so... a korean gangster... is being saved by a christian angel... but he's probably no christian AT ALL considering he probably has no idea who satan is and confused it with candy(satang). He's got a new lease on life and now he's gonna play the blame game?
I know this story is probably a guilty pleasure isekai read, but it's also lowkey dumb imo.
Korean comics tend to be like that lmao
You got some really top tier shit like solo leveling on one side and... This on the other
honestly solo leveling is kinda getting boring for me. I know SOOOO many people who give it bias because they also read the novel, but it lacks a bit of worthwhile drama. When the main character enters a fight, I already know the outcome... and usually in those instances, aside from twisting the fight and making the character lose, maybe the win comes with a great cost, like losing an eye.... a limb? someone they love dies.. etc etc.. but solo leveling hasn't really added anything to detriment the character at all...
Ye I can understand why you wouldn't enjoy something like that, but it's personally really fun to me when the MC is a literal god lmao
It's kind of just pure hype story
considering all the male beauty gurus in the world atm, the "seme" doesn't scream seme, he kinda gives me a "seke" impression. (especially if he's just gonna lunge at random people.) Plot's pretty cliche with the whole "amateur gets taken under reknown and experienced older model" but I did find the self confidence spiel interesting.
i was looking for something new... picked this up and all I have to say is that this story is a love child between the unthinkable...
OnePunMan and Harry Potter... honestly its so harry potter from what I read that i'm surprised it didnt pull a bunch more cliches like Draco's "You'll hear from my FATHER!" quote. (unless i just haven't gotten there yet)
I would say rather than harry potter it's more like black clover, 'cause the main character don't have power and use their muscle power (but ofc mashel is an op chara and astha is more like slowly became op chara and more relay on the anti magic power and less muscle/stamina)
physically, sure he's the same as asta, but characterwise, he's more of a saitama with the looks of Mob (from mob psycho 100)
Yes, but i never say opm shouldn't be compare to this, i was saying that the Harry Potter part wasn't exactly a good comparison and the Harry Potter part should be black clover.
well I was more referring to the world around him, not so much as the character. If I were to say which universe, BC or HP, it's more HP imo.
Is this a real thing that happens in Japan or is this just a fantasy world for this mangaka? Cus, my immediate impression is that fujoshis have begun to rule to world and the male reaction to fujoshi culture is to play into it... It's legitimately softcore gay for pay.
its def just for the manga lol
I mean... I definitely see korean pop stars get shipped ALOT. I can probably see korean guys doing this if this isn't a thing.
Twitter have roleplay and back then we have the infamous ulzzang acc where people are famous just for being hot/cute and isnt there a yt gay "couples" So this isn't far-fetched. Loveteams are famous be it straight or gay as long as they're cute/handsome and have "chemistry"
It happens! It’s not that well known outside the *cough* targeted audience *cough* but it exists. The most prominent ones I see are on Youtube which has both real couples and fake couples. Omusubi is one of the fake Japanese couple, but they cuteee
There’s also amature idol groups who goes BL related content (like King’s game or Pocky game) while also selling their merch and etc.
Also the japanese really likes doing like weird pranks like “what happens if your male friend pushes you down for real”. Some ppl don’t like fake couples, but real couples are also cute.
They have BL cafés in Japan where people will basically come in and pay for the workers to do scenes.
I don't understand the world of publishing for yaoi but I can assume the mangakas are restricted by a certain number of chapters. It's not like the webtoons that are available nowadays where the creator can go on as long as they want and make a serialized work.
Honestly wouldn't have minded more. My impression is that the story was pretty raunchy and as it stands, full of cliches, but I think if there were more chapters, there's be more affairs than just a wholesome fluff with a man that's seemingly a playboy.
I think it's that they are restricted by volumes, like a volume often contains 5-7 chapters so maybe it's out of the ordinary to make one volume with 10 chapters but they also don't want to make two volumes because they don't know if their first one will sell so they just rush everything
this isekai is one of the more thoughtful stories out there and more complex considering it's childlike storytelling.
I read the first chapters and after that I was already skimming cus the plot is confusing and uses typical chinese plot devices that westerners probably wont understand (like the slapstick between whoever is reincarnating him and the crappy foreign characters they introduced off the bat and the "woe is me" wife character that he has to tend to even with the main character's "woe is me" health).
Not to mention the translation doesn't do it many favors with so-so grammar. I would probably be stuck with ambiguous lines for 20 or 30 chapters before I understood how the plot would flow.
Dude so much stuff has happened within the first 11 chapters that I am reading I can’t keep up It’s like they’re jumping into situations one after another
reads latest chapter *squints eyes* .... looks up tags... *squints eyes*..
Hmmm... I think they missed smut *squints eyes*
Hahahaha. I hope so Lol
The next chapter will determine whether the tags will change or stay as usualლ(´ڡ`ლ)
ya know, sometimes I dont even mind a lightsaber cus sometimes the drawn version ruins the fantasy... especially if it the art style stands out.
light sbers trun me on ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
Just about half way through reading so I thought i'd give my opinion. Honestly it isn't unique with having a dour royal female lead, but compared to the version I have in mind, at least they didn't make it an issue and have the story be about how offensively prudish she looks. The story is pretty witty and I can probably thank the translation team for doing a good job, I know these kinds of works lose a bit of ambiance when the translation doesn't understand what is being said. I appreciate that the story isn't a full isekai and uses the sense of it via her dreams to create a sort of mystery.
oh and the art is pretty exquisite, not too often do I see a story where the cover art is the same throughout the story. Personally I would've liked it if they kept the same art style for the comedy relief instead of the chibi art. (having a stupefied face or a pouty face during silly moments with the same amazing art would've been better in my opinion, but I suppose the art is probably pretty taxing to maintain without some relief for the artist)
