pluckaduck's manga / #Action(187)

phanora...<33 istg every single one of the women is gorgeous. this manga deserves a higher rating. I'm in awe of the author... debut novel?? everything is so amazing, it's hard to believe.

I'm so confused about the ending... so what exactly was the teddy bear robot? what crimes did the guy gesicht killed did? what happened to the robot kid he adopted?

love it, but like the main story, the fight scenes take so damn long. so many epiphanies when death is close at hand, huh? like, can one of you die already??

loser gains a system. not my cup of tea. catered to male audience, i guess.

i thought the plot twist was kinda obvious. so when silver the alien attacked, aloof dark-haired boy, akio, eyepatch guy, and according to aloof boy, the mc was in the scene too. silver laid devastation on the aloof boy's home and his sis is rendered into a coma; akio was killed that day, and the future mc was the one who saved aloof boy(according to him). also, now, eyepatch believes mc has an alien within him, who could be silver, bc of the devastation he caused in the vr test. but now eyepatch revealed that he used to have a dog and daughter, and he "killed" akio on that day. so to my understanding, silver had taken the form of eyepatch's dog, for some reason, was triggered and destroyed stuff, and then rehosts itself in the mc... as of now, the mc is annoying. he's bland, naive, and kinda unlikable.

ch 54. getting soo pissed and vexed how everything is playing right into that ugly guy with tattoo's hands. maybe if they hadn't revealed how much the ugly guy was playing them like a fool as the story progressed up to the climax of mc and his 'friend's' breakup but instead revealed all that he had done after the aforementioned climax, it'd be more of a 'oh DAMN' moment. I wouldn't be as vexed as much as I'd be shocked. also, why the boobs so big? ch65. long haired guy pisses me off. he's so narrow-minded and his trust in mc must have been so minuscule that he's not even willing to give mc the benefit of the doubt or hear him out, and ruminate over the possibility that the incident was to sow tension between them? the dialogue and facial expressions doesn't help either, it's not angsty, there's no undertones of resentment in his words; it's lackluster ch67. ahh fuck he's so condescending, despite saying "i dislike being cruel to the weak". did the author intentionally make him so dislikable/obnoxious or does the author just dont give a shit about dialogue/characterization? ch88. wondering if i should drop this... this manga isn't bad, but it's not great either. the art is okay, but all the guys kinda look the same. the artist doesn't know how to convey emotions thru angle shots and atmosphere, which is also why the tension had been flat thru out the whole manga. it lacks subtlety and nuance. the dialogue sucks, im sorry, but it's like telling us what they think and feel, rather than showing us thru their words and silence. and all the fights so far had kinda sucked bc of the angles and lack of tension and twists. the characters seem to possess only one characteristic. like the timid girl...her whole personality is being a timid person who thinks of herself as useless. the guy who keeps yapping about one thing- that his peers arent friends and he needs to get stronger. ughh it makes them so dismissable and unlikeable. overall, it's bland and uninspired. i am flabbergasted as to how this has the same rating as Ajin, which is leagues above this.

ch 38. ei sei rallied up the soldiers. it seems the tide is changing but puffer lips guy is planning something. shin and his group reach the throne room where they are tasked to kill ei sei's half-bro but now they must overcome ranka, this huge brutal monster of a human abomination. also, the puffer lips guy is creepy af. also, mountain tribe leader is hot af. i thought it was obvious ten was a female. 67. jesus christ puffer lips is as creepy as ever 100. i have no words. this is just epic. everything wraps up so nicely and sets the stage for the next arc, we have various interesting main charas, great storytelling that isn't forced, builds suspense, and makes worldbuilding or plot easier to follow. the only con would be the art, but that's a personal preference ig. ch 129. goddam that is a brilliant strategy. first, send out the left army to attack, so the zhao general will be deceived into dispatching out their left flank to counter. thus allowing shin's 100-man squad to infiltrate from that particular less defensive side to the army base where the zhao general is protected. yes, that left army was a ruse, a sacrifice. however, once the zhao enemy figured it out, and tried to retreat, behind them is an illusion of an overwhelmingly large qin army about to flank them. he only has 300~ men with him. by this time, what's left of the qin army had broken through and surrounded them. and finally, the arrow, shin breaks thru as well and kills the zhao general in one strike.
