Eh... I've tried to get into this one a couple times, and I just can't for some reason. I can't even quantify what that reason is exactly, but I just want to click away and stop reading every time I start reading. Not for me, I guess. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The Great Mage Returns After 4000 Years

Some powerful mage from the past gets into a fight with a "demigod" and gets sealed away for 4000 years. For reason's as yet unknown he is released upon the suicide of a young bullied mage attending an academy. He reincarna- erm... transmigrates(?) as the child who just committed suicide and decides to continue attending the academy to learn about this new modern world as well as get stronger than he was 4000 years ago to get a rematch with the demigod who sealed him.
Not for me. A lot of these stories are male power fantasies and while I usually like them, this is too much for me. <_<;; I'm sure that isn't the case for other people, so I suggest making up your own mind.

This is the story of some kid with a mysterious past and a secret identity. He's an over powered mage and does missions for an organization he's part of, and our story starts with him doing really mundane small missions because his master is trying to hide him from... some people. Said master conspires to send this overly talented and fully fledged mage to magic school without MC's consent on the pretext of "make friends with this bullied kid" mission. I get that I'm not supposed to think about it, but I'm betting our MC would actually be bored to tears in class and be hated by most of the professors. However this is one of those stories that's set in a school, but we never see any actual lessons happen. Unless it's gone wrong and an action scene is to take place. I've read quite a few chapters and have absolutely no earthly idea as to what the various "professors" we've been introduced to teach, or how they teach. Also one (1) faculty member is slightly concerned for bullied kid, but they barely do anything except talk to the kid, and the other teachers are shown to give less than two shits despite being aware of the bullying. Idiotic. The kid's from a ducal family, but no, the professors are pretty useless, gotta send some other kid undercover to solve this shit.
The story is pretty compelling (somehow), but the art is... well it gets marginally better, but not the way people in other comments are going on about it. The plot and characterizations also reek of "baby writer's first story". Especially the characterization. The way we're introduced to characters by the trope's the confirm to. The start didn't leave a particular good impression as it was using these tropes without knowing why or how to use them. There's the cool woman who's expressionless and for some reason a teacher at the school, but who's got absolutely no business being around kids. She's supposed to be a little like early Kakashi from naruto, or Aizawa of MHA, someone who's too cool to care, but actually does, and at the end of the day, does a really good job caring for the kids. She's got the too cool to care bit down, but seems to care nothing for anyone else except the princess character. There's the beautiful cool smart girl, her distinction is that she doesn't wear glasses despite being the smart girl character. That's the standard of characterization and while I do otherwise like the story, these aspects detract from my enjoyment somewhat. Especially at the beginning.
I'm going to drop this as I've come to my limit I guess, but judging by how highly rated this is, there's quite a few people who do like it. Thus, I'd recommend giving this story a try and seeing how you feel about it for yourself. It's trope-y as fuck, but it can also be fun and heartfelt. The comedy's mostly a miss for me, but it might not be so for you. The art... well it may be the actual deal breaker for most people. ^^;; Also this apparently got dropped by the author and I can see why, so this doesn't have an ending.

Yeah, a child is abused, finds out the family she's in is not her blood related family, she goes to find her father. Her mom's dead. For some reason her father couldn't raise her, or be there for her at all until she went to find him. Story is fluffy and cute and I like the art, but the translation is trash and a chore to read. Dropped.

This story is not meant to be taken seriously, but wants to incorporate extremely traumatic and serious elements and do nothing with them. I don't even know when the last time was that I disliked a story so much. I'm fine with unlikable villains, but this is... horrendous.
A woman and her summoned spirit king form a contract, fall in love, and then have a kid. The woman "makes" a child without telling the father-to-be anything, and she makes this child knowing she will give birth and instantly die and never have a chance to raise the child. The father doesn't know shit right up till the end. She drives him off with a misunderstanding and when she dies, he senses it and comes by and finds the baby, which he promptly abandons in another world. The woman left a letter explaining some things, but not anything about why she was such a selfish bitch to bring a life into the world without the consent of her lover and with certain knowledge she wouldn't be around to bear the responsibility of raising the child. Absolutely hate it! Irresponsible, selfish, horrible woman.
Next we have the would be father who doesn't notice this letter the woman left for him. The letter goes unnoticed for 17 goddamn years, during which the now abandoned child grows up in another world, in a loving adoptive family, perfectly content with their life. In the letter, woman says she leaves the raising of the child to man who didn't even have the chance to consent to being a father. I will not let this consent thing go. Elemental spirits in this story don't have genitals. They don't procreate through sex and generally are unable to have children. There's no chance for accidents of this kind, happy or otherwise! The selfish horrible woman asked for the elemental spirit King's aura and didn't tell him what she was going to use it for, or even ask if he'd want the child. She just did that shit and left it as his problem. I *hate* it.
Anyway, so the child's all happy in this other world, would be father finally reads the goddamn letter after 17 fucking years and suddenly decides to drag the child back, without any preamble. Because in the letter the woman says she leaves the raising of the child to him. FUCKING BULLSHIT!!!
He then proceeds to reveal to said child that he is the one that abandoned her, and she can't go back to her loving family (and HAPPY life) because now that he's dragged her ass back they don't remember she ever existed and all records of her have disappeared. This poor kid got told she was straight up unwanted *and* lost her family in the space of second and the author thought this should be something to put in her dumbass comedy webtoon where they play this whole thing off as a joke. I can't! I am SO angry!! The kid barely cares. She doesn't like this kidnapper of hers and wants to get away, but it's with the intensity and urgency of getting out of a light spring rain. This all should be extremely shocking and traumatizing and she basically doesn't even cry. Oh sorry, she does cry for a second when she thinks she's dead, but as soon as she figures out she isn't, it's fine. She's trapped with this asshole who insists she needs to be in his life, and I'm over here like this is wrong! This shouldn't be a comedy! This is a fucking horror story! A psychological horror! HATE IT!
If the child actually said shit back to the spirit king and properly hated him or actually properly angry with him I wouldn't hate it so much, but no, a teenager who gets their nintendo switch temporarily confiscated would be angrier than this kid. They barely care and are just all happy go lucky, when there is NO earthly justification for them to be in this situation. Hate it!
My fucking god! If authors want to include heavy serious backstories or events, fucking treat them as such, don't put this shit in a light comedy and then treat it as nothing! If you don't want angst in your fucking comedy story, don't fucking include trauma, tragedy and domestic abuse in this way you dumb fucks! The tone doesn't match even a little and it's just shit. It's way too fucking out of place and it isn't funny.
The art is pretty good, and the translation seems good. But I do not recommend this story even a little bit. It's terribly thought out. It could improve, I wouldn't know since I couldn't get passed chapter 7, but I highly doubt it. Just no. Skip this shit and read something else!

An amazing mercenary is betrayed and killed during a mission. He reincarnates as a high school kid who'd attempted suicide and finds himself with a loving family and new ordinary life in south korea. He wants revenge and goes about trying to figure out how to make that happen.
This was interesting and fun at first, but unfortunately there's one thing that's a pretty big part of the story that I can't stand. It's harem-ish for one thing, and I hate that, but more than that, is the one love interest that's a high school girl that he doesn't immediately and outright reject. He strings her along, even though he clearly thinks to himself that he's 29 and implies the girl is way too young for him. Secondly there's a french 26 year old woman that kind of gets obsessed with him and her response to him proclaiming he's in high school is "well I'm french." Bitch what? How dare! Don't like this author's idea that all french women are pedophiles, or that the protag is stringing along a high school girl he's at least 10 years older. The rest of the premise was really interesting, but can't stand to idiotic romance in this. Just no.
