For some reason I was under the impression GoHS ended after Mubong was defeated, lol. Going to have to see where in the world it went after that.

I have a feeling the GoHS plot structure was basically the author came up with 4-5 different endings then just decided to run with all of them. Sometimes at once, sometimes start over and do the other one etc.

Shi Woon's gotten too strong for your regular badass establishing scene now. Has to have an acupoint marionetting someone else into badassery scene instead.

It is but I'm ok with it. I remember one of the authors writing about it years ago and said they liked it a lot in the new format or something like that.

Oh wow, the breaker continues at last. It's been so long since I read any of it that I'd need a refresher to remember anything but vague details. I do recall liking it quite a lot though!

Havin' read all 6 chapters on Day 1, I don't really feel fully invested in the series as of yet.

It feels like a soft reboot with a new MC so new readers who haven't read The Breaker Parts 1 and 2 can get into the series without knowing the full deets (since a mysterious mentor figure who has his own poo poo going on isn't too uncommon, and is exactly what 9AD was like in the original Breaker). It's an understandable decision and the homages to the new kid's situation and Shiwoon's situation in Part 1 are neat, but on the other hand, it does feel weird going from Shiwoon's story to MC's story, especially after where Part 2 left off of.

Then again, the Breaker Part 1 was about both the master and student, with 9AD getting more focus than Shiwoon, so I guess I'll just wait and see how the series goes.

I think they should have aged up shiwoon more if he was gonna take on the mentor role. this feels goofy. also don't especially like the new kid much yet

but mostly I just want them to get on with continuing the story rather than basically recapping the first series by doing it over again

Oh wow another Naver webtoon that plagiarizes a Shounen Jump manga.

There was the one that lifted stuff from Kimetsu last year, and now there's a webtoon that apparently just lifts Chainsaw Man.

i find it kind of funny how much more effort Naver and the other places put into cracking down on scans than japanese companies. Presumably as these are mostly consumed online

Stumbled upon an archive for a series called Hive. It was originally hosted on Webtoons but a couple years ago they removed all of the chapters for some initiative to get people to re-read it again by re-uploading the chapters from the beginning, but then they pushed the chapters to the app at some point last year I think. I've been re-reading it since finding it again and it's still a fairly solid post apocalypse story in which the main character is an engineer stuck in a bad spot as his position in his company is eroding given his boss stole and patented a piece of technology from him years ago and he's currently being forced out of the company he works for by that same man. But during a smoke break there's a warning about wasps but what that announcer leaves out is that these wasps aren't the normal kind.

What follows is the extended quest for one man to hopefully reunite with his wife and child in the face of Armageddon. It also has one of my favorite characters in the form of a badass old man who is a sort of mercenary and the dude that carries the team many times on his aged and experienced back and knows far more than he lets on at any point in time.

Unfortunately in the years since the first series ended Webtoons hasn't had anyone translate both sequel series that continue on where the first series ended. There was a MTL attempt for the first sequel that dried up last year so it's not worth recommending. Still, Hive on it's own is worth the recommendation.

Breaker 3/Eternal Force continues to not really impress 8 chapters in. Though apparently the backlash was bad enough for the artist to notice.

It feels like the switch to color also made the art slightly worse.

But did anything change in the second half of chapter 8 like the author said it would?

I could be misremembering, but from what I remember, The Breaker was always a bit of a slow series? I remember this thread agonizing over every chapter by the time New Waves got to its endgame.

Dunno, I read it last night but given how I don't know what the original intent was, I don't know if there are any changes.

At the very least the new MC is still in the focus, so it's not like they made him less prominent.

It was slow but I think the issue is less with the speed and more the fact that people wanted a continuation of Shiwoon's story and then got 8 chapters of a dude whose going through Shiwoon's original arc but at a faster pace (probably because the current Naver webtoon climate/readerbase demands fast "cider" resolutions and the author is aware that a dragged out training arc with a brand new MC will not go over well), making the MC seem like even more of a genius than Shiwoon and someone who hasn't really earned his current level of strength (as opposed to Shiwoon, who went through a ton of poo poo).

yea it's not like the writing has become way worse or anything. the setup is just disappointing. and like I said before, if they wanted shiwoon to take his teacher's role then he should be older than like 16

I figure the plan was to retread part 1 until goomoonryong's heel turn but this time, new kid reaches shiwoon

It especially sucks cause Part 2 ended on the cliffhanger with the final boss of Part 1 offering to teach Shiwoon, and the original Sunwoo heir gaining godlike powers.

And then we're back in school.

Why can't korean webtoon authors write like japanese mangaka to save their lives? All the manhwa I've read feel shallow in places.
