very interesting and great chara design.
but what is the plot? also keep in mind that it's a bit hard to write a story about a sad 50 year old when you had a happy life, the story may appear forced, I'm not saying it's impossible though, so be wise when you pick your character personality

It's nice to see someone changing things up and not following tropes. Based on your main character though, I would suggest you make sure he gets a lot of character development due to his personality.

its not a bad idea, but one of te reasons of why the main character is a young boy/man is so that the reader (in shonen mangas obviously young people) can feel identified with the character and continue to read. I dont want this to sound like a negative comment or anything but just remember that, good luck with your webcomic man B)

Thanks for your feedback friend. I havent really come up with a plot ( I know that plot is what truly matters ). But I definitely wanna do something totally different. And this guy is pretty relatable to me because i've also suffered from depression in the past. Thanks again dude.

in that case it should work out fine, with the author putting his feelings into the main guy

It's a very interesting character base, though how you develop him through your story will be probably be the most interesting thing to see.

I wish you good luck and hope you're successful.

I think it will be better if you make him younger even a little bit.

Or why not go with "Time-travel back to when I was a teenager" story?

sorry to say this but that kind of mc is not gonna make me read your webtoon when it comes to shounen genre. just me ofc. but I know you want something different. how about the character Haruyuki Arita from Accel world?


but bottom line if your story is super good, then i don't really mind.

Yeah, Actually.
It holds a good chance for both comedy (His virginity and regret) and for heartfelt moments (Him trying to get better and stuff), So yeah, Send a link when you start.
Just don't try to go against the shounen tropes too much that it feels like you're taking all the tropes and just mirroring it.
I don't speak English that much, so please cut me some slack

I think having an older main character can add a nice change of pace, especially when they're few-and-far to come.

I think my main suggestion though is if you're subverting the 'young shonen protagonist' trope, make sure that's not the only thing going for your story and character. Premise doesn't matter as much as execution, so it's a good idea to keep your character's arc & story themes in mind.

HYPED for Monster Hunter Rise! (wish March 26th would come sooner)

I regret to inform you I'm actually terrible at monster hunter lmao
