This is some high quality peak! ❤️
It could earn the title of sincere grimdark if it just stays away from needlessly injecting psychosexual slop as well as the overdosing on wizardry and lodoss member berries.Looks like an even more edgy goblin slayer
TBF his hair is pretty distinct compared to all of these, much more curly and disheveledSolid Start, I would have just preferred that he had a different design than the generic anime protagonist look.![]()
TF you mean?? It coveres purely developmental and plot areas, no needless filler. The story and quality is consistent and tells an amazing story. Painting a nice backgroundThe art is nice, but it’s pretty lazily written.
It’s literally made of tropes without a hint of subversion. If “unreasonably strong taciturn self-insert human saves elf girl and it takes a while for her heart to open up” isn't lazy, I don’t know what is. We didn’t see any setup for the strength of our hero, any motivations for wanting to save the village, any reason why he was late and only saved one or any resultant anguish, nor any setup for why the village was attacked or the standings of elves with respect to the humans and monsters in the world. There’s no worldbuilding at all, because you already know the world, because it’s the exact same shitty jrpg-inspired world with arrogant treelicking elves and angry scottish dwarves. They didn’t need to explain why monsters would attack an elf village, because that happens all the time in fantasy, you should be used to it by now. The only way this story could be written more lazily would be if the elf girl was the lone survivor of a caravan, and if our hero has memories of soy sauce and rice.TF you mean
Dude... It's just 3 chapters in. How much information do you want stacked into just 3 chapters?It’s literally made of tropes without a hint of subversion.
