apopoi's manga / #Cultivation(3)

I really like this. I like the MC and his two brothers. The second not so much but I digress. I never knew I would see a doting father like big brother.... Love to see it. Also I was worried for a second that it might turn into a harem of some sort but thankfully we didn't take that route. The girls are barely there in the story but better that than an annoying fl who is a liability to the main cast since that's the only trop shounen action mangakas can write. I like the MC's dynamic with I forgot his name... Sword Saint Disciple. He's so pure and sweet, it's a shame that it seems he will be in the background going forward since it's obvious that he's falling behind The second brother being a simp I did not foresee at all. Also the minor 17 year old proposing marriage scared me but the MC considers her a minor younger than his sister. But I hate that he blushes and seems to ve somewhat hesitating. I love the dynamic between his Master and him... They are so alike it's crazy... They shout and aren't honest with their feelings, brash etc etc. I like how he's so attentive and so braggy about his disciple's accomplishments. Also I fell for the misdirect regarding the Sword Saint tho I felt that it was a bit much when he told his disciple that he wasn't his friend.

So far it's okay. It doesn't reel me in and make me glued to the screen. Nothing major. The MC isn't unlikable but he isn't the most enjoyable either. He's stubborn, bull headed and doesn't think things through. It's like looking at a third rate villain. The thing is he is perceived as being smart because the other characters are so damn stoopid that it's verging on the realm of absurdity. Forget the misunderstood trope, I actually like that, this is just plain creativity on their parts. I don't get this. About his third concubine, I hope we don't meet her.. So far we haven't met female characters except for the one shot assassins and prostitutes. And I would like to keep it that way please. The other first disciple... Man he's so fineeeee. Like what? That slutty hairstyle with that strand and his beauty mark.. The earrings, the attire... Him.. Ugh he's phenomenal. What a waste of character design. Pretty privilege is so real.. He's so stupid and sooo goddamn slow but he's so pretttyyyy

This is such a pleasant read. I like the bond between the MC and Tang Bo. I did not expect him to have a friend but I like that he is looking after his friend's descendents. The plum blossom flowers are as pretty as ever. The 2nd disciple brother character's development is one for the books. The senior brothers are also a hoot... I'm not so sure of the girl tho. She is very much in the background now, I thought she would play a more important role. The elders of the sect aren't as insightful as I would like them to be, when they kept talking about punishments I almost lost it. The account guy is fun tho. The Emei merchant sect is the sugar daddy of my dreams.. I want them! The beggars are as nasty as ever.. The armpits, the crotch, like ewww why would u offer your hands to shake right after you rub your armpit or put things in your crotch. And it's not like they don't have the money for it. The MC's personality is a pet peeve of mine but I can put that aside for the plot and his ambition. I hope we get more flashbacks, I really like this arc.
