Yeah no. I'll read this if maybe the bitch protagonist lost every single person that she cares about. Suffer, tried committing suicide, suffer A LOT more, and grow as a person.
I can't even stomach 5 chapters lol. And here I thought I have an iron stomach.

Honestly, this isn't amazing by any metric. But I love it. For one reason, the MC.
I don't know how the author did it. But the author hacked my mind into loving this character. It's not about her being relatable. Obviously not. It's not about her being a responsible person. I doubt we'll see that growth until years down the line.
It's just a pure, visceral feeling of wanting to let her do whatever she wants as she wills for no apparent reason. Her character design isn't groundbreaking by any means but somehow I'm drawn to it on every panel. Somehow it reignited my passion to draw again, and so I think by the end of this month my sketchbook will be filled with her. If you read this story, I suppose you can tell which character I relate to the most
It's a mystery to me why I like her so much. However, the fact of the matter is I do and that's what's important at the end of the day
In spite of that, the most I can give is 8/10. I can't in good faith go higher. Objectively, it's probably 6/10

the first 9 chapters had someone besides luascans so i was able to actually read it, and the story is mid and the main character is annoying.
luascans is the only "translators" available for the rest so I have no way to actually figure out how the story progresses.
chapters 1-9 are 4/10 and overall its a 2/10 'cause of luascans

Add them to your block list. My feed has been so much less garbage since I started blocking specific translation groups. I have started enjoying reading random stuff again and not having to check who translated it first.

Q: What do you get when mix an already stale genre with a MC that would rather do literally nothing than progress the plot in any direction?
A: An incredibly boring webtoon.
translation sucks too.
2/10

Hero Killer begs to differ.
It's about on the same level as other korean anti-hero factory works with male mc.

Can't say too much there since I tend to avoid male mc manwha's. Of those I have read however, like Solo Leveling (which everyone gushes over), I'd say it's miles better.
Meh, SL is horseturd that got lucky with art. And by the gods, there are so few korean works that i can say i enjoy now with how many i've read and how they don't even try to make a unique story to fall in love with. I've guzzled down so many shoujos as well, but they're all only something to shut the brain down with.

Really got nothing to do with Korean works at all lol. You see similar things with Chinese, Japanese, and even works from the west. You can only reinvent the wheel so many times combined with corporate number crunchers shooting for easy money and trend chasing LN authors.
I mean, just look at the sheer massive volume of isekai/reincarnated harem slop is out there currently. That's why it's all the more important to not become so jaded you aren't able to recognize a gem when ya see it.
I'll agree that SL just got lucky with the art though. The concept behind SL is a good one but, having read the LN the writing is rather poor. It wastes both it's setting and it's characters so it can be the authors self insert power fantasy.
Nah, it's definitely got everything to do with their respective countries. Koreans have a problem with shitty ass gates or ridiculous romance, JP with edgelord masturbation isekais and terriblu executed harems but at least there's an entire world of unique works, most mainstream western work is so ass that reading fanfiction is better, and we don't talk about chinese works. Wonder what happened over there jesus fucking christ.
But the funniest part is that i have favorite works from each of country's origins, but they're so small in number that it's sad. So little amount of people bother with making a unique story with nearly all of them being made by whimsical gardeners with no plans.
As for the SL novel, i think i've read it before it even got manhwa adaptation and literally fell asleep. That never happened to me before. I think it was around where every asian country was masturbating over Jinwoo being their historical/mythical heroes' reincarnation. And the romance was so shit i wouldn't feed it to stray dogs. Fuck cheap romance.
