Don't bother

It's fine, at the start. The quality goes down over time, and it starts to drag, and the plot is all over the place. And then it "ends"!

Nothing is resolved, there's no real ending. It sure feels like it got axed.

So don't bother starting this one, because it doesn't go anywhere and then it stops. Very unsatisfying.

The female character

Her alone makes this worth following. She's typically written as the soft and too easily bossed around type until she finally took her head out of her ass and did the right thing. Thankfully.

What I wanted to note was that her outfits are NOT sexualized. Her poses are not just tits and ass. There's zero jiggle physics. Huzzah!

Even more amazingly her outfits covers her from head to toe. No cleavage, no butt crack, no hips or slit in her (non-existant) skirt from ankle to waist. She wears sensible and NOT skin tight pants. NO. Skin. Showing. Nothing. Except on her hands and face, that's it. Half the time you canNOT tell she's even a woman. Just, so awesome.

Her armor is...pathetic BUT they are not boob armors or manhwa's version of chain mail bikinis.

SHE WEARS COMBAT BOOTS IN ACTUAL COMBAT. What. The. Fuck.

Amazing. All around just so cool. I love it.

Best of all he has no younger or older sister or mother in the hospital. I'm so tired of that cliche. I want little or older brothers now.

EDIT: I've always wondered this but why don't S. Koreans use their own mythology and creatures? Sure, there's the dokkaebi and the imugi that occassionally shows up but the big, religious pantheons are always, and I do meant ALWAYS, Norse or Chinese.

What's up with that? I'm sure Koreans have their own gods and goddesses. Why don't they show up more? Why is the Norse World Tree such a thing in Korea of all places?

Especially this story. Asgard is in S. Korea and members who seem to be ethnic Koreans take on alias's like Baldur, Odin and Haimdall? Really? What happened to Northern Europe that an East Asian country is now taking over their myths and gods?

Like, "The Nile" is the pantheon of Egypt. "Knights of the Round Table" and "Freemasons" are organizations in England and the US respectively. The Japanese have their own and so do the Greeks, some of whom like Athena, seems to be the bad guys here.

Also, I've found exactly one manhwa, despite reading literally hundreds of these kinds of gates/towers/player manhwa and novels, that uses any kind of traditional Korean clothes, handicrafts and so on. That one manhwa is Return of the Frozen Player. The main, powerful, supporting characters all wear some variation of Korean traditional clothes and it looks so freaking cool.

In Chinese manhua and Japanese manga, they always tout their native wares, clothes and customs as superior. Which, I mean, the stories are made by Chinese and Japanese so it should be that way.

Whereas the S. Koreans do not. They write about...dwarves? They have swords that occassionally take on classical Korean weaponry shapes and names but 99% of the time they will be fantasy-based OR takes legendary European weapons instead.

It's so bizarre.

Dudas por seguir leyendo

Al principio es interesante la historia pero es demasiado obvia en algunas cosa sobre ir al pasado, cómo murió el anterior dueño del libro, también te hace pensar cuando el personaje viaja al pasado obtiene otro cuerpo y además habilidades. Dudas si cometerá los mismo errores que el anterior dueño de la libreto, siendo la posibilidad que es el mismo. Cómo dijo el comentario de arriba te hace dudar y parece obvio en algunas cosa, espero que la historia cambie un poco y ver algo inesperado en la historia.

Rant about a mediocre series no one is talking about.

by Altair Silverthorn

Rating: 3.0 / 10.0

OK, this comment is based on the first 5 episodes because I dropped it after that. But I'm leaving a comment because I have a BURNING question that would dictate whether or not I would continue and give this series a chance --yes, I wanted SPOILERS-- but I can't find ANYTHING. No one seems to be talking about this series other than quick off-handed comments or summaries.

So you've got this normal non-gifted guy who wants to change the world. He possesses an autobiography of a long-dead guy who had the gifts to change the world but lost to the bad guys who liked the (awful) world they were making. Then normal non-gifted guy suddenly finds himself transported to the past and is just as suddenly given the exact same abilities as the gifted guy from his book. So is this setup implying he's the same person and he's being given a second chance?

Obviously time travel doesn't bother me, second chances don't bother me-- I would have a real hard time finding very many series to read if either bothered me. So then why does this assumed setup bother me?! I'm not sure? The art is adequate if not appealing. The writing is adequate if not enthralling. The characters were stereotypical and the setting revolving around The Demon King in particular had potential... if it weren't for how unoriginal the rest was (so many comparisons to other similar series pop to mind). I hate to say I'm tired of the overused implied setup when I currently enjoy other series in similar situations but this one just isn't good enough at first glance.
