What happened? a weird time skip? massive tone shift?

Man hit him with an 18 hit combo and ended it with a spinning heel like Lion's barrage

That's that trademark manhua writing, no matter how big the circumstances get every single villain acts like a schoolyard bully with Rich parents, none of them are charismatic they're hardly ever memorable, and they're basically just there to get a flexed on.

Oh no his disciple and those two Fox spirits raped the shit out of his main body whenever he was in his clone.

As an aside this is the 4th or 5th series I've read from China where the main character being raped while unconscious has been played as a gag, it's happened enough times at this point that I'm going to consider it a trope and I don't know why it is a trope.

By my count, the only girl in his immediate vicinity that isn't a rapist is black haired wife and green haired wife, and he's been raped at least four separate times but if we consider the time frame and the zeal of some of his rapists it could have been potentially hundreds of times.

How many times is this man gonna get raped while unconscious, Why is this a trope?

Really wish they would space out these #CharacterMoments so that they would feel like part of the plot instead of feeling like stalling the plot, especially when so much time passes between chapters and the last couple chapters have felt like tapdancing next to a cliffhanger.

If I had a nickel for every time I've read one of these Chinese series and the male main character has been raped while unconscious and it's been played for a gag, I'd have like 20-25 cents, why is this a trope.

Wait are they raping him while he's in his clone? what the f*** are they doing to his main body?!

I appreciate one of these series that has a king that feels kingly, like he's not blinded by greed with the lust for power, or a man that's ruled for several decades while simultaneously not being able to stop the basic political machinations of the main character or even grasp them. He's just an old man that can see the way the world is going and is far too tired and far too weary to do anything alone anymore. really personifies "heavy is the head that wears the crown"

And just like that back to -999

It's more like he pulls a Clark Kent, a Kent Clark, a Klark Cent, a Cent Klark, a Kal-el, an El-Kal, a Kel-al, and an Al-kel, all without changing anything on his face except maybe taking off glasses, putting on a monocle putting on a hoodie and maybe a top hat. I can only suspend the disbelief so far.

Well a lot of places have Netflix, I mean both of those series are foreign to Americans but they were still incredibly popular in America.

I've never understood how this man has like a dozen something secret identities that are all incredibly famous even though the only time I've seen him actually change his appearance for an identity was in the first chapter and that was when he wasn't playing one of the famous people. Man just puts on a top hat and is like I"I'm a criminal mastermind now" or just puts on a hoodie and is like "I'm an assassin now" and somehow no one but the genius detective has cracked this.

Yeah that's kind of my problem with this whole genre of manga, very rarely do they try to make the villains interesting or developed or give them any kind of motivation other than "because they're evil" and while that is enough for a John wick movie to be fun, for something that could span potentially dozens of chapters, I'm going to need more than that. Like seriously 34 people got together to burn down a house and kill one little girl "For the lolz" that is some death cult s*** and I'm going to need an explanation on how that became a thing that was possible in a modern society without any negative repercussions.

Being fully caught up on it I can say it certainly has a similar energy to gintama, but is a little less absurd, and if I had to describe the series this series sense of comedy most reminds me of it would actually probably be saiki K,

This guy's like hisoka but if he just outright said it, instead of just being really creepy and vague about what he wants.

Tell me about it, when they started mentioning the shinsengumi I was looking at them with a checklist, and gintama is the sole reason I know any of their names.

Please fall for her and ditch your awful shitty crush
