Manwha: Revenge of the Sword Clan's Hound

[shinta|hikari]

I just read up to the latest of Artamesh. He has created his army and the others have a chance for the spotlight now, although he ends up saving them most of the time at the end anyway, much like OPM. His racism has only reached new levels, which now includes demons and anything related to them lol.

oh that actually sounds cool, gotta pick it up next week when I'm on vacation

[shinta|hikari]

Just caught up with Rainbow Mage and it is a blast (of light)! All the scientific mumbo jumbo can be skipped, and even if you don't, they all tie up and are actually meaningful to the plot. Great stuff because it is never easy for the MC. He achieves great feats but only after grinding himself to dust and risking his life over and over.

Any other recommendations? You are hitting a perfect 1.0 right now, so please keep at it!

[KrayZ33]

oof - maybe something "different" in terms of setting this time.
This one however doesn't necessarily have a very strong story but it's interesting enough. The search for the murderer is quite interesting as it introduces a lot of characters that are somehow connected to everything.



Reality Quest

Not sure which translation is better. I read the version where he was described with the word "game shuttle" in chapter one.

I liked the fight scenes. And I stopped at a point shortly after best girl appeared (knowing you, you'll probably prefer the first girl in this series - not the one at the very start though) because updates where slow... I should probably pick that one up again. Art was very good too.

I think the one on bato.to is the officially translated one (is that a thing?)? But i'm not sure, it isn't up to date to the latest either.
If you like it tell me which version you are reading/decided on. Knowing that one is official, I'd probably go with that one now.


edit:
just realized, I stopped at the end of season 1. (Chapter 123)
So I didn't even stop reading, I just never got around checking when season 2 releases.

[shinta|hikari]

Starting now. Thanks!

[shinta|hikari]

I just finished it!

Pretty good read, but almost no waki The action was good, except for the overly repetitive head to the ground slam. It is absolutely hilarious that these guys are all "minors" LOL.

Do you have more recs? I was looking stuff up and saw Swordmaster's Youngest Son. Have you read it? If so, is it good?

[KrayZ33]

Nope, none other come to mind that lasted more than a few chapters for me.
The rest are mangas which take ages to update.
Your turn

edit: I think the next one I'm gonna try is

Priest of Corruption.
Saw some pictures where that guy used a chainsaw sword.

[shinta|hikari]

I am actually reading the Swordmaster's Youngest Son and it is eerily similar to the Baskerville one.

[KrayZ33]

from the pictures I saw it doesn't look as good though... reminds me a little of the artstyle used in Solo Leveling, which I grew to dislike.
Still worth?

[shinta|hikari]

I agree about the artstyle, but the story beats are very similar to Baskerville. No thirsttraps so far and seems to be telling a serious story, unlike the Sealed gamer dood which has entire panels dedicated for ass and boobs.

Man, the faceless dude's "inner dimension" thingy is kinda wasted considering how creepy he could have made that one.
Instead of what looks like a sewer, he should've made it a big hall with fleshy walls where each individual is half sewn in like the aliens do in the Alien movies.
And the guy himself, while looking interesting, should've been some kind of faceless monster that has a hole full with sharp teeth instead of a face. Something like that.

The series is kinda brutal in a way anyway, after all the small girls and boys literally get eaten alive and not just "absorbed" or whatever.
Would've made it all the more gruesome knowing how all of them are basically eaten by such a monster.
The current version looks a little bit too much like a jester, even though it's certainly a spooky/demonic one.

[shinta|hikari]

Poor girl.

Did he only now reach the 7th fang in its full form?

[shinta|hikari]

I guess he only reached the 7th fang with her ultimate buff. That means he is still not on par with Hugo, who has mastered it years ago. The difference is he has the blueprint to reach the 10th fang. Since his dad and rest of the family are now allies, shouldn't he be revealing this secret to power them up as well? They are clearly virtuous, just tricked in his previous life.

EDIT:
@Krayz - I think you will like Damn Reincarnation. Give it a try!

[KrayZ33]

Might give it a try over the holidays.
Gonna catch up on this one too then.

[shinta|hikari]

Started Mercenary Enrollment after catching up to Damn Reincarnation and Who Stole the Empress. Extremely fun Full Metal Panic knockoff, but far more OP.
