I Am the Sorcerer King - Reviews

Completely repetitive character expressions for every single character throughout the manhwa. It makes me cringe every time they use the 'have one eye closed' expression multiple times for every chapter. I usually keep complaints to a minimum when reading something new but i had to force myself to see if theres anything i might be too harsh on. Art is alright, story could be improved, put more work on making it more unique, ESPECIALLY the expressions. You gotta make the characters more likeable that way instead of being lazy with it. 

Edited Review: Honestly, it's something to waste some time on if you're bored, but it's nothing outstanding and here's why: 

The author has no idea what they're doing.  The first 20 chapters seem like every cliche 'gate' and 'hunter' manga/manhwa meshed into one, with terrible art to boot.  Around chapter 40-ish the art starts to get a little better, though the characters can hardly ever seem to keep their both or even either of their eyes open.  Plot-wise, things that were interesting start to be a little more interesting, and you get a hint of some bigger plot. 

Then it all goes downhill a bit later.  They throw in random tropes, it starts feeling like a bad crossover, there's a lot I can't say without spoiling things but at a certain point the author is clearly just throwing in random things to slow down their overly overpowered main character from actually solving the plot, and giving him more issues to need to resolve.  If this was an episodic serial, where every 'episode' was different, then maybe 'going on forever' wouldn't seem so contrived, but in this it certainly does. 

I made it to chapter 103 before I had to drop it but it wasn't because I was interested, I was just bored and it wasn't so bad that I couldn't push through in hopes it would get better.  Then in that chapter, something happened, and now it IS that bad, lol.  It's a mess. 

From mage to karate with the typical funny chinese guy.

Yeah, U might consider it a Solo Leveling rip off but after 'Enter the Dragon' premise it got just ridiculous. Like some soup ad.

The story is such a mess that I had it really hard to understand what was going on in the first 20 chapters. There was once a sorcerer, he died and reincarnated, had no issues with earth, suddenly some rpg system occured and it says he has knowledge from another world, although being watched he just get skills based on his previous knowledge, although the rpg system is steril so it shouldn't be possible because the magic and mana consuption is strictly maintained by the system.

What else made it really stupid was his behaviour - 'ooo just watch, this is my new skill!' or '-what have U done?; - Oh, didn't I tell U my new skill?'. Or his greedy mindset. I really don't like him. Curse contracts with death penalty if his friends don't have a 'friendly realtionship' with him? How petty can he be... hehehe srsly he is like all the pathetic overpowered antagonists we are happy about when they get defeated and get thrown in a s***thole :) From A to Z money money money.

I think the Author should rework it or at least should have double check it before releasing. The Art is at the same level but edible. With some effort the artist will surely become better with time.

To sum it up. It's around 150 chapters of action urban fantasy with some rpg elements. If U don't like it after 10 chapters than U shouldn't waste Ur time any further.

I am very pleased by this story. You might see some similarities with others in the same genre but it has its own uniqueness. First of all the mc is smart, like really smart. He knows how to lay low, gather his strength and then come out with full power. He isn't just running around slaying monsters. He actually has a plan, and a well detailed one at that. I like how we also have an explanation on how things work and their possible use. Although I think his power are too OP, it is still within the range of good storytelling. Definitely in the top 10 of isekai manwha for me.

I dont like those extras story... i like to just focus on the MC and the conflic.. thats it.. those extras story made the story fckd up..
