From what I understand, it's just a story that's sympathetic to sex workers and approaches it a relatively mature way.
This is accurate but it certainly deserves its content warnings and I wouldn't blame anyone for giving it a pass.

I want to know. I stopped reading it early on because it was pretty boring.

The part about the going outside trauma being what initially made it popular actually explains a lot, like the ridiculous ED trauma.

When they redid the series page layout recently it was an improvement in most respects but they seem to have completely hidden the list of alternate titles.

Yeah Skeleton Soldier is always better when Isaac is around because he functions as the protagonist's brain. Unfortunately he's not always around. I really enjoyed the recent chapters where he taught Skeleton to use his status windows as deadly weapons. For all its flaws I'm probably sticking with it to the end because the mysteries it's presented are interesting enough.

That said the only undead-themed story people are seemingly always positive about is Unwanted Undead Adventurer so that's probably the one you're thinking of.

According to the translator's notes a revised version of Reader was published that changes this arc quite a bit specifically to make the Japanese teams less universally evil and the comic is going to be following that version

Title aside, it's pretty funny.

Yeah I think the WN went into an extremely boring zombie arc and then fan translations stopped. This is much better.

How do you effectively read webtoons on a desktop computer? I find the constant scrolling irritating.
I usually end up using ctrl + scroll wheel to zoom out a couple of notches so I can actually see an entire panel on screen at a time.

Well he does have a goal, but it's comprised maybe 2% of the comic's runtime so far and he barely has any idea how to complete it, so kind of gives the impression the story is going to drag on an arbitrary amount of time.

I'm lost. This flashback is inconsistent with the previous one, is this implying Hinako is an unreliable narrator?

EDIT: Nevermind that isn't Junko dying in the new flashback. I need to reread this series

Chapter 9 is out and I'm still confused by this tbh. The last thing we see is the other girl clearly hugging Junko and preparing to jump with her, are we supposed to assume Junko somehow escaped? If so that's a super weird and confusing way to convey it.

Yeah I also try out a ton of non-Japanese stuff. Roxana would be my favorite but it's been gone so long I wasn't counting it any more. :smith:

I legitimately thought the four knights were going to do something cool since they had unique designs, good joke.

I read the novel for that until it got really weird and boring with the protagonist spending all his time in some kind of pseudo-real modern superhero dream world and ignoring the entire world and cast up until that point.

I was hooked on SSS Rank Hunter from the moment it reveals his plan to stop Flame Emperor.

The Witch is great. :allears:

No, not at all. I've never read any of the ones that comic is referencing so it seemed weird to me but apparently I've just been reading the right ones.

It's extremely good. I think it's actually the only Korean WN I've read in its entirety. It starts from one of the standard Korean WN premises but gradually turns into something much more interesting. A lot like SSS Rank Suicide Hunter, actually.

The manwha adaptation is also good, and has good translators who write a lot of informative notes at the end of each chapter.
