Like, seriously, almost 500 Chapters and I have never even heard of it? That's not a good sign, is it?
Are there people who can tell me if this is someone crack pipe dream that lingers in the ear since 2022, or if there's any merit in reading this? Because despite the run time and the fucking huge chapter count, there aren't even many comments here.
I'm looking for a Webtoon and I even know it's name - I saw it on some YT short promotion. Apparently it goes by titles like "World's Strongest Straight Punch", "World's Strongest Regime", or "Conquering the World with a Single Punch", if I didn't get them wrong. None of these titles can be found here, so it could be it's not on here, but maybe they simply used yet another alternative title that I have not been able to find.
Does anybody know? Or where I could read it, if it's not on Mangago?
This manhwa is insanely new, releasing last month and has only 6 chapters! It isn’t licensed in English and is only available on the Korean webtoon app! Its most likely you won’t see anything about it for another 1-2 months until it hits 20 chs or until English webtoon releases it
Ah, damn, I didn't check that when I looked it up. But thanks for the information!
I originally dropped looking for stories like this one, but reading »Mercenary Enrollment« yesterday invigorated my feelings towards this certain trope. I'm talking about the »What if a trained soldier / assassin / hitman / mercenary / whatever was thrown into a peaceful environment, where nobody knows about his abilities and has to lead a normal life?«
It doesn't have to be exactly like that, but something similar would be nice. Action is a most in a way, I guess. My favorite Manga of all time (except for Jojo's, but Jojo's doesn't count, as it is above any kind of rankin; it is absolute) »Dendrobates« is also that kind of story. A japanese kid, growing up in one of the worst parts of colombia, becoming an ace sicario (colombian hitman) and returning to japan as an adult, to become a police officer to hide his second life as a hitman in the middle of Tokyo. Mercenary Enrollment was even set in Highschool. I dig that. But I initially gave up on this trope, because I did read it here and there, but every time it was simply disappointing. So, if anyone knows a story that takes this trope seriously, I would love to hear about it. Might be too much to ask for, though, as most authors seem to think this is a premise where you simply can't take the MC seriously, as they want to have their cake and eat it, too (which means, in this case, they want a fun teenage story, but they also want to show a hardened soldier type of character at the age of 17 and I guess you know how that is a problem. You may to it, but it always seem like a parody instead of an earnest story).
So ... that's about it. Any ideas ...?
um the only type of story that i can think is kinda similar to what ur talking abt is called “history’s strongest manager” or smthn like that. personally i feel like the story honestly kinda shit lol i ended up dropping it after a while it rlly isn’t the best manhwa out there but u could have a look at it ig ??
not entirely sure if this is exactly what you're looking for but i can think of,
http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/the_descent_of_the_demonic_master/ > cripple first life, demonic master second life, ordinary person third life; trying to live a normal life whilst holding all the experience he has in his past life
http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/black_haze/ > strongest mage thrown into high school whilst hiding his identity (10/10 recommend)
http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/master_of_gu/ > god in his past life, reborn & has all his powers still, hiding his identity while gaining more power
http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/the_world_is_money_and_power/ > delinquent (no clue what his identity is) that enrolls in a gambling school not to gain power but justice
Demonic Master is good, but that one I already read. Master of Gu was something I had on my list, but I didn't really check what it was about, so it's interesting if it actually fits the criteria. Black Haze seems to be pretty much what I'm looking for, I guess that's what I will be reading next. The last one, I would have to check out, don't know if it's going to be interesting to me.
Anyway, thank you very much! :D
I'm gonna check it out anyway. Thanks a lot ^^
if you end up reading master of gu, i have to warn you; while it IS a good story, most of the characters there are dumb, like real dumb. it felt as though the author put no effort into making the characters, but it is refreshing to see a villain mc that does work. on the other hand, you will not be disappointed with black haze, it's one of the best action webtoons out there imo
I'm really getting my hopes up for Black Haze, ngl xD
And okay, thanks for the warning. Welp. I mean, I read stories with really braindead characters before, it's sometimes a little stressful to read, depending on how it plays out. But I guess I'm gonna see what happens. Can't be more than infuriating and in the worst case, I'm just gonna drop it.
Thanks again :D
I just remembered a single question that bothered me a tad for quite some time:
How, in all fucking blazes, does the Runkandel Matriarch have a single man who clearly always prioritized the battlefield and has never spent much time at home, yet managed to give birth at least 11 fucking times, while Talaris Endorma and her gazillion lovers produced a single child? (12 times, if Anne and Myu aren't actually twins, because I'm not sure if they are meant to be twins.)
I mean, physics differ, but damn, that's a harsh difference right there. I'd call it a skill issue, but that depends on what they were going for.
