Dungeon Seeker

Complete | Sakamoto 666,Mizukiyoshi Juro | 2000 released

Got through a bit more than half so thought I'd leave a review. It seems promising but then they start introducing people stronger than mc which is a no-no for power fantasies, and it tries to get all deep in the ending.

How to Live as a Villain

Ongoing | gam sakeu,lee masik | 2019 released

Thanks, I hate it. I feel like shit reading this but I can't stop, is this what people who enjoy tragedy are like? Similarly to FFF class trash hero, reading this with morals is as painful as it gets. I feel guilty on behalf of this evil fucker. The first while was fine because it was mostly no name strangers that were paying the price for him but we meet so many nice people and they all end up dead for the sake of MC's ambitions. EDIT: Dropped because MC isn't really OP just smart and underhanded enough to make it. It's still a good story though just not my cup of tea. If you like something more tactic/scheming heavy you'll probably enjoy it.

Leveling With The Gods

Ongoing | black ajin | 2019 released

'Nother op mc. Nothing new but I like it.

The World After The Fall

Ongoing | S-Cynaan,Sing-Shong,싱숑,Undead Potato,언데드 감자, | 2022 released

I feel obligated to give it 5 stars since it's the same author as ORV. Kim Dokja cameo was too cute (even though he's literally just sitting there bruh I'm whipped). I think it's supposed to be some sort of multiverse thing which honestly I'm not a big fan of, I also don't want any romance in this so the woman we got a flashback of is a massive red flag. The whole thing became super complicated very quickly which I expected eventually from Sing-Song but the rate at which it's happening concerns me in regards to what kind of rocket science will be required to comprehend the ending. I'm stupid ok? I like my shit simple: hot man hits things hard and people go "wow so cool". Also found it lowkey hilarious that regression stones are a thing that exists here and anybody can use them for the YJH parallels. It feels like the story started at the end so that's why this review is so weird, I have no clue wtf they're going for here.

Is This Hero For Real?

Ongoing | Farnar | 2000 released

You can see the similarities between this and the author's other work, FFF class trash hero. I think I like this one a little more though. Unlike most cases I appreciate the switch in perspectives every once in a while, it helps keep things fresh. We get to see what it's like in this world for people with different circumstances.

I Obtained A Mythic Item

Ongoing | Jung Seonyul (정선율),Hess (헤스) | 2000 released

Usually you only get to pick one, but this time we have both OP ability/item and return to the past. Not huge on the other characters here, it's mostly 2 annoying girls one of which is your typical boob pocket wearing mary sue. Mc's looks and personality are pretty good, and the skills he gets are interesting. He can copy abilities while disabling any penalty and cancel magic, although he doesn't make full use of either yet. His martial arts experience sounds like it could be useful in developing a different fighting style than just standing there and casting different coloured magic projectiles. EDIT: Lowkey a harem. It's unfortunate for a good series to get ruined like this, but yeah it's what you'd expect. You know MC would be better off alone but he still carries the chicks and they get way more credit than they deserve for doing the bare minimum.

Player Who Returned 10,000 Years Later

Ongoing | | 2019 released

Cute demon boy makes me wet: on to the next review. For real though, I like stories where the MC comes back from somewhere all OP and causes havoc, this is pretty much that. Comedy is above average too. After 10,000 years surrounded by demons anyone would gain a wonky moral compass. So MC makes some questionable albeit funny decisions. We're not actually told what all of his powers are which keeps you guessing. Not exactly plot heavy but what's there works well enough and the gate/combat stuff is just not generic enough for MC to do the heavy lifting in keeping your attention.

I Became the Tyrant of a Defense Game

Ongoing | ryueun garam (류은가람),gyong (굥) | 2019 released

forgot to rate. Some novel ideas in there and a bit different than usual. Guy is a commander with no particular power of his own but strategy is good. Has a cute knight I ship.

Poison-Eating Healer

Ongoing | | 2019 released

Fairly good all around with a unique premise. MC is servicable, don't like the side characters. The action is fairly bland since he's only got like 1 skill he spams, but the enemies are unique and his weapon does lots of morphing ass pulls to add a bit of variety. He's actually not very strong compared to every other hunter he encounters. Still has an ego, though it just looks stupid when you know he'd get his ass kicked by the person he's mouthing off to.
