Yeah webtoon has some surprisingly inconsistent translations. You can still tell what's going on but you just think "...yeah no one talks like that"

Binged through Girls of the Wilds. If nothing else them calling out the whole Betty & Veronica routine and it ending in a horrific emotional car crash for all concerned is so refreshing coming from the likes of Nisekoi et all.

It's also remarkably realistic for the guy with horrific abandonment issues manifesting in distrust of all women to not just immediately get over it

I dropped Girls of the Wild after that dude tried to literally poison MC's younger siblings and got away with it cause his club members stopped the MC from wailing on him.

I dunno maybe he got beaten later but it was still pretty stupid.

You missed a long (but good) fight arc to retrieve bathroom pictures of Queen which turned out to actually just be pictures of her washing her face, in a bathroom

Yeah, the problem is when the white background makes it impossible to tell if an image didn't load or the author used some whitespace.

it is pretty lovely that the enemy that has driven raizel further than ever before is just some big mindless monster. he was always gonna burn his life away, but this is a dumb way to do it.

I'm actually pretty impressed that they seem to actually be making the life force burning thing stick.

Also the panel of Frankenstein's cut was super good use of the webtoons long format :stare:

I would legitimately be laughing and clapping like an American in a movie theater if Rai actually does die, but somehow transfers his powers to that human red head guy who uses them in his martial arts and the webcomic basically turns into The Breaker, but with vampires and werewolves.

Even if he could transfer his power, the human kids are like the very last people he'd want to give it to. It'd be Noblesse: M21 is relevant now!

In the end personal taste remains personal taste. There's no guarantee you will like it, and that doesn't mean the ones that do are shill bots. But yeah give it a shake. If possible, use the overlay system that translates it for you on the spot on the official site. Helps the author get clicks, as iirc it is her main source of income. It still feels like witchcraft to use that system.

...wait so does the naver run translated webtoons not count

Teo is cute and Gandharva needs to hook up with her. Is Gandharva's spouse (or whoever is Shakuntala's mother) still alive? I feel like it was mentioned but I can't remember.

Pretty sure she's dead and so he started to be extra protective of Shakuntala

And then well it's still not confirmed either way but the gods gave all the sura a particularly raw deal :smith:

I've been kind of reading UnOrdinary. I liked it at first but I have this weird feeling it'll go downhill when the main character finally shows that he really does have powers after all.

Ytlaya posted:

If I had to guess, I'd say that his ability is just copying stuff, but stronger. There seemed to be some emphasis on the fact that he was using the same abilities, but stronger/better than their original holders. It's the only thing that would really explain how he was able to defeat a whole class of people or whatever (since if it was just regular copying it wouldn't make much sense for him to be better than a crowd of people with the same abilities).

I gotta say I'm a little confused by John's characterization. Like, the extent to which he flips from "totally passive, nothing ruffles him" to completely losing his poo poo isn't really normal. I feel like something interesting could be done with this (if he was actually portrayed as having some sort of serious flaws/issues, rather than this just being a "the nice guy was pushed too far" situation), but I'm not sure if I trust the author to successfully take that angle.


I think it's been clearly set up that he perceives a lot of unfairness in the world and this is part of his massive rage against society accidentally getting some targets. I think it's also not so much that he can copy abilities and make them stronger so much as he can combine the abilities he copies, which makes him possibly stronger against groups.

Ytlaya posted:

If his power actually is to copy and combine powers, it seems like he would inherently be stronger than her as long as anyone else was around at the same time (since he would have her time bullshit plus the other power.


I was thinking about this. It makes him incredibly hard to take down - it basically would rely on one person with a very difficult to use ability - that way he can't use it very effectively. An extra limit is he needs to have never interacted with a similar ability! It would be really hard to take him out with a team since you would need to either utterly overwhelm him with perfect teamwork or combine two or more people with abilities that (with a ton of effort) can link their abilities. Any easily powerful combo is something he can replicate quickly and possibly better. It's a neat hitch!

e ^^^

Oh man that's actually a pretty cool weakness. Almost everyone who writes a copy power puts in some sort of activation condition (and if they're smart, it wears off, unlike the clusterfuck that was Sylar/Peter Petrelli in season 1 of Heroes where both characters were approaching some sort of power singularity)

That comic gets all kinds of press / ratings and at this point I feel like it's just... not that good. Kinda gave it a rest when random character we have little reason to give a poo poo about went on like a 10 chapter arc to be a superhero.
