Not really relevant to the story, but the nerd in me wanted to share. Water is actually a terrible conductor. It's the impurities in water that make it conduct electricity. Like minerals and dirt.
ty for sharing this, had no idea
Wiah then made the black rain was a good conductor after all
I'm done. The author makes the lead act completely nonsensically. "Oh a second star appeared, and he's so dangerous we should run away, but he got caught? Lets secretly go meet him in prison! Wonderful idea! Oh and lets make sure we stand so close that he could grab me while there!" "Oh he's blackmailing me? Lets be a meek little puppy and do exactly as he says! What could go wrong right?!"
On that note, how "convenient" for that other star to be able to manipulate other stars like that. And how "convenient" that he happened to have a bottle on him that can seal a star away. It's not like you'd be stripped of all your possessions when thrown in prison or anything. And on top of that even, clearly the author has no clue how to advance the story. (Something that wouldn't even be that hard to write considering the lead's personality) As he used this situation to "conveniently" make her save that boy in the mirror, and move her towards the academy in such a lazy and forced way.
A society where they hadn't even invented primitive microscopes yet, and still relied on "medicine balls" coated in silver and astrology. Yet I'm supposed to believe that in such a short time, everyone got educated enough about modern medicine to fully understand all the modern medicinal language our MC is using? Not only that, but that basically a medieval blacksmith was able to fully and accurately reproduce modern surgical tools that require our modern computerized machines to make?
I thought this manga was going to be about the MC applying his modern knowledge to the limited possibilities in a medieval-ish world. But nope, he's now just straight up bringing modern medicine and tools into that world like it's nothing, "because reasons". I hate it when manga do this. No creativity within the confines of the world they themselves created. Just straight up laziness, bringing modern stuff into their worlds when it makes no sense at all.
yea honestly the time periods dont match up especially with the surgery talk i feel like everyone is grasping this extremely foreign knowledge too quickly and without any proper buildup (chemistry, basic science, etc.) but whatever i still fw the manga it just feels like there was less thought put into the actual plot and more just into the research / medical fact accuracy
Yea it feels like the author might have studied to become a surgeon or some kind of medical doctor, but failed to get a job in the field for whatever reason, and wrote this story instead.
Doesn't have to be a bad thing. Like how the author of "Infinite Mage" clearly is a physics nerd. Except you can tell he really thought about how to believably integrate real concepts in phycis like how photons/energy work and even string theory, into a magic system.
oo i gotta add infinite mage to my list but yea. i dont hate the concept or even the cliche overpowered mc but its just the fact the plot was sacrificed and sometimes it feels more like a textbook with some underlying plot. i love series where u can tell the author is passionate about a subject but thats only when the author is... like.. an author..
Yup, exactly that.
Also I would check out korean webtoons in general. They're full color, and there's some really good ones among them. (Most of them are "traveled back in time/gained an OP power" type stories though. :P)
yea, ive been looking for more series where the mc was knowledgable in something before they got isekaied (the greatest estate developer, chefs, etc.) but a lot lean too far into one aspect that it makes the series bad
Just started this one and I hate the trope of "mages have the advantage over melee". Like what? Sure in a 1 on 1 duel maybe, but in any kind of group fight mages would be sitting ducks without the melee to draw aggro and tank hits for them. The story starting off with the world thinking mages are superior just makes every single person in that world look retarded. No REAL strategist would overlook how weak mages become if they don't have protection in a group fight.
I'll read a bit more, but damn...this is not a good start for a story...
That's because they're mostly fighting monsters, you know how tanks usually get shit on in games(personal experience) it's the same here.
Can't say I'm enjoying this tower thing. First there were god knows how many chapters of a school setting where he was hiding his power. Now there's another "side story" like plot in a cliché death game tower. (Yes I do get they're not actually side stories) And it's been going on for so damn long...
I want the story to go back to how it was in earlier chapters...
Extra: Hoply shit I just quickly checked. The academy arc took up almost 2/3 of the entire webtoon so far...
It's become a series of subplots and side stories where he is constantly hiding his power and identity.
Yea and I don't like that... I read these for the power fantasy, really. I want to see the cool powerful mc (male or female!) to be cool and powerful...
Technically he's kinda doing that in this new "tower with game mechanics" plot, but he still got heavily de-powered and has to "build up his strength" once again while climbing the tower...
At this point there is no real continuity in the overall story, and because he is always hiding his identity and power, my interaction with the story is essentially that I am reading a series of disconnected short stories with different MCs in the same universe.
The most boring arc is actually after this one.
Showed promise for a good while. But once he started training with the asuras the plot slowed down and changed focus. Guess I'm dropping this one...
It picks up again, don't worry. I read the webnovel, though I havent caught up with the last book yet, and trust me, the chapter releasing at the minute are some of my favourites out of the whole series
Where are you reading the novel?
how many books are there is it worth reading?????? (づ￣ ³￣)づ
And I must say...it's like a palate cleanser. The last 5 or so stories I've been reading were all fairly...gloomy? World-ending threats, ruthless "survival of the fittest" families and alliances, constant struggle for survival... Stuff like that. I'm on chapter 47 at the moment, and I like the change of pace. A loving family, conflicts that aren't as gloomy and serious, etc.
At first I thought I wouldn't like a story like this, but the characters are pretty likeable. It's also nice that it has a female MC for once. And not one that immediately becomes a constant damsel in distress either. (or at least not yet.) I can see why so many people have liked this story so far. :)
Ally gets lightly hit -> MC completely looks away from the enemy, calling out their name -> MC gets blindsided by a strong attack.
It's such a cliché at this point. He's experienced enough fights by now...he should know better...
He's a kid, a newbie. Not a veteran. He has experience but it's still not enough. Plus his biggest character point is that he CARES for people especially those he's recognized as allies. It might be cliche to you but it's perfectly in line with his character. He's not an edgelord who can turn a blind eye to an ally in danger nor does he have enough experience to hold back from reacting. Time and time again, it's been emphasized even by vlad himself that he's got a lot more to learn.
Our MC never got the chance to learn the higher level of the Calamity Horn because the other guy destroyed that stone that had the teachings written on it. I expected it to be brought up somehow, but nothing yet? Kinda disappointing...
You just have to reread again when facing tesron in a suit it got brought up again
It's been 43 chapters so far of Ni Li being undercover. Like damn, almost 10% of the entire manga is just this so far...
