An MC who gets transported to another universe and making friends that is NOT an all-female psuedo harem.
That's it. That's all I ever wanted. I'm so fucking happy. Oh, and MC is hilariously expressive. No Solo Leveling facial copycat here...dude's even got a blunted chin and not a gardening spade for a face!
(What about copying other SL things? 😬)
The pro e-sport gaming aspect of King's Avatar was so damned boring. The live-action made it even worse with their ugly, uninspired CG. Not even casting the godly Yang Yang as Ye Xiu could save it.
Thankfully, this is adequately entertaining. It's not groundbreaking or...I'll admit it...interesting, if you're not into this EXACT mix of rude, arrogant, overpowered MC who's only there to become the best while also gathering his Found Family again.
Best of all? No aggressive, haughty, annoying, pointless, barely dressed woman who constantly shows up and take over valuable screen time or distracts MC! MC is merciless with women, unwilling to play their games.
(Or what male writers thinks women's relationship "games" are like.)
Hopefully, the no-stupid-women thing stays true to the end. So far, as of ch 28, MC is very consistently anti-harem.
YES. Just for that alone I give this a temporary 10!
EDIT: ch 29
just bitch slapped me with a barely dressed female mage.😂 She's pink, perky, loud, but NOT annoying. Also, shockingly, NOT a loli!
!And MC actually acknowledged the embarrassingly low cut of her bra-like top! Wow. MC is not oblivious?!????
No, but wtf is this?! Is this really a shonen manhua? No harem?! And the MC is not a fukboi? MC IS LOYAL TO HIS WOMAN?!! (As of ch. 112 anyway.)
And women have personalities, agendas and agency that doesn't revolve around MC?!?????
That's incredible. Amazing. Ugh.
10/10, my dude.
EDIT II: Oh, damn. Seems the author/writer is hella racist against the Japanese.
Then again, every time I've seen a truly irredeemable, non-recyclable "evil guy" in anime/manga/Japanese IPs it's almost always Chinese. And if it's a Korean IP, the Japanese are 99% of the time, going to be evil.
All 3 East Asian super powers are circle-jerking their hate boners, probably until humanity ends itself.🫤
EDIT III: There's a supernatural pet. A black cat. 😌 Adorable.
It's SSS-class and utterly useless, literally. MC cannot use it because it's description is just for "viewing purposes only".
And with the inclusionof a black cat, it's official for me: 10/10.
