Good characters, characters going through serious character development. The reveal Jin mori is a god was insanely good. The whole tournament background why they did it was a great idea. Jin Moris motivation were clear. The second part has easily one of the best villains out there, Jin’s whole personality switch and why was great writing, the parallel between him and mujin at the end where one gains everything and the other loses everything was great. It didn’t felt like you knew who would win the battle, Jin mori lost like 3-4 times and would still lose if mujins daughter wouldn’t be the key to his original power. It was a great read imo. Also you can apply this to anything the survival guide is great no question yet it’s a normal issekai where the mc thinks that he can’t intervene with the mc of the game because he would ruin everything and tries to make the game as basic as possible which also happens so idk. Also I don’t know drifting moon. And star embracing swordsman Is a typical revenge story nothing more(if iirc).
Star embracing swordmaster isnt a revenge story at all, ghe revenge really feels secondary. Its the story of street rat becoming a knight, and its great.

Absolute Regression and Reaper of the drifting moon are both Murim manhwa and probably the 2 best around at the moment. Absolutely regression is pretty much the opposite of Grapara and the characters have God tier communication, the writing is excellent and the art is the same artist as The Breaker, so it's too tier as well.

I really didn't care for Tower of God or the anime at all.

Look at the end of the day it's her story to tell love it or hate it it's still her story there is no reason to hate on her for it let alone personal insults.
There is absolutely reason to hate on Airi for her story. She lied and labeled it a rom-com, if you dont do that then make whatever slop you want but stick to the genre, its not right for the readers. If someone wants to read a story of a specific type let them read that type of story. Just label the shit right and nobody would care. Also dont switch it all up after like 3 years.

It also really seems like she pulled a gal cleaning and said fuck you all im making him a cuck and ruining every character in the manga

Guilty circle is pointless Aitsu no Kanojo makes no sense and blush DC is just misery porn as well as Ingoshima. There is plenty of shit out there that doesn't hit but I did find the ending funny with how predictable it was.
No matter how bad the stories of both mangas, they are honest to their readers by following their genre (or tag) properly. Unlike Grapara with the "rom-com" genre that we can't see the comedy chemistry between the FMC and MC like we can see in the other rom-com mangas, except the special chapters of Chico which is not in the main story because only people who buy the volume can read Chico's special chapters! So they didn't count.

If Grapara didn't tag "rom-com" till now, most people will not angry at Airi Katsura (sensei).

So, Grapara is a truly rom-com fraud from the start!

Yes, this is the crux of the problem, also the fact that it felt like the tone changed after 100+ chapters.

Yeah star embracing swordsmaster was great I stopped when the bar woman sold herself and he rescued her I didn’t wanted to wait the whole time for a new chapter that’s why I let it marinate a little and forgot in the process. I have to give the two murim manhwa a chance I like this setting.
I’ve read a manhua it was also something like a murim Dynasty but the mc wasn’t your typical mc he did everything to get immortal and that was also great.
And yeah I also didn’t cared much for tower of god. It was really noblesse, the god of Highschool that brought me to manhwas.

It remind me a manga where the guy got small dick and always sit on the cuck chair. Watching her wife got fucked and the reason she marries him was for money and when she was done fucking, she was disgusted by the fact he wants to fuck with her and then she gave him a sex doll and continue to fuck. whilst she fucked a fuck boy with bigpp and her husband fucking the sex doll with her small pp.

Oh it absolutely changed. It was like all comedy dropped after the first (and only) sex scene between Sakura and Shinobu.

Tried to make it a duo love triangle with Shinobu to Sakura and Fumi and Sakura with Shinobu and Fuckboi.

Any comedy that happened from these chapters was just from the bonus one. It tried to become a drama by the looks of it and it wasn't handled all that well cause nobody liked fuckboi from the getgo.

Like seriously lol "a love triangle blooming", so what. We're supposed to see and have some root for Fuckboi when what he does pales in comparison to what Shinobu did?

"Oh he found the necklace! He prayed at a shrine!"
That still wasn't enough.

Fuckboi didn't do even 10% what Shinobu did for Sakura.His personality and his introduction didn't too much to make people root for him.

That is just different of Fumi that people really rooted for her to win Shinobu's heart against Sakura.And her introduction and personality helped.(until the last 2 chapters character assasination)

Sounds like a wholesome story

With Fumi it was easy for some people to root for her. Especially with how Sakura was allowing fuckboi and Blondie to badmouth him and say nothing. It was that moment people started to dislike Sakura (Well save for the producer part).
