I hate to be "that guy", but that is basically like saying "at least the sun rose today". It was never going to end a different way. Even though the last chapter spent a sizeable chunk of it's time implying the MC was dead, it was just a fake out to milk some drama before jumping into a happy...

I checked out around the same time but looked back ever now and then. Unfortunately it didn't really go anywhere and the author clearly new this. They had setup for this license exam to be full hunters/ninja/etc. with a bunch of new characters getting introduced. Then a few chapters later the...

We've finally reached the end of this travesty of a manga. When this first came out I was more excited for a series then I'd been in years. Something that broke the mold, turned a genre on it's head. Instead, what we got was: 1. A super hero who lost his secret identity 1/4 of the way through...

No, absolutely not. Considering how the author is going for the most surface level example of "People are shitty, especially on the internet" it's not surprising they did. The little sister has ALREADY been reduced to a plot device meant to justify the MC being an asshole to people who "deserve...

Calling a mangaka a "comedic genius" is high praise considering the legacy of classic manga series that have spanned generations. Let's see what else he's done.... Checks Mangadex and other sites Hmm, not much. That's a One Piece spin off, that's a 3 chapter series, and that's...."Mamore...

The story boarding on these panels is atrocious. Take chapter 4 for instance: The MC is staring at some crystals, alone in the dungeon. On the very next page he's secretly tailing some mysterious cloaked figures, saying "Where did they come from?" About 3-4 panels got lost in the sketching...

Author: "Hm, after reading the synopsis it sure feels like my main character is just a trust fund baby that got kicked out on his ass after someone actually appropriate for the job came along. I got it! His sister will just be the most blatant cartoonishly evil villain imaginable. Boom, power...

Whoooooh! Captain Damsel is finally rescued and so the Kaiju spend two chapters staring at and slapping each other! What could possibly make this series any better? Why, a month long break of course!!!!

So Kafka thinks he can win because he spent a few weeks learning how to throw a punch. Even when he's up against the monster that beat/absorbed the guy who created said fighting style and can now probably use it. Sure, that tracks for this manga.

Why introduce some vague issue with the MC's body in the last chapter if it had no impact on his ability to see Star (the whole point/theme of this chapter), and make a show of how easy it was to fix a few pages later? It works for short stories like doujinshi, but not a serialized manga. That...

For those that haven't heard, the web novel ended in February 2024. It finished on chapter 1308, of which the current manga chapter (ch 74) I would roughly guess to be around 130. I've read a large portion of the web novel and the first few light novels. While never straying far from the isekai...

I've been close to dropping this series since the war arc began, but this last chapter was the final straw. The pacing has been horrendous, the constant breaks have dragged it even further, and there are so many different characters running around I don't know who is who, or where they even...

It's so much worse than that. As the translator notes and comments on chapter 8 point out, Heriyama was/is a huge publisher of Mega Man Star Force Doujinshi. Most of them feature the character Luna Platz/Shirogane, who is just 1 to 1 cut-and-pasted to create Star in this manga. From the design...

The author being a major Mega Man Star Force fan explains a LOT about this series. There are countless similarities beyond the Star to Luna comparison. The whole story feels like an ad libs version of a MMSF fan work. Like the author just swapped some names and character designs but left all of...

Well this is... painfully cliche. This has the exact same story beats and tone as so many early 2000 series, right down to the non-committal relationship teasing that is pervasive to every chapter. Rather than be a superhero manga, like the first chapter implies, it's a rom-com masquerading as...
