After reading the first few chapters, I was so intrigued by the story that I went ahead and read the original version in Chinese. Before I continue, you should understand that even though I can read and understand Chinese, I rarely read manhwa in Chinese. I always prefer reading English materials, even if the translation isn't that good. The fact that I would even do so should indicate how good the story is. Now, you might start to wonder why I only gave 7 points for the story even though I am praising it. You'll understand why once you read further.

So, I went ... ahead and read the Chinese version all the way to the latest chapter, which was chapter 140. At that point, Tang San had already reached 20 years old... Without including his previous life, it means that the manhwa has already covered 14 years of his life. When I first reached the latest chapter of the manhwa, I gave it an incredible score of 9. I would have given it a 10 but there were some flaws within the story. There were numerous points in the manhwa that simply glossed over what happened and left me confused, but even with these flaws, it was still incredible. So, why did I change my score?

I changed it because I went and read the novel.

I couldn't wait for the latest chapter to arrive, so I went ahead and read the novel. I needed to know what happened next and I was rewarded for it. The novel went through every single detail that the manhwa failed to deliver. It revealed many more details that didn't appear in the manhwa and explained the actions of the characters. The many plot holes that were in the manhwa were not in the novel. The manhwa tried to change the storyline in some parts and resulted in disastrous plot holes that appeared in future chapters. There were also quite a divergence in the mentality of the characters, especially the main character.

In the end, it was an interesting experience but failed to deliver in some parts. However, I would definitely recommended reading the novel.

Splashyyy's five-sentence-reviews! This time: Combat Continent

Mediocre, generic story of a boy that trains himself to protect the ones he holds dear.
The best thing about this chinese Manhua is the art, too bad the characters seem rather shallow and generic, a perfect fit for the story though.

Combat Contient is not bad, but it isn't great either. I read this on and off during the times I find nothing better to read. I highly don't know why this series had such a high rating, but I feel like reading the Novels is most likely the better choice if you want to engage in this story.

The entire story is a trash and generic.
The entire plot revolves around tang, tang being the best.. tang the strongest... the son of the strongest person... WOW NO SHIT SHERLOCK. EVERTHING IS HIM, there is no story about the other

and the story has a lot of infos even about the slightest thing, I don't know about the others but I really HATE IT, telling an entire 2 goddamn paragraph of a herb and some shit attacks that's NEVER EVER gonna be recalled in the future plot.

And the characters all SUCK, none of them have a single good back story,

the art ... is really bad too
