PART 2


Now, the first few chapters where published FIRST on Kakao (KR) then on Piccoma (JP) 4 days later.
BUT, the last chapter was published on Kakao May 4th, 2024 but @SumishiroYukina posted the Link for Piccoma on X (twitter) the 1st of May.... so 3 days prior...
Also, Piccoma is completely unavailable outside of Japan (I used my VPN to access it), so it feels like they only have the license for JP publishing, and Kakao has the rest of the world.

In conclusion: I have no fucking clue.
Artist and sometimes Author are Japanese, it's published in Japanese first now, Asura uses the Japanese publication... so Manga?
Original author of the novel and often author of the manwha/manga is korean, international publishing rights are owned by Kakao... so Manwha?

If I had to pick one, I would choose Manwha because:
- Publication rights for everywhere except Japan are owned by Kakao (KR)
- Original author is Korean and he still works on the manwha
- It's fully colored
- Webtoon format (long pages)
- Story organized in Seasons, and not Volumes
- Can buy chapters by chapters

There you go, hope that satisfies you curiosity...

PART 1

Dude, you've just thrown me into a deep rabbit hole to search for this answer... So:

- This is published on Kakao (Korean Webtoons), but also Piccoma (Japanese Webtoons)
- The original story was penned by Kim Hyeong-jun (Korean)
- Dialogue and rewrite are by YU
- Art is by Cobalt

Original story and publisher are for sure Korean.
It's published in Korean first, but also in Japanese on Piccoma, but like 3 day later.

Sooo... Korean ---> Manhwa...
BUT!!!

YU is actually Utsumi Yuusuke (打見佑祐), a Japanese author...
And Cobalt is Sumishiro Yukina, also Japanese, but woman.

On Kakao, Author is 김형준 (Kim Hyeong-jun written in Korean) and artist is Cobalt.
But on Piccoma, Author is Kim Hyeongjun (written in English) and artist is 澄白悠貴奈 (Sumishiro Yukina in Japanese)

Anyway, I'm pretty certain Asura uses the Japanese publication. Maybe for translators availability.

Here's chapter 1 logo original, in Korean, from Kakao:

Continuing in part 2

Yeah whatever...
I don't understand why Manwhas make a point of establishing a plan when everything always goes to shit on the first second the plan is put into action.

Just show us the thing, and stop wasting our time with pointless chapters like these last few.

That demon kinda looks like a certain SSS Berserker...

Damn.
I tried, I really tried...
But this is pure shit now.
I don't care about any characters anymore, all the per-established rules are useless now and I don't see how this could get interesting anymore.

I know nobody gives a crap, but I needed to vent a bit before dropping this...

No no no.
He's trying to be inconspicuous and discreet.
5.5 million times 3, he'll offer at least 16.5 million!

Because he is dumb as hell, apparently.

Well, It's not a lie.
I thought blondie was trying to manipulate the brother, but he actually told the truth... MC not being afraid of his brother's power without any skills is proof of that.

Oh, I'm not arguing that the end result and goal aren't good.
He still lied, manipulated and blindsided good people to achieve it.

Doing nothing would have been worst, and the MC knows it, but his actions still aren't "good", the results are.

Talking about necessary evil...
Isn't what the MC is doing not just that too?

I mean, he manipulated a good man, with a good moral compass and ideals, to rebel against his family by lying, manipulating events stealthily and using future knowledge to force the Patriarch to make blunder after blunder.

The end goal isn't the same, as the Warrior doesn't have anything to gain personally from this, he really does it all for the good of humanity, but he still did bad things to get a good outcome.

Why tho?!?
Just shut up and don't interfere.
He clearly provoked the King to duel him, and show him that he is the strongest regardless of his level.

What would be the point of her fighting...

This story is getting dumber and dumber.
MC's is destroying entire city districts while trying to be "low key"...
He also buys an item in a black auction house for 3 times its last bid, because reasons...
The Oni is supposed to be 100% loyal to him, but keeps doing dumb shit, even when he specifically asks her not to, and that he would "do something about it".
The demi-god fox monster just got pushed aside by a goblin, like she's nothing.
Penalties seem pretty useless, as a floor 451 BLIND climber who was mid in every way seems to be doing fine on floor 50 against the overwhelming strongest dude possible there...

Everybody is dumb, established rules are constantly ignored, the OP MC is actually not OP at all, new rules are created in the same chapter they are relevant, the story is going nowhere and there's already filler chapters like this one in the first season of the story.

Is this based on a prior work, like a novel, or is the author just randomly taking the story the way the wind blows?!?

Wait, soooooo, we can actually have amazing fight in murim stories that don't look light purple, red or blue flashes everywhere ?!?

This is amazing 😍

This manga as extremely slow releases... soooo, maybe don't fuck up the pacing with useless manufactured drama like these last few chapters.
I feel like having a dying brother for the MC, and a God Gifted one for the religious brother would be enough drama already...

MC hiding his powers, status, abilities and fame from his brother.
Brother hiding his condition from the MC...

Especially when MC confirmed that there wouldn't be much of a negative impact revealing it, and the brother trying to motivate the MC to "fight alone"... it seems... counterproductive.

This is getting messier and messier...
The author seems to forget his own story, ignore his own rules and ignore any connections to reality too.
Crazy dude dressed like a fanatic shows an heroic action by a kid, tells them she's the monster boss, nobody doubts it...
MC completes a quest made by the system to save Erzebet, but somehow fails the quest because... reasons?

And now, you retcon your first fucking chapter... in it, we clearly see the MC protecting his daughter, and dying in the process, and she heard him say he came to protect her, making her mad and sad and all... meaning, who the fuck is that Witch that "crossed dimensions"?!?!? she should be mad at the sword saint, not her father... or herself...

What a fucking mess of a story...

Well, that was utterly pointless.
We got a mass release that ended the side quest with almost no consequences for the main plot.
This killed the pacing for me, I'm kinda losing interest, I hope they pick up the pace in the next few chapters.

I keep skipping chapter until I find the MC in at least 2 panels, so I have no idea what is happening, and I'm really not interested.

I might ask a kind soul to summarize what happened once we are past this BS, but for now, I'll leave my mouse scroll wheel in free roll mode and skip everything.

Did they really use the fireworks trope/cliché... with a gate explosion?!?
Haha, that's new. kinda.

Ahaha... what?!?

You mean, the 13th divinity is actually... himself?
Well, I wasn't expecting this. I'm curious how the story will explain how people can use his "divinity", while the guy himself is clearly not a God... yet at least.

Soooo, is SIlence still trying to hide the fact that she's a woman?!?
Because if she is, she might need to change her new form-fitting psychosuit. Maybe take one that DOESN'T actually look like an hourglass.
