Peepaw's Manga

This story is very nostalgic for me so I wanted to reread it and see how it held up... unfortunately not that wellll. Like there was way more grown ass man x high school student than I remembered The first half is great I love it, but it gets worse over time... I love Dio and James the whole way through tho they're great. There's some poorly timed fan service that drags it down. Yeah James has big boobies but can we not do this right after he was sexually assaulted. Rugal raping him in the side stories was also dumb and unnecessary. Like there's no consequences for it at all. It wasn't even taken a little seriously by the characters, and it only happened so they could have some stupid resolution for Rugal. Like he could've just died that would've been a satisfying ending, we didn't need him coming back just to rape the mc and give some monologue hinting about his tragic backstory and weird perception of love. We already KNOW he has an unhealthy way of loving someone, you don't need another scene of him explaining it. Anyways... the main plot is fine there's just other stuff that makes it bleh.

Like my 2nd favourite, maybe 1st I'd have to reread my current favourite to know for sure, manhwa I adore this with my whole heart. I miss u everyday pookie why'd u have to end... Love the characters love the world love the story LOVE the art. Parkour is amazing and so fun to read. Makes sense cuz I'm pretty sure the author did a lot of research and worked with really experienced people to figure out the scenes. They look amazing they're super dynamic and I love how movement is illustrated. Anyways, aside from that, this made me SOB like constantly. Relationships are written so well and I love how the characters develop. The villains are super well written and the conflicts are interesting. Stakes feel real and I was stressed every week waiting to see what happened next. Genuinely just really really love this story I wish it was more popular. Webtoon I'm begging you to advertise ur good unique stories instead of promoting the same shitty romances. The amount of gems I've found on that platform that just fade into obscurity or get cancelled cuz webtoon is a pos company drives me INSANE.

This one has REALLY good fight scenes. The plot itself is pretty mediocre. It gets weird near the end, from what I remember. Like sort of rushed and things weren't explained properly. Also stuff that's set up at the beginning feels irrelevant after a certain point. But the art is great. Easily my favourite fight scenes in any manhwa. The movements are so fluid and feel real. It's a treat to read them and I kept up with updates for this even after the plot started really falling off just cuz of the fight scenes lol. My 2nd favourite action scenes overall, but it's up against the parkour in Parallel City so it was doomed from the start. I recommend it just if u like seeing good fights and art, cuz they're what's stuck with me the most in the almost 2 years since I last read this. The art outside of the fight is also really good. The expressions are really fun, it's just an expressive style overall. I really like the art if u can't tell. A lot of fanservice, but it's kinda tasteful for the most part. No harem, tho there is somewhat of a love interest (from what I remember).
