From The Company:
Gods with everlasting lives.
Sura who possess unrivaled power.
And humans, caught helplessly in-between.

When Kubera’s peaceful village meets its fiery end, a mysterious magician named Asha comes to her rescue—together they begin on a journey in search of answers and revenge. Meanwhile across the realms, a web of entwined fates is growing tighter... One by one the other players of the game will emerge, each with their own agenda to pursue.

At the center of this maelstrom stands Kubera, the girl with a god's name. Will this sixteen-year-old be the salvation of the world... or its destruction?

 One of my favourite series in 10 years of reading manga/manhwa   
Rating: N/A
by Mizura

It's hard to understand what this story is about if you're just skimming over it, so here's my own summary and review:

The story begins as an apparently straightforward fantasy story, as Kubera Leez sets off on a journey of survival and revenge when her village is instantly destroyed. But it soon unfolds as a mystery that brings together a diverse cast of characters, each with their own backgrounds, motivations and values, yet all connected across generations and races through a complex web of friendship, family and deceit.

Through them the story slowly reveals the events that transpired over several centuries, across multiple planets and even realms. Whether it is to protect or reunite with one's loved ones, to seek revenge, to redeem oneself or to save one's declining race, each character, from humans to powerful Sura to the immortal Gods, is targeting the holder of the "Power of the Name." In a billion(s)-year old world where powerful races have existed since the beginning of the Universe, what is the truth behind the events that sent all the races into chaos?

Meanwhile, Kubera Leez tries to form new bonds, unaware that she's become the center chess piece in this "war with no villains, only victims."

Strengths:
  • A diverse and endearing set of characters, where "each character is the protagonist of his own life." All the characters bring their own piece to the plot and evolve throughout the series, with surprising interactions with other characters. And yes, it has great female characters.
  • A vast, interesting world, with complex dynamics between the races (8 Sura races, the Gods and the humans, each with their own alliances and enemies, and individuals with their own conflicting agendas). The truth about the cataclysmic events that occurred in the past is still slowly being revealed.
  • Complex plot told through an unusual narrative model that mixes the present, past events and even glimpses of the future. With each new revelation however, more questions are raised than answered. You'll think you know the whole plot by Chapter 2, but by Chapter 100 you'll be struggling to guess the true motivations of the characters.
  • Yet the cohesive writing never falls into retcon or plot holes: the story was originally planned as a novel, and the consistency of the trail of clues shows that the author knows where this is going. There will be dozens of instances where you'll want to go back dozens, or even over 100 chapters back to find back the clues relating to the ongoing events (I have the equivalent of a 25 page document just to keep track of what was revealed, and in which chapter, lol).
  • It has a great sense of humor. By now you must think that this series is overly dark, but the author's masterful use of comedy keeps the journey fresh and entertaining.
  • The art starts out weak, but improves greatly over time. The characters have great visual designs, and the diverse facial expressions are hilarious.

Weaknesses:
  • Slow pacing, especially at the beginning. The story is about 80% plot and characters, and 20% action, moreso since it takes the time to gradually reveal the past of the characters. This is made worse by...
  • Weekly cliffhangers. They burn. I'm not even joking...
  • You may be disappointed with how little the main character does in Part I, as the story introduces the other characters. According to the author, this story is apparently quite long, so the first 100 chapters serve as a sort of introduction. A lot happens happens in those 100 chapters, but it's easy to miss most of the story if you're not paying attention. (if you don't believe me, re-read it)
  • Story can be confusing to read. If you just plan to spend a few minutes reading it every week, you'll likely get lost pretty soon. If you enjoy piecing together pieces of the puzzle together, however, this series is for you.
  • Art-wise, background art is the author's weakness.


Read it if you like a good mystery. Don't read it if you're looking for weekly action.

 Such a shame

Such a shame there were so many great and interesting characters + awesome plot potential. I really enjoyed the Hindu elements too. However, the pace is painfully slow and sometimes, you have no idea what's going on. Also, the comedy + friendly bantering + Kubera's dimwitedness just dragggg the plot.

Also, what's with the secrets? If it's something that important, just talk to someone and get help instead of dying or starting a massive war?

The beginning is slow, but what makes this series so amazing is that it focuses on multiple characters and portrays their motives and reasons perfectly. A wonderful fantasy story with a good portion of comedy and drama.
The art improves a lot (very average at the beginning) and what's most important are the diverse and likeable characters (though the mc is a dimwit sometimes). Give it a try if you like fantasy.

The art is mediocre at best, and the male character designs look like somebody asked a horny 15 year old girl to draw some "hot, cool guys". Sometimes they looked like extracts from a Deviantart Narutard fangasm.

But the fun storyline and plot more than make up for the iffy art. It's not particularly deep, standard sword and sorcery stuff, but it's really enjoyable.

If you start reading, take note that the first five chapters are weak, but then the story picks up and it's definitely worth your time.

I have this annoying tendency to always try to find out immediately who's the bad guy in the story. But with Kubera, it's so hard! Even though some characters seem evil at first, the reader gets to know them and their backgrond better and they often turn out to having been forced into doing evil things and are only trying to protect their loved ones.

The only two who really seem to do evil things in order to get power are
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Sagara and Kubera (the god)
. But the latter seems so cute... Always petting Leez' Hair and all... I really can't dislike him! And who knows, even the first might have a reason for acting the way she does.

Anyway, I really love the manhwa. It's got everything I love in a story: great worldbuilding, a unique storyline, loveable and diverse characters, character developement, background stories, mysteries, drama and nice art.

Came around to this manhwa by chance and glad I did! This story has such a good storyline so far and it's ADDICTING! biggrin I love how we get to know more about each character's backgrounds instead of just the main heroine. Such a refreshing manhwa smile

Great series that is very addicting, can't get enough. The characters all have backgrounds, most very thorough, some intended to be vague. The new characters as they are introduced are very likable too. Just don't like waiting for the next chapter.

 Fascinating World and Characters

Ahh..I remember the day (not really) when the prologue first appeared, I was a goner. Back then, I didn't know why, but I had this exhiliratingly giddy feeling of something amazing coming my way. And I was right!

What I liked about it is that the author incorporates Hindu mythology (albeit loosely, as the author stated) to Kubera's worldbuilding, but makes it its own. It gets better on later chapters as we are shown more of their world/s structure, lots of character development (literally!) in which we see or get a feel of various undercurrents between characters, their motives and what drives them to do what they do.

I like almost all of the characters, I can understand why some if not most find Leez dumb and annoying especially in the beginning, since she lacks education and experience and we are not informed of her background much.
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
If i remember correctly, she didn't go to school and wasn't allowed to go out of their village until she is 15 or was it 16?
Anyway I'm excited to see her character develop more. That's it for now.

I'm looking forward to part two of Kubera.

I have no idea why i started reading Kubera at first, but i remember thinking it wasn't really anything special. Boy, I was wrong.
I dropped it since it was still pretty new and I decided to read it after more chapters came out. When I picked it up again I was almost shocked at how well the story unfolded. At first I thought the heroine was annoying and the side characters boring and very hard to symphatize. However, the author slowly developed each character making you, as the reader, more and more attached to each one of them. In the end you start feeling that even the furthest side character is deserving of your attention.
The setting gets also explained with time and after reading quite a few chapters you get to see that more than an action story, Kubera is a mistery with elements of action and (for now subtle) hints of romance.
You won't like it if you prefer fast pacing webtoons with easily likeable characters, but you will love it if you enjoy the fusion fantasy genre, a slow story which promises to unfold into something epic and definite but unhurried character growth. The reason for the deliberate speed of the story might be related to the fact that the author first imagined Kubera as a novel.
The art may not be the most revolutionary, but I find Kubera overall so enjoyable that i really don't regret rating it with a 10. Of course, the rating is valid for what was written until now, the comic is still a long way from finished. If the quality changes and the story becomes a real let down I'll be sure to change my small review as well.
