7.3/10


I must note that this should be one of the biggest piece of garbage I’ve read, but there’s something about this manwha that just keeps bringing me back. To elaborate on the HUGE negatives: The purposely-made dumb main character, the directionless plot line, and the deus ex machina should make this the biggest piece of garbage ever created. However, each negative is counterbalanced with the comedic approach/reaction of each character alongside with their (some-how formed) attachment creates an irresistible obsession on this manwha.

There’s not much good about this manwha, but it somehow passes as an acceptable read, purely due to the characters alone. Expect ... a great time-waster when you’re about to read this, but it could be a great obsession if you ignore every other fault. Btw, from my memory, the initial chapters are pretty frustrating, but you’ll get used to it.

"The Creator Is on Hiatus" is the kind of story that starts with a cool idea—what happens when the god of a world takes a break?—but then forgets to actually do anything with it. The plot meanders aimlessly, with characters more lost than the readers, waiting for something, *anything*, to happen. Spoiler: it never does. The pacing is glacial, filled with filler arcs that feel like they’re stretching a thin story even thinner, while any attempt at world-building fizzles out before it even gets going. The whole thing feels like it’s stuck in an eternal hiatus, and by the end, you'll wish the author had ... just taken a permanent vacation instead of dragging us along for this tedious ride.

Another Korean Manhwa ended and the time came for this series.
The Creator Is on Hiatus takes the perspective of an MC developing as an author through a mobile game.
While the story is fairly unique, it's not as exciting as the other series.
Hey, you know what's going on, but we can only say it's cool and nothing more.
There are times when you will find yourself questioning why things are happening due to a lack of details.
Some scenes don't make sense and some characters could have been explored more.

Besides the flaws, this series is not bad, it's better than most. A completely original story sticking to the ... fundamentals of its core story without relying on tropes isn't an easy feat to accomplish.

This Manhwa is a decent read, you can try it yourself if you wish.
