Is this Hunter for Real?

Ongoing | farnar (파르나르),seulilacha (스리라챠) | 2019 released

Very fun. Monster hunting stream goes wrong with the hunter running away and the cameraman takes over. The god thing from orv seems to be a trend with this author, but it's less irritating here.

Legendary Youngest Son of the Marquis House

Ongoing | Kei | 2022 released

Pretty fun. Jack likes to border between calculating genius and uncaring madman. Tells his friends about the regression, spills prophecies like they're yesterday's news, and seemingly decides on murder or spewing nonsense based on a coin toss. I do wish Ron got to stick around for longer, but this kind of story very rarely lets male characters develop too much of a relationship.

My School Life Pretending To Be a Worthless Person

Ongoing | | 2019 released

Good shit good shit. Hides his power and acts somewhat meek but he's not a weakling that just takes it. Has a little bit of snark and actually dodges sometimes when people try to hit him. Has unknown reasons to stay in the school for superpowered people even though he keeps his spot as the weakest. When he uses his power he turns in to a bloodthirsty maniac and he actually uses this in front of people if need be. EDIT: If I get hit with one more cliffhanger I'll be hanging by the neck instead. Then again, I'm so addicted any chapter ending would probably be a cliffhanger to me. EDIT 2: Dropped. I've left rating and such mostly unchanged but ONLY for season 1. Season 2 is like a different series it's terrible.

Helmut: The Forsaken Child

Ongoing | Htfc | 2021 released

Pretty good. Don't care for the seed of darkness stuff but I've always had a soft spot for characters that grew up isolated and learn about people along their journey. This one wasn't completely alone though so he has a decent bit of common sense, just less so when it comes to society as a whole. Like his personality too, calm and reserved but not afraid to stand his ground.

Warrior High School – Dungeon Raid Department

Ongoing | | 2019 released

I'd give it a 5 if they weren't constantly throwing someone that might 1-up mc in. We haven't had enough time to bask in his op-ness for things like that to be anything other than frustrating. Especially when he gets help from someone established as weak. There's still hope for this to be a slow burn with payoff despite it looking like a strong from the start story. His personality has to work overtime to compensate for the lack of interesting abilities, meant to be a high school student but acts like a hardened man who's accepted that the world runs on money. It's kinda fun to watch and something I haven't seen pulled off seriously much.

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.

Infinite Mage

Ongoing | | 2019 released

Very fun. Smart MC that's pretty relatable. I ended up liking the couple chapters of bromance we got and his family is wholesome too. Interesting magic system and variety in the plot. EDIT: The school arc is kinda generic ngl. EDIT 2: Honestly underwhelming. There aren't that many cool op moments, the magic system makes no sense, it's just made up technobabble. The other characters range from boring to annoying.

Dangerous Dungeon Escape

Ongoing | | 2022 released

Unsure. Sometimes it seems pretty cool, other times it's mid. It'll really depend on how the story progresses.

Past Life Returner

Ongoing | Suzuki Misaki,Rei Gotoh,JANG,Na Min Chae | 2022 released

It's kinda mad when you think about it but great series. There's a few types of conflict mixed in for some variety. First 20 chapters is basically just stonks but actually interesting with some other prep to break things up, then we switch between politics, dungeon raiding, and assassination. Yes they all somehow make sense. This guy is basically planning to solo the entire dungeon break phenomenon and nipping various other issues in the bud. Love the side characters too. No romance but there is a girl with a lot of screentime in the later chapters, she's ok. MC is underage this entire time but he doesn't look it at all so I keep forgetting until someone mentions it, but because of how mature he acts even characters in the series tend to forget.

Superstar From Age 0

Ongoing | | 2022 released

Pretty good actually. He's fairly proactive for a baby and doesn't do anything dumb. I like the dad. They include a bunch of male kpop idols for a bit too lol. The gimmick is that he has some powers from previous lives he remembers, but there's loads of limitations on them so he's not so much OP as he is equipped to handle most situations. Some of his past lives are depressing though like the elf one (yes he was a hot ass elf I want that shit back) he was evil and almost destroyed everything it just sucks. He has regrets about these things.
