Only on the manga, I know a lot of these have a LN and the only one I'm currently pondering is Solo Leveling or Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint (though those are korean)

i recommend to just read the manwha for solo leveling. it's way better than the webnovel. however, the wn has been fully translated if you really want to see where the story goes.

Yeah, Solo Leveling is an OK to good story with incredible art. You lose a bit of that in the novel. The art really makes it.

I've been really enjoying Overgeared more than some of the other Manwha I keep an eye on (Solo Leveling, Returning Sorcerer, 8-Circle Mage etc)

Dong Wook Lee

EDIT: looks like this is a remake of the Park Saenal one, the descriptions i found were almost identical.

EDIT2: Park Saenal is the author of the K-novels this manwha is an adaption of.

There are two Overgeared Manwha's. One was so bad the author of the Web Novel threatened to quit writing the novel unless they changed who was making it, because the dude making the manwhas was changing everything to suit his preferences and making all kinds of weird decisions to edit the story.

I thought the first overheated stopped because the guy died or crippled his hand or something

Editorial fight is a little better, I guess

I've only read about the first one in the comments on Reaper Scan's translations of the second one, but yeah I heard it was editorial fight.

Apparently the changes were super weird too. Like making the initial blacksmith (who taught him to make arrows) a 10 year old girl who follows Grid after he leaves the not-starting town, and making Irene look like a fat pig woman instead of beautiful.

OK so the current Overgeared is basically a re-release with new art and sticking a bit closer to the original WN? If so I'll check it out.

Asking since I read the first one with the 10 year old blacksmith and yeah, it wasn't good and was really kinda weird in places.

Yeah it's a complete restart with intention to stick as closely to the WN as possible. With much better art too.

I'm trying to recall an isekai with two sisters but can't recall much about it other than I think it completed and it got posted on here. It's not Two Saints just to get that one out of the way. The two sisters had some issues if I recall with one supporting the other through them or something to that effect.

I'm almost all the way through the first novel for undead adventurer but I'm really enjoying it so far. The protagonist has been a likable guy and has seemed to earn his abilities unlike a lot of light novel protagonists. He had years of experience but lacked the physical abilities to apply his grizzled wisdom, but now comes across the means to finally achieve his lifelong goal but it's tempered with the loss of his humanity. A neat premise and I enjoy the way people talk in the series so far. Hopefully it stays a quality series with the later books. I'll probably continue to read them once I finish this first novel.

Yes I think that might be it since according to Mangadex I had read some chapters of it. There was another one where the mains were blonde or at least fair haired, but I think that's Two Saints.

I can second this.

It's treading pretty hard into the trope of having a CEO/Major Boss furious over loss of face and wanting to destroy the MC but all the medical stuff is especially interesting.

Yeah, but we've been through a few points in the story where Kim Jihyun has a choice between do nothing and try to save a life at personal cost and his decision is always 'I reject my medical license, Jojo!' and it works for him every time. At this point, I'm just convinced that it's part of the deal the angel gave him that his life will always be full of strife but so long as he doesn't compromise his morals it'll work out in the end because it just keeps happening.

A lot of this isn't losing his license though, it's will I give them a legit reason to fire me, and it usually is, ahh, I don't give a gently caress, I can work elsewhere, and he even contemplating quitting to actually do just that, but he has this thought like gently caress em, I want to win.

He could 100% be a Dermatologist somewhere else easy.

Speaking of Manwha this just released with 20 chapters and i'm already down with the premise and main character.

https://leviatanscans.com/comics/929440-trash-of-the-counts-family

a short description based on my late-night read:

its Isekai closer to the Villainess Otome game direction but if the character was a "trash noble" who is supposed to be a minor antagonist in the journey of what's basically a JRPG hero. He's using his knowledge of world to basically ingratiate himself with the hero, not get beaten up, and not get caught up in the grand conflict the hero is going to save everyone from (he's failing miserably at this one)

kim roksoo wakes up in the world of a novel that he had read as cale henituse, the trash of the count's family. determined to live a long, painless and comfortable life, he does all he can to keep himself protected and safe. Though he tries to avoid annoying circumstances and keeps to himself, he is ultimately drawn to many of the world's conflicts becoming the central figure in many of their events.
? it's right there in the link.

https://mangadex.org/title/53724/trash-of-the-count-s-family/chapters/ there's a bit more fleshed out description on mangadex and I see two other groups are working on it as well but I haven't looked at their chapters to see if they did a better job. kinda wish leviatan was proofreading their tl better, it's a bit rough.

leviatan has been dropping series left and right lately, after which they are continued on mangadex under the name of another group that doesn't actually seem to be scanlating them. it's a very shallow pretense but maybe it is enough to get past c&d's.

as for trash count, i thought the main appeal of the wn was all the low key gay flirting. everything else kind of meanders.

Trash of the Count's Family (the wn) suffers a lot from white space syndrome so it's nice to see a manwha of it. I had originally dropped the wn early, but reading through the manwha made me pick it back up again, and I'm glad I did.
