axima's manga / #male lead(29)

It's great except for the part where MC is a dumbass and loses everything. He only has brawn no brains but the action is fun. EDIT: NOPE. There's romance now. In general he was a bit too much of a bleeding heart to be fun, with him letting the kid win and all.

Not really my style but there's some hope. EDIT: I suspect harem so dropped unless I get desperate.

It's been so long since I started this I don't even remember much. The action I think was pretty fire but the other charas are very meh? I don't recall a whole lot of time spent at the school even though he's a student. I don't care about him saving his sister or anything but the thing with that one girls dad was cool.

The expressions aren't quite as over the top as Lloyd but they're close and definitely have the same vibes. Bro isn't like the strongest out there and might not even reach that point but it's not really a straight up combat story so that works fine and he still holds his own. Seeing the plans he cooks up to prepare for war is the fun part. Can't wait for the time when people realize he's not just insane but there's a method to the madness.

Them being soldiers instead of randos is interesting. The cooking thing is pretty cool, although I'd like to see a bit more of his other skills and the monster cooking from the prologue. EDIT: Not exactly action heavy but very fun nonetheless. It's more of a people drama.

I find it gets better the longer it goes on. Current conflict is very interesting but I think it's nearing the end so I'll have to see about what's next. Even though it's Chinese it dodges a lot of the typical pitfalls, artstyle mimics Korean manhwa very well. Reincarnation rag is pretty popular here but it only applies to a character that gets taken out of the picture in like chapter 2. There's also someone that's isekai'd who's around for longer but he might be on his deathbed.

Not loving MC's abilities but the personality is interesting. Not quite full on altruist but still weirdly forgiving and willing to help. The tower itself is pretty cool even though I generally prefer gates, in this one each floor has a different objective and the whole group is stuck in it together. EDIT: It got good for a short while but then they had to introduce the murderer woman and ruin it. She plans to kill everybody but then has all the generic FL traits/scenes it's giving tonal whiplash and MC is stupid for not killing her right away. Dropped.

Not much to say. It's good but not sure if it's going to be great just yet.

Forgot to rate but it was great. I hope it comes back eventually. MC is really fun and the side characters (villains included) interesting. Don't really remember the overall plot tbh. The art is good too.
