Books are better than movies but in this case, manhwa

As politely as I can manage, don't read this. Trust me, it isn't worth it.
Go find the original novel and enjoy the real story instead of this inconsistent and, at times, incoherent mess. Use your imagination instead of whatever weird visual this provides. No offense to the artist, but they all looked better in my head.
Thank god they gave him back his bangs. He was NOT pulling off that pony tail in this style until much much recently. Still isn't but it looks better. At that point, he should've went with a short chop.
I don't care if it says "No harem", surrounding him with big boob girls with 2D personalities and little men does not make a story appealing. You either tag harem and might as well make BOTH men and women love him or no romance at all.
The plot. Where is it.

    Just to be clear, you are aware that you are complaining about a pseudo harem, correct? It's not designed for BL lovers.

    No offense but the last part of your argument comes off like: "You like BL and you're upset that this pseudo harem doesn't have enough good men for you to have BL fantasies about. " That being said, there is a solution. Petition to have the site managers add male heavy, and female heavy tags to show that their are alot of males or females.That way you never have to deal with female heavy manga again.

    I like romance but most importantly fighting manhwas. I was being SARCASTIC about the love part which obviously you didn't get. I read the original source novel and it was honestly delightful and fun. I'm a reader of romance not just BL and not a harem fan no matter the gender.

    Honestly with whatever the artist turned this beloved (to me at the very least) story into overly used trope of using women like this to garner attention is fine if you're into that but I had really hoped they'd be more faithful and bring out it's true strength which was the character's knowledge, determination and his wisdom as an ancient mage and his climb back to the light instead of cheap methods. The mage's story really is a fantastic one and I was genuinely excited to read this but this is what was produced. I'm sure the artist tried their best but they chose the wrong novel to adapt. It feels certainly ambitious but inconsistent with the script and the art. ( ̄∇ ̄")

    I brought up the heavy male service because most of the time it takes away from the story when it's not supposed to be the focus in the first place. Sometimes it works but not in this type of story. I made an exaggeration about giving the same treatment to the men if they wanted to draw like that

    I say all of this not to start a fight or anything and to be real, thanks for the suggestion. I probably won't do it cuz, again, I like almost romance and feel good love of all types. Have a good day

    Omg hii, may I ask where you read your novels? And also if they're free?

    Ello! I often look at NovelUpdates.
    They post links to sites, ratings, completion, etc and groups of translators to the novel you want to read and help me find some pretty good ones based off their search system.

    They're all free, although some might be outdated depending on if they haven't been updated in a while.
    You possibly may have to jump through different sites cuz while some may be.

    If you want some specific sites I suggest:
    webnovel.com, noveltrust.com, wuxiaworld.eu, empirenovel.com.

    A lot you can choose from but these are examples and I've never had to spend a dime and I personally have never gotten an malicious pop up ads. Do be careful tho when searching for others!
