Agathe's manga / #strong male lead(9)

10 - good start, pretty dark background, nice MC with good personality, not op Don’t be misled by the title, there’s no making fun so far

49 - good blade story, not too dark so far, great cast

73 - 4.5 nice characters with great relationships, Contrary to what the inteo suggested there’s no extreme hierarchy between the MC team, genders are mostly on par, female are strong, not winy It’s a pleasant read, with a good pace and plenty plot to entertain It still linear and predictable but it’s well done

44 - 4 - bad and misguiding title, as the supplement eating thing doesn’t seem as important as the world of immortals and monsters sharing the same Earth as our human awaken Our MC is a mere mortal who awakens an irregular power - as he would be erased if it was know, his metabolism peculiarity (absorbing nutrients and molecules from food, supplements, drugs, plants, you name it), luckily let him appear as a rare and needed « tree constitution » Now these two random cards which makes him unique(his absorption power and his irregular physique), will seldom be shown, as he will grow other powers, trying both to hide himself and get stronger, to be free from implacable, selfish and unfair rules, of the immortals There’s a strong political statements about the world’s hidden rules, the abuses of the powerful and our MC has many characteristics of a people hero… it’s not about facing monsters, and being the strongest, it’s about (re)-establishing fairness and care for the people. He is also the kind of person who does the right thing when he can, with no hesitation or second purpose - not because of the much in fashion greed, that fills too many pages - how refreshing. It’s nearly as interesting to see that it doesn’t make him look like a pushover, as it is to read the cynical observation of a world who literally punishes him, when he saves innocents from a monster - because it did upset some god. Government, that protects the powerful instead of the people they are supposed to represent, are part of the background - making the world strangely relatable The MC seems pretty balanced, he has to be truly smart to grow safely and it’s still a mystery to know how much he’ll be able to do to protect humanity from the powerful abuses… There’s plenty to entertain, there are lots of not much know foreign mythological characters, contributing to a rich and colorful universe, which is truly a refreshing change (one can get tired of the usual dragons , phoenixes etc, +greek +nordic pantheon simple variations) Many thanks for the translation of this excellent pick End of 2x or 3x After the MC goes into a mythical world, it feels like an entirely different story, full of dragons and creatures - i can’t say i find the same interests in finding treasures and fighting to become an immortal -cand get stronger once again

70 - 4+ world economic meets dungeon and it’s pretty good Note : you have wait for nearly 20c (17?) to see a dungeon, this can get long I was disappointed the author chose to skip the character’s childhood altogether, but as soon as the story added action to trading part, the pace picked up From the financial asian crisis of 98 to the day the dungeons opens 20 years later the MC build a financial empire retracing the economy from 98 to 2009. Despite apart of fiction, it’s a rather deep plunge into the exploration of world current crisis Ok returner plus banking, is not all new, what’s interesting though, is that it’s not another lucky guy riding knowledge of the past and surfing the privileges of risk free investments, but it has the ambition of making the MC completely take other the world of finance in order to prevent the world collapse when dungeons appears. The first season give about 50 chapters out of 64 of that economic warfare with small dip into trading theories and historical explanations /interpretation, all mixed with fiction of the MC interferences It’s smart, entertaining and different. I don’t have an economic background, but i feel like i learned a few things, nonetheless i am not sure someone with more knowledge would find it interesting or accurate. The dungeon + system (evil version ?) is the small part so far, but also have a bigger plot The goal of the MC are nobles, while his means are not , they are set to prevent economic collapse, nuclear bombing, awakeners going astray and becoming a threat to the world, and to do that, he seek absolute control and domination. In requires absolute obedience in some places and has qui a few solo player + know it all flaws. Unsurprisingly, He carries a god nickname and recruit powerful beings to rule the world after But sadly, you can’t escape the unequal terms of his relationships; his collaborators will either die or bend : they’ll end up calling him « master « and are scared of him when they are not trembling in awe (sight :how boring ?) Lastly the author smartly made a reason for the character to reset his power in hope to achieve greater abilities and have a chance against the ultimate monsters For the reader , it’s plenty good as you don’t have to endure an absolute OP character with no challenges in front of him There is a plot, an overall good pace, a wide variety of characters (no one too pleasant though) and appart from the king of the world complex, it’s rather good Over comment : RE MASTER VERSION OF "Reincarnator" EDIT - I REMEMBER THE PREVIOUS VERSIONS FIRST SEASON (ALL 29 CHAPS) were all about economic class lol ...it gave all of us such headache trying to comprehend those stuffs & there were no action at all .. it was so bad hopefully they do it better this this with re mastered version edit -2 i am not into this even after 37 chaps not into this economy shit (I loved the reincarnator thing meh …

36 - good Unpleasant MC, but with strong ethics, team play and respectable values Not much silly stupid gimmick to get him rid of the blasphemous « hero »/« good guy «  jacket, apart from his very stupid « i will eat/devour it all «  sentence I appreciate that the fighting episode are well thought and feel tactically interesting In too many titles fighting is lengthy, with useless talk, special effects and predictable winner, no matter how « hard » (lengthy) it is - but here, there are not necessary pages to skip So far it still has strong soloish vibes, but the mindset has already opened to cooperation with cherished teammates (might go wrong as it’s very solo centered) I like the start point where humans were not defeated by monsters but by the greediness of a handful of villains I also like the many statements about the aberration of a system who recognize people value and the value of their life based on ratings Comments on novel uptade are part good, pzrt disapointed du to the lack of planning and the one man against the world issues

1 - great first chapter Now i want more

200 big 4+ A scribe, inspired by art’ philosophy an laws, encounters a saint of the murim (an independent warrior seeking perfection on his own) Determined to fight to death the 3 most reputed warriors of his time, he wants the scribe to write down his story and leave a trace Hence starts the story of the MC, who will learn the flow of the sword from the saint, inherit a sacred weapon, and wield a sword to protect The scholar, will a a teacher, attached to peace and principles , a very unusual murim who never kills, but blows true evil away, and heal the flow when needed Contrary to some comment, there are lots of female admirers, but no harem as he’ a man of one heart There’s a goo bit of humor, a big pinch of politics in the background (growing) , a big bunch of nice characters and a good pace The philosophical part of the story is omnipresent but not overwhelming or boring, it’s light, but it’s there, in some contemplative pages, quotes, or simply because the MC is very righteous I found the story to be refreshing, it’s a murim story from the point of view of a pacifist and a teacher I found the red demon arc (19x?) to be disappointingly redundant (thankfully it’s short), and it made me feel the MC was becoming somewhat of a stereotype with no volume. I hope the author won’t get lost by making his characters too distant and inhuman, as he could easily be lost in a lack of depth conceptual box It could also bring more informations about the unorthodox (not demon), for unknowning readers It’s mostly entertaining, but i understand one might criticize the proportions of (blushing) female that is a bit too much -

77 Took many principles from many stories and nicely bundled it The MC is an author, he knows the story and the world, yet not all of it Add to this the notion of plot holes needing additional information and sometimes corrections, if not the world might collapse The M C does have small access to change the possibility Ies, but some powerful characters have influence too The MC can sometimes have access to a book with limited input he has to choose wisely, but his own choices, actions, and interactions can also impact the world As often as, because he already has many OP characteristics, his persona , on the contrary is unfavored and weak. To turn the tables, save himself and protect what matters to him, he needs to grow and navigate the story, some of which he knows, but lots of it he slowly uncovers From player to pawn , his identity changes along the encounters He needs to change the future without breaking the world, and preferably while correcting it to ensure it’s stability There’s a bit too much fighting, growing strength for my liking But i enjoy a MC who loves the world, his characters and care enough to wish them well. He has both self serving and altruistic traits (growing as he gets involved) He doesn’t feel too strong, although he might become too overwhelming in the long run So far it feels witty with lots of puzzles elements, more than « a distinct plot » It’s a very nice read
