Truly a rare gem in a sea of mediocrity that has come out of the power fantasy, isekai tropes, but Mookhyang: Dark Lady takes these familiar concepts and fuses them with the gritty intensity of wuxia and murim storytelling. Resulting in a refreshing and action-packed series that stands out in a genre often filled with generic power-fantasy protagonists..
The story is about Mookhyang, the powerful leader of the Demon cult from the murim world that got transported to a whole different world. At the beginning after mc got isekaid, the story served itself as your generic power-fantasy manhwa but at around chapter 20 is where the
...
story started getting more interesting and mc finding out that there's more to the world than he thought and there are many things and beings out there that are much stronger than the current him.
The characters in this is goodly written as in that no one is entirely evil, and no one is entirely good. At one point the story would depict this character as evil but as time past it shows that the character is just fighting for their cause out of desperation or for the safety of the family, country. Another thing that I really like is the realistic portrayal of politics, international conflicts and morals depicted as it one of the main thing that drives the growth of characters.
If there’s one downside, it’s that the pacing can sometimes slow down with exposition-heavy moments, but these are balanced out by the gripping action and character development
Final Verdict:
A thrilling blend of martial arts, reincarnation, magic and fantasy, Mookhyang: Dark Lady delivers breathtaking action and a refreshingly serious take on the OP power-fantasy trope. With a ruthless yet intelligent protagonist, stunning fight sequences, and a richly built world, this is a must-read for fans of wuxia and murim stories.

I now understood why this manhwa was soo highly rated..
Villain Are Destined To Die is your daily isekai manhwa where the mc is thrown into a game. MC is isekaid into the hard mode of an Otome game as of the main villain of the Normal mode but MC of Hard mode, even though she had completed the game in Normal mode, she soon discovered that everything is not as simple as it seems in normal mood.
First and foremost the story, plot writing nothing seems exceptional in the first half as the 1st half are more focus on the characters relations, personality, past etc.
...
In the 2nd of the story is where the plot starts plotting about the world building, secrets of the world, secrets of the hard difficulty that wasn't shown in the normal difficulty and the secret of the Mc of the game......Solid 8/10
Characters in this are also goodly written, from the MC, ML to the sides. You could see the character growth from straight up douche to a decent guy, you could see the emotional growth as they try to mend their relationship, make it up for their past mistakes. The only minus in terms of character writing I could find is how funny it seems that some side character does a complete 180 change in like 4 chapters... overall 8/10 character writing.
On the last point, the art, it is beautiful to say the least, have seen better but still it beautifully conveys the mood, emotions nicely not just flat colors like some others... 8/10 for art
There are also a slight gripe that I personally find it stressful. The reason is because of the mc inner monologue with herself after getting help from any of the ML. For example, 1 of the ML helped mc with a thing, the normal reaction would be thankful or grateful but not this Mc, her 1st inner monologue would be a twisted version of the kindness she got. I understand why she's like this, but come on... not at every interaction with ML. That's all I gotta say.
Is it bad? hell no!
Is it the best? maybe.
Is it good? Yes! A solid 8/10
Haven't read the completed novel but I could guess what could happened, yeah... grey hair out.... Gold supremacy!!!!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

It is one of the best drama ever been created, anyone who gives this 8/10 or lower is not valid and should be banished. Emotionally Suffocating is the best way I can describe this masterpiece of art, having to watch Shuri going through her life as a single young stepmother in a world where a single miss-step could cause everything to crumble.
The incredible plot writing showcases the everchanging unexpected future. The ethereal majestic art perfectly brings out the emotions, the mood, and the ambiance that makes me feel as if I'm there witnessing it 1st hand. The realistic remarkable character writing and their growth
...
as a person, their struggles, the ups and downs and fighting against it with their all, the mesmerizing love story and the complicated interpersonal relationships, every little detail and all the ups and downs along with the excellent character writing of the antagonist; each and everything about it overwhelms me with utter intensity. Everything plays out with utmost perfection. And not to mention this story makes me feel like I'm not just a reader but a bystander in the very story while overseeing everything taking place before my very eyes. I can empathize with them without even realizing it.
Also if there 1 thing about this series that's unique to it, it keeps the focus pretty much on the level of what the characters realistically get to deal with, the power struggle between the church, the nobles, and the royal family. It doesn't have a random plot where Shuri rescues a random NPC who then becomes her undying servant, cures the pandemic, or wipes out a secret cult in one go because that's not what she's trying to do. Throughout the story, Shuri makes choices for her family, her people, and possibly also for herself after taking each possible consequence that may come or how her choices might end up with people who she can't afford to offend. And I'm glad she made those choices, not specifically because they are the right choices but because they are something that will have very realistic consequences. Which in turn makes all the readers anticipate and look forward to what's to come next while also not getting rid of the anxiety that comes with it.
The only gripe I have is that it's currently on hiatus for Season 3, i have never felt sooooo angry at a hiatus before this😡😡😡.... yes they need rest but please don't be away for long... I would've read the novel if I could find it. Let's end it on a high note, PROPS TO EVERYONE WHO WORK ON THIS FKING MASTERPIECE and take a good rest!!!! But please come back quick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FK.
