Tokyo Babel
glasses girl is the coldhearted and rational voice of the group. I hate her (edit: she got better). but damn, the concept is unique. also, the fact that the angels were the manifestations of the dead people in babel is so interesting. also, why you(mc) like the girl who told u to forget your sister?? also, the climber dude... he's hot. everyone else is kinda useless, especially the guy with the buzzcut(?) edit: the mystery of babel has been solved. the antagonist has been defeated. yua is alive. the subplot about the sister is resolved. but the mc's fate is ambiguous.
Tower of God
ch 46. the amount of backstabbing and betrayals is stunning... ch 74. OH NO YOU DID NOT JUST BETRAY THE ONE GUY WHO WILL EVER SIMP FOR YOU YOU USELESS SHIT. ch 75. they don't know it was rachel herself who pushed baam off the edge, and now they wish to honor his goal by helping rachel reach the top of the tower... if this is not irony, then what is. close to the end of first arc. ch 98. damn betrayals one after another...still, love how other side characters get screentime as well. honestly, if the art was better, and the flow of the sequence of events was smoother, this would be more popular than it is. ch 105. the bitch is back. she's seriously trying to manipulate koon the same way she did to baam...! using vulnerability and grief over baam's "sacrifice" to instill a sense of pity......goddamn what a horrible person. at least koon isn't fooled. he'll indeed protect rachel, but he's anticipating her death; he wants to kill her. his and baam's friendship is just so...<3 ch 113. urek is kinda... ch 145. fucking sad. baam's past allies all want to kill viole for revenge but they don't realize viole IS baam and he's trying so hard to protect them. still, they are slowly approaching the truth, but its frustrating af. ch 160. rak and androssi finally realized...! TT TT i gotta say, loving the emotional development. ch 186. really do like how the author showed how people react differently to trauma; others use it to fuel their ambition while retaining their aversion to hurt others whereas others may fall into evil's side and hurt others. ahem, *the guy who fell in love with his family's murderer* v2 ch 146-9. sigh, after all this time, he still hasn't given up on that backstabbing bitch. he hoped she had a reason to betray him so it would be easier to forgive her... STOP IT BAAM ENOUGH OF THAT USELESS OBSESSION. SHE JUST PUSHED YOU OFF AGAIN. v2 ch 189. wow, hoaquin that piece of shit. he is a trash scumbag personified. Nearly a billion lives were killed in the war he incited and perpetuated all for the sake of acquiring power. on the other hand, daniel and his former allies' story is really too pitiful. daniel's beloved sacrificed herself, but against his will, he didn't die with her. v2 ch308. no fcking way. why did they have to die?? rachel, yura, casano, and hoaquin GO TO HELL. i cant even describe how detestable they are. I thought i knew, but goddamn they need to die and idc if yura has a sad backstory cuz it's indisputable that she needs to die as well. on another note, I can't believe the hell train arc isn't finished yet. v2 ch 320. well, more complicated stuff. they've arrived on the floor of death and baam's parents are revealed. but then it's also apparent that rachel is connected to his mother. rachel's goal to defy her destiny is understandable; like many heroes in a story, she has nothing except ambition... if she wasn't so rotten, i would've sympathized with her. also, what is karaka and wangnan's connection to jahad and the 10 families? v2 ch 341. urek mazino is such a cool guy. but anyways... baam you fool. gustang could've granted any favor you could wish for...yet you wanted rachel to be healed?? are you fucking inane?? i am starting to get why readers are calling him selfish. i mean, rachel's actions are not justifiable by any way, but i get her resentment. still why isn't she dead yet?? she even has a stingray protecting her now! anyway, they headed to the hidden floor now. ch 396. that useless self-righteous backstabbing shit render khun into a coma. it seems baam finally got his head out of the clouds now that he cut off his lingering affection for her. anyway, there's another mini-arc of the hell train arc. they're facing more enemies at the last station cuz jaha ordered the hell train's riders to be killed. ch 417. they escaped, but baam's master was captured. fug and baam will probably have to team up. new arc soon. ugh, and useless rachel going to get three wishes from gustang. wtf. ch 440. new arc about the canine people and the coup. brothers' conflict. yama kinda hot. i admit, karaka is growing on me... he says he trusts no one but he starting to seem to care about others, including baam. he's less annoying now. khun acquired a new flame power that regenerates himself and others. rak is the same. the art really improved; the details are amazing. ch 453. oh no...they don't know the cat-man can control canine people...and they brought a whole legion to save yama. but I really do love how they love yama, despite him thinking otherwise. 468. baam finally aint trying to be the deliverer of justice or trying to save everyone. canine people arc done, now they're heading to the nest on the 52F to save baam's master, ensuing a battle that would mark the beginning of the war against jahad's forces. 501. the author is amazing at making it hard to completely hate some of the antagonists. like kalahan... but i do hate the cat guy. I'm so happy that guys that were previously fighting against each other are now allies (ie. baam and karaka; the three canine brothers; the temporary truce of hoaquin and baam fell apart bc the former is evil) but i do hate the combination of baam and kalahan, since he's loyal to jahad. Jesus christ, hoaquin is so hateable; there's nothing that relates him to us, unlike that of Rachel. something wrong with ch 529. but anyway, didn't expect cat-guy had a backstory like this. traumerei, the anima family head, has disgustingly pretty eyes; it also seems he was betrayed by someone in the past so he's a real asshole now. ch 536. to think yama's father and catguy's story was like this. catguy was obsessed with yama's father; they were friend-ish. catguy was controlled by traumerei to kill yama's father against his will. he lied to traumerei that he killed yama, doom, and paul and but reality, instilled a fear/order in them so they will never appear before him again...probably to keep them hidden from traumerei. the story we know of their background is completely flipped. now he aims to kill traumerei, but i don't understand why he tried to kill yama and his bros. ch. 547. 52F arc done. baam separated from his allies again. and he's going to be the prize (spouse) of whoever wins this competition which his master proposed in order to stall for time. hope endorsi appears. and this blonde bitch here thinks she's all that.
Superhuman Era
ch 15. i like how the people who died were given some backstory. it's like the author is humanizing the casualties. ch 60. damnit. crying rn. old man better not die. ch 84. hoping the superhuman ladies won't die. mc's 'scent' is pretty cool. it's like mother nature favors him and gifts him power. the art is kinda weird but i like how there's no fanservice; like pearl is pretty but she doesn't have a curvy or lithe body but instead, bulging muscles...it's nice. ch 90. oh my god...i have no idea the relationship between pink-haired big guy and kalen...but I'm kinda tearing up. also, the evan guy is so annoying. a lot of the characters' objectives and stories are unknown thus far, such as nan gi and his companion, evan, and even the inhumans. bc why do they want to obliterate humanity? s1 completed. ch 121. lmao that hoaran guy is totally a simp for nan gi. alya is so badass, wielding that chain anchor. on a side note, I can't say I like the romance aspect of mc and his classmate. it's understandable she's useless since she's just an average high school student, but she doesn't seem all that necessary in the story so far...?
The Devil
ch 52. I'm glad mc finally disabused from believing that she loved john. but what's with the panel of her opening her mouth to eat that plant. it gives off eerie undertones. ch 57. so she hates him yet loves him. kinda feel bad for him cuz john is so desperately in love with mc. ch 97. not sure if i want to continue. winifred is like in love with his nanny who is ~20 years older than him. but she only saved him to enact her revenge on their mother and sees him as her son. so that is fcked up.
Tokyo Metropolitan Magic Technical School
Between Love, Hate and Affection
the cover art is nice. the narrative itself is weak. the driving force of the story is the misunderstanding between the main leads. i can't believe that it's completed. the world-building was so undeveloped (like, demons and holy knights in a fantasy setting?); the ending was so anti-climatic (they fucked and then confessed their feelings. the end). there were other side characters that could've been interesting, such as the incubus, but he was reduced to a plot device who just fucks the mc. didn't know what is his backstory (it was so simplified; no complexity) or did he complete his goal, is he going to continue fucking mc bc mc's goal to reduce the grades of the ml wasn't even accomplished? seriously, the only noteworthy thing was the smut; don't expect actual plot.
