Zihvuda's Manga

I've almost dropped this story a number of times. I get bored and just as it gets to the point where I'm almost ready to give up, the story picks up. The most compelling aspect I think is the revenge. Younger twin dies, leaves behind a diary that somehow makes it to the older twin, and older twin chooses murder- I mean revenge. Revenge murder. Anyway, the story feels like the author wasn't sure what they were doing at the beginning. At one point it almost seemed like they were writing the story as if the first twin had reincarnated rather than leaving diary entries in a watch behind. Also it was very unclear as to how much info was in the diary to begin with. Like i thought what was shown in the initial exposition sequence was it, and was very confused when mc knew about and talked about things that were not included in that sequence. At time I thought he knew waaaay to much about the world, that the brother would have had no reason to write about all that in his diary. There's a love interest that I'm not particularly down with, although they themselves don't actually do anything bad. The girl isn't allowed to fight or anything though. It's implied she's very strong and stuff, but she never fights, or we never see her fight. Which annoys me, cause she's supposed to be a warrior martial artist. <_< The action isn't depicted particularly well through the art, I'm often confused what's happening and sometimes the action is skipped altogether so the artist doesn't need to draw it. This changes somewhat in the later chapters, but there it seems to devolve into lots of lazer firing. I wanna see mc kill all of his brother's murderer's but it's pretty slow going. Also I don't understand why mc bothered going to that world, he'd given up looking, thinking the twin had abandoned them, and just decided he didn't care. Mc's mom died, some years later the brother's stuff makes it to him, and he decides to just go off into the fantasy world. In a way it does make sense, but in another I don't understand why he ended up caring. It would have been nice seeing mc resent his brother, grieve, but ultimately come to this decision of going up the tower. A lot of the thought bubbles are weird too, it keeps containing narration, which is weird since it's supposed to be mc thinking about things. It's very odd. The translation ranges from passable to good, but yeah weirdness with the narration being in the wrong place and speech bubbles that issue from characters who aren't the ones actually speaking. This could be better, and the artist and writer need better communication so the art can actually depict the story better.
All in all, meh... it's alright, give this story a go if you wish. It may be better to just read the novel though. Unless the translation for the novel is dog shit.

This is the story of a guy who's borther dies. Because of his abilities in this game like world he gains power and is able to defeat the monster that killed his beloved little brother. The item he receives for the kill is used to turn back time, and from there mc's adventure really begins. The mystery aspects of the story are introduced slowly, but are extremely compelling. The characters are all likeable, but at the same time they grow to be so many that it's starting to feel like too many characters to keep track. I liked the beginning because there was a lot of wholesome hugging, and there's less of it now. I want more, though I don't know exactly why, but I want more wholesome hugging. Mc's kind of traumatized but it's not really followed through on that much, and there's one real abusive relationship which is initially treated pretty seriously, but then sort of brushed aside a little. Still the story is too interesting to really care about that too much, at least for me. There's some morally grey stuff, although some aspects of that, while addressed, aren't fully explored. At least not yet, there's definitely room to get into that, which keeps things interesting potential-wise. I adore the beast tamer aspect of the story, although I would have liked more time with the unicorns. But that's just me. There's barely any unicorns in fantasy webtoons and I find that a bit sad. Would be nice if they were as common as dragons. Anyway, I digress. The translation is good, the art is great so I recommend giving this story a go.

This was pretty interesting.The protagonist is flung into the world of a dating sim, and she actually can't do much at first but function as the game wants her. It's actually pretty great. The character dynamics are really good and the relationship development between the characters and the way some parallel the mc's actual(?) or previous(?) life is also super cool. The angst is delicious and the triumphs are so worth it. The fear of dying is real and well explored, and the comedy is great! This has been one of the few manga to actually get me to laugh out loud, which takes a lot. Really liking the story so far, although the fact that the dating sim the mc is in has the mc's 2 brothers positioned as potential lovers is kind of squick. Even though they aren't even related by blood to mc, it's still problematic for me. Thankfully the MC isn't even remotely interested which is nice, but still, the way their points wrack up in certain scenes is something i have to actively make myself ignore. It's still a great story! Would definitely recommend!

There's like 1 or 2 chapters that aren't translated well at all, and they did almost make me drop the story, but thankfully the competent Asura Scans took over, and I was able to go back to enjoying the story. Really hope this continues to be translated by a group like Asura Scans who's english is this good.

Good story so far, no annoying love interests, no harems, none of that shit. Intriguing plot and fun interesting characters. The pacing is pretty great too, and so far nothing has out stayed it's welcome.
Now the art... it's good for the most part, beautiful even, however there is one failure, and that's older or old people. They look like crap, the wrinkles don't look like they organically belong on their faces, it just looks bad. Which is a shame cause the rest of the art is really good, but every time an old person is drawn their face just looks hilariously shit. (☞ ಥuಥ)☞
