In a time when most stories are about revenge, time travel, and murim copy-paste plots, this manhwa feels different. It goes beyond expectations and brings something new to the table. Instead of using regression, system mechanics, or a revenge-based story, it follows a protagonist who simply wants to build the best sect in a corrupt jianghu. The story is well-written and stands out from many repetitive plots in the genre. The MC is not your stereotypical overpowered loner or emotionless killer. he has depth and a clear vision, making him incredibly engaging to follow. The art is also great, adding to the overall experience. With ... its strong storytelling and fresh approach, this manhwa has the potential to become one of the best. If you want something unique, this is definitely worth reading.

This is a fucking gem, a raw masterpiece straight from the universe. no shitty reincarnation, no lazy-ass time travel, no overused system bullshit, just pure, unfiltered genius-level storytelling. The MC isn’t some overpowered dumbass handed everything on a silver platter. he starts from nothing. The plot is good, no pointless filler, no dragged-out nonsense, just a tight, well-written story with actual direction. The writing is top-tier, no mindless power-ups or cringy edgy monologues, you can tell the author actually knows what the fuck they’re doing. The characters are solid, no annoying sidekicks, no forced ass comedy, no one exists just to suck the MC off, ... every single one has depth. This shit is raw, brutal, and absolutely worth every damn second. And the art is fucking incredible

Plot:
The story follows the typical plot of a very powerful character who gets betrayed and then regresses to their past for revenge. However, this time, the main character is a little unhinged. He openly admits to regressing, doesn’t hide in the shadows, and instead uses his battle experience to completely overwhelm his enemies. Since he was once a wimp, it's quite fun to see him openly take revenge on his bullies without any long, drawn-out training arcs.
Setting and World-Building:
Set in a medieval fantasy world with magic, fantasy races, and monsters, the plot kicks off right away, and the pacing is fairly quick. There isn’t much ... world-building yet, but I believe the author will explore it later on. The main focus so far is on revenge against those who destroyed his family, and the main character is correcting his past mistakes, especially since he was a spoiled brat in his youth. No boring filler plots yet, which is great, and the main plot is engaging with a smooth narrative. There’s even a bit of humor here and there, though I personally feel it’s not always necessary.
Action and Fight Scenes:
The action is one of the strongest aspects of the series. The choreography is top-notch, with each battle clearly showing the flow of combat. You won’t get confused while reading the fights, and they are fun to watch. The art style may not be everyone’s cup of tea especially if you care about anatomy. but the artist excels at drawing dynamic fighting poses.
Character Art:
While the character art isn’t perfect, especially when it comes to faces and anatomy, the dynamic fighting poses make up for it. The artist’s rough style gives each frame a cool vibe, which is great during action sequences. However, I would appreciate it if the artist paid a little more attention to some finer details like facial expressions and clearer designs.
Main Character (MC):
The MC is likable for now. He’s straightforward, intelligent, and has a good capacity to think and plan. He can be ruthless when necessary but also shows rationality. His charisma and leadership potential are promising, and it’s nice to see a character who isn’t a mindless brute. i hope that the author doesn’t turn him into a character saved by plot armor or one-dimensional personality in future.
Overall:
This may be a generic regression manhwa, but it’s done well so far. The pacing is quick, and the main plot is engaging. With solid action, a likable MC, and the potential for more world-building, this series could turn out to be something really good in the future.

Centuria: A New Masterpiece You Can’t Miss

Centuria is a gripping, dark story filled with intense moments, a unique setting, and incredible creatures. What makes it stand out even more is its balance between dark themes and wholesome moments, especially its focus on family. This manga knows how to make you care deeply about its characters, which raises the stakes to a whole new level.

Story:
The story follows Julian, a young boy who stows away on a slave ship. He’s found by the slavers but cared for by the slaves onboard. Without spoiling too much, tragedy strikes, and a sea goddess offers Julian power. From there, his ... journey is about trying to live a quiet life with the people who care about him.

The plot is powerful and hooks you right from the start. While it’s still finding its stride, the characters are already unforgettable. They avoid boring stereotypes, making each one feel real and meaningful. Even the “evil king” is unique—he’s a noble humanitarian who has helped improve people’s rights.

Art:
The art is breathtaking. Action scenes are dynamic, and the aftermaths are detailed, often gory but brilliantly composed. The monster designs are intimidating, creative, and unforgettable. Every character design feels alive.

The only small flaw is with proportions—sometimes the hands look a little too big. But honestly, this is such a tiny issue that it doesn’t affect how stunning the art is overall.

Why You Should Read It:
Centuria is a perfect mix of emotional depth, thrilling action, and beautiful visuals. It keeps you engaged, makes you care about every character, and leaves you wanting more. Despite its dark moments, the emphasis on family and relationships gives it a heartwarming touch that’s rare in this genre.

If you’re looking for a manga with a rich story, amazing art, and characters that stay with you, Centuria is the one. Don’t waste time reading this review—go experience it for yourself!

Interesting premise but inconsistent execution, and difficult-to-like characters.

Engaging Early Chapters: The first 10-15 chapters capture interest with a strong start, but the story quickly loses appeal.
Split Personality Gimmick: The split personality aspect becomes tedious as it’s not well-explained. The sudden switches between the MC's normal and psycho behavior feel random and confusing.
Disappointing Character Development: The MC, initially portrayed as weak, abruptly becomes a hero, clumsily justified by split personality and misunderstandings. The shift is messy and lacks logical consistency.
Depressing Atmosphere: The story's tone becomes increasingly bleak and heavy, sapping the enjoyment out of what could have been an engaging fantasy.
Inconsistent Story Elements: The story incorporates ... intriguing themes like politics, war, rivalry, and revenge, but they are not always handled consistently. The plot has potential but fails to deliver on its promise.
Unlikable Characters: The characters, especially the main duo (MC and his brother), are written with development, but they come across as unpleasant, making it hard to root for any of them.
Misunderstandings Overused: Misunderstandings drive both comedy and plot, but they quickly become tiresome and detract from the story's overall quality.
Unfulfilled Potential: While the story had the ingredients for something great, the inconsistency in execution and lack of likable characters made it hard to continue reading.

Alright, so here’s the deal—this manga is actually solid. Sure, you could roast it for having a cliché plot, but let's be honest, this manga is actually good Why? Because the MC is clever as hell. Even though he’s got some OP powers, they don’t feel too OP. He’s gotta use his brain to outsmart people and put in the effort to win, not just wish for it

World-building: Got empires, politics, different cultures, and all that jazz? check
Ability system: It’s simple, and straightforward, with a few secrets, but it works. Complex? Nah, but make sense? check
Art: The art is a feast for the eyes. Seriously, ... one of the manga’s strongest points. Beautiful to look at? check

This manga’s a solid pick if you’re into a story where the MC has to outsmart his way to victory, backed by great art and a well-built world.

Intriguing MC: Gyeol is an exceptionally handsome, flirty character who definitely stands out. His complicated interactions and emotional struggles make him captivating, even though he hangs out with the wrong crowd.
Emotional Depth: The story's exploration of serious themes, like Ji-o's brother's attempted suicide and Ji-o's heroic but painful rescue, adds real emotional weight. It's tough seeing such genuine struggles and could use a bit more focus on Ji-o’s brother, which would add some realism and depth.
Unpredictable Plot: This Webtoon is a real page-turner! It keeps you on the edge of your seat with its ticking time bomb of a plot. The twists and turns are ... impossible to predict, and the story just grips you with every chapter.
Tension and Chemistry: The storytelling is top-notch, creating an ominous yet engaging atmosphere. The chemistry between characters is incredibly well-written, adding layers of tension and intimacy that make the romance feel "spicy" and addictive.
Art Style: The art is stunning and adds so much to the story. Gyeol's poses and expressions are especially well-drawn, highlighting his charisma and the intense mood of the series. The art is definitely a major highlight!
Emotional Rollercoaster: This Webtoon can be emotionally draining, with its intense and sometimes toxic themes. It has a way of making you feel a whirlwind of emotions, from anxiety to heartbreak, making every chapter a nerve-wracking experience.
Final Thoughts: Even if modern straight romance isn't usually your thing, this Webtoon is a hidden gem. It’s addictive, well-crafted, and worth every moment. The blend of dark undertones with compelling characters and beautiful art makes it an outstanding read.
Check it out on Webtoon—you’ll be hooked.

Overall: If you're looking for a romance that’s not just fluff but has a bit of bite to it, Trash Belongs in the Trash Can! is your jam. Complex relationships, blurred lines between love and manipulation—it’s all there. 10/10, would recommend!

Starting Vibes: 🤔 Honestly, the beginning was a bit rough. Went in expecting the usual power fantasy clichés, but glad to be proven wrong. The first chapters felt a bit typical, but stick with it!

Premise: 📜 Classic setup: a guy from the slums aiming to break free from his dire situation and become great. But the execution is what makes this different from the rest.

Pacing: ⏱️ Fairly decent, especially considering everything happens in under six months. Even though the MC powers up quickly, it’s written in a way that feels believable for the most part.

Clichés: 🙄 Yup, they’re here, but they’re handled in a way ... that actually benefits the story. Not a deal-breaker.

Characters: 👥 This is where the manhwa shines. Each character has a role, either now or coming up. They’re not just fillers; they add real value to the story.

Fights and Art: ⚔️ The action scenes are flashy, but that’s kinda par for the course in power fantasies. The art is good, and fits the genre, though it’s not the main draw for me.

Story and Emotion: ❤️ The arcs are packed with emotion and depth. Even with some minor issues, the overall story is amazing. It’s a breath of fresh air in a sea of gimmick manhwas.

MC and Plot: 🌟 The main character is smart and hardworking, not a crybaby. He starts off ordinary but grows into something special with the help of a great teacher. Unlike many manhwas, he knows when to lean on others, which is refreshing.

Recommendation: 👍 worth a read. Despite some rough starts, it’s one of the best manhwas with a great storyline. Long chapters mean a lot of content and good art. so if you don't wanna miss a good manhwa then give it a go.
