Zihvuda's Manga

MC is a strong swordsman who's pretty much the last warrior standing in the face of an apocalypse brought on by angel like beings. He's heavily wounded and finds his commanding officer, a woman who turns out to have known the about the apocalypse and tried to stopped it three times, dying propped against a rock. The commander failed to stop the apocalypse 3 times and feels MC might do better, so she gives him the ability to restart his life from a young age and try to prevent the apocalypse in her stead. He does so and after reincarnating back to his youth, goes to attend a prestigious academy to gather and train strong allies to join his cause.
The beginning had me, but it then lost me a bit when MC is revealed to be even more special than he initially was. It didn't completely lose me mind, but just a bit. I find this story not to be bad or terrible, but it is a little forgettable? I feel it's too mean to put it like that, but at the same time, that's how I feel. I do encourage giving this a read, because it's not bad, and the characters are compelling, even if the plot occasionally is not.
The art is pretty good, and the translation is legible. Meaning that so far, no chapters translated by people who don't actually know any english have been uploaded to ruin readership.

Special twins are born to the emperor, the mother decides to immediately have the daughter gotten rid of, because of superstition. Pretty soon after some immortal cultivators come and just take the son away to train him. The daughter isn't killed but rather abandoned and is picked up by a wondering warrior who adopts her. The twins share a connection and as their martial arts develop, they end up able to talk to each other in a kind of psychic way when meditating. Thus they learn of each other's existence and help each other.
The start was interesting and had me hooked, but then the translation became worse, the panel layout changed and there's an awful lot going on at all times with several different characters. Meaning, there's a lot to keep track of plot wise. If the translation were better, I'd probably have kept up, but no there's too much reading to do in all the panels to want to endure a low quality translation for. It's a real shame, cause the art is wonderful. I think there's elements of the plot that are also not really to my taste, but I'm not altogether certain because of the translation. And really, no-one can blame me for not being able to focus when they're translating teleportation arrays or spells to "warp-drives" like who the fuck isn't going to immediately be taken out of the story from shit like that???

The art is very pretty, but censors kisses in a terribly distracting way. What's the point making this a comic if the art isn't allowed to illustrate? There's better ways then giant ass word balloons obstructing both their heads. Also the story is annoying. I thought we'd get dude who went back in time training to be stronger, making use of acquired knowledge from the future and slowly uncovering mysteries + misunderstandings. Instead Mc's an idiot who makes no use of future knowledge or cultivation techniques or anything. He's s childish and whiny! Basically reverts back to being a child with no self awareness. His abusive master is abusive, and rather then turning away from him much earlier than he did in his previous life mc just tries to "tease" him and is constantly worrying about him, but without resolving any misunderstandings from the past life. Like at least when wei wuxian came back, he knew his shit and didn't act like a fucking teenager even if he was in the body of one. MC here died as the strongest cultivator at least 10 years or more in the future, but the story shows none of that future knowledge or maturity. It's such a shallow story that apparently wants to be kind of light hearted and comedic, but also wanting to be tragic and taken seriously. It fails at both, which makes me not care. I thought mc would do something interesting with his new life, but there's nothing there. Ugh... absolutely hate "the victim falling in love with their abuser" trope, it's shitty and for how longs it's been a staple of bl stories, it's also been done to death. So uninteresting. I haven't read the novel, but this hasn't given me any reason to go try reading that either. Ugh. Hard pass, don't understand why this is popular, or why this cliche of a plot remains so goddamn popular in bl stories. Don't waste your time on this there's better ways to spend your time. Like watching paint dry.

Warning: gore
A loyal and long serving soldier is betrayed by his lord of a father, who has him executed on trumped up charges. The soldier dies but also goes back in time to when he was a baby and has his life to relive. He decides he's going to get revenge on the man who neglected him, used him and ultimately killed him. He does so by getting stronger but also continuing to serve his father, playing the long game I guess.
So far the only changes to his previous life are his strength and his own feelings towards his father. He doesn't really do anything that different except adapt to the changes his increased strength bring. His father suddenly loves him for being a strong genius, but MC continues to think to himself about revenge and shit.
The plot is pretty paint by numbers, there's no attempt at character development, rather MC seems to stay unchanged so far, the other characters seem to like him, but it's clear MC has no interest in forming any sort of genuine relationships, though he does act like the good and loyal son for his father. The character interactions are kind of boring to me. Now, the revenge, which is the driving force of the plot also starts to lose it's appeal after a bit, because the author doesn't communicate MC's future steps and plan with regards to *how* he's going to take revenge on his father. You just see him meander from one thing to another, and mostly he seems to go along with it for reasons, but we don't find out why or how any of it will help. Most of the stuff he does is not only to increase his strength but also to please his father, and honestly my question would be why? And how is this different? MC instead is just made to remind the audience that he still hates his dad, and still wants bad things for him. I lost interest because of that.
Another thing that really doesn't help with the story is the frankly badly delivered exposition. Several times in the story MC will go "ah yes, this thing", conveying that he knows the thing, and then, regardless of this assertion, another character will still exposit the thing to him in detail. They do it all the time and it's so strange! Why are they telling MC shit he already knows?? Especially when he acts like he knows in front of these people? It's not a good look when you end up skipping half the dialogue because you're not interested in the world building info. MC already knows everything, and directly thinks he's not interested in politics or anything that's happening around him, just his own goals. So why would the audience be interested when MC himself doesn't care? The information doesn't help, and it changes nothing for MC or the story. For these reasons I find this quite boring, and can't really recommend it, which is a shame. The art is VERY good. Nothing looks bad or awkward, characters look good from all the angles as do the backgrounds and animals. It's rare for an artist to be good at both animals and people, but here we are. I'm sad the story and plot couldn't match up to the greatness of the art. The panels flow, and there's not a time where I'm confused as to what is happening in story with the art. The translation seems fine and consistent for the most part, though I also didn't make it that far, so I wouldn't be able to confirm it's going to keep being that way.

Guy who has no talent tries his best, but is eventually irreparably damaged and then kicked out of his clan. Heartbroken, the man drinks the last of his money away and while aimlessly wondering, drunk, alone and homeless he's accosted and killed by some bandit. MC them travels back in time and starts his life again, vowing to not even try this time, and do his bets to escape his terrible family.
I was really rooting for MC to succeed in escaping his clan, but it seems the story is another one of those where MC stays in the abusive environment that absolutely traumatized him before and still earn the acceptance of the very people he was trying to escape. I don't understand why it's so hard for him to just leave, but it's annoying and in the end I dropped this, cause fuck it. He's also another weird MC who just talks to himself in public and somehow no-one pays attention to his ramblings. Honestly if he truly wanted to be left alone and be trash, all he'd have to do is fake being insane or something. I usually like these kinds of stories, but the important factor is that MC is always on board, but here he isn't, and it feels extremely icky that he has to stay with his abusers despite clearly wanting to get the fuck away and not wanting to be involved. For crying out loud, he literally says hiss real family are the maids and nanny's that raised him. Author also does nothing with that, none of the maids have any sort of character and barely get screen time. MC doesn't confide in them, nor does he have any emotional scenes with them. I didn't get far, but the art seemed fine and so did the translation.
