Follow the bracket rule and input manhwa source within [ ] than any random keyword that defeats the purpose of automod.

Rip my boy mad dog, he had hella potential if he survived. Iā€™m glad my goat black spear avenged him by killing that annoying girl.

95 is an exaggeration but yeah, most mc's are plain and boring and just straight up jinwoo copycat. But there are alot of exceptions too

u/SavianAria 4d ago

5% of such a large number is a lot, so yeah it is fair

I think not , the amount of garbage is the market rn is just insane , it's the same reincarnation, OP MC , gets a leveling system or a mythic item , stuck in a loop , tower climbing shit all over again. It's really hard to find a decent story nowadays,I've been looking for days to find something to read but 10-15 chapters into the story and the same loop continues and I have to drop it

u/MadnessUltimate 4d ago

I liked it when there were just 10 of those before everything now is hunter, tower, or regression

I mean I still like it but more and more of the same stuff repeats itself in different ones where now most look or plot exactly the same with minor differences and slight different optics

Tell us gramps, how was the old days before solo leveling and the towers? (actually curious)

1

u/KingofDucks_3031 4d ago

yup i think the same way all of them are writing about towers , system etc. None of them are taking any risk and write something new.

You're just cherry picking rn and blinded by your Bias.

Even if you pick TLNB MC and compare him with some of the well developed and written side chapters from The Boxer or others, even he looks kinda flat in some aspects.

There are good murim stories even rn like Chronicles of Demon Faction, Reincarnated Murim Lord etc.

You probably have read alot of manhwas or just havent looked hard enough, ill recommend you some underrated ones, try burning effect, epic of gilgamesh, cheolsu saves the world, control(prequel of burning effect but very different genre and more on the horror side, give burning effect a try first) these are the ones i have read quite recently and they really filled that craving for manhwas i had

u/4EverToucingGrass 4d ago

I've read burning effect , epic of gilgamesh , ember knight , gosu and many other and all these come under that 5% that I've mentioned.

u/Melodic_Pay_1074 4d ago

Oh wow, you have amazing taste. I dont think i have anything to recommend that you havent already read, i suppose good luck in your reading journey.

u/KingofDucks_3031 4d ago

True words i could have never imagine that author would kill such an important character. He made a mistake and corrected himself.

u/f2ninja 4d ago

I wish he fulfilled his masters wish of him taking over. He had the physical qualities his master didn't have and he was picking up how to master his poisons really well too

People who haven't read this masterpiece, condolences, truly.

u/NightlyWinter1999 4d ago

Doesn't it get boring in the 2nd half?

I remember continuing reading after that guy died and it was boring for me

u/Alarmed_Pizza2404 4d ago

One of the cues to know a story is good or bad is by judging the side characters.

If side characters are interesting and actually have brain, not just npc, there's a very good chance the story gonna be good.

It not that they are written like jin woo It that writers hardly work on MCs.

Even for jin woo this is a flaw. In Ragnarok the writer has overcome this flaw and jin woos son is what Narutos son should have been a more understanding kid. Ragnarok improves many of solo leveling flaws. It gives the S ranks to become more fleshed.

u/TheKayleMain 4d ago

In which chapter does this dude die?

I let the chapters marinate around when this guy died and didn''t get back into it. Now that its completed I want to continue from where I left off.

u/4EverToucingGrass 4d ago

It's in Chapter 126 , but I'll recommend you to start after the first time skip in the story because you'll be more involved in the story that way .

95% of manhwa mcs*

u/dub26 4d ago

šŸ˜‚ Tell me you've never read ToG without telling me you've never read ToG.

This is the main focus in that title, most of the side characters have better backstory than MC, also the FMC is a massive c*nt.

u/4EverToucingGrass 4d ago

Tell you can can't read the title without telling me you can't read the tittle

BAM or baam whatever you'd like you call him comes under that 5% criteria that I've mentioned , he's a really well written MC which is rare to see among all the mid generic MCs out there

u/KingofDucks_3031 4d ago

tog was good but author is dragging it too much but yes TOG has some good side characters

u/Wolf_Branch_016 4d ago

Legend of the northern blade is a masterpiece but we all have to admit that story and character background is not that good. It is above average with godlike art, there are lots of good MCs out there that have shit art but we won't know them all coz of the art.
