This is just straight up garbage. It's an incredibly cliché story, the humor always falls flat, and the pages/panels feel insanely disorganized and confusing at times. Plus some chapters are interrupted by stupid "extra chapters" right when the story starts getting interesting, however because of the interruption you end up losing all the interest. The art is also just about average and the plot is rushed.
I dropped it after chapter 19 because it was obvious that the author was struggling for ideas to come up with a shitty cliché plot like the one they did. Seriously, it's worse than a telenovela/soap opera plot. It's fucking
...
disgusting.
Anyway, this was a waste of freaking time.

The FL in this story is pretty damn useless. For the most part, her 2nd try at life was just marginally better than her first go at it. At least for the vast majority of the series. She literally tried to destroy her own life countless times, even though all of her problems could've been dealt with with a simple phone recording of a conversation, or her confiding into her reliable second half.
Anyway, this is a truly frustrating manhwa that I only finished because of the pity I felt towards the ML. The amazing part is that the author of this crap gaslit the readers
...
that the ML was in the wrong for hurting the FL, when she was the one who stabbed him in the heart and took his feelings lightly for nearly the entirety of the series.

Uhh, so the MC in this one is a mediocre dude with no talent for martial arts. He has a cheat where when he eats monster meat he accumulates energy and can go up in realms that way. Even though he's hard working and probably has more practical experience than his peers he can barely occasionally fight above his realm, but not really. Let's say he's in the 3rd level, he can at most fight peak 3rd level but it's not guaranteed. As for multiple opponents, there's no way. Also, even though he often dreams about his past life in which he was a genius
...
scientist in a sci-fi world, he's really fucking stupid. And I mean REALLY FUCKING STUPID. He constantly thinks about how to not leave evidence that he was the one who killed someone and how to not implicate his friends/sect, however the precautions he takes are literally what exposes him. Leaving the corpses alone would be better than what he does. It's as if he's intentionally asking to be found out.
Aditionally, the animations are trash, the choreography is trash, the music is worse than trash (it'll put you to sleep), there's no plot at all (we don't know why everyone is fighting, it never ever gets mentioned and we're just supposed to accept that the factions are killing each other just for the sake of it), the power levels don't get explained at all, the environmnet and the world in general look like bland asset generated items (it's as if the animators intentionally picked the ugliest grayest and dustiest looking assets and randomly put them everywhere), and the prettiest girl/character in the donghua is MC's biological sister and it's not even close.
So yeah, it's a complete waste of time.

I can't believe this has no reviews as of 51 released chapters. It's honestly peak and I'm only giving it a 9/10 because it's still ongoing and there are still many ways to fuck it up.
Anyway, this manhwa has very good humor. Most jokes are honestly unexpected and will almost certainly make you laugh out loud. This humor contrasts with the darkness of the world building, and it doesn't take anything away from it.
The story is very immersive from the very first chapter, and as the chapters go on it kind of naturally builds up to something bigger and bigger and bigger, and this is
...
what keeps you engaged. Every chapter, even one that's mostly slice-of-life, feels like is serves a purpose in the grand scheme of things and to build up the next adventure of the leads. And whenever a side-character gets a proper introduction (meaning they're not just a background character), they're always interesting in one way or another.
Honestly, I can't praise thing manhwa enough. People could criticize it for being similar to Dandandan, which would be fair, however it's still fundamentally different. While in Dandandan the entire tone of the manga is purposefully ridiculous, in Legend of Dangun the general tone of the manga is serious, but it's some of the characters that act in ridiculous ways and make you laugh, and there are some characters that are always serious which keeps the tension up.
Definitely worth reading. It's honestly pretty refreshing to read something with peak world building and peak humor. Can hardly imagine someone reading this and thinking that they've wasted their time.

I gave it a fair try but I couldn't quite get to like the female lead, and if I don't like her after 1/3 of the manhwa, then I probably never will.
She was a pretty terrible person in her previous life and she isolated herself and pushed everyone that tried to care for her away, and then she went ahead and cheated on her husband because she was lonely. When her poor husband died on the battlefield after a conspiracy, she got exiled from the territory for being a cheater, which is honestly deserved, and her lover who was manipulating her also abandoned her. She
...
ended up homeless and in extreme poverty, and at the death's door she expressed to God that she didn't want her life to end this way and thus somehow regressed.
Now you would assume that upon her regression she would change her ways, but not really. Her personality didn't change much, she just lost her immaturity and extreme spending habits. Because she was a cheating bitch she accused the count of cheating on her and kept at it for like 2 dozen chapters, even though the count is literally the most inexperienced virgin in the freaking Kingdom and it's super obvious. She never felt remorse for cheating on her loyal husband in her past life, and kept misconstruing most of his actions as "evil" for a couple dozen chapters, even when everyone around her was telling her otherwise.
That's my problem. While her circumstances in her first life were unfortunate, she kept ruining her life over and over and over. But overall I'd say that she deserved to die a miserable and lonely death. If she was a side-character in a different novel that met such an end I wouldn't even blink an eye. But now I'm supposed to cheer for this girl who didn't even change that much after all the suffering she went through?
The other thing is that 95% of the male cast end up falling for her. Even the piece of shit prince that only ever manipulates people and is her husband's killer in the 1st life falls in love with her after meeting her briefly twice. And keep in mind that she didn't even interact with him that much, she only politely rejected his weird advances.
Finally, the worst thing is the community reading this crap. I saw countless comments saying that her cheating was fine because she was lonely in her first life. Like, seriously? Her husband tried to reach out but she was downright neurotic around him and kept pushing him away when he never as much as raised his voice against her. She was lonely because she wanted to be lonely! How is it okay to cheat because of that!?
Anyway, that's my problem with this one. I don't understand how it's so highly rated, especially on forums like Reddit. I only ever hear praise about this one. It's insane.

This manwha is pretty decent.
The main character goes back in time after his death and gets an extra ability from the King of Hell to help him in his second life. He's involved in judicial cases from the very moment of his regression, which happens to be the 2nd grade of middle school. I found the chapters where he helped people without even being a lawyer very entertaining because he found legal ways to assist them thanks to his extensive knowledge of the Law, legal procedures, and loopholes.
Another satisfying aspect is the fact that the legal cases just keep coming from pretty much the
...
second chapter without ever stopping, in rapid-fire succession. The cases the protagonist works on are almost always meaningful too, and he really goes out of his way to help people.
The translation that's commonly available online is also very good, and the translator frequently explains Korean legal terms allowing any reader to understand what's going on at any given moment.
It's a 7/10 though because the manhwa lacks 'soul', in my opinion. While it's nice to have dozens upon dozens of cases to entertain the readers, I feel like the more nuanced stuff like character development, relationship development, and relationship maintenance are lacking. It's kinda implied that all of the above happens off-screen but it ends up making the characters feel inhuman, in the sense that supposed friends and potential lover only contact the MC when they need his service, even though said friends/lover barely appear in dozens of chapters.
This is a problem with all manhwa that focus on stuff like career progression and/or office politics, though. They often go for telling instead of showing, which is insane to me considering that the medium of story telling is a comic. For example, they'll only show a career woman working in all the chapters she appears in, however occasionally they'll mention that she has 2 kids at home and is a single mother. Why not give her and the kids some panel space instead of mentioning this off-handedly? Heck, if the author really wants to he can just show her working at home while her kids are doing something in the background. The vast majority of the readers will not even remember this about her character in a few chapters and just think of her as a robotic workaholic.

I have been reading manhua, reading novels and webnovels about cultivation and martial arts, and watching various donghuas for many years now; to put it bluntly I've been hooked on the genre ever since I picked up my first cultivation manhua. One of my complaints with 99.9% of the series of this genre is that the romance sucks so much that I'd rather the author just skip it all together. Usually the MC either has intercourse with some random beauty because of an aphrodisiac while she's hurt/being chased by enemies; or/and the female is simply irrelevant to the story only serving as a burden to
...
the MC; or/and the female's actions are of no relevance to the story whatsoever.
Zhu Xian is quite literally driven by the romance between the characters. So much so that I believe that season 1 mostly serves as foreshadowing for the complicated problems and romantic drama of season 2. Seriously, it's so heart-wrenchingly depressing, from the soundtrack to the interactions between the characters, that I felt my heart go into my throat and my eyes tear up. Everything that happened wasn't overly melodramatic and made perfect sense with all the set up of the world setting we got in season 1. This was quite literally peak xianxia romance, and was way better than 90% of series (manga and manhwa included) that completely focus on romance and nothing else.
The overarching main plot didn't progress quite as fast as I expected it to for 26 episodes worth of time, but it was definitely interesting and continued to build on the mysteriousness of the world that we got to experience in season 1.
And as for the action scenes and animations, they were probably the very cream of the crop of donghua. I genuinely got goosebumps. Especially during the second half of the season. Seriously, they got progressively better throughout the season and peaked in the last 2 episodes in a very dramatic fight that was a resultet of an unfortunate but very understandable misunderstanding...
Overall, if you want to watch a donghua then I couldn't recommend Zhu Xian more, especially this 2nd season. The translation generally found on the free streaming sites isn't that bad, if anything it's above average. However, I would recommend torrenting the episodes with the translation from [Hall_of_C] as it's more consistent and as of 02/11/2024 they have released 22/26 episodes with their translation.

Oddly enough the art-style and the general development of the story reminds me of Chainsaw Man. However, the manga is held back by the excessive amount of erotic scenes, subtle and not so subtle NTR, and the fact that the protagonist is OP (unlike Denji), meaning that he already found his own path and we can't look forward to his development at all. I understand that this is meant to be an erotic isekai comedy, but it's really a shame because it could've been so much more if slightly more thought was put into the story and the author held himself back a little with
...
the sex scenes.
Still, other than watching MC's woman sucking a goblins dick once, this was pretty fun to read. Just pure dumb fun. And the story isn't bad at all either. 99% of the characters are absolutely insane, including the MC, and that's what gives me the Chainsaw Man vibes along with the gory art and absolutely ridiculous sex scenes. I mean, it isn't unusual for the MC to ride into battle with a girl on his dick...

Wow. This might be the most turbo virgin garbage manga out there. Countless hot fury babes jump our MC but he always panics, gets embarrassed, and refuses to even touch them without flinching, let alone doing something more to them. Not only that but he's also loyal to a fault in a world where loyalty isn't even really a concept, but he won't even touch the girl he likes without fainting and acting like a complete idiot. I've genuinely never seen someone so spineless. This is an explicit erotic manga, you know? The antagonists did more to his girls than he did throughout the entire
...
27 chapters of this story. Honestly, this is so so so bad that this manga's rating can either be 1, if you're a normal functioning human being, or 10, if you're a turbo masochist who wants to die from cringe.
On another note, the art is alright. Way way way above average, and more than this piece of garbage deserves. If you just look at the pictures and completely disregard every word in the text bubbles then this is 8.5/10. But if by some unfortunate twist of fate you end up reading a text bubble, you'll be left with nothing but the urge to gouge your eyes out.
Seriously, this is so bad that it's bordering insanity, as no sane person could come up with this. A random old man mob character on the street of this manga world would be a better MC than the MC of this story.

Zegapain is definitely a hidden gem. If you enjoyed The Matrix then I believe this anime can offer you an experience as deep if not deeper than that trilogy, personally I'm leaning towards Zegapain.
The episodes do a great job of plunging you from slice-of-life happiness into despair, and every single episode has unpredictable plot twists that will push the symbolic knife deeper into your heart, inch by inch. Usually, I don't appreciate how nihilism is portrayed in anime and manga, but Zegapain portrayed hopelessness beautifully and dealt with it in the only proper way it could've been dealt with in the context of the world
...
of this anime: not through fancy theories and flowery words, but through the protection of the person loved by the protagonist. Sometimes simple works best. In the oppressive world of Zegapain, where our protagonist is carrying innumerable burdens and a heavy duty, this simplicity was really a breath of fresh air. A very much needed breath of fresh air at that. Oh, and I don't mean "dumb" by saying "simple" by any means.
Unexpectedly, the character development was absolutely excellent. I'm saying "unexpectedly" because the main character is a loud rowdy type of guy. Annoying, right? Except he actually thinks about stuff pretty deeply and the changes to his character are really felt by the viewer and by the people around him. His childhood friend also has great character development at one point, but I can't say the same thing about everyone else. They kind of feel "complete", however there's a very good reason for that feeling, and it makes sense from the perspective of the plot, so the fact that everyone else doesn't get character development ends up making the story better. Amazing, huh? It's the first time I've seen something like this.
The scientific concepts were used very liberally, however the explanations were plausible enough nonetheless. At the end of the anime there were barely any plot holes left, and the ones that were left weren't serious enough to warrant criticism from me. Without spoiling anything I can say that the ending was conclusive enough on all aspects, romance included, and it left me satisfied. But I felt that it wasn't big or epic enough. We're saving the world from a mad-scientist, you know? Why not go out with a BANG?
As far as the animations go, it's above average for 2006, but it's nothing special either. I can't say that I appreciate the way the post-apocalyptic world was portrayed though. Everything is in ruins, everything is grey. I wish there were more colors, more greenery growing on the buildings, more wild animals and not just birds that pop up occasionally. Yeah, the world is supposed to feel dead, but it's just too dead. The mecha fights were meh at best too. Definitely not the strong point of this show.
That being said, if you want an interesting story that will keep you on your toes, then this is a great anime, probably approaching the levels of a masterpiece, especially if you can appreciate character development and a protagonist that grows stronger mentally and not "physically", as he's already the best pilot around from the start. But if you just want to watch robots fighting and don't plan on paying too much attention to the plot, then this isn't for you. The plot is definitely what makes this anime good, the mechas and the fights are just there for some tension.
9.4/10, best girl won (watch the post-credit scene of the last episode). MAL ratings really can't be trusted, I put off watching this for so long...
