lilithespark's manga / #fantasy(764)

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.

Really good comic about law! Reminded me of "Again My life" in that the MC is working towards taking down these extremely powerful figures, being a sort of harbinger of justice. Our MC regressed into the past, and he changes the lives of those around him. In both good and bad ways. I'm glad the MC isn't a judge like Judge Cha Moon-sook from Lawless Lawyer, haha. This is more so about fighting with words, you know, political stuff. There might be a romantic subplot brewing, but again, it is not the main focus of the story. Plus, the female characters in the story do play a pivotal role. The MC isn't too one dimensional. Like, he has other sides to him (e.g. Pokémon battle theme ringtone, cute pajamas) which I found to be a pleasant touch to his character. Not too sure why people are saying this should be a BL. Maybe it's because of his "friend," Yoon-hyuk? Yoon-hyuk reminds me of that blond dude from "Medical Return." Haha, anyway, the MC slowly but surely climbs up the social latter and tackles case upon case in order to serve justice whilst operating under the law and all that. Thrilling action. Compelling story and improving art.

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.

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.
