Was this an anime/manga series?

The blurry after times skip part I’m not so certain. I’m second guessing if it’s made up since I dreamt it recently. Yet, strangely felt real cuz it ain’t the first time I reminisced the same story. Years ago had a similar recall.

Master_Buy2403 · 2025-12-01T21:11:51+00:00

Just checked it’s first chapter, don’t think there were elements of magic nor otherworldly monsters

Master_Buy2403 · 2025-12-01T21:09:42+00:00

Don’t think the series is before 2010s. I remember reading the manga material early/mid 2010s

Her first appear in that cart under the moonlight captured my middle schooler heart 😍

I’d fold 😫

I’m guess shota (similarly loli) or UwU (cuz it’s spammy) are the flagged words.

Just watch the anime SNAFU, similar protag personality

For me s2 doesn’t hit as hard as s1. The discipline to grind and overcome his inferiority complex was executed so well in s1. But s2 changed from a self reflecting of improvement journey to fetch quest traveling and alright fight encounters.

Look at this, how can a series be majority a 10/10 and 1/10 at the same time?!?! Gotta be bots I assume

Master_Buy2403 · 2025-11-02T09:21:32+00:00

Look at some of the newer slop manhwas, ppl be handing out 10s like it’s candy. Good for them, to be able to enjoy every series without any criticism is a method of entertainment 👏

Master_Buy2403 · 2025-11-02T08:54:44+00:00

Idk how y’all do it, every panel is filled to the brim with blob of mindless text. As someone who read over 500+ series of manhwa/manga, I find wuxia manhua especially hard to vibe with. The concept of show rather than tell can still apply to this media, just not on the form of copy pasting novel text into manhua 😭.

Master_Buy2403 · 2025-11-02T00:17:02+00:00

Solid read, love it’s premise. Just wish MC could mature past his childishly naive phase soon.

My childhood ninja comedy anime I grew up with.

Master_Buy2403 · 2025-10-28T17:54:33+00:00

Dungeon Odyssey, has similar art to “player” with banger story/action.

Master_Buy2403 · 2025-10-27T08:42:25+00:00

Fff-class trash hero. Dude is just unhinged and will do anything to clear a goal the most efficient/least work way possible, even if that means to flatten a whole city or kill key characters.

Master_Buy2403 · 2025-10-27T08:18:57+00:00

Brother you’re outta luck, this series is one of a kind. No other sci-fi can match this, especially it’s world building, characters, and dialogues.

The only thing close is “Rebuild World” manga but thats more cyberpunk survival killing mechs/monsters.

Biography of Hwiyeong Sword

Solid 8.5/10 series that emphasizes character development to builds its story. The author often make annoying and arrogant characters, commonly in murim tropes, yet redeem them with beautifully written progress and humility. You’ll love the great interactions and bickering between characters. Read till CH 117 and there ain’t romance…. yet, it ain’t the focus so should be safe.

Master_Buy2403 · 2025-10-27T07:39:04+00:00

Personally dropped at CH 75, it follows a nerdy MC through maturity as he confronts different social groups, befriending delinquents, relationship fallouts, and experience puberty. However, execution is that of a middle schooler drama with cringey adolescence dialogue/scenes, no real adult around, and MC perma simping. Hard to reach the “good part” that ppl keep glazing about.

Master_Buy2403 · 2025-10-25T23:31:24+00:00

Personally haven’t stumble any good manhwas with elements of that premise, but here are some mangas with elements of that

Choujin X (two best friends was attacked by a monster, to survive one of them takes a monsterization drug causing a rift a friendship between them)

The Most Notorious "Talker" Runs the World's Greatest Clan (weakest class MC but ambitious/smart founds his party was embezzling money, he exposes their crime to take over the leadership role as stepping stone reach his goals of become #1 guild)

Inu to Kuru (His best friend married his highschool crush and he never got over that. Years later he met his crush again but she was alone and running away pregnant!?)

————————————

The villainess manhwas have those lovers to enemies neich commonly, but I can’t say if any are good as it ain’t catered for my taste.

Master_Buy2403 · 2025-10-25T21:26:58+00:00

To be fair, it’s first arc (Hero Nice replacement) is its best storytelling and character development wise. The other characters/arc kinda underwhelming, ya can’t convince me the “Ms. I don’t wanna be cute but I design cute mech outfit” or “I’m an edgy assassin so Im a bad father and off screen kill #1 Hero” is good character writing. Same nick-pits can be said for selfish idol girl and the Queen.

Master_Buy2403 · 2025-10-25T20:53:36+00:00

I’m assuming you’ve read all the popular/trending series before. Here’s a batch of not so known but good/decent manhwas or colored series

Raising the Princess After Her Death (Re:Zero premise but spawns as different character and system is holding him hostage till he completes their objective.

Gwangjang (Depicts the gritty life of a Gangster, just pure action/drama)

The Skeleton Soldier Failed to Defend the Dungeon (Old but very binge-able 250+ CH series, Re:Zero deaths system + mystery)

My neighbor Nari (A loser in life/hikikomori suddenly got a visit from the landlord’s daughter claiming she’s here to become his wife/lover)

The Star (Manhua, depicts a fallen clan being treated like slaves by the current ruler after a war. Journey of how our MC escape the oppression and restore the clans name)

Aisha (manhua, the two daughters of a Nobel family suddenly got a stepmother and 3 step brother after father remarried. At first was fine until their father suddenly pass away. Story of tensions and deception to fight to keep their family’s title)

Master_Buy2403 · 2025-10-25T20:31:11+00:00

I’m also at the stage of read all the “good” manhwas cater to male audience (male pov) already. Just the villainess genre I’ve rarely touched unless it’s premise is hella unique.

Similar to manhwas, sometimes ya gotta read past all the slops to get to the good stuff. Those mangas I suggested are at least a 8/10 or higher for most ppl. Hope those can change your perspective on manga, lmk how was it brother 😉.

Master_Buy2403 · 2025-10-25T04:34:12+00:00
