Sword Emperor previous life, Prince Trash this life. - Reviews

I don't like the artwork. The choreography and intensity of the fight scenes are alright, but the ugliness prevalent throughout basically everything else drags the entire visual aesthetic down for me. Especially with the characters. The characters feel misproportioned and the eyes sit awkwardly on the faces and they generally just don't look good.

Storywise, I have found things quite enjoyable and easy to read. The reluctant hero archetype is a classic and this manga makes use of it in a pretty good way. Because of the experiences in feir past life, our protagonist is almost suicidal in some of feir thoughts, and this also leads to some interesting contradictory aspects to feir motives and personality. Fe struggles with feelings of loneliness and self-hatred, and yearns to find a reason for living so that fe can die with a smile on feir face. I think that some of the internal struggles could've been portrayed more grippingly and realistically, but I think that the manga still did a pretty decent job with it.

I like the fight scenes. Well, I guess I should say that I like several of the fight scenes. I appreciate that the fights have legitimate intensity to them and involve some neat superpowers being shown off, but I wish that the manga didn't fall back on the idea of allies dueling each other so much and I also think that the self-reflection and philosophizing which occurs in the middle of some of the fights comes across as kinda out-of-place. I'm not sure how much longer this manga can have our protagonist maintain the facade of being a "trash prince," but I have been enjoying that aspect of the manga and the way it leads Fai to acting in more covert ways.

It had a lot potential but for some reason its ruined after a few chapters. The art style ruined the story. The mc is poorly potrayed. By no means im saying this is trash but it could have been better. 

It is a decent manga to read and worth to  recommend.Art is great with some cool fights.The pacing is nice but the plot execution is not that good.

Our mc is a pessimistic individual who lost his reason to live after losing his loved ones in his previous life,hence commiting suicide.He again got a chance to relive by reincarnating as a prince.He committed to live his new life abstaining from holding sword ,as its a weapon that only take lives of other people's live and also ultimately its user.So he was continuing his lazy life until he went to war.

Soon we get to see him changing morals and believes there in a single chapter and I felt it was rushed a lot.Now he decided to wield a sword to protect his loved ones.But he still goes through conflicting idealogies a lot.

This manga starts off pretty good but later on a lot of plot holes start occurring. The personality of the main character is very poorly portrayed. He is always confused about everything and side characters are too vague. Other then that the art of this manga is nice on the eyes. The fight scenes are the best and the overall story is also good. Read this only if you can bear the personality of the main character and a lot of unnecessary text bubbles.
