Normally I'm the sort of person who likes to turn off my brain and read trash, but this series is an exception. I think this might legitimately be the most interesting take on an OP protagonist I've ever seen. It's entertainingly funny near the start (although some of the gags have some deeper undertones that are only apparent when you think back on them after reading more) and it picks up more dramatic momentum as the story progresses. I've reread it several times, and would definitely recommend picking it up and reading it until the end.

Characters: 10/10

What makes it so fantastic are the characters ... and their development. Naga, the protagonist, has the strongest power in the world, but he is an ordinary, decent person. He is flawed like an average high school student. He wasn't born with the personality of a star combatant; he has a strong sense of guilt and a weak stomach. That, however, doesn't mean he can live in peace; far too many people are interested in his power for that to happen. Also worth mentioning is his boss, Dana, who is easily my all-time favorite female hero. She exudes fantastic amounts of sheer badassery while at the same time being very human. The rest of the cast is great too; it's quite varied and the characters all have their own stories and personalities. I could go on about them for a long time.

Story: 9/10

The story has lots of funny moments and lots of meaningful ones. If I had to describe it overall, it's the story of the journey of the protagonist's character. There are a lot of other stories and messages interwoven, but I think that's the core of it.

In a way, it's is quite uplifting. Instead of showing one-sidedly how power corrupts, it also shows how people can remain good even under immense emotional pressure. The clashes between the philosophies of different characters lead to some moments and realizations that I often now think of when reading other works. There's a fantastic scene where the main villain taunts a fallen hero and his remarks cut to the bone because he's right.

Art: 7.5/10

The art isn't super high-production or anything, but it conveys everything it should. It does what it needs to in order to effectively tell the story. It wouldn't be worth reading for the art alone, but the art doesn't hold it back.

Enjoyment: 10/10

I found it really enjoyable. It keeps you entertained or deeply interested, depending on the part. It has more than enough depth to get engaged with the world of the story. As such, when something cool happens, you really feel it.

Overall: 10/10

Overall, this might be my favorite webtoon ever. It's definitely the one that's given me the most to think about. It's really well-constructed, the characters are fantastic, and it's amazing to watch it unfold. It's memorable and has lots of neat or really funny little details in the art. The OP protagonist concept is expanded on in a thoughtful but riveting way. Honestly, I'd call it beautiful. It might need a bit of patience beyond "I want to see blood now", though, so give it a try when you're in the mood.

Preliminary (Unknown/301 eps)

So where to start, have you ever read famous comics like batman, spiderman, onepunchman, etc? This is a superhero manwha, but it's like none of these mentioned before. So what makes this manwha different than your average superhero story? It's silly beyond everything. It has some drama in it, but the overall theme is about over the topness, parody and silliness.

So the protagonist starts out as a plain highschool kid with an immense amount of superpowers. Hes superpowers are extent of a god, but hes physics are really weak, and hes not the smartest tool in the box. So he uses hes powers to ...

Preliminary (199/301 eps)

This is Gintama, but webtoon version.
The story starts out fun. It's all jokes and laughs. And then it's not. All of a sudden, things quickly turn dark really, really quickly. The laughter turns into tears, the jokes turn into sadness.
This is a tale of twisted love stories.

Story- 8
The story is set in a world where almost everyone is a "mix", granting them abilities. For example, one of the characters inside is half otter half human. Yeah, it sounds weird but for some reason, it blends in naturally. It's sort of like Boku no hero academia. Anyway, our main lead Naga has a pretty powerful ...
