So I bumped into a new series while going down the rabbit hole with no description. Cover art and title was interesting so I read a few.

Standard setup and back story. Might be interesting to see if anything unique stands out…

Then it kept jumping forward. The story progressed way too fast.

I realized it was a manhua.

I don’t know why but there’s always so much happening so fast it’s hard for me to digest it all that I end up dropping it.

What are your thoughts?

Other manhua I’ve dropped:

  • Versatile Mage

  • My Wife is a Demon Queen

  • Monster Pet Evolution

  • MentalEdge

    Only manhwa I recently read was What Happens Inside the Dungeon and though it has rough start, Reva’s art improves a lot and it does a bait switch halfway where it turns out that the dirty jokes and gags also come with plot.

    The stupid jokes never stop but the characters get fleshed out and there’s some actual stakes. I enjoyed it.

    I do read The Gamer on occasion but mostly to see how it keeps upping the complexity of the plot while giving the reader less and less of the characters, and somehow it just keeps going. I do not consider it good or worth recommending.

    Solo Leveling’s manhwa Adaptation is also quite good IMO.

    The Breaker is fantastic, but its manhwa in name only. Korean, yes, but the author basically draws it 100% like a manga.

      I read the gamer on occasion as well. It’s tolerable and does provide some context. It does have the occasional info dump with gets old fast. I tend to skip the history bits.

      I’ve read the breaker 1 and 2. Fantastic series. This one is korean not Chinese though.

        Yeah I only just learned the differences between manhua and manhwa when I looked it up after commenting to make sure I got it right.
