I haven’t really seen K-Isekais start with chapters of their ordinary lives on earth, but I have seen them have really extensive flashbacks that pop up kind of randomly. Usually involving them being super poor or suffering some kind of misfortune.Jose posted:Having read so much trash while injured that I forget what is what I read a series, probably asura scans but maybe not, that is someone reincarnating into a world with guilds and stuff and he teaches on of the guild masters some lightning skill as he's school friends with the son. The son gets kidnapped by a rival guild who gets destroyed. This isn't the best description but about all I can remember. It's probably on a season break. Anyone know what it was? I don't think it had gates with stuff like a lot of series I’ve read most of the stuff on Asura Scans and this isn’t really ringing any bells for me. What kind of world did he reincarnate to? Video game world, Tower with various floors, medieval Europe style fantasy, ancient China style fantasy?

Argue posted:Man what is it with Korean isekai going in the opposite direction from Japanese ones--in Japanese ones a common criticism is that we know nothing about the main character before the transmigration, but in Korean ones, they spend like 1 to 3 chapters in their world in a completely different genre of manhwa with its own supporting cast and character relationships before the main character gets mugged by an unknown assailant (which seems to be their version of a truck), then they get isekaied and we never see or hear from any of these characters again I actually haven't seen many Korean isekai - it seems like the two most common similar genres are "portals opening up in the real world and people getting powers to fight them" and "VRMMO"

There are a ton of Korean comics about transmigrating into a novel/video game. Some of them even have male protagonists.

started reading a korean webtoon, "Maybe Meant to Be" no crazy monsters or powers. Just a regular lovey dovey marriage series. Two characters over 30 unmarried (used to be old childhood friends) decide to spontaneously marry so their parents stop bothering them.

well, i'm done with surviving the game as a barbarian. seriously, gently caress this trash. there's a barbarian lady in it who is big, tall, swole and all around great. the latest chapter took away her height and muscles, making her more conventionally attractive.

the beginning was okay, but not a fan of the type of game its simulating. wish it went into more of the different race cultures, but it really didn't expand on it much after the first few descriptive traits and just focused on the boring generic dungeon crawling.

I've finished catching up to the current translations for Fist Demon of Mt. Hua and I've been enjoying the story overall. The premise is a boy is saved by a group of the illustrious Mount Hua martial artists. However one of his legs is lame and it prevents him from learning the traditional styles of his sect. With an unbreakable determination and the support of his master, a scholar with a wide depth of knowledge in martial arts, they begin to devise a style that will suit his limitations.  The first step is to turn him into a human In recent years I've gotten a lot more familiar with certain recurring elements to these Jianghu-based stories so I'm less and less confused about the various factions and sects. Makes it a bit easier to keep up with things as this story does deal with things like the formation of the Murim Alliance and the war with the demonic cult.

Anyone read Real Man? https://suryascans.com/manga/rm/ Regression manwha but very well done artwork, pacing etc. Feels much more like "It's a Wonderful Life" vs like regression isekai. Guy becomes CEO of "Hansung" (totally Samsung) in his late 40s or so and upon doing so realizes he's basically lost all his friends and destroyed his marriage and any other notable relationship to get there. Gets to go back and decides to instead of sacrificing everyone around him to be successful chooses to elevate and help those around him to be better. It's a good read imo and I never thought I would think a story about making cellphones and working in the business side of the tech industry to be interesting but it goes over well. Any other business manhwa out there anyone like? There's a few I've checked out, some of them end up being decent enough. Nice change of pace from murim or dungeon type stuff out there.

Fun fact Fist Demon is connected to two other wuxia webnovels turned webtoons. Martial Artist Lee Gwak (webtoon cancelled after 100th chapter) takes place after the events of Fist Demon (like a century or so?), and the MC is even mentioned. Then Reaper of the Drifting Moon (currently on hiatus after the season ended) takes places sometime after Martial Artist Lee Gwak. Also, Chronicles of the Northern Blade, which is my favorite wuxia-based webnovel-based webtoon, is also by the same author. It's not in the same universe, though.

Lee Gwak was one of my favorites and had an excellent stylist drawing method. The Cliff hanger ending in the middle of a huge arc where the main love interest is in peril was painful. Reaper of the Drifting Moon had a strong opening but became incredibly generic after the time skip. I haven't read fist demon or Chronicles of the Northern Blade. Worth a shot?

ZepiaEltnamOberon posted:Fun fact Fist Demon is connected to two other wuxia webnovels turned webtoons. That would be the 2nd wuxia series I'm aware of where the author has multiple stories focusing on different characters across their setting. The other being the writer for Peerless Dad who also wrote Sunyuu the Shadowless, Administrator Kang Jin Lee, Red Storm, and a few others that I don't think have received adaptations. But for his works, because they all take place around the same time there's more overlap in major events, and characters from one story will show up in another for a few of the comic chapters. Red Storm being the exception because it takes place in it's own alternate universe and the only character from the main universe is a side character.

Chronicles of the Northern Blade is legit my current favorite wuxia-based webtoon out there, edging out stuff like Mad Demon, Return to Blossoming Mountain, and Peerless Dad. It's just a combination of many factors done well. The art's fantastic and the battles rock, and the cast is really enjoyable too.

That said both the unofficial scans of Northern Blade are poo poo. I read the Korean original and checked out both Asura and whatever the other one was and both were so shiftily translated that people on Reddit couldn't loving understand basic plot details. I think the official one is better about it.

Northern Blade is great stuff, even if you don't like wuxia type stuff it is probably at least worth a look. Great and unique art style and has a lot of fun with the characters. It has a much more epic saga type feel to it than a lot of other stuff without trying to force it.

Started reading Legend of the Northern Blade and you all weren't joking; this is great. I currently just got to the point where Warrior So has finally returned to the plot. I was waiting for him to show back up since he is Jin's first subordinate and I'm stoked to see him dual wielding weapons. The conflict between the heavenly alliance and the Silent Night is shaping up to be a pretty grey affair. I can't agree with the methods of people like Danyeop, turning civilians into mindless berserkers just for a glorified suicide by martial artist gambit is not justifiable. I do however see where the story is going with this idea of justice. Jin is strong enough to be able to back his own beliefs to a degree, but I imagine Danyeop despite being this great master of sound attacks understood that he himself was not able to effect the change he wanted and his only recourse was to rouse his sect so the world could change. I think this is going to stress the importance that Jin needs more than just himself, he'll need a legitimate faction of his own to solidify whatever changes he'll want in the world as well. Given the hints, I think Warrior So has more than made the best of his decade off-panel and begun the new northern heavenly sect from within the Heavenly alliance. This series also ticks a lot of boxes when it comes to Wuxia and I'm loving it. The main character also isn't the default strongest character around even after all the training he underwent so there's a balance to the incoming conflict. And like mentioned, the cast is fantastic. A lot of likeable characters in this one. I hope we get to see more of the Tang clan going into the future because this is the most fun interpretation of the infamous poison/hidden weapon masters I've seen yet.  Best Uncle.

Chapters 91 and 92 of Northern Blade were so good.  Captain So coming in with the clutch save.  I already suspect that at least one of his members are these twin-demon double agents. But it was great to see him and Jin finally meeting again and the fruits of So's many years behind the scenes. Feels great that he's finally becoming part of the greater picture in Jin's rise to power. That Works posted:I love the Tang clan duo just running around on the side doing detective work and poo poo for Jin and the others. Edit: I feel bad for Miryeo. She never stood a chance when it came to Jin's affection. Also goddam Captain So challenging another dude to beat his world record for withstanding torture was cold as hell.

So for anyone else reading Weak Hero, The gently caress just happened. I assume he isn't dead, but it feels like a joke to have the main villain get hit by a truck because he decided to demand a fight from the main character in the middle of the highway at night. What a bizarre choice, it feels like a strange cop out.

There's always one side (the good side which is sometimes actually the evil side), the other side (the bad side, which is almost always the evil side), and then the third side (the Blood/Demon/etc. Sect, which is sometimes the biggest evil or the misunderstood/oppressed side).
