pluviophiliac's manga / #historical excellence(212)

ohhh!! initially, this kinda reminds me of ‘the undefeated swordsman’ just form looking at the prologue. i’m so hyped for this!!! edit: …i take it back. it’s nothing like ‘the undefeated swordsman’, sheesh. it’s great nonetheless! ughhh, poor guy. edit #2: yo, this is SO. FUCKING. GOOD. i love this, truly! it’s so creative and engaging. i’m only 33 chapters in and i’m already completely hooked, lol. i’m definitely getting ‘the undefeated swordsman’ and ‘tale of a scribe who retires to the countryside’ vibes from this now. it’s soooo fucking good, y’all. i love this MC. he’s such a precious lil’ bean. we must protect him at all costs!!! not that he needs it, but still. he deserves the world. edit #3: HAHAHAHAHAH, this father and son shit is fucking hysterical. genius writing!!! i’m dying over here, lmfaoooo.

man, this is epic. remind me again why i put this off for so long??? fuck’s sake, smh. probably one of the best martial arts comics i’ve come across. EVER. goddammit, i’ve grown attached… ahhhh, i’m so excited to continue!!! this guy’s seriously OP, too! like, massively so. ‘the scholar’s reincarnation’, it says… should be ‘the martial god’s reincarnation’ or something ‘cause HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT. i’m so in love! i know i’ve said this plenty of times before, but this MUST be the most wholesome, power-trippy martial arts manhwa i’ve read as of yet! (…which honestly says a whole damn lot.) this MC of ours is next level excellence, i kid you the fuck not. such an an admirable character. he might actually be a favorite in that regard as well! this guy’s so freakin’ misunderstood, yet he always remains true to himself and his ‘mentality’, if you will. he always make sure to elevate not just himself, but everyone close to him as well. i’m literally crushing on a fictional character now, fml. either way, this is 100% a new favorite! no question-mark in sight, that’s for sure. and i’m quiiite annoyed with myself for ‘shelfing’ this for so goddamn long, it’s honestly kinda ridiculous. i never learn, do i? sheesh… junwoo’s just the best. i adore him and his close ones. if perfection was a person, i expect he’d be the one closest to it. in my eyes, if nothing else. it’s been awhile since i fangirled this hard, lololol. #obsessed <33

can’t wait to start reading this one, it looks amazing. i just need more chapters before i binge!!! edit: i started reading it anyway, heh. (it’s available for free on webtoon, by the way!!!) this is pretty damn great, to be honest. i love where this is going. and i ADORE this errand boy slash mad demon of ours! his personality is kinda epic, lol. this is so amusing. i’m excited to continue!!! edit #2: this guy is soooo much fun!!! i know literally said that up ^ there a short while ago, but duuuude, this guy is HYSTERICALLY funny, crazy witty and soooo fucking savage, lol. i definitely appreciate the fact that he’s neither good nor bad… well, based on moral standards of the murim word, that is. he’s just doing what he thinks is right. i love to see it!!! what a king, gaaawd. edit #3: i’m fully caught up now and OHMYFUCKINGGOOOOD, HAHAHAHAHAH!! what a boss, seriously. i can’t deal. he’s so funny.

‘sup, fellow comic nerds. i won’t make this too long right now, but for what my ever-so-humble opinion might be worth, i personally think that the manhwa’s getting better and better by the minute. i’m now fully caught up, and i just say that i’m feeling unexpectedly pumped up at this point, lol! i didn’t really like this one at first, i’m got gonna lie, but it really did grow on me. i honestly never thought it would. i’m glad that i decided to stick it out, though! personally, i’m loving all these new developments! low-key excited for the future of this, too. <3

dude, this is SO. FUCKING. GOOD. i’m loving the political aspects of this manhwa! it’s a nice change of pace. and i loooove the sheer cunningness of this man… god, he’s so hot. and intelligent. and powerful. i’m ridiculously excited for the future of this!!! can’t wait for him to finally go god-mode and make everyone realize just how ridiculously strong he actually is. they literally have zeeerooo clueeee as to what his true abilities are, it’s crazy. (i’m legit quivering just by thinking about what the real showdowns will look like once they inevitably occur, lololol.) amazing buildup!

just finished watching the anime (for the second time) + the actual show just recently and OH MY GOD I FUCKING ADORE WUXIAN TO DEATH HELPPPP. lan zhan isn’t that far behind either, omfg. i just love them sm. edit: overall conclusion of the manhua: absolutely LOVE this story. i’m a huge fan of the anime and c-drama (as i’ve already said), so i suppose i’m kinda biased, haha. didn’t actually like the manhua as much as i would’ve liked. i think it could’ve been executed better. but alas, as i’m a fan, i can’t be deterred!!!

this looks promising!!! i’ll wait for more updates before i start reading this one.

<333 looks great. just need to wait for more chapters before i start! i genuinely hope there’ll be a mass release at some point later on, but it seems a bit unlikely. oh well. edit: haha, it’s quite different from my expectations! i’m definitely not complaining, though. i thought there’d be somewhat more solemn and serious ’vibes’ for whatever reasons, but homeboy’s characteristics really bring some humor and spice into the mix, lol. it’s great! i do love colorful characters who leave lasting impressions. i’m also pleasantly surprised by the length of these chapters! since there are only 40 available as of right now, i thought i’d breeze my way through them in two hours or something. (i’m a relatively fast reader.) but, considering my reasoning as to why i haven’t binged this earlier, i must say that this is a clear bonus. i’m only 15 chapters in right now and it feels as though i’ve already made it quite far—which, in reality, i obviously haven’t. thus, this is a great news!!! heh, i’m exited. i’ll be able to continue this in the morning (and possibly afternoon) as well. i’m so tired right now, sheesh. edit #2: oh, come on!!! it’s just plain cruelty to leave us with a cliffhanger like that… ;–;

ughhh. another binge-worthy, semi-comedic, power-trippy, visually gorgeous historical martial arts masterpiece in the making! it’s freakin’ EPIC, y’all. and this pure, anticipating, slowly-burning romance between these two…!!! ugh, i can’t. too sweet, too much wholesomeness… and awesomeness, too, i guess. but if that’s not all, we also have a ridiculously strong and intelligent female lead, a scary-looking but adorably awkward brute-like puppy of a male lead, as well as a generally healthy dose of martial arts, blood and violence to balance things out just right! i couldn’t have lucked out more with this one, you guys. it’s perfect. <33 (P.S. having literally just finished chapter 70, i’d honestly want nothing more than to curl into the deepest and loneliest part of myself and sob from the sheer BLISS of this gorgeous, gorgeous art! just excellent writing and artistry all around. i honestly can’t cope no more, i just can’t. #blessed) i don’t really have the energy to write anything else right now, though… just know that it’s freakin’ BANGIN’ and that i’ll be reading this very excitedly… and impatiently, heh. i suppose that’s a given!
