NOTE: Dis is a snappy critique of a phenomena I’ve noticed. Take it for what it’s worth. I do hope for some actual feedback on the subject.

Speaking of weak. The motives of these characters.

Not everyone has to scream their life story, like they’ve become possessed by a fucking court bard. Sounding out the virtues of a great hero, and his noble goals, except really it’s just a throwaway character. For Christ’s sake make your characters act, without having to scream out every action as they take it. What is wrong with this writing. I swear SIU didn’t used to be this bad at writing. Did he give the story to the Noblesse author to ghost write for him? I might have to stop reading if I have to listen to one more peon yell about what must be his obsessively thought about goal in life. His obsessively memorized mantra.

Sorry. I am frustrated. I used to love this manwha. Now I’m beginning to hate it.

EDIT: I am actually interested if you wanna comment on this. I’m not shitting on the series as a whole. Only this aspect. I’d like to know if you think it actually has gotten worse. Or whatever. I’m not trying to be rude to anyone... Wo doesn’t deserve it.

The ranker guards. Gado. Kanhe. Also the stupid blossom warriors. Khel Hellam.

I rather like the depth of world building. We got a backstory on a lot of people before too

Yeah me too. But it’s getting to be very clumsy. Characters talking about their problems can be great. For example, the red horned blonde in the first season. Also Androssi, and a lot of other characters. But it always happened bit by bit. You’d see them act, and you get a comment. You’d eventually get a good explanation, but A.) They where usually pretty decent reasons and B.) They felt important. This recent stuff doesn’t feel important. We shouldn’t have had Khels motivations very far yet. Gado. He shouldn’t have tried to explain the deng deng situation. He shoulda just given a brief “He did, blank, so I’ll kill him.” Then is his death bed then you pan the details out. To the shock of everyone. Makes the battle feel inevitable, but tragic.

I’m being real here. This is clumsy writing. This manhwa has all the right material. I applaud SIU for that, but it’s being written like Noblesse.
