So I bumped into a new series while going down the rabbit hole with no description. Cover art and title was interesting so I read a few.

Standard setup and back story. Might be interesting to see if anything unique stands out…

Then it kept jumping forward. The story progressed way too fast.

I realized it was a manhua.

I don’t know why but there’s always so much happening so fast it’s hard for me to digest it all that I end up dropping it.

What are your thoughts?

Other manhua I’ve dropped:

  • Versatile Mage

  • My Wife is a Demon Queen

  • Monster Pet Evolution

    There are only so many stories that make me feel satisfied.

    This is one of the reasons I enjoy reading Solo Leveling. It’s not a groundbreaking story at all. But its a clean and short read.

    I’ve started to get more into LNs since you get all the world building thats cut out in adaptations.

    My Wife is a Demon Queen was interesting to me since the MC is sort of powerless, but with the power of creativity and drawing he’s strong. I like crafty sort of stuff with creation as a driving force. Legendary Mechanic is on my to do list.

    Look into Overgeared. The LN is crazy long and its a slow build up but the author warns you that the MC is a piece of crap that evolves as the story goes on. It really started to get good about 200 chapters in. The story got picked up for Manwha adaptation. They did a decent job with it!

        Hard for me to make a recommendation besides overgeared for a LN. Non standard story. Its a leveling crafting series about a MC playing an VRMMO. The twist is he’s a horrible gamer and self centered. But because he plays inefficiently it ends up helping in the long run.

        He also solves his issues fairly quickly but keeps playing as a career gamer. Ends up socializing through the game and becoming a better person. The character development is fantastic.

        If you liker bastard, give Swet Home a go, it’s from the same author and the vibe has a similar-ish eerines.

        Also,as a general recommendation that I’m reading and enjoying right now:

        Black knight: kinda decent vibe to it. I reincarnated as a legendary surgeon: yes, I know, isekai bs, but the story progresses in an organic way for now and the MC is likeable. The return of the crazy demon: it might not be up your alley but the entire pretext is that the MC is actually kinda crazy so I do enjoy binging 5-6 chapters from time to time.
