English is not my first language so sorry if my grammar is a mess.
I started reading GotW when the very first few chapters was uploaded on a certain famous manga site. It was still a fan translation back then. That time, webtoons like this was not known, and as of this day, GotW bites the dust and I'm happy the ordeal ended and sad cause it had a potential to be better yet the author might not have seen it.
This webtoon started out strong. MC went to a former all girls turned coed school. He has issues, so it may annoy you at first, but don't worry, he'll have his fair share of character development.
This webtoon at first had a good balance of action and romance.. AT FIRST.... Sadly, author destroyed that balance by focusing more into the romance aspects(KDRAMA type of romance) of the plot which ruined the character development of the MC, which made the plot bad. It's like author got hooked into a kdrama series while in the middle of writing this and decided to introduce more romance and the result was awful. The fighting was gone for a lot of chapters, then author tried to insert an action scenes out of nowhere cause ya know, romance. It felt forced. After so many chapters, we got this half baked action scenes.
I have 3 reason to believe that this was axed because: First, the author ran out of ideas and is quite noticeable on chapters 200+, the drama was so heavy that it ruined further the mc's development on the beginning. Second is the last 4 or 5 chapters in naver was rated 3 or 4 starts consecutively for weeks. Yes, even the korean readera got fed up with the forced drama that happened at the end and this never happened to the series until author maybe secretly hated the MC, so author decided to fucked the MC further to the point of making the MC look stupid in the sense of "where the fck is your common sense?". Lastly, author went nuts.
If you asked me if i would recommend this series, then my answer ia YES and NO. Why? Yes because it started out great, had a good pacing of the story in like the first 100 chapters or so, and NO because you will be wasting your time if you don't like the blend of action and roman..- i mean heavy drama.
If you want to read this out of curiosity, i would advise you to stop reading it after the tournament arc, cause it went downhill so fast in just few chapters after the tournament arc, you'd realize you will be wasting your time if you force yourself to read this anymore.
It so sad that the author Introduced some characters that me and other readers believed If those characters had more screentime and got utilised properly in the story, it would make the webtoon better, sadly Those characters, especially best girl Wushu Girl, who has a potential to be a great character, was instead became a comic relief and author has forgotten her existence.
and a lot of characters who was prominent in the early arcs, was forgotten and the story focused on the romance of MC and girls for like 200 chapters. Imagine how dragged out the story became.
The ending was bland. Tho i noticed a lot of readers was glad it ended. That's how bad it became. Lol
If you want a good romance action/sports webtoon, then I'd recommend Green Boy.
