Zhou Fan is like "I dooooooooooooooooooon't care."
His fan is like "yeah, he doesn't care, so I will also not care." This fanboy's faith in him is very nice. lol

Here comes the DRAGON!

Spectre: "I AM THE LAW" lol

So, the flaw this round table of idiots are failing to see is simple: WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO ABOUT IT?

The reason a group like that holds power is because they literally hold power -> as in "if you don't accept, we're gonna GET YOU!" Legally speaking, if you reject/refuse to obey a judge's sentence, they'll send people after you; people who are stronger than you and are armed and dangerous.

Go back to the flaw: WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO ABOUT IT? What chance do they have against the Five Heroes? Not to mention that half the Nine Heavens are on the side of the Five Heroes.

Let's assume otherwise: even if they can force the five heroes to put their heads down, the question becomes "for how long?" Ya'll had an entire 25 year catch-up period with an entire second and even third floor (barely accessible, but still) and you're barely ahead of them. They'll catch back up and be the strongest five in the world just like before.

Reminder: currently, I haven't read the novel this far. I'm just yapping on my own. lol

I haven't continued reading the novel, nor have I progressed in my comments here either... don't ask me. /shrug

I don't think it was confirmed... was it?

That's a lot of bugs. Absolutely gross!

His "clone" was formed there, right?

I'm pretty sure Mr. Main Character is worried about floor 18.

Hi. Random person chiming in with a "GET A ROOM YOU TWO!"

Otaku Chad, aka Mr. Oxymoron username, there is always sincerity in the "WON'T ANYONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN" argument and you can easily come off as having well intentions for the kids, but you're never gonna succeed in any conversation when you go around slapping the "you're a groomer/pedophile" remark in people's faces. That's an attack, NEVER a joke and attacks are not a conversation.
I started with you because you attacked first and you haven't stopped attacking. "If you're answer is yes, at least be honest about the position you're defending." You are not arguing in good faith. You've already branded him with the WORST possible outcomes <- which is wrong. If your starting point is wrong, then the results are wrong too.


noa, aka "mr. i can't capitalize letters in my username" username, you're not wrong that the method that's being used now is just plain predatory on people's privacy. The internet's privacy is in danger along with the capabilities of using free speech on the internet is on a steady decline. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut is it actually useless? Low efficiency isn't zero percent, so no. Fact is: some kids have avoided meeting a predator and that's something... as small as it is. Do we need a better system? Yes.
The real question is: should we stop with what we're doing? Who knows? Not me.

If you ask me, THE real solution to protecting kids is the same as ever: actually have parents actually do their freakin' jobs as parents.

Now, cease and desist. Go on and have a nice day.

ONE MORE THING!

Reze.
I did not watch the movie so keep in mind it's been like 100 chapters and a few years now,
but wasn't a big part of her shtick is that she is similar to Denji? As in, she pulls a rope of sorts to transform into a devil and fight? Well, without Chainsawman fusing with Denji in the first place -> would it ever happen to her? So like, she probably uh... lived a normal life? or died already? I dunno. :X
I just stating this here: I think that she didn't become a partial-devil like Denji because Denji didn't become one either.

Also, a secondary thing: obviously Death came back or else insects would've ruled everything. lol

What a wild ride. I'll have to reread the last uhh... bunch chapters or something to try and piece together any resemblance of sense this ending was making itself out to be.

Based on what I just read... this is what I think:
Chainsawman ate himself, therefore he ceased to exist. Therefore, again, anything he ate (and ceased to exist) never got devoured by him in the first place. It's been over 100 chapters and many years, but this includes Power too, right? Though, in her case, it's less "devoured" and more "fed herself into him to save his life" or something? I really has been a long time.

Anyway, this reset a lot of things BUT time did march on and certain events came to be. Makima is dead but Nayuta... well, she was beheaded - and injury we've seen Denji bounce back from -> but with Chainsawman no longer existing, I guess she never got attacked or something? She simply became the successor to Makima, seeing her position and what she's up to.

Chainsaws still exist but I guess people aren't terrified of them. Remember: devils form when people fear something enough and yeah, chainsaws are terrifying but they haven't reached Chainsawman levels (yet? maybe?) I'm assuming this is because of trees since we, humans, gotta cut down trees. Undo the invention of the axe, saw and even the chainsaw and behold as we reinvent them pretty quickly because... well, we're humans! lol
Hmm... what else? With enough time and fear of chainsaws developing, perhaps another future chainsaw devil can come to exist but that's another point for another time.

If I have a question is: "WHAT YEAR IS IT?" When Power first appeared, it was around the time Denji was being ambushed by the jerks around chapter 1 or 2. Before that, wasn't he in a little shack? in the middle of the forest?

There are some time shenanigans going on... and somehow, I think Denji is going to enjoy his life a bit more because he won't be nearly as important (Chainsawman's existence was the crux of so many events and Denji is no longer that entity so he can't be that important anymore) and might just survive to be "fear the old man in an occupation where people die young" or maybe he'll die young? Won't be an easy life but I think he'll do fine.

Will there be a part 3? I dunno.

I do want to add this spoiler here, it is not super important,

but our Ms. Main Character gets to meet the actual villainess. She is the epitome of "Yeah. I'm bad. I don't care." Unapologetically being the villainess without any concern over it is the epitome of her character and in a way, it doomed her to her place in the original plot -> but in a way, it's so cool. lol

It isn't exactly typical but I will say that it is almost typical - the epilogue gives up and just says:
https://i.postimg.cc/yd5bcTMM/i.png
So, there's this character who is the cause of all the problems in the world; a "villainess" if you will. Ms. Main Character gets isekai'd and slapped into this villainess's role -> only to discover some horrifying realities about the lore.

The manhwa's lore features the Ms. Main Character and the Villainess (Our Ms. Main Character is the Villainess). These two have things in common:
1) Both of them are victims of abuse
2) Both of them get "rescued" by the Duke's family
and 3) they're both used to contrast each other.

The isekai world is a novel that our Ms. Main Character read before dying. She knows how things turn out in the end and a lot of details leading up to it - but because the Ms. Main Character of the novel isn't the villainess, a lot of events that occur only for the villainess aren't really known.

The world itself has its rules: the original's author's demands are the original plot and well, we all know what happens down that path, no? Our Ms. Main Character has to go through this hostile situation where her life is in danger and figure out how to escape the original author's intention.

I was hoping for nice plot twist, tbh. I thought up of some interesting explanations -> all of which would've been a bit more interesting than the end result. Oh well /shrug

Do I recommend this? Yeah. It's pretty good.

Aka: Revenge on the Real One
Did you know that abusing your children is bad? Ms. Main Character is an abused child. She desperately wants her mother's approval while her dad is a sad sack of rotten potatoes and hedgehog quills so he may as well not exist other than to cause problems like the major one: Helga and Hyllian; see chapter 1.

I'll be honest, the whole debacle over this detail is the front and center of this manhwa for the first half of the runtime. It works pretty well but theeeeeeeeeeeen in the back half, it falls by the wayside and it loses most (not all) of its impact. It seems to come off as pathetic more and more - we're still rooting for Ms. Main Character, don't get me wrong -> but it culminates in an explanation so pathetic that I didn't even find it funny.

With that said, what does this have anyway? Well, a big part of this manhwa is time. Time marches on and while some people have their wounds fester and lead to other problems, most people have their wounds heal up. Ms. Main Character, despite everything, has come out of the other end with tremendous growth and a place to be and belong. Her main love interest followed her right along that path. Still, they're not completely healed; some scars do remain where the wounds once were. The problematic people, on the other hand, had their wounds fester and spread horribly across almost all other aspects of their lives.

This is where the aforementioned "explanation" pops up and like... I guess? Hmmm... bleh.
Still, you don't read this for that specific thing. You read for everything else. It's a long journey and a lot of things happen. One thing being "bleh" doesn't ruin the other things on the journey.

The ending, on the other hand, is important and can ruin the journey leading up to it. On that note: there is an overarching plot, a big bad evil guy and all that jazz and it gets resolved pretty well. I enjoyed all that. There is a lack of outright violence - other than the war - which excuses the premise of "Why not just kill the problematic person already?"

Also, we have this character which starts off as "kinda there" but reminds everyone her position in the plot wasn't randomly handed out and almost singlehandedly carries the plot at some points:

Good stuff over all.

The status is "ongoing" but it is completed.

Ya know how cats are absolutely adorable and some people make jokes that "they're ruled by their cats?" Well, imagine if the cute adorable creature is sentient and is incredibly wise too. What will it do? It will do cute little things to manipulate you into doing what it wants.

Well, this manhwa's cute adorable little manipulating creature is the youngest princess who was actually the "High Mage" (strongest of all mages, leader of etc etc) who mysteriously poof'd one day and reincarnated. The baby is 6 months old and her father doesn't really care and neither did her two elder brothers who are twins. She realizes this and immediately starts... well, meowing to get attention and start training all three of them to absolutely love her. It is a huge shift between her dad walking in "she's alive? cool" and leaves -> into her dad walking in, picking her up, coo'ing all over her and all that jazz, refusing to leave despite all the work he has to do, etc etc and even wants to create a national holiday for every single little thing; first time she is crawling, first words, etc etc. The twin brothers are in the same boat.

This lacks a comedy tag.

Time marches on and the little princess grows up. Shenanigans ensue but nothing particularly worrisome except one plot point. For once, the question of "why doesn't Main Character go and kill the big bad evil guy?" has a decent answer. That plot point, predictably, is the major overarching plot that builds up and up and up etc until the Good Guys win and everyone is happy.

I think it's... decent. It's mid. The whole "Ms. Main Character is cute" works to uphold the plot but 195 chapters with a 30 chapter epilogue?! Really? Gimme some editing scissors and I can cut it down to 53 odd chapters and four epilogue chapters.

My point is: it rambles on and on and on and on and I was pretty done with it. I do think that Ms. Main Character is adorable as a baby and I enjoyed that aspect but it ceases as she grows up. The main villain is quite the creep for many reasons while his motives are kinda pathetic. Eh...

So yeah uh... keep that all in mind out of 10.

Do you like medical dramas of sorts? If so, then you'll most likely enjoy this.

Mr. Main Character woke up after drinking one of the last drinks of his life; he has cancer and it isn't going well. What is "it" that isn't going well? His entire life. He worked super hard, climbed up desperately and kept getting kicked down. One of the things that costed him dearly was insisting on operating on two people that were stabbed. These two people have no ID and in true Ameri- wait... this takes place in Korea? So, Squid Game logic applies and the two people were about to be kicked out of the hospital despite Korea's Universal Healthcare and Mr. Main Character decides to assume all responsibility and operates on them to save their lives. And thus the hospital's manager fires him.

He ends up miserable for the rest of his short life despite all his efforts. He studies, practices and opens up his own clinic and a bunch of other things and nothing goes well.
Finally, he is drinking on a bench, one last drink before... who knows what happens and a lady approaches, thanking him for saving her and her brother's lives and offers him a special drink.

And from here is where the standard regression plot points start kicking in. He wakes up in middle school and uses his prior knowledge to right wrongs and he is determined to live a better life. He feels a bit bad when he submits research based on things he learned in his first life - he really did study hard and is actively working really hard in this life too.

If anything, the worst plot points in this manhwa are the stupid hospital manager and his son. It's literally Shido and Akechi from Persona 5 but stuffed into this medical drama out of all things. I don't get why Mr. Main Character never even tried to do any freakin' thing against either of them until the very end. I'm not even making this up: Mr. Main Character gets run over by not_Akechi - where he walks it off and does a surgery and then collapses. When are you going to say "HE RAN ME OVER!" huh? Oh... never?

The hospital's manager leaves a long extensive trail of evidence that it makes a humongous folder, no really, and nothing happens to him either until the very end either. One friend is a cop and his dad was abandoned and left to die due to the manager's nonsense -> and the cop was the one to arrest him but he didn't even take the chance to bash his head in while the other cops and literal hospital employees were saying "I didn't hear anything" to the cop's comments.

Bleh.
This aside, everything else is pretty good. The other meh detail is the romance aspect because there exists a curse on all "Mr. Main Characters" such that they cannot be less dense than a neutron star for about a million chapters before they get to do anything. Thankfully, once the curse is lifted, he is decisive and it ends pretty well.

Overall, pretty good medical drama manhwa.

Ya know, there are plenty of ways to start off a manhwa, especially a wuxia like this one. This one certainly took an approach that I wondered for a moment with a "is this a bit? Or is this the full on purpose?" It's the latter.
Note: I don't think this is a xianxia but a wuxia since fights don't include flying around and blasting beams and explosions like freakin' Superman vs Goku... until the ending I guess but it is still very tame.

About this start that I'm banging on about: Mr. Main Character is a child who is being horribly abused due to his stepmother. There's some classic shenanigans of a secondary woman abusing her position to pave the road for HER children to take over and stuff -> but instead of just "accidentally" killing any obstacles, she just goes for torture. This results in Mr. Main Character suffering miserably and then getting locked up in a shed where he uncovers a mirror that saves his life. Honestly? I felt so miserable for the kid that I almost dropped it. T_T

Still, I pressed on as I had hopes for where this will go and oh boy the places it went! It's nice seeing the Unorthodox sect (later renamed to "Chaos sect" by another translator groups which I want to insult. Do these people even read the manhwa they're picking up? Jeez) being painted in multiple lights. One the one hand, power rules but on the other weaker hand, people still have their morals and want to stick by them. There's an interplay that's presented carefully.

Anyway, it doesn't take too long for the overarching plot to make waves and there are moments of brilliance. I felt bad for certain characters - except the main villains. Shuuuuuuuuuut uuuuuuuuuuup! You lose any and all sympathy under the basis of "they slaughtered all my friends and family" the moment YOU slaughter other people's friends and family on a world-ending scale sort-of scenario. You don't wash blood off your with more blood and expect sympathy for me! That one detail aside,

I really enjoyed this manhwa and I do recommend it.

P.S.: the color of red for Mr. Main Character gets kinda... washed out a bit and looks like a reddish-brown in the last stretch of chapters. I found it weird enough to add it here so uh... yeah...
