NixieKin's manga / #interesting(4)

Was very good, pretty typical for a sicked into another world theme. New elements like the cancer, meditation and ki all speak to the creativity of the author. But it appears to have been dropped by the author after the first season so definitely leaves feeling unfinished.

4/5️ Chp 148, Sep2022 I give this 4️ because there is a lot of backstories on a lot of companies and it would be a headache to remember it all even if the translation was perfect (it is pretty good, not perfect). Rich, self made, brilliant ML is betrayed and lost everything, kidnapped and experimented on. His talent is removed and saved to a 'chip' and he is equipped with a device that lets other chips be inserted into him, giving him other people's talents. Through his own abilities (other than the removed talent) and recognizing opportunities he turns things around and starts to plot his revenge. There is one FL character, she is great, but other than her it is pretty sausage fest tbh. However the story is original and interesting and worth the read.

Moved from updated 5️, Ch 175, Jan 2023 Really, really good. First part is present, second part is prequel. Just what the summary says, man comes back after dieing, even after 175 chps I am not sure why. This book does kill people so be aware, but that adds to the suspense because you can never be sure when the author will kill a character. And boy ... the suspense is palpable. Had to walk away a couple times because it was just a lot! ML is very loveable and the side cast are all.amazing with tons of varied and realistic trauma to fill my baser needs. Definitely worth reading! Part of the SuperString universe: Revival Man, Terror Man, Terror vs Revival, Neolithic Girl, Westwood Vibrato, Distant Sky, Jungle Juice

Moved from updated 5️ Ch 153 Jan 12, 2023 Sooooo F-ing Good The translation is horrible, but power through my friends because this is a story worth reading. The story begins in a mental hospital in a world where monsters attack humans. The ML is always trying to hurt himself to train and grow stronger, his roommate at the hospital is willing to help. Can the 2 of them get strong enough to save the world? Or are they just crazy. Very funny, but you have to let go of your sensitivities to enjoy it. Author isn't intentionally cruel to mental health issues but doesn't shy away from words like crazy and insane either.
