July's manga / #Martial Arts(5)

The art is beautiful, but the translation does not do the story justice. Nothing so far makes any sense, and it's a waste of the the art. The manhua looks like a Chinese comic book, with the thick lines and bold colors. The story has no substance, and is meaningless. What a pity. The male lead is not properly introduced, and we know nothing about his motivations or ambitions, it's just a lot of empty talking. It seems like he had a redo of his old life, but sometimes he himself forgets about everything in his old life, when he should remember to successfully redo this life. Also, it's weird that he's so clueless about important things that he should have remembered if he already live through all of this before. There's nothing worth reading here at the moment, but maybe it will improve in the future?

Cultivation webtoon with weapon souls, the male lead wants the weakest soul to achieve the perfect martial arts technique. There's a girl who likes him but when she sees that he's obtained the weakest weapon soul, rejects him because she only likes strong people. Basically don't judge people by their apparent strength. The art is not bad, and translation is understandable, unlike other cultivation webtoons. Interested to see more. I don't really like the male lead though, he's as off-putting just like all the other leads in cultivation webtoons.

The art for this full color manhua is great, the coloring is bold like in Western comics but retains the style of a Chinese martial arts manhua. The story is non-existent for now, due to the limited amount of chapters available, it's mostly a lot of fighting, which is drawn really well in an understandable manner. I think the male lead is too unruly like typical shounen manga heroes, I'd rather read this with his elder brother as the protagonist, since he seems more calm and rational. Translation is great, which is surprising since lots of Chinese webtoons and manhua are poorly translated. Hoping to see improvement in the future chapters in terms of story and characters.

Male lead died and reincarnated to redo his life. He becomes super OP because he already knows all the best materials and ways to get them, etc. The translation killed the story. With each chapter, the story makes less and less sense because the translation gets even worse with each chapter. It's like someone tried running the lines through Google Translate multiple times and then changing back to English. The art is not bad, but it's very hard to tell what the heck is going on.

Oh my god, this manhua is so funny. I love all the Chinese cultural references too, like the scholar placing ranks and the picture of the two of them in ideal fantasyland which was from Romance of the Red Chamber. That made me laugh so hard! I like how it doesn't take itself seriously, and it just runs with it. I only wish there were more chapters! The art is really good, and panelling is great. Really love this!
