first few chapters, but it gradually becomes a drag.
The Extra is Too Strong
The art's semi-decent. I like that pretty much everyone is buff. MC practically transmigrated with a golden finger, but he has drive. Ambition. The action is engaging. I'm don't have much hopes for the underlying story, though. We know the MC has those characteristics, but why? He's a bit weak as a character when he's supposed to be the MC.
I Returned as an FFF-Class Witch Doctor
Better than I thought it would be. I like that he's an actual "witch doctor," meaning we get to see him do voodoo stuff. His appearance fits the bill, too. He just doesn't give a flying rock about anything. He bulldozes through fights and stuff with his powers. He does have a few cheats, but that's how protags always are. I like that he's not purely revenge driven, too. The game provides action and a smidge of mystery regarding the reason behind his regression and all that. Plus, it's funny and has great (meme-worthy) art. Streamer MC is okay.
F-Class Destiny Hunter
Tad bit cliché and frustrating to read, but it's all justified story-wise. The art's great (almost a given). The MC is a tsundere, haha. A lot of the "villains" serve as cannon fodder. They exist to be pummeled by the MC. The MC's growth was spontaneous at the start but it settled into your typical rate of an OP MC. So far, what sets this apart from other comics of the same genre are the characters. The primary ones are a part of the MC's "family." They are also his weakness, but I didn't have to tell you that. Cliché yet not the worst.
