pluviophiliac's Manga

i’ve read (?) the raws twice now. conclusion: i love it! even without the english translation, so i guess that says something. (maybe i’m just biased towards the artist, lololol.) at this point, i’m just unsure about whether i should keep the “sweeter than poison” tag or not, lol. i’m really on the fence about it. oof.

man, how epic is this?! remind me again why i put this off for so long??? oh, wait, that’s right… not enough chapters to spend the whole day binging; that was it. oh well, lol.

in any case, it’s probably one of the best martial arts comics i’ve come across. goddammit, i’ve grown attached to this family in such a short amount of time, too… ahhhh, i’m so excited to continue!!! this guy’s seriously OP. like, massively so. ‘return of the war god’, it says… ‘war god’ my ass, lol. he clearly left that semi-unhinged persona of his back with his old immortal pals from a millennia ago. i mean, i absolutely realize he remains same person with the same exact abilities and everything, but from the small bits and pieces of his past that we’ve gotten to see thus far, he almost feels like a whole different individual. aaaand, as much as i adore the whole monstrous-god-like-fighter-striving-for-vengeance trope, i really do appreciate this new happiness-seeking-family-oriented-living-in-the-moment version of the greatest warrior of all time. just… HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT, bro. he’s great and cool and sweet with his precious ones and i’m so in love with this guy!!! (and his fam, lol.)

also, i know i’ve said similar things plenty of times before, but this is one of the most wholesome, effortlessly power-trippy martial arts manhwas i’ve read, i think… which says a whole damn lot, given the amount of these comics i’ve read these past 18 months. duan yuxian is next level martial EXCELLENCE, though—i kid you the fuck not. such an an admirable character. this current version of him, i mean… he really changed through those 1000 years of being sealed down at the bottom of that lake. and with the war god’s old reputation versus duan yuxian’s current one in mind, i’m quite excited for the day when people’ll finally realize his true identity. (the buildup is MURDERING me, man.) modern-day version of the war god’s definitely misunderstood, lol. (not that he’s doing anything to alter that reputation, but anywayyyy.) i’m low-key crushing on ANOTHER overpowered fictional character now, fml.

it feels like i’m starting to get a bit repetitive now, oof. either way, this is 100% a new favorite! no question mark in sight, that’s for sure. <33

as some wise people in the comment section said: “the male lead isn’t just a green flag, he’s a whole damn forest.” i couldn’t agree more. I. ADORE. THIS. COUPLE. our girl truly deserves to be loved by someone as exquisite as this, holy shit. <33

damn, that’s HOT. i do love me a sweet, sadistic, psychopathic demon god for a male lead. <33 ugh, i’m such a masochist. HE’S LITERALLY SO FUCKING HOT ALL THE FUCKING TIME UGH STOP. and so is vanessa, by the way!!! big queen energy, frfr.

damn… that was one hell of a ride. c’: toxic as fuck, but intriguing nonetheless.

i mean… i’ve read this twice now, so i can’t really complain about anything, can i? ;) LOVE. THESE. CHARACTERS.
