So I bumped into a new series while going down the rabbit hole with no description. Cover art and title was interesting so I read a few.
Standard setup and back story. Might be interesting to see if anything unique stands out…
Then it kept jumping forward. The story progressed way too fast.
I realized it was a manhua.
I don’t know why but there’s always so much happening so fast it’s hard for me to digest it all that I end up dropping it.
What are your thoughts?
Other manhua I’ve dropped:
-
Versatile Mage
-
My Wife is a Demon Queen
-
Monster Pet Evolution

There are only so many stories that make me feel satisfied.
This is one of the reasons I enjoy reading Solo Leveling. It’s not a groundbreaking story at all. But its a clean and short read.
I’ve started to get more into LNs since you get all the world building thats cut out in adaptations.
My Wife is a Demon Queen was interesting to me since the MC is sort of powerless, but with the power of creativity and drawing he’s strong. I like crafty sort of stuff with creation as a driving force. Legendary Mechanic is on my to do list.
Look into Overgeared. The LN is crazy long and its a slow build up but the author warns you that the MC is a piece of crap that evolves as the story goes on. It really started to get good about 200 chapters in. The story got picked up for Manwha adaptation. They did a decent job with it!

If you liker bastard, give Swet Home a go, it’s from the same author and the vibe has a similar-ish eerines.
Also,as a general recommendation that I’m reading and enjoying right now:
Black knight: kinda decent vibe to it. I reincarnated as a legendary surgeon: yes, I know, isekai bs, but the story progresses in an organic way for now and the MC is likeable. The return of the crazy demon: it might not be up your alley but the entire pretext is that the MC is actually kinda crazy so I do enjoy binging 5-6 chapters from time to time.

It’s not only you. There’s too much text in Manhua in general. Not saying Manga/Manhwa aren’t guilty of this but I have seen this occur in Manhua more. The MCs don’t stop yapping whatever the fuck about power system and what not. It’s like they don’t understand how to write without having their characters talk in multiple paragraphs. I guess this is why Chinese Novels have thousands of chapters. I have less Manhua in my library compared to other two. I probably read them since I was too bored to find something good
I’m reading Isekai, Tower-Climbing, Gates etc trashy comics because it’s mindless fun and easy to read not the opposite.
Yeah I didn’t even mention the word dumps…
If I wanted to read a novel I’d be on a LN damnit.
You get tired fast. I use a tablet to read and if I gotta zoom in every other page to read the loredumps that’s annoying.
Not to mention topic hopping and blasting through content. I’d prefer if they pick an event/topic and flesh it out.
Instead it’s something like: (my actual recap of this demon cage)
I’m sick.
Can’t afford surgery. Only have 30k
New game to make millions?? Cost 30k. Buy…
Play. Oh! Body feels good. Use martial arts. Win big. Get strong.
New person. Make friend. Buy my loot. Good.
New mission! Succeeded! That was hard. Crazy detective story with crocodile boss. I kicked its ass. (Seriously. Dude goes on a mission and it gets like 3 or 4 panels…)
Sell loot. Same guy. New mission! Escort. Party with same friend! Ok go! RICH PRINCESS!!
Etc…
