its hard to get invested in this story personally. his training journey doesnt feel palpable? the storytelling is sort of stale.. he doesnt face adversity of any kind throughout his journey and we never see him suffering or experiencing joy. he feels like a wooden doll. not to mention the way he gets more powerful is very? it just happens just because lmao and the power system aka the martial arts and the whole ki thing is just a bunch of nothing.

ch. 25
pausing for now. the art is good! i like the unintenional bond he makes with the underground boss.
- i dont like the "friends" (aka the ginger and the blondie). i feel like they got let off too easily considering theyve probably been bullying that other poor kid in the group. it probably wouldve continued too if mc didnt enter the school. it feels corny to have the bullies suddenly turn good and step up for the bullied without getting retribution first.
- im not very endeared by the family bond? to me dayun feels very one note. i really do sympathise with her because of how brutal she was being bullied, but i dont really like the weird incesty subtext between her and the mc.
ch. 116
the writing is really plain. especially the dialogue, its very stiff and theres just not alot of it. because most of the characters have like a maximum of two facial expressions the overall story feels very flat.

+ ch. 17
it looks like i read this before? i bookmarked it at ch. 17

+ ch. 1
awe i wish this story got picked up by the same artist that did the prologue

+ ch. 97
the tl is kinda incomprehensible at times so i started to skim through chapters. its objectively speaking a good manhua with really nice art and story. but what i dont like is the sexualisation of the female characters, especially the minor ones. its obvious and super uncomfortable. also got jumpscared by a near sa scene at one point during the story. it felt very? idk i felt very unsettled by it.
also, i have irrational dislike for ye mu for some reason lmao. sorry but i just dont like his righteousness it pisses me offfff

+ ch. 114
ehhh ive kinda decided to drop it for now? this is the first time a story has genuinely pissed me off, and all because of the god awful romance subplot that came out of the authors ass crack. it literally stinks up the entire story for me that i cant fully immerse myself anymore. and i dont hate it either when theres romance in action focused stories only IF they are actually incorporated well enough to the story itself. but unfortunately this story doesnt. its so bad, because it makes no sense whatsoever. for the past seasons or so there was absolute no hint of attraction between artis or ephyr, rather theyve enjoyed a very platonic almost familial bond throughout, but suddenly theyre being paired together? just because they have a special connection from being of the same kind? not to mention the most infuriating thing is that suddenly kibier is interested in hanbin??????? where the fuck did that come from??? cuz we literally spent the entire previous arc establising a deeper connection between kibier and roandal, and suddenly kibier is in love with hanbin? not to mention she begins to show this supposed interest through by being portrayed as a jealous tsundere in ch. 108 which feels so fucking ooc. im not hating on people who ship these people together, but personally i never saw this coming and i dont enjoy it at all and thats just my opinion.

+ ch. 6
i should power through this, but its kinda subpar and abit cringe? idk, i dont find the mc compelling nor any of his achievements cool enough to read more

+ ch. 113
HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD! this is stellar, a quality story with top notch art and a lovely cast of characters! despite the initial light tone with the humor, its actually quite brutal. the main character, hu gong, is such an enigma.
