Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
For some reason I very specifically can't get into any of those "gates open up on earth, people form video game guilds for some reason" series.

the funniest one is definitely solo max level newbie, where there's a tower rather than gates but the world comes together to form weirdly influential private guilds over the course of a week for no apparent reason. none of these guilds have any particular achievements because the mc hogs absolutely everything, but they are still treated as though they are as important as their equivalents in other korean portal fantasies.

Every revolution evaporates and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy


"The S Classes that I Raised" is p good for those kind of ones. Story has kept interesting and its been pretty funny especially of late. The characters are a bit more engaging / interesting than the average level gate/regressor type of webtoons.

the economy just makes no sense.
like even the lowest level monster stones are equivalent to a middle class worker's salary, but everything else still costs the same.

thast fair. limit breaker gets around the "all of a sudden there are guilds" cos the guy gets trapped in another dimension for years and comes out one punch man style but really its worth reading for the insane monsters. They change the art style and everything and it feels heavily influenced by alien/gygax rather than the generic DnD enemies

yeah, I've tried a bunch of them and can't think of one I'd recommend.

I know you meant giger but it's funny because gygax is the creator d&d

If you're on the lookout for something new in the manhwa scene, you've got to check out "Dreaming Freedom." It's this captivating mix of a psychological thriller with a romantic twist crafted by 2L. What's really cool about it is how it juggles a bunch of intense themes like obsession, mystery, and even some dark romance, yet somehow throws in a bit of cuteness, too. It's an unusual combo, but it works amazingly well.

Also, if you're okay with manhwa porn, I've read some of those too. They might not be for everyone, but if you're into manhwa, you should look at "Secret Class" and "Queen Bee." These are my favorites because they have really good stories and some more grown-up scenes. They're worth reading for the stories as well as the other stuff.

Latest chapter of 'Legend of the Northern Blade' has got to showcase one of the most powerful techniques to date

The art of the concerned father-figure. But it's good that blood guy is finally dead and gone although I don't 100% fault Jin nor the shaman's spirit for wanting to decimate the head. Martial arts and blood magic can sometimes make decapitation more of an inconvenience than a killing blow.

Killer Pietro is a fun, extremely violent series imo. Its basically john wick except the MC is 70 and running a bookshop and his former boss puts a hit out on him despite him even having cancer and in the ensuing flee he regresses to when he was 18 so nobody recognises him and he decides to get revenge. Sure it makes no sense but has good action and is quite funny considering all the murder

In a similar vein I've liked Return of the blood thirsty police which is somewhat similar where an assassin is told he can leave the organisation after a final kill which he does but they finish him off anyway and he resurrects in the body of a cop except he has no social skills whatsoever so his chief takes him under his wing to both take out the organisation and turn him into a real person

both on asura scans obviously

an oldie, but i started up seoul station's Necromancer.

totally lost on telling the difference between it and other "I was trapped in a dungeon for x years and came back OP to a now monster filled korea" but the starting arcs are always a good popcorn session

that's because there isn't a difference. they all have the exact same setting.

only differences really are how likeable the characters are and how good the artwork is. I think i'm more astounded by how many of these are based off web novels or that there is a large enough market in korea to keep them going. i read way too many while making GBS threads because it feels a suitable place for it and even i'm losing track of stuff

Oof, that was a rough start but it became really fun when it started going. Thank you for reccomending it. Love overprotective jealous little bro so much.

Also I'm sure I saw another manhwa with pretty much the same premise. Think it was more serious though. Does anyone remember that?

This manwha started this year and I think it's got a decent start, I'm very interested to see where things develop.

read a few chapters of Rescue System, a returner manga where a firefighter goes back in time with a Systems Cheat power and now is able to save those he couldn't before.
neat premise, but the main character acts so stupid in how he goes about it, it just annoys me so much.
like he's drawing up diagrams and plans in the open at work like "fire here" "big fire here" and stuff like that. And with his suspicious luck in finding victims out of nowhere, everyone's gonna think he's the one starting fires or emergencies on purpose, is like be more smart about it!
