  • I feel like I will be spurting testicles pieces when I pee from how much torturous the chinese plot is.

    Not only is it realistic in how buttfucked selfish humanity can be, but it can be as ridiculous in a Deus Ex Machina moment.

    I get that it is supposed to be how it goes, but the execution really reminds me of 2010 chinese web novels.

    And I shouldn't have find out the author and their previous works.

    I dropped their previous works before... no wonder the nagging feeling of nipple cripple.
    The four words are "all over the place".

    I have no idea what the author is trying to pull, but I am frustrated at the plot jumping up and down and all around like an untrained and hyperactive gibbon.
    Deleted another bookmark that stopped bringing me joy.

    All I feel from the supposed Baki style fighting is a sense of dryness. A bland taste in which MC becomes tougher than raw steak as men beat his meat.

    Yes the work also feels gay, but not in a good way but in a sahara dry rub way; abrasive.

    But here I must state to not pander to the readers too much as well.

    Because let's face it, a wish fulfilling work might not be a good one.

    The key I guess is indulgence of self and audience. Find the balance to placate to yourself, so as to not turn writing into a painful chore, and to the audience, so as to not lose most of them.

    EVERYTHING need balance, EVERYTHING. Even in life.
    -one of my favorite quote and logic

    Too much salt, too much sugar, not enough water, too much water. Too much sports, not enough.
    Too much sleep.
    Not enough rest.
    Too much action, not enough.
    Too cool. Not cool enough.
    Too long, too short.
    Too kind, Too evil.
    etc
    etc

    THIS. Is one of my most favorite profound logic i ever found.
    Everything depends on dosage.
    So I finally looked at Film Theory's episode about the movie Wicked and while I did vaguely recall the movie is from a broadway musical, I did not know that it was from a novel, specifically a fanfic of the Wizard of Oz.

    ... I am stupid.
    Watched Wicked.

    First thought on the first two third? Cringe.

    The villain reveal is also its own cringefest.

    Though I have to say that the music is nice.
    IF ONLY uukanshu or 69shu WORKED !!!!

    The female anchor made a wish to be famous, but the next second she was covered in chicken blood!
    "She wanted to be famous, but she didn't say this kind of fame!"

    A single girl made a wish for a soldier, and a phone call came in, saying that her brother had joined the army.

    There was also a wanted criminal who wished to live a stable life with food and drink every day, but he was sent to the police station.

    Proof that manhwa got so much popularity is bc of art quality (and animes) :

    (its fugly warning) (and retarded like a 2010 CN, especially the [a fly villain buzzing around INVINCIBLE mc but he masochistly dont care] routine)

    First time i see a wuxia/rebirth series where they uglify the main heroine.

    The worse is that its her death moment in first life, where you should fall for/like her as reader.
    But my only reaction is : urg~~~~ WHY !

    Ok its not ugly ugly, but like : why !!!!
    Its like chinese painting uglification. Or realism uglification adding big lips and stuff.
    3th : WHY !
    Of course it's the internet and things happening in doujins are popping IRL.

    A mother-daughter pair did an AV together.

    Judging by first impression, probably just some nudes and nips, not counting on lezzing but since it is OnlyFans... money talks.

    Cant believe i would see what i craved in a xianxia for YEARS, in a JP manga.

    Why the heck no CN ever EVER E.V.E.R EEEEEEEEEEEEVER did it after "God of martial arts" series, to have a MC with a sharp tongue that expose villains' BS

    I mean, its not like its overly complicated thing needing genius writing skills or bad thing (heroine die) or "cant plagia" plot point like Naruto-ninjas.

    I was wondering why you only show me c9.1. I enjoy the amount of smack he gives to the former friend that is now a criminal who had abandoned him. MC apathy is good, no BS JP turn another cheek.

    Alas, I start the work from start just now and I cannot stomach it.

    Bc its only there.
    (rest is usual "slow life" hence i shared chap link and not manga link)
    Might be my poor memory, but I do enjoy the current trend of the skill upgrading system as it combined the conventional of "press + to level up skill" with a little bit of "visiting a parallel future" gimmick.

    The latter gimmick being deemed too OP that no new works are about it.
    NotaNuffian

    So the current trend is "MC use time units to level up skill and can experience the time spent, unlike some system which at best threw in muscle memory for instinctive movement or at worse having the MC to re-adjust to his newly upgraded skills, MC with the new system already knows, because it is like "locked in a room which MC practises ceaselessly".
    NotaNuffian

    Another gimmick in both works (the first work I dropped because MC was too passive) is upgrade failure/ death detection.

    As quote by the first work, "(I was) trapped in a room where I can't die normally and worked till time end, you can give a normie an eternity and still he can't make a nuclear bomb with nothing to work with".
    NotaNuffian

    This forces MCs to learn outside skills to complement his current skills and to use the upgrade system better.

    The first MC also used the system to test if his current body has been poisoned, though it was only shown once and handwaved to background.
