Znakey's manga / #Cultivation(2)

Left off at ch 103, waiting for more updates. Pretty awesome story. The first chapter made me cringe a bit, but the protagonist grew on me like a fungus. I have read a lot of stories where the MC is “crazy”, but this is the first that might be clinically insane (anger issues, man can be a sweetie a moment and the next he is thirsty for blood, does and says a lot of senseless things, unpredictable). He is also hilarious, and despite the “I want a girlfriend” joke at the start, he never gets hung up about women. He even gave laxatives to a beautiful woman and called another one “old hag” lmao (also waved away a beauty, saying he knew she was not a prostitute). There are several supporting male characters that I really like, such as the foxy one with two moles and silver hair, and the handsome doctor with glasses (saved the MC’s life in the previous timeline, went crazy for a moment there too) The humor seemed weird at first but then I loved it. It’s such a deadpan delivery, or silly moments that make the characters feel more real. I also enjoy seeing enemies get beaten by the MC and join him! Then they all eat together or discuss issues and the dynamic shines.

Later on we get BL vibes lol From the novel, a review: This novel is a bit hard to describe in ways. It's primarily a martial arts, found family, and medical series, with the main character, Jin Cheonhee, being a middle-aged Korean doctor who transmigrates after his death into the body of a child from a martial arts novel he read. He ends up immediately finding himself in a situation where his medical skills are needed, and from there catches the eye of a famous doctor. As the story goes on he becomes involved in more events going on as he tries to change some tragic outcomes that were in the novel and help the patients he comes across. Jin Cheonhee is a very likable main character; he was an orphan in his previous life, and so wants to be able to have a family of his own in this one. As a result of this, he is very compassionate towards others and does his best to try to save everyone he can to the upmost of his abilities. For those of you who love found family, this is a good one to read. As it says in the summary, the original protagonist of the novel becomes his sworn brother and they end up having quite a good relationship. He and his master, the famous doctor previously mentioned, also end up having a close relationship that is wonderful to read. He ends up getting two more sworn brothers, one a boy he helped cure of syphilis and another whose sister he operated on. The three brothers don't necessarily get along all the time with each other, but they all adore Jin Cheonhee in their own ways. It can lead to some very funny and cute situations at times. As someone else mentioned, this novel may feel slow at parts in the earlier sections. For those of us who like things along the lines of slice of life, this isn't so bad. For others, fear not, it really does pick up massively after a certain point
