I have read this on and off months apart so I recognize my review may not be completely accurate. I like the start so try it and make your own opinions. I am curious what ppl think
first 100 chaps, pretty much what youd expect, goes through Ihwa becoming an fake hero. Pretty standard shounen genre. 7/10
Some plot stuff I felt iffy about
After a year, I return to ch 92, I notice:
a lot of cleavage- too much fanservice its hard to take anything seriously
I be reading casual dialogue/ exposition dump and boom, super rendered breasts
LIKE IHWA IS DROWNING SOMEONE IN HER SINK WE DONT NEED
...
DETAILED FANSERVICE (ch100-101 if you want to see what i mean)
a lot to be desired with the plot
rip shell knight
all the characters feel disposable, why should i care for any of them? no plot since i picked up
Like after ch90, has any action gotten her closer to solving the mystery?
Rant and spoilers:
HAHAHAHA SO APPARENTLY "CHAIN' HAS THE ABILITY OF REWINDING TIME, basically a better version of eri's quirk from MHA MAKING THE WEILDER ESSENTIALLY IMMORTAL???? WHO DESIGNED THIS??? NO EST DRAIN EITHER (why is it spammable) ! OH BUT THE CAVEAT IS 'i feel a little unwell after I rewind each time' BIG WOOP. IHWA CHEATS DEATH EVERY OTHER DAY (John's baby ability and now chain's sword ability)
Theres a big fight around ch128 and as far as I can tell, Nenya just got killed, with no buildup too. Which feels like a huge waste of story? Nenya was picked up my Ihwa ON A WHIM. Nenya being a super powerful powerup in the body of a child. So Ihwa, being on a revenge quest, decides to reject the power amp, but instead adopt the child and liability. I do forget how she adopts her but I remember thinking this was out of character. Anyway, shes dead. And a pretty strong enemy ended up getting stronger because Ihwa didn't take the powerup sooner!
This leads me to my other complaint of how it doesnt feel like characters are getting stronger? Ihwa from the first 90 chapters got some abilities? but now she hasn't really been getting new powers besides like one from a really sudden fight (and even then, it turned out to be worthless, of no help as of where i am-ch128) We are shown how strong to top ranks of hero society (the elders) are during their group conflict, and ihwa has a really long way to go. Even Engen says he isnt strong enough, leading him to go to some tower to get stronger (much of which we dont see, we just see him arrive and summon some shadows, and next we know hes out and got stronger) Currently, Ihwa can easily beat random heroes, even some elites, but the "big name" heroes, she needs someone to bail her out or backup. Who knows, maybe nenya isnt dead and gives her the powerup she needs.
TLDR;
plot: 5/10
art: 6/10
characters: 6/10 (i liked shell knight, shes like the only character recently who even stood out, other than her everyone dies or barely does anything before leaving)
I like the concept and I definitely believe Hero Killer can get better.
Ihwa needs to be stronger. EVERYONE in the story has been hyping her up CONSTANTLY and I dont think shes living up to it.
I think the first 90 chapters werent so irritating for me because there was the sense of accomplishment: Ihwa was becoming a "hero." Now that she graduated, it feels like she isnt doing anything to reach her goal of avenging her sister. Theres paladin who knows sometihng, but he fight just have died already in the most recent fight i dunno~
OH YEAH IHWAS DAD IS JUST ROAMING AROUND IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE BY THE WAY
