So Platinum End is (lol) ending and holy shit do I not understand how this thing even got made. The whole thing is really fucking horrible. From the lolbertarian villain from the first part to the waste of time 'God Discussion' to the fucking ending which is hysterical to me. Death Note REALLY was a one-hit wonder, Jesus. The whole thing was an entire waste of time and I'm just laughing my ass off. Its the most Japanesiest of Japanese 'fuck God and Heaven and Shit', except there's literally no point. It is like a special-ed teenage atheist wrote this.

Oh yeah, this whole God contest was done by aliens we've never seen, nor introduced, nor implied and done to prevent anyone from killing them even though nobody knows they exist. And they might just want to die or not or something, nobody knows including the authors because it is literally just meaningless babble with no rhyme or reason because, you know, if everyone is obliterated you can't really have a fucking postscript where everything is dead. Also we're clearly trying to be Gantz but we REALLY REALLY fucking suck at it. Oh yeah, the world sucks so bad God just kills himself fucking lolololzol, rocks fall everyone dies. And there's no rhyme or reason to any of it at all, it just happens. Somehow.

Also it was supposed to say something about suicide but all I got from it is that people write such mind numbingly stupid shit its better to put a bullet in your brain than suffering reading through it.

Its so fucking stupid it makes my head hurt. Like these story-tellers trying to be edge lords and get one over on their audiences just make me laugh in their face. "So, were you trying to be a retard or only pretending?" Like even Gantz was batshit edgelord but at least it had the decency to have a somewhat satisfying conclusion and just got more batshit as time went on.

Like this is just bad. Jesus, 58 chapters of toilet paper and 24 episodes of celluloid diarrhea. It is an honest crime that this shit got 24 episodes and better series only get like 12.

It just fucking reads like they knew they were going to get cancelled and got super salty about it and burned everything to the ground. Mangaka are really fucking typical about this shit. Good lord.

I don't get why Ohba and Obata couldn't just take the win from Bakuman and call it a day.
 
Any Korean WN and/or manhwa enjoyers?

Also, I can't believe I went from being anime only to manga/manhwa to basically 90% KR WN. JP MCs are whiny betas (looking at you, Deku) compared to the Chad KR MCs (e.g. Sung Jin-Woo even though Solo Leveling is only good until you read others).

Second Coming of Gluttony is the best KR WN hands down. Not as OP as others, but really well done characterization and the best training arcs I've ever come across. Second Life Ranker and Overgeared (WN is over 3.3 mil words, 1590+ chaps) are also really good.

I do read multiple, tho I was mostly with ToG until it went on a hiatus & I forgot most of it so I almost have dropped it. There was also The Gamer which had a same effect. I read Solo Leveling till the end, but from what I remember, they fucked up the ending compared to the LN.

There's a niche superpower western I am reading called Gunfire I kinda like, but the translation halted. Seriously, the last english chapter was 6 months ago.

I swear they used the exact concept for platinum end as one of the rejected series the main duo brainstormed. I can't remember where it was exactly but I can try and find it.

Edit: found it

I got spoiled on the ending for Solo Leveling and even the LN ending was meh from what I heard so I dropped it. Still a phenomenal gateway to the genre.

How to Fight started quaint but good but has turned to shit now that they're fighting hardened career criminals who have no reason to not have guns.

Planetary Human is still good but it's fucking unreadable one episode at a time, I'm waiting until they build up a buffer.

I read them they got interesting stories but they also got MCs that are also sex crazed jerks.

I'm not that fond of the web manwha format where it's like scroll scroll scroll panel scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll another panel. It's kind of tedious scrolling through a whole lot of empty canvas between panels.
 
Villain Hides His True Colors is the most Based recommendation for a Kiwi Farmer. I cannot stress this enough. You'll definitely be rewarded around 13 chapters in, 20 and 32ish being some satisfying milestones to show you why you should be reading this WN. You can read it on Wattpad or another site.

I'll look in to Planetary Human but I've heard similar things about How to Fight.

What are your interests and why have they got you to reading this things? And I'm a 99% action reader so none of the MCs I've encountered are perverted like that. If anything, they don't care about women or treat them insignificantly compared to their goals.

Some manhwa are worse in that regard - unnecessary amounts of blank space. I take it you're reading the chapters all in one page? I'm on Tachiyomi, best Manga/Manhwa app for Android, it lets me continuously scroll.

Also, the scrolling might be why I prefer WN over manhwa, or any Asian media, because not only do I get a more complete experience, you learn and begin to skim the fat (filler). I'm rewarded for being either slow or fast paced. I recommend Shosetsu for reading LN or WN on Android. Both apps APKs.

Look into "The Beginning After the End" or TBATE as it's also referred to as.

If you like some fresh mindset that is believable Daoist Gu is a good concept for WN. Is if there's a psychopath that could return in time in a world of "immortals",destiny what can he do to make him stronger when the world hates him.

For Korean Comics, I highly recommend legend of northern blade(ongoing) that the artist carry the comic because it the only one that I seen that know how to utilize the format to is favor.
And another one, now completed, it's Ares and Bastard. The premise of first is a medieval/martial arts that occur in a time of war expect some battles,politics in a refreshing way. And the last is about of child of psychopath that help his dad to kill woman but when his dad wants to kill the girl he like, the story unfold, expect some turns and a interesting story.

Someone keeps telling to me read Northern Blade, I might try and find the WN for it if I can.
 
The only webtoon that I liked were the breaker, bastard the northern blade and a few others the rest are just copy paste of each other.
 
I tried to get into Solo Leveling but it felt like none of the characters had any personality whatsoever, is it different in the ln?

Kyō Kara Ore Wa!!

I’m surprised when people were making lists of what their favorite delinquent anime/manga is that they did not put this on their list. Personally, I’m a sucker for the ED song in the series:


At times, its pretty hard to tell which is better for this case — the anime or manga. Though, all I can say is that even with getting a live-action movie made after it just two years ago, the manga itself is really funny:
