I got up to the part where he reunites with his wife sort of in the military encampment, but then the encampment is attacked (I think that's the first time the wasps use bombs) and they get separated.
that's where I stopped too, but more because I was exasperated at that twist than anything else.

They'll be caught up in just four or five months. :sun:

The really insane thing is that the fan translators are still translating, but not editing, chapters, and threaten to stop if anybody else uses their scripts to make a scan. I don't even :psyduck:

Sun Jing hangs out with her friends at school, meanwhile there are occasionally chapters about a girl named Qiu Tong who goes to a different school. Nobody can figure out why those chapters exist since the two never meet.

If you think those are bad try watching one of the animated adaptations.

There was one where they added a black sidekick for the main character named Will Smith, who was designed as though they'd looked at Mr Popo and went "heh, we can do way worse than that!"

edit: It was Wang Go Xiang Qiong / Everlasting Immortal Firmament

That seemed kind of silly. It made no sense that the explosions from the missiles (which, they emphasized several times, were not nuclear explosions because they were right on top of the cities when they happened and everyone else was fine) would kill or even seriously injure them with the power they could all throw around.

There's no way the protagonist of Solo Leveling is the only one in the world with the ability to level, the others will no doubt show up as soon as he reaches S rank

Or in the grand genre tradition it turns out Earth was just the tutorial and it's time to go to the real universe where S is basically level 1 again.

It was always insane. Which was good! I just didn't like the new characters etc the bit after the timeskip was pretty jarring and I just kinda stopped reading it for a bit. I guess what I'm asking is if you enjoyed it before the timeskip is it still good now?
Yeah it's still good. It doesn't really take that long for all your old favorites to come back.

Wow, the anime heavily restructures things so it can cover 11-12 chapters in one episode.

I guess it wants to cover the entire first tournament in one cour, which means ~112 chapters.

It needs to move at a considerably faster pace than Tower of God if it wants to get that far so a lot of stuff is going to be skipped or restructured.

ORV is a pretty interesting concept, and the art is by the same group as Solo Leveling so it looks much better than most manwhua.

they clearly saved animation budget on ToG so they could use it here
The two shows aren't even made by the same studio. It's more that GoHS was lucky enough to go to a director who, for whatever reason, absolutely worked his rear end off to make it look as good as possible. For example, he storyboarded almost every episode himself.

There was an OVA called Awakening that covered the first arc years ago. Fortunately it's on CR too.

The pacing is pretty different in the comic. Cramming the entire first arc into one cour required a significant amount of cutting, although it was mostly side character fights and flashbacks so the main plot was mostly intact, as far as I can remember.

Yeah it could be an interesting character arc but...there was no arc. He just got replaced by a different character and if there's going to be a flashback to how that happened it's been put off for quite a while.

I thought it was strain in his drawing hand/arm that he didn't take enough time off to recover from the first time, necessitating a much longer hiatus when it got worse. Nothing life-threatening, thankfully.

edit: I might be confusing this with a different hiatus since the last chapter just said "health reasons."

Oh no I finally got around to reading Yongbi The Invincible (predecessor to Gosu) and then started reading the sequel (confusingly titled "A Side Story") before discovering only the first 26 chapters were ever translated and nobody's touched it in years.

A real pity. I want to see that rear end in a top hat general get his.

Well I really hope whoever was translating Breaker 3 puts it somewhere else.

Oh, I didn't realize it was on webtoon too, though it's months behind.
