manga is looking alright so far; i like this type of trope but hmm... ¯_(ツ)_/¯ their call-to-action time feels delayed and the romance feels a little unnecessary/forced
one thing i definitely dislike though is the common cliche:
mc talks to or saves another girl > the girl looks at him kindly > FL (that mc isnt dating) gets pouty and goes "ur quite friendly with her hmph"
THE ART FOR THIS MANGA IS SO BEAUTIFUL
and the plot?!!?! jesus, everything has an explanation and its all coming together
doesnt seem too bad but kinda cliche
all the action scenes are predictable since its just fight monster > win overwhelmingly > get some of his original power back
i feel like this would be better if it had some sort of uniqueness to the plot, like the mc being childish or dumb (since he has the education of a middle schooler); or anything really
overall its alright; i like this trope but with how many ive read so far, this just feels like another copy paste with the typical
'my family was caring for me while i was a veggie, im op, i pop off in hunter exam, i save the op girl, everyone wants to recruit me, theres an evil guy who has ties with the devil, i beat them up, i protect the world'
You got it right before I even reach ch10 I know someone is going to appear and have ties with the devil
But how will he be childish if he's been in hell for 80 years? He's not gonna have the innocence of a normal middle schooler.
i havent read the manga since a year ago so im not sure how it developed but when i wrote this, i meant childish in the sense that he lacked social interaction; just an example of a unique characteristic ^^
the demeanor and steadfast morals of the mc make this manga unique and funny LOL
however, some people are accusing this manga of plagiarism; that would be unfortunate but i would suggest at least mentioning what manga its supposed to be plagiarizing?
of course, it could turn out that this manga WAS plagiarized-- im not defending this manga saying it wasnt
edit -----------
the anime its 'plagarizing': mushoku tensei (art similarities found in ch1)
research:
Blue Line Studio claims they did not use AI to generate the images but instead to help with minor details; they removed all panels created with the help of AI and pledged to not use it again
-----------
personal opinion:
as a reader, im not someone who cares about creators using AI as a tool to help with their art-- since im just interested in the story.
however i definitely do understand how it can be frustrating for other creators who genuinely put in the time and effort to create their mangas and also for readers who buy merch/want to support their writers (without knowing they 'cheated' using AI)
the plot is pretty good!! theres also no love interest if that bothers people. the girl in mc's party is a good person and isnt helpless
i feel like the ratings for this manga are only low because of chapters 4-8. there are duplicate chapters for those, one of which is translated poorly and the other is translated great. after those though, all the translations are good
topics are back and i can finally talk about how much i like this manga :}
its a really fresh concept imo, and the plot development so far is going great
about the comments:
1) the girls in this manga are in no way, shape, or form romantic interests, why so pressed LMAOO and theyre not useless either; not surprised the commenter has some *criticism* about this though since they shit talk every manga LOLL
2) realism? like.. its a manga about someone who transmigrated? that forsure already isnt realistic LOL also, when was mc not "showing any feelings at all"? if you read the 2nd chapter before going straight to the comments, youd know he wasnt really a farmer LMFAO and he did show emotions like fear before attempting to adjust to reality
like everyone else is saying, i felt like this was so rushed ┗( T﹏T )┛
the romance development felt forced but ignoring that, the plot was decent.
the backstory for libertia and alisha's past was interesting but im so confused about one loose end?? i believe it was before the fight with the uncle (which was really rushed), where someone told mc that there was a way for both her and libertia to co-exist-- if mc could get help from "the half-spirit" (daniel). did i misremember this? i thought it was going to be like he could help mc get a separate body to live in but if not.. the 'help' was having a child with him which would be libertia?? LOL?? TToTT
no because i thought exactly the same
i was like maybe he can do some magic thing and she can exist in her own body while libertia takes back her own
i just didn’t think it would be through their child lmaooo
if u think about it it’s a bit weird but happy ending ig
the manga was cancelled due to the author being arrested on sexual assault allegations.
i recognize that they are a bad person but imo, the story is good. the art is beautiful and the plot is well thought out. i feel sad that the story ends just like this. like another comment said, 'you can like the work but not the author' and i believe in that. i think that stories shouldnt be judged simply by who made them but by their plot and the emotions they evoke.
i see one of the comments saying how the author was arrested for molesting so they never read it. i understand your viewpoint but it is not as if this manga is written in a lecherous way-- there is no skimpy panty shots, no smut, no rape, no pedophilic tendencies like other mangas yet you all hate on the manga as if it did. im not saying that what the author did was right but the story itself shouldnt be judged off of what he did.
either way, its up to you to read or not. v(︶︿︶)v
Pluus technically we're not really supporting the author bc we're reading it in an illegal site and not buying the actual manga
so promising; no cheat skills and it doesnt look like there will be any but still she plays a huge/important role behind the scenes
