8.5 the sizzling chemistry between them IS OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!! Sooooo hawwwwwwt. The angst, the yearning, the affection…. Ugh feels. The art is also absolutely gorgeous!!! The coloring is so chefs kiss!

7 I really didn’t like the ending— it was plain telling rather than showing and supeeeeer rushed. Also the side characters (especially the evil ones) lacked depth (they were so one-dimensional and cartoonish evil). That said, I loved the first chapters! Wish the plot would have taken a different turn. All and all it was still a good read

9 The leveling up is a bit too fast paced imo. I’d prefer a slower leveling up like Debut or Die So far the “reflective” one liners are kinda corny/overused “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” “If you look at the abyss for too long the abyss will look back at you” etc. It feels kinda gimmicky and cliche Also so far the plot progression is very linear and predictable. That said, it’s still quite enjoyable to read since seeing an underdog getting stronger through a shown progression manner is always incredibly satisfying! AND THE FIGHT SCENES ARE FUCKING EPIC️️️ truly phenomenal. Reading them is such an experience The fight scenes are absolutely phenomenal. So fucking thrilling to read! The harem coding annoys me tho It just keeps getting better and better The ending was a bit lame

8 (potential 8.5) Usually I don’t mind shounen ai but this one I really wish was yaoi the spicy scenes are SO SPICY that I feel edged when they just stop showing us at the highest tension peak. Nonetheless it’s really good (huh BDSM sex scene with a dragon

9 THIS IS SO GOOD. Guideverse, bl, smut AND zombies? Couldn’t get any better. I really really love this one, despite the “delicate, child-look-alike” bottom (which is not usually my cup of tea). It’s actually quite green flag-y and I’m really into the zombie plot!! I’m so sad I’m so early in the webtoon (only 26 chaps out)

8.5 Hmm there’s a lot of things I loved about this manhwa. But it’s a tad bit overrated tbh. First of all, at times I got annoyed by the romance subplot but it was also okay— kinda mixed feelings. What truly bothered me though was how Arthur had to constantly save Tess (like 5 times!?! Wth). It was giving too much damsel in distress (which I HATE), despite Tess supposedly being depicted as a really strong character. (Note a few chapters later: I’m glad this was explicitly brought up. Hopefully it won’t be this way going forward). And the training arc was a bit monotonous and boring. Ig the action in this webtoon is just overall more slow paced than most shounen But all and all it was plenty of fun! The art is absolutely gorgeous beyond s1. It was quite funny and interesting lore. I also quite liked the cultivation magical lore. It was explained to such a detailed extent and so interesting. The analogies drawn and the pace also felt very appropriate. Though ig I’m spoiled with super intense faster paced shounen, I found it refreshing in a sense and it felt more realistic. And I’ve seen many comments saying the best of tbate is still yet to be adapted, and that it gets muchhhh better. That said, I still enjoyed it plenty so far. I just crazy af expectations since it was always mentioned together with ORV and SL. Also, I’m disappointed with the art style change of s3. It feels like such a downgrade *sigh*

It kinda feels like a cheap replica of ORV x SL tbh.

10 The bro-con is strong on this one! I LOVE IT SO SO MUCH. It’s so funny lol. And it’s so gay and omegaverse-coded. 10/10 I LOVE THIS ONE SO SO SO MUCH. The emotional depth. The caretaker themes are really pulling at my heart strings
