Best Comedy Manhwa OAT

by swordman9

Rating: N/A

I've read many mangas and it's extensions but not one like this. It's totally hilarious where the main goal is to make the reader laugh, laugh and laugh. I loved the plot and the jokes. It is so good.

Great Art, Funny Moments, and Suspenseful Cliffhangers

The manga's art is fantastic, some situations are very funny, the dialogue is well-balanced, and certain chapter endings keep us on the edge of our seats.

I dont like it, but do not haylte it

by MLGSwag

Rating: N/A

The reason why i do not really like it is because mc is an asshole tbh. Which is understanable based on hiw his previous life was and his current resolve to live a carefree life through any means necessary.
I like it because they show despite him being an asshole, he is able to change fate for the better

The manwha is generic in some aspects but overall this is somewhat unique compared to other manwhas I have read

Belly-shaking comedy with notes of redemption

by JakeMertens
10 months ago

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

9/10. It's a comedy manhwa, so anyone's rating is gonna be pretty subjectively dependent on how much they laughed. I laughed a lot.

The protagonist is a lovable ruffian, his best friend an aide-to-camp a dashing hero providing the straight man reactions to the protagonists endless gags.

There are themes of redemption and defying fate to accompany moments of drama interspersed here and there throughout the story - it's not anything that treads new ground but they're nice bitter flavors to break up the sour-sweet flavor profile of what is first and foremost a comedy manhwa.

The story is a bit of an ode to construction workers - by volume it's about 50% action, 50% civil engineering and construction, and of course 100% comedy.

I would say that the art is above average, but the artist's unrivaled mastery of comedic facial expressions pushes an "above average" evaluation firmly into "excellent" teritory.

There are some very adorable pokemon-esque pet characters. The artist seems to have a thing for muscular red-headed women, which is not something you'll catch me complaining about.

Absurd Comedy

by Koneko_Nyaa

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

The MC is more than just a little crazy and has the facial expressions to match.

He's competent. He works hard. He gets things done. But he'll extort a price he feels appropriate, manipulate people to get his way, and screw over his enemies tenfold. All while smiling like a total madman.

Meh

Rating: N/A

Weirdly full of half-baked grievance politics, but fun every now and then if you turn the analytical and empathetic parts of your brain off. Even doing so, it definitely felt to me like this one got over-hyped... it's pretty mid most of the time.

Starts out pretty lame but becomes quite good

by tiankioo

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

I didn't like the beginning. I had to force myself to read; I just didn't understand why this manhwa is one of the highest-rated on the website. The formula of problem -> MC handed something by the system that immediately solves the problem, was terrible. After the first 20 or so chapters, I became hooked and couldn't stop reading.

Despite my praise, I still can't give it higher than a 7 rating. After finishing everything available, it's still too formulaic: problem -> mc starts solving problem -> enemy interferes -> mc defeats enemy and solves problem, with barely any downtime at all before it restarts the formula. While this might be good for keeping people hooked, it's in desperate need of longer slice-of-life moments and breaks from the drama. All of the side characters/protagonists have suffered as a result of the constant action and drama, remaining entirely undeveloped. The setting remains largely unexplored even after 130 chapters. If I read a novel with such flaws, it wouldn't even earn a 5/10 rating from me, and considering this is adapted from a novel, I'm tempted to judge it the same, and I only didn't because despite my criticism it kept my attention well enough that I read 100+ chapters in just a few days.

Hilarious and I hope it gets an anime adaptation

by Zhangorphne

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

I'm honestly not sure how this even has any bad reviews but it just goes to show that a lot of people have different tastes. This is an extremely funny manhua that blends their comedy and serious moments pretty well in my opinion. I will say one of the tropes that I dislike in this is that the main character doesn't understand his emotions very well however it does make sense in the context that they give for his background.
It is similar to almost every slice of life isekai in that while there does seem to be a main story its kinda more background.

Parody of Korean MC

by Joese
1 year ago

Rating: 3.0 / 10.0

Edit.: As all not having a clear goal hurts this series badly and it ends up being boring since it doesn't advance steadily in any of the main plots presented.

MC is outrageous, and he is conscious about it. Normally this isn't enough for me to like a series, but lately there haven't been any original series on the table. This series feels refreshing since it stays coherent to what is introduced and substitutes the usually self centred/righteous monologues of Asian MCs with greed for money (there's no "I need money because mother is in the hospital to then forget the hardship and live a life a life of luxury" or "the villain kicked a puppy now I'll masacre him and his whole family because they are the puppy kicking clan". It isn't one trick pony either, but I won't spoil the fun.

They don't manage to blend his past life to oppose all the drole and you can feel how even the him being an engineer is probably also a parody. All in all the story stays consistent to what is introduced; doesn't try to portray the MC as a genius and the development is are plausible with how the characters act/strategise to what the MC does (they suspect him being a different person, they try to put him to work make jokes/laugh at him ...).

The first time I saw this series I dropped it since I checked out a recent chapter at the time which contained a trope I disliked ( having small different style pets or whatever) and though it would be rather generic. I must say they're still a low point of the story that are only there for convenience, but they're are barely relevant to the story and only serve as an excuse to accelerate the plot. Many other standard tropes are parodied.
