It's given that those who read similar materials from other Korean authors might find it boring and just another copycat. To end this short review, I 'd recommend this to readers who are not too picky about the plot. Great shadow and lighting is also achieve. Coloring is just as magnificent, the artist didn't do anything unnecessary to show off. Human features are well-proportioned, facial expressions are not exaggerated and the isometric environment provided proper space for the characters to move. It's neat, not rushed and you just now that the artist put alot of effort. If there is one thing that differentiate TGMRAFY from the norm it's definitely the art. I have to give some praises for Kim Deok-Yong and his team for the art. It's interesting how Lucas will deal with him in the next chapters (?, if ever there is one). One particular interesting character that I'm waiting to come to light is Frey Blakes's biological father who disowned him. Isabelle is a bit clingy but not enough to be irritating. Being level-headed definitely fitted his greatest magician background.Īside from the trainee Isabelle which can be prematurely referred to as the female lead and the guy surnamed Jun there are no other characters really worth a mention at this moment. Another great quality of this webtoon is how they build Lucas' personality. Through his 4000 years of solitude, magic in the continent has deteriorated but there are some improvements in the functionality of magic tools, like the so-called warp gates. Residing in Frey's body, Lucas' interactions with the people around so far have created interesting scenarios for readers to hold and continue. If the reader can persist in the first few chapters then this might be a great addition to bookmark collectors. Storywise I think one redeemable quality of this novel is starting slow but gaining a steady momentum. The story progresses as Lucas fulfilling the will of Fey to change for the better and personal goal of getting stronger for his next encounter with Demigod.įrankly, the opening chapter for TGMRAFY is a little bland but it's not that bad for a first chapter drop. Somehow his soul gave chance for Lucas to escape. Although there are similarities most of the materials tend to have an identity of their own.įrey Blake committed suicide because he can't stomach the treatment coming from the society and even his own family. Korean works on the otherhand put some good twist into it. I'm not saying that all chinese works are bad but majority of them felt like reproductions of each other. Frey is your typical loser guy which is actually very common in Chinese manhuas and novels, but Koreans did better in adapting them.

Lucas was freed because of the soul of Frey Blake. Why not kill? Like we said earlier Demigod seems to be the type of guy who pleasures from seeing people in pain, especially for an 'egotistical' human like Lucas.

Anyways, Lucas is no match for Demigod, he was sealed in agony for 4,000 years. Based on his tone as I read it, it's either he is threatened by the rate of Lucas' growth or just you plain old undead being that want to torment humans. In most cases necromancer type bosses tend to be very cunning. Demigod referred Lucas Traumen as an egotistical being. He got this long robe and a hood that encompasses much of face except for those lazer beam eyes. Goodness, if your quite savvy with Greek mythology this can be quite uncomfortable being a reference.ĭemigod is your typical undead-necromancer type boss. It just bothers me that while he refers to himself as a 'God' in that world but chose to call himself Demigod. I don't know if it is what it is or the translation from korean to english is not accurate. My only problem is just how they reference the names. This is not something new, as stories like this one often have the'final boss' as an element. After displaying his prowess he now encountered the creature known as Demigod. The story starts with great magician Lucas Traumen achieving the epitomy of power as a level 9 human mage and defeating the evil beings that threaten the human world. TGMRAFY is a korean webtoon written by a guy named barnacle and is illustrated by Kim Deok-Yong of redice studio. Of course, whatever I wrote can still be considered as first impressions as the number of chapters might not be enough to get all the juice out of it. I think that the TGMRAFY's story has great balance in aspects like world-building and characterization. And even though it is not something out of this world as I've seen this in webtoons like I am The Sorcerer King by Decaspel and many others. Unfortunately, somehow it once again awaken the binge-reader inside of me.

They did a great job with 25 chapters now available.

A few days ago reaperscans started mass releasing this webtoon.
