It really infuriates me how stupid he was at the end of the main story. Why the heck would you meet up with someone you knew who has harmed you? At least bring your manager or fucking anyone with you. Even the drama with his cousin was stupid. I can understand why his cousin would hate him so why would you want to follow him? Hasn't he learned anything? Because of his curse he was molested, stalked, harmed by cookies and more and you still want to be near people who seemed to hate you?
He is fucking stupid!
The story overall was alright but too long. Everything could have ended with less than 40+ chapters. And Yeon's character and inaction didn't make the story better but worst for me.
I know I shouldn't only concentrate on this one fault that I have with the manga (well except for the fact that this manga only has 16 FUCKING chapters!!! It's too short!!!). I don't know why but I really really REALLY didn't like the introduction of the snake guy from the same team as the MC. He just seem like an asshole (maybe he is) and I don't like assholes. It's normal for sports manga to have these kind of rivalry at the beginning of the story. It's there either to make the MC stand out or to introduce the members of the team or to present the future comradeship of the MC and the rival/asshole however you may call it (like Haikyuu with Hinata and Kageyama). But I really didn't like this one. Something about him I really didn't like at the beginning. Maybe because he destroyed a window, maybe because the wanted to black-mail the MC (fortunately the MC is intelligent and shameless enough), maybe because I didn't like his inner monologue with a snake (which was obviously used to differentiate him with his former asshole self because we know we can't hate the future-comrade of the MC ) or his creepy smile. Which by the way I have to ask: what's with the creepy smiles? Why do every rival, the MC of every sports manga has to face, have to have a creepy smile whenever they are introduced to the story? Why?
We know we are going to have at least some sympathy towards them the moment they are going to lose against the protagonist of a sports manga. It happens every time. Often times they are only in high-school why do the mangaka feel the need to make them creepy or seem like an asshole (which they often are but I just don't like my first impression of these kids to be so).
Well this is just a rant. I've seen this so often but this one kind of made me explode and it irritates me.
This story really wears me out. I thought it would has a somewhat logical story-line but nope. The beginning of the story was good and I thought more face-slapping would happen while the MC learns of this family history and gets to revenge his father and mother. But then his grandfather suddenly dies and he and his aunt leave with his aunt's lover (his foster father), and I was like... okay.. I don't know where this is going but I kind of like it, please don't mess it up. Now his foster father is dead and he learns that there are more people with a spirit like his (which is logical so I'm not complaining). But the world is getting bigger and bigger (I know, world-building and shit), which is good but... I don't know....
It feels like the author just tries to make the world bigger to create more conflict for the MC and make him stronger (which happens all the time in these martial arts manga/manhua/manhwa) but it just gets ridiculous, repetitive, predictable and boring. The villains are one-dimensional like always in these stories but they keep coming and coming and coming and coming and... you get it. I'm so tired...
One thing which irritated me the most is the harem theme in these martial arts manhwa/manhua/manga. The genre was not displayed and I thought this story didn't have any romance in it. But then I saw how he first gets together with the lady in purple, which I didn't mind, but she was suddenly forgotten (he left her with a promise and still hasn't come back), then he got together with the red lady and now maybe there are some more women who wants to throw themselves at him (or ''use him'')?
Why are women portrayed like that? Useless, replaceable damsel in distress? If they don't end up falling in love with the MC then they want to kill him (except for the aunt, but what can she do?). You have to be a guy to remain kind of relevant.
I know I'm rambling but you find these problem too often for my liking. Sure, these are just my preferences and other people have different tastes.
I tried reading this to the end (ch. 202) but couldn't and skipped many chapters to see where the story is heading.
Overall the beginning was good up until the MC banged the red chick and his foster father died. After that everything went downhill for me. The MC is likeable but it isn't enough for me and doesn't make the story enjoyable to read. Every fucking women wants to bang him, those whose who don't or try but fail, want to kill him. Everyone but the MC is useless, those who aren't get killed off anyway to not steal the MC's limelight.
Just fucking kill him. If you can't trust him now, do you think you can trust him later? Especially then you see how he will use anyone and anything to get his way.
Yeah I'm pretty sure his shadow guards could effectively integrate into the crowd and take out anyone who is acting suspicious when that hour is up. Casualties being pissible of course.
