2024-02-11 20:57:57 +0000 UTCSomeone's butthurt his Chad sexual fantasy with shallow characters and plot got rightfully called out. I never said I only watch masterpieces though, that's something you made up, but this is simply too boring for anyone who's not 15.

2024-02-11 14:38:32 +0000 UTC"well-written" is a weasel word used by people who don't know how to write. also, what do you think humanity's oldest story is? the most ancient forms of literature are epic poems. the epic of gilgamesh is in so many ways a power fantasy, because power is an atavistic language. that's a crude representation of it, but one that's apt here in all the important ways. seriously. you guys are like... the kinds of chefs that gordon ramsay destroys on the regular. too insecure in one's ability that they have to see more ingredients on the plate to think something is quality. really irritates me. even worse is the "i only read masterpieces" starter pack. it's taste driven so much by a desire to signal literariness it's disgusting to me.

2024-02-11 14:21:11 +0000 UTCgotta say, current discussion sounds a lot like people going "man people hyped up ice cream to me." the worst hackfrauds are guys like you

2024-02-09 06:22:40 +0000 UTCI just rewatched it seeing this comment, and you're right, I misinterpreted that as the golem from the last episode expanded for funsies
The Force
2024-02-07 05:35:20 +0000 UTCYeah I definitely saw the SAO similitude too. He's basically tall Kirito. I definitely won't like it later either. I was looking for a good story with well written characters (decently at least) not to self-insert myself in a D&D wet dream where I turn out to become a hyper mega ultra chad. I'll drop it and leave it to those who enjoy that, definitely not my thing.
KaijinGarou
2024-02-05 17:20:36 +0000 UTCIt's SAO for the next generation, essentially. Power fantasies where the MC is strong and virtuous and gets the attention of others for how nice and powerful they are, sell a lot. Then pair that with a world that operates on MMO logic and, assuming the art is appealing and it has a strong start that pulls people in (like SAO and now Solo Leveling), it'll be a hit. No, I'm not eternally spiteful that these types of things took the spotlight away from .hack, why would you ever say that?

2024-02-05 17:00:22 +0000 UTCI would never dare call this a masterpiece no matter the genre or the target audience, but good for you if you enjoy it.
KaijinGarou
2024-02-05 16:19:08 +0000 UTCit is a masterpiece, but not an anime masterpiece. it's a power fantasy masterpiece, so if you don't like power fantasy you are not gonna like solo leveling.

2024-02-05 13:42:39 +0000 UTCMaybe it isn't trying to be deep but isn't managing to be fun for me either. But fair enough. I was expecting more because I was told it was a masterpiece. I guess people simply don't know what that means and use it very, very lightly.
KaijinGarou
2024-02-05 10:54:12 +0000 UTCIt aint exactly trying to be deep, it's just a shitload of fun is all. Solo leveling sets out to be cool as fuck and look amazing, and that's about it. There's a story, sure, and it's not a bad one per se, but it's not the main reason most people love it. But I get that's not everyone's cup of tea, and that's fine. Just know it was never trying to be what you seem to have expected from it. Anywho, have a great time nonetheless, and I do hope there's something else for you this year!

2024-02-05 07:16:59 +0000 UTCWasn't. Berserk is the only manga I own. I usually jump straight to the anime. I wanted to give it a chance but if that will be the case, I might just drop it now. I'm currently watching Made in Abyss and Dororo as well and boy do they put this to shame. They make me wonder why I'm still wasting my time with it. You can't trust other people's hype...
KaijinGarou
2024-02-05 04:25:51 +0000 UTCIm guessing you weren't that familiar with solo leveling cause this is how the series is from start to finish, had to drop the manwa halfway for better stuff out there
Charlie baker
2024-02-05 03:54:55 +0000 UTCit shows a major fight that hasn't happened yet though?
Ross Lerma
2024-02-04 23:32:10 +0000 UTCI'd suggest trying good writing instead, which is nowhere to be found in this anime so far. The generic look of the MC is a perfect match for the show IMO.
KaijinGarou
2024-02-04 23:11:31 +0000 UTCDamn, author, can you stop riding the cock of your MC for 5 minutes? They sold me this as 2024's best anime and gets more generic by the episode.
KaijinGarou
2024-02-04 23:03:51 +0000 UTC"Too damn fine" and thats the reason why i was questioning my sexuality when reading this manhwa

Casey Mitchell
2024-02-04 22:02:11 +0000 UTCI mean there is no simple way to depict him looking physically stronger without going this route, unless you want to be more unrealistic in the way his new strength shows physically. It ends up looking more generic simply because he has the more stereotypical protag look. Idk, its hard to say how they could have showed that any differently without simply not doing it at all and having the str increase just be more "Magical".

TrinitytheApostle
2024-02-04 17:55:55 +0000 UTCWatch it when you want, but you're officially out of the woods for spoilers in the OP, there's a hint in there but it only really is noticeable to people who've read the manhwa since it references a noteable panel from one of the most hyped early events but you gotta know the event to get anything from it that could "spoil" you.
The Force
2024-02-04 17:27:51 +0000 UTCThere's a very good reason the fanbase from the Manwha dubbed him "Sung Drip-woo"
Azweldin
2024-02-04 17:16:54 +0000 UTCnah just wait there's 1 word im waiting for him to say, and cant wait to see your reaction to it
jim remer
2024-02-04 16:52:24 +0000 UTCI really dislike his new design his one one was cute and more original , this one is just painfully average and super generic. Out of a line up you could pick out Jinwoo now tho just protagonist #162
Big Fuze
2024-02-04 16:47:28 +0000 UTCIt's also really nice for once seeing a relationship where Jinah admires Jinwoo's body without becoming all "brocon" about it (and this comes from me, who likes Irregular at Magic High School as much as I do).

2024-02-04 16:11:54 +0000 UTCBefore the glow up, Jinwoo getting screwed over would be a problem. Now, Jinwoo getting screwed over is a problem... for the ones that screwed him over (he doesn't even phased by the spider boss).
