This manga has a good premise which is basically a store/system with discount bin super powers taken to the letter, like "you can summon an infinite amount of bananas" which common people could perceive as a bad superpower but its actually good due to the word "infinite" on it, but the problem is that is a battle royale (which is everywhere now for some reason), that's it, there's literally nothing new except the premise. The characters are troppy and a bunch of cornballs (except for the MC, he is chill), most of them don't amount what cats bury under the sand.

For now its a 6/10, interesting premise, but for me, the battle royale shat the bed.

It was kinda good until the revenge, but after that, its a glazefest towards the MC, he is basically untouchable and OP, it actually should end after he gets his revenge and just timeskip as being a world champion or something, like in the end of Eyeshield 21 anime.

Basically, it should end sooner.

It was gold at the start until became silver, the power scaling here is indecipherable, we don't know how strong certain characters are, some situations are pure ass pulls and nothing else, the plot is kinda good and the popois are a good addition to the story, some situations feel very goofy, but overall its a good read.

6.5/10 Not amazing but its not a waste of time at at, its a fun read even with its flaws.

This is a good read, this has an actual good Master-Disciple relationship in it, the doctors here are not overpower like in other series, there are still deaths that happens and the medicine aspect of the series is great too but there are some problems.

The majority of the female character designs look like male and its hard to distinguish, even the scans have problem with it, there's a female character that "changed genders" multiple times due to how the scan struggles to differentiate them, you actively need to look if the character has boobs or not to see if they are male of female, because its the only difference you will find (if you find), of course there are exceptions, but like i said, they are exceptions, not the norm.

Regardless, it is still a very good read 7.5/10 because some moments are just a bunch of redundant conversations on emergency situations, they keep talking like they have all the time in the world despite a person being on the verge of death.

This cultivation series is pretty much the One Punch Man of wuxia, it actually mocks the majority of cultivation manhua tropes through his disciples, which are the typical MC from those manhuas, despite most of the time being comedic, it has an aspect that is rarely brought up on other cultivation series (if brought up at all): the "weight" of seeking immortality.

You will see for the course of the chapters, characters actually dying of old age, them being MC's friends or foes, sometimes this series hits hard in the feels when a character just dies of old age because unlike other cultivation series, the lifespan is determined by your cultivation level solely, you don't become instantly immortal when you just step on the cultivation world like the majority of series imply, in this series there's no magical pill that gives you immortality instantly and the MC can't do anything against the course of nature itself, there is actually no cutting corners. One other thing i like to point out which I've found it interesting: the series with most time skips I've ever seen, its not even close because the author made time skips actual part of the narrative itself.


9/10 Incredibly fun read.

If you think this is a action battle shounen with OP MC, you are wrong, It is pretty much a slice of life most of the time with some action arcs and comedy, just like gintama but without the super specific weeb shit and over the top gags, there are some gags but they aren't that over the top and makes it a light read despite having some tension moments.

It's a pretty good read 8/10.

This is an actual smart MC, no characters here are empty and the world building feels real, there's nothing of that brainrotted cliche of "all nobles are just pompous assholes", don't get me wrong, half of them still are, but even their pompousness feels real, like bunch of psychological duelists masking their ill intention with courteous words and not the cliche that the other stories represent of the noble crashing out just because he's a noble, this is a story which nobles are actually noble beings, and they have the actual power to act like, and the MC is one of them, he has humility but doesn't self deprecate, he knows he's has a status to maintain, or he will be "devoured" by his peers. The are two factions of nobles in this, the Military Faction and the Civil Faction, and they actually play a significant role in the narrative implicitly, the MC is just on the gray area of both factions, he is a good strategist and a good scholar, for example in the chapter 16 he feels like a "Issac Newton" of that world. The hero is kind of the typical shounen protagonist, kinda airheaded but he is a grounded character, he has a good personality but since he's a commoner, he is vulnerable to the noble's machinations, and THAT is the main task of the MC, not babysit him, but to ensure the hero maintain a status quo in being "free", and he does a good job in that department.

So far, the series is a 9.5/10, i wished this wasn't a low-fantasy (top tier individual magic is as good as shooting an arrow), but this is more of a personal taste, the translation is the only my true pet peeve because the names change a lot, not so much on the latter chapters.

Your points are perfect valid, but to be fair, the manga adaptation is doing miracles due to the Novel being completely ass, but still could be better.

Its a good read until the academy arc (chapter 55-ish) which is pretty much stalling, its a bunch of pointless side quests and such, the plot was moving well until that, the reader gets very invested on the blue moon salvation organization and the lab, when we get a very important clue, the author pretty much blocks the plot behind the academy side quest arc, with annoying characters and pointless artificial struggles. Better wait until the annoying arc is done, because the plot itself is good.

7.5/10

I kinda like this manga, its lowkey good, it has almost everything 6/10 expect for two things: The unique monsters from the commonly used monsters in other stories (slimes, goblins, orcs...) and the fights, which both are 9.5/10 and 7.5/10 respectively.

The fights, specially the boss fights are always on the edge, feels like you a seeing a souls-like gameplay, sort to say, and actually makes the reader engaged, but some encounters feel very artificial, making him a "boss magnet" of some sort (no, i don't think its because of Luce, Luche, Ruche or whaterver the current scan think her name is).

The monsters are somewhat inspired by Dark Souls and Elden Ring, some bosses are genuinely terrifying and chapter 74 has a "Potarge" which is a giant bird with a humanoid face, and that thing's smile jumpscared me a little.

Overall, this is a 6.5/10, its a fun read, it has cool fights.

This Tin Knight made remember the horror stories involving the second level of the Toy Factory from Ragnarok Online, people frequently rage quit there due to the mobs having absurd high attack and the maps being heavily populated by them, I don't know if they nerfed nowadays but back in the days it was a nightmare to reach the boss there, which was a snowman knight with a head of a reindeer and the red Rudolf's nose, i don't recall its name tho.

He is basically becomes a God after he gets his lent skills back, but the Author put a lot of bullshit plot inconveniences to "nerf" the MC in some way, making some parts of this manga very bad, the MC also doesn't kill indiscriminately, which won't appeal for some readers.

5/10 It's average, you can read to pass the time.

It's a Mitsubishi 2025 Outlander PHEV, an 2.4 engine 4 cilinders and 16 valves, which makes 248hp in total, its an overpriced SUV full of random tech things, there's even a version with autopilot iirc.

The MC has the same trait that Kikyou from InuYasha has, which i call "toxic saint", he wants to save everyone, even the ones that are rotten to the core with no point of return, and that's why the majority of InuYasha fans hate Kikyou, and that's also why i hate this MC, its a trope that fits no one well, none of the heroic or villain archetypes can "vibe" with this trait well because the nature of the trait itself, which is disturbingly paradoxical.

All chapters are pretty much her kicking him in his face or rubbing her pantyhosed feet on his face, at least they kiss each other now and then, but its pretty much a fetish 4koma manga that has softcore bdsm.

Its gold, but not 24 karat gold.
It`s basically the same plot of John Wick, except there's no exaltation/grandiose regarding his reputation, in fact, his reputation pretty much faded away, the enemies did way more than "steal his car and kill his dog", and that's why its not 24 karat gold, the author tried to make a John Wick-esque but the pace is so slow there's barely action, its just chit-chat, plotting, edgyness and a lot of tyranny show offs. His daughter learning what he knew in fighting contributed nothing to the story, she beat a handful of goons and then died, which just pissed me off because "if you show something, do something meaningful with what you showed". The plot itself is great and highly recommended, but the pace is very slow.

This is "If moistcritical was unfunny and an overpower necromancer", I'm gonna make this review a bit more different than the others I do:

Pros:
- Good art
- Dynamic fights
- The skellies have good design
- The dungeons are very recognizable and not so repetitive like other series of the same genre

Cons:
-MC has the personality of a door, thus not having an ounce of sympathy for him
-The FML is useless, she is basically a radar for invisible foes and literally just gets carried
-He's so overpower that there's no sense of progression, the first BBEG was a literal god and he wounded him when he was a low level
-Everyone's else power looks like absolute garbage in a unbelievable way, there are classes that have the same grade as his class that does not have the same output in damage/power, his class is overpower for the sake of being overpower.
-He still uses his pajamas (white plain shirt and black pants) to fight


Conclusion, if you want to see a cheated NPC grinding mobs and arrogant young masters getting defeated by him. this is for you.

For me, its a 6/10 its a good read if you have nothing better to read.
