Dying from the wait!!

by epsilon_knot

Rating: N/A

No words for this manhwa...

None of the others can even be compared to this manhwa.

OK , this manhwa is slow in the start but then has so much action from about 30 onwards which more than makes up for the previous wait. If people have read the prequel they will understand what I am talking about. The action sequences are amazing and the characters hot , with an enticing story.

Highly worth the wait but still its killing me!!

Oh god, this manga makes me so anxious for the next chapter, that I'm going nuts. Seriously, it almost sucks your body and soul if you start reading it.
It was a bit slow paced at the start (compared with the prequel), but is getting so awesome latelly, that I literally wait the whole week to read it...
At chapter 40+ It gets so awesome, that I simply forgot how dumb it was at the chapters 10~20 =]

I like quite a few other said, I'm really waiting for something to happen. The Breaker was really good but only really after the first Vol. Vol 1 wasn't good but it picked up in Vol. 2. Hopefully it'll do the same. It's annoying about Shioon at the moment and hopefully that'll sort itself out. But I would still read it, I'm sticking with it 'cause I really want to know whats gonna happen. Read the Breaker and if you like that read this. I really like the way the plot is going with him not getting his power totally back but only partly and he old mindset is there too. But it's starting to look like it will have exactly the same basic plot as The Breaker.
EDIT: Yes, it's got basically the same plot. and the same, Shioon wont back down get beaten up then amazes the other guy.

Good second part, with a few big flaws

by ExcelionYogi
5 months ago

Rating: 8.6 / 10.0

This is a review I'm writing after re-reading the first 2 parts to start reading part 3. I've read this for the first time like a decade ago.

To start, the art of this Manwha is spectacular. Several times I wondered how it could be a weekly series. Action is amazingly portrayed and it's easy to follow. The story, while having a decent pace, is not as good as the first part, due to a few flaws (no spoilers):

-Authors decided to pull out two deux ex machina, one for the main plot point of this part, and, while it was explained eventually, left me unsatisfied. The other for MC development, which makes the main plot point of the first part almost irrelevant. -Authors explain that "New waves" is due to the new, young characters appearing in this part, but OG characters, that were relevant to the story in part 1, are almost deleted, making them almost irrelevant for the overall story. The new characters are good, but it would have been good to mix both

This part suffers A LOT of "character is about to lose but something unbelievable happens last second and the day is saved" trope. It happened less on part 1. Overall is a decent-good martial arts series, with decent characters, but it suffers from being a sequel to one truly great series.

PS. I have a personal vendetta against the Authors to leave us without part 3 for almost a decade

Good but slow

i enjoy i feel it is sometimes drawn out battles but whatever doesn't bother me that much also i do like how it goes more i depth into the murim world than the prequel which i like. A lot slower compared to the prequel and until i see the end of the breaker new waves i will not say which i better.

I mostly hate strong willed protaginest because the reason there strong willed is for protecting their friends now i don't mind that but when that is their only reason and there god damn catch phrase i will protect my freinds is boring. But with Shi-woon it is diffrent he protects his friends but he isn't strong willed because of that, his master gave him advice to turn from a coward into never giving up character even if it isn't for is friends and just for pride and honor."SPOILER" Like when he challenged ghostly doc because he was protecting the pride and honor of sunwoo.

Milking success from prequel.

by cakeland

Rating: N/A

The Breaker, hands down, was a good story. However, the author seems to enjoy milking the series now instead of actually making a sequel.

If you enjoyed The Breaker for its story, do not read this.

Inferior but still great

by MatrixM

Rating: 8.5 / 10.0

The first series was very fast-paced, one thing after another. This one is in it for the long haul.

I'm not among those who say it's crap until he can use some form of martial arts, I still thoroughly enjoyed it before then.

But it's definitely a step-down. E.g Shion's been building a little harem, kinda like the authors are trying to cater to a larger audience. The art style itself is more...childish. (also I'm very confused as to what his current relationship with Saehee actually is....>.>)
And it seems strange when you consider Nine Arts Dragon's fight against that guy witht hat fist technique, you kinda wonder where all the high-level practitioners are coming from.

Great Series

by Nazeh

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

New Waves picks up right where The Breaker ended but in my opinion its just not as enthralling as the first series--its still great, don't get me wrong. The fights are all drawn very well and many of the characters are likable. The protagonist, Shi-Woon, has the kind of personality that makes you want to see him progress as much as you want him to win (kind of like a Naruto type character). The story moves along at a decent pace but it does slow down a bit at times. All together though, a manga worth following.

Got to admit the first season was unique, the second is good too
there's just the fact that every chapter ends with a cliffhang,

anyway the manhwa has a great community of fans on facebook "the breaker [manhwa]"

My personal favorite

by rob1berry2
14 years ago

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

Out of all of the Manhwa/Manga/Comics that I have read my absolute favorite has to be this one. The reason being that the author has a unique approach which would cause others to view this manhwa negatively. It is something that you either hate or love.

The characters are like-able and their individual character-arcs are intriguing. Watching them grow and mature is one of the many reasons why I like this manhwa.

I must warn whoever reads this by stating that it is terribly slow in terms of action scenes in an attempt to create build-up. This occurs in both the prequel and The Breaker New Waves. However that very complaint actually is something that makes this so brilliant. By having long-periods of time without action there is a certain flow that is present that is like no other.

I would most definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys reading and/or manga.
