pluviophiliac's manga / #historical excellence(212)

lmaooo, this guy’s a menace. he’s obnoxious and annoying as hell—hilariously so, though. this is pretty good, ngl. it just keeps getting better the more i read, too!!! looking forward to the future. ;)

i’m quite enjoying this! loving the fighting scenes. some of these characters are so goddamn annoying and childish at times, though, but it is what it is. possibly more room for some proper character development, no? i really do appreciate naru as a MC as well. although, his ‘personal’ ambitions…? not so much. but, once again, it is what it is. i’m hoping he’ll have a change of heart at some point. or that he’ll at least find a purpose within HIMSELF other than his ‘princess’ or whatever. well, i suppose i could always change my mind… since, clearly, the story’s FAR from being over. hee-hee. edit: NEVER MIND ALL THAT. I LOVE THIS MANHWA. IT’S SO VIOLENT!!! i especially like the emperor’s character, omfg. what a perfect villain he is. i’m low-key obsessed with that… sadistic, fascinatingly delusional psycho of a man, oof. loving the sheer brutality of this. and the story’s super unpredictable in general, too!!! never know what to expect from these people. excellent character development, too. the complex and conniving nature of some of these powerful men are just… too-notch quality, my guy. man, it’s great. <33 and if that’s not all, OUR HOMEBOY’S AN ACTUAL. FUCKING. KILLING. MACHINE!!! just… whoa. that’s kinda epic, not gonna lie. big daddy energy fooo shooo that’s some true carnage right there, lol. #whatabloodfest

I. LIVE. FOR. THIS. SHIT. seriously, this ended up being waaaay better than initially i expected it’d be. i’ve thoroughly enjoyed this slow and gradual plot development! overall great pacing and character growth as well. i appreciate the fact that the general ‘atmosphere’ has turned a lot more political as of late (as in beyond chapter 100) than previous chapters. at first, it was mostly about our kickass MC’s conviction and development, as well as his journey to grow stronger and stronger. but now, one or two seasons later, it’s more about his life as the new heavenly demon and everything that entails. not just the decisions he’ll be making as said leader, but also what he’ll choose to with this paramount, almost godly power he’s earned for himself. will he truly embrace the life of an antihero, or will he strive to become a more righteous leader like his first master? i’m hoping for a nice balance between the two, but we’ll have to wait and see. either way, our main man’s finally earned the means to properly exact revenge on those who betrayed and killed BOTH his masters. i’m honestly LIVING for the violence, y’all. (i’m not a psychopath, i swear!) can’t wait to see where this ends up!

following the anime and holy FUCK it’s AMAZINGGGG.

i wholeheartedly STAN this woman, omfg. what a freakin’ queen.

available on webnovel!!!

lmaooo, this duuude. i forgot just how trashy this commander was, sheesh. (that’s why i stopped reading this the first time around, i suppose.) however!!! i kinda like our MC, though… don’t really know why yet. all i know is that i sympathize with him and all i want for this story is for him to end up happy. edit: maybe all the manhua i’ve been reading lately has desensitized me to emotional toxicity and unhealthy relationships, but this isn’t NEARLY as horrible as i originally thought i’d be. i hope said sentiment lasts! edit #2: ahhhh, shieeet. CAN THIS COMMANDER MOTHERFUCKER JUST STOP MAKING ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT EVERYTHING AND SIMPLY _ASK_ HIM ACTUAL QUESTIONS?!?! all this shit is so fucking unnecessary!!! ughhh. edit #3: whoaaa… this is pretty dark, lol. i’m finally fully caught up! can’t believe i’m actually saying this, but i’m definitely on team emperor now. (or commander, whichever title suits him best.) i love how yu isn’t taking any of his shit anymore. the character development has been gradual, but realistic given the circumstances! i really do appreciate that fact. and the art has really improved as well! heh. i’ll be looking forward to reading more of this! edit #4: honestly, at this point, i’m just astounded by the fact that our ML has managed to completely win me over. this is really… quite fascinating, if i’m allowed to give it to you straight. i’m loving the direction this story is heading towards! it’s gotten to a point where i actually await and anticipate new chapters. yay!!! #5: it’s been, like, almost a year since i last made a comment about this, but now that the story’s been completed, i feel it’s time. honestly, i HAVE been enjoying myself. not as much as i could’ve, given the fact that the quality of the translations started to seriously deteriorate riiiight about after i made my last comment… so there’s that. i don’t really know what else there is for me to say. if i weren’t already invested in the story and its characters, i never would’ve finished it with how poor the execution of the translation has been for a good while now. hmmm. oh well, lol. it is what it is! i’ll probably reread the last 50-60 chapters if there’s ever an opportunity for me to read said chapters ‘properly’, if you will. that’d be nice! and things would probably make a lot more sense for me then as well. :)

i can just TELL that this is going to be incredible. ughhh.
