The Novel’s Extra (2022)
The Newbie Is Too Strong
ch 25. not sure if I wanna continue. mc is kinda basic. the art is flat. the battles are not interesting. the minor chars aren't interesting either. look, the popois are cute, and the streaming aspect is unique, but there is no hook interesting enough to keep me intrigued. reading this after one-hit teacher, i sigh bc while they are both 9.6 stars, the difference in quality is so vast. im sorry for the fans, but one-hit teacher is better on so many different aspects- the mc, the secondary chars, the execution, the comedy, the pacing, the plot threads (i assume, for this story, it is the admin, the videos of future him climbing the tower, the tower itself, the minor one about the identity of 'the love')... or, is this the type that will get better as we progress?
The Golden Light of Dawn
ch 46. haha i think imma stop here. ngl i can't really take mc seriously with her cutesy outfit. I can't imagine her putting on all the pieces of elaborate clothing (the beret, the cape, the bowtie, etc) and the accessories, like "I can't go a day without looking like a doll!" haha. the plot unfolds naturally and in an interesting direction. mc is strong, hardworking, and emotional when it comes to her sister. mc's obsession with saving her sister is realistic and moving. anyhow, joshua is obviously sus as hell (is he the child of god? or is he the child of evil who'll damn the world?) but mc is obviously gonna catch feels for him. haha, she's gonna have to choose between saving her last family lily, her newfound love (maybe), or the world from demons, and ngl im anticipating this. this story is much more interesting than i expected, but still, the romance is the weakest aspect of this... I'm more curious about the identities and backstories than the relationships... cuz it doesn't really have much nuance; like 30 chapters later, it's kinda been the same from when they were introduced. and, i would like if the story to delve into mc's hatred for kashin... cuz it seems kinda unreasonable? so he was mean to you when u were young, but while his words were coldhearted, they were reasonable. i know, i know, she was young then, but she still hates him all this time, and he obviously got issues with his family, so cut him some slack, geez.
Beast with Flowers
ch 78. hmm it kinda got boring, the plot is meandering like the author doesn't really know how to move forward so they just added funny and fluffy stuff; the lovey-dovey stuff between the leads are kinda boring now. the first 20~ chapters when mc was unaware of ml's identity was more interesting.
The Tyrant Wants To Live Honestly
wow she really was psychotic pre-regression. im interested to see how her mindset change before she died, bc she is pretty different now.
Heavenly Demon Cultivation Simulation
ch 27. meh... it was pretty good, until the...you know. we all know. it's an above-average system manhwa, bc of the unique system. instead of really helping him, it's cold, impersonal, even seems to try to kill him at times by forcing those options... mc is also pretty quickwitted and cautious but that's pretty much his only personality traits. he's bland. the art is really nice, the progress is solid but gradual, but's that pretty much why it's better than its manhwa peers. Other than that, it's a pretty typical manwha where everyone is an asshole to him, and conveniently, the only one who isn't is a powerful beautiful lady who takes an interest in him for no reason. doesn't help that the system is forcing romance either all of a sudden, without any established rapport between them. srsly tho, the stakes for him are so high, I feel the tension for him sometimes; he doesn't have the need or time to be romancing rn. also some plot holes i found: why dont the lord of supreme court just kill him since it's said he doesnt like the mc? he went thru the trouble of sending him and his team to be killed by his ally, reducing his manpower, when he could've just send his secret guard to kill him. and when he found that top-tier martial arts book in earth demon's room it was really really REALLY lucky for him that earth demon, for some reason, despite his high martial arts, couldn't sense him rummaging thru his stuff. and why is that book hidden there without a trap/defense measure to alert him? he's surely not that careless to believe that the hiding place was really gonna be effective? the fact that mc found that book without any sort of mechanism against thieves or actual trouble is SO convenient.
