and don't get me wrong, I'm not a masochist. it's just, it's lacking...mortality. so far we've only seen a handful of side characters die, and the most impactful was the chief's death, but that's only one.
without the deaths of major characters, it just feels like one of those feel-good everyone wins kind of story. there isn't quite as much emotional substance to it as it could have. like how Demon Slayer was able to capture so many hearts thanks to the death of Rengoku, and then some, you were able to feel the weight of the battle. like there's actually something on the line, something at stake.
as kaiju no.8 is right now, it's good in terms of action, but in terms of emotionality, it feels shallow and lacking. especially when I don't feel the need or persistent want for my favourite characters to be safe and protected, knowing that they will survive anyways. they're just going to live, I know that for a fact, because the author hasn't killed off anyone else yet. and I think that's more heartbreaking than an actual character death.
to my fellow writers out there—don't be afraid to say goodbye to your characters. death is what makes life so precious.
Need reccos. Stuff like Love Tractor, Star x Fanboy, Netkama Punch...you get it. That nice manhwa feel, but clean. Manga also appreciated, would prefer short ones (those 5-7 chapter types).
he really needs to fire his tailor. violet pants? pink cape? blue center? seriously, what is this guy, the centre of a rainbow???
I'm at ch14, but I feel like I've missed several chapters between. why are we speeding, why are we speeding??
She's a transmigrator who knows the plot of the story she transmigrated into, hence she lived it out. But once the story came to its end, no one was bound to the plot anymore, hence everything came crashing down. In the most recent chapter, she comes to terms with it, and returns back to her original self, a person from modern day Japan.
Nice.
cmon guys!! it's not like he chose to be named Jimmy!!! put yourselves in his shoes for a change instead of hating ugh
WUUUUUUWHY AREN'T THERE ANY EXTRAS IM SOBBING THIS ISN'T ENOUGH PLEASE I NEED TO SEE MY BOYS MORE PLESSEEEEE
well, no, specifically the two ex-mercs he picked up...I still can't wrap my head around how he brought them in. like, two men trained to kill giving in to pleasure? I can't really get it
does anyone else agree with me that the pattern of Jiwoo getting into an impossible situation only to be rescued by his two dads is kinda getting repetitive at this point?
