This story is actually fairly well written despite most people saying GOH stopped being good after the first or fifth season subjectively however I digress as the story got much better in the final season. The only main issue I have is that it drags on certain plot points which makes the story feel dull at times especially when it focuses on characters or events that aren't that interesting

I like this manga. It isn't something I would usually read and have tried to begin countless times but was hooked and now I love it. I think it has a plot, though confusing as all hell sometimes, but lets face it, I think the fighting and how they portray it is new (to me at least) and for that I still enjoy it. I love the art and the characters. What else is there to love about a manga?

I love this manhwa! Some people complain about the plot and I get it. People drop dead and there's this weird magic. You're not sure what's going on, but that's part of the fun since you're going from the tournament fight's POV. The explanation does come later (not all of it, of course) and it blows you away. The fight scenes get better. At first I thought it was a random selection thing between the winner and the loser so that the reader doesn't completely know who's going to win or not. It could still be, but once the big plot is revealed, the tournament doesn't seem to matter. Or the author could bring it back up. Currently, it's amazing.

Honestly few mangas have good plot twists and this one I just had to read it, ao is good entertainment for people during covi times.

In the beginning I thought this would be an amazing martial arts series. But then it dwelled into the ridiculous. People fighting with cards, swords, and monsters that basically materialized out of thin air. The plot is non-existent. This series had a lot of potential. Not anymore.

There were so many twist plots that which were almost same that it started feeling repetetive and I think even before midway someone didnt know at what direction plot should go. Twists intruduced so much confusion that it was very hard to read at the end.

This is just another one that you can easy say:
"How we got to this point?"
The afterword of the Author is a confession about how he "missed the point" and how he felt about the readers reactions, to me that was like a "Sorry, but thanks for reading until the end."
11 Years is really a long time to invest in a single job, this author tried, failed hard and tried to repair his lost way, sadly too late.
I can fell empathy for this Author, even if I feel that can't recomend this Story, at least he tried until the end and confessed his fault.
We can see others authors who don't care about who is reading, don't care about time or just finish without at least try a better ending or feel sorry about us (the readers).
6/10 for the Story and 9/10 for the Author for giving at least a better example about how this relation is important for both.

I'll keep this short, so anyone who is about to start this can get my two cents.

This manhwa starts off good, and entertaining. A concept of a bunch of people having a martial arts competition with unique skills. If the author kept the main focus on the tournament throughout the series, it would have been average. Although somewhere along the way, the author decided to take a sh*t and start bringing it to life. Just because the sh*t becomes alive, doesn't mean it still isn't sh*t. It is just living sh*t.

There is no real growth in how the characters get stronger. They just get stronger... or something...? If you hate power curve inconsistencies then this series is not compatible with you at all. Even if you can forgive power curves and plot holes, and a giant train wreck series... Still don't read this.

tl;dr - Fairly interesting at the beginning, then it just falls in to the pits of despair.

This is a good manga but I'm only going to write why I won't recommend it,so this is for someone trying to decide whether to start 'God of Highschool' ,if u like & dislike the same things as me u can make a decision by the end of my comment ....

so,If you complete this manga u won't feel any regret for reading it but if have read some other good manga by now u will find that GoH lacks 1)LOGIC (I know every fantasy action lacks logic bit in GOH the characters who are seen engaging in a fight with martial arts suddenly use godly powers which is ok but in later chapters the godly powers, regeneration,back from dead are 'free real-estate' i.e no explanation-coz we can't understand when/who is capable of using these powers & when/why they can't use them), 2)Consistency and 3)Solid backstory development of characters & their capabilities.

Also except for the main characters you will find some characters (who greatly influence the storyline or very powerful) suddenly pop-up in the story & never appear again. And the repetitive cycle/story/plot is another minus & u can guess exactly how's the climax going to be but still have to read the last 270(2....7....0..) chapters (stretched but good enough to skim over once...i liked them) just for the sake of completion, or if u don't want to waste your time directly skip to climax chapter(562) probably after chp-(305/306).

I started by giving this manhwa an 8 considering the shounen genre and great art. Unfortunately, as the manhwa continues the story deteriorates. The plot jumps all over the place and it's disorientating to readers who have to wait for it to update from week to week. The characters are likable, but rather bland and generic. Although they have back stories, it feels rather cliche. A fault I find within the manhwa is that the reasons for some of the fights are incoherent and questionable at times...It draws away from the immersion of the story. The art is pretty great though. It is consistently good-looking with great character designs.
As I grew up with Journey to the West and Chinese culture I feel I am a bit biased towards liking it.
