As I said just now the story is basically the main characters Han Bi Kwang story from some point in time and his development in the world of Murim (Martial Arts World) which he seems to have no interest on, he is basically your next door pervert with his only goal to get a pretty woman for himself and settle down, but fates and bloodlines in the world of Martial Arts won't let this genius and stupid protagonist go in peace. In general the story will follow Han Bi Kwang as story unrolls, in a very hilarious way, sometimes you will simply read a chapter again and again and you will laugh your heart out each and every time. Story : 8/10 - Like Hajime no Ippo and Dragon Ball the authors aren't afraid of showing a lot more ecchi than others, not in a sexual way simply, but making the comedy simply brilliant that will make you feel like nothing else can make you feel bad the day you read Ruler of the Land.
The art is obviously old, since it has been almost 20 years Ruler of the Land started publishing, but it is still really good, only yesterday I started reading a new series which the art might as well had been done by an 6-year old, so don't let this series go because it's art is oldschool-like, I bet you haven't seen art quite like it before. Fight scenes are outstanding, scenery destruction and ground breaking are quite normal here and you will see it a lot, doublepages for the fight scenes are used more than a lot, which makes special attacks and huge swords and blades really amazing. Ecchi scenes are really well made, as said before they make the story hillarious. Art : 7/10 - It's old so i won't give more, but had it been made more recently undoubtlly it would be 10/10.
The characters are very well made and no matter how serious a character is in this series you WILL at some point in time, in this series, laugh your guts out with each and everyone of them specially with our main character Bi-Kwang and the way he is either perverted or sarcastic with the other characters. Character : 8/10 - there isn't much work in the characters as in their mind and way of thinking, the world is split basically in black force and white force, and people in each force hate the counterpart, our only variable would be the main character who just couldn't care less.
The enjoyment is outstanding, you will laugh like you most likely only did when you watched Dragon Ball (uncensored cuz TV screwed with an amazing series) and reading Hajime no Ippo. So far we have around 260 chapters, and in my opinion even if we reach 1000 like Hajime no Ippo, Ruler of the Land is worth reading a hundred times over and the comedy won't get old enough or tiring. Enjoyment : 10/10
In Overall : 8/10 - This series is really old-school in my opinion, I can spare fingers in my hand if i try to count how many "new" series made me laugh like this one and other rather old ones did. The story has an inner plot deep inside, but it isn't the main focus here. Mangas are far more vast in numbers than Manhwas, and Manhwas usually surprise us with it's different "logic" that mangas have, this one specifically will surprise you in ways that you have to re-start a chapter you were reading because you started to laugh for 10 minutes halfway through the chapter. More than worth reading over and over and supporting.
