we’re up to 4.
whatever the joker's gone through i've been through worse
what a nerd😯😯
Weak Hero is really good but there’s like no responsible adults in that webtoon lmao
Excuse the inconsistent art style, these were drawn at different points in time
ok because I have wolf keum brainrot and chapter263 reconfirmed that he was practically unknown, prior to his entry to the union- i just wanna know what his backstory is (asking for the hundredth time).
like, it's so off that someone like wolf, who gets into fistfights regularly, managed to remain inconspicuous throughout middle school, enough that most people didn't even know what he looked like prior to his union debut. he has pastel purple hair.
the only plausible explanation i can think of is that he wasn't getting into fistfights regularly in middle school, which is also weird because every flashback we have of him from then is of him fighting?
Weak Hero is such a fun Webtoon! A bit of an unexpected hit in the school action/martial arts genre because…
Every single high school/middle school character is so embarrassing and at least one other character knows it. Nobody has escaped a callout about their grimdark/chuuni/tough guy behaviour except for Big Ben. Big Ben only escapes this by being made fun of for being a dumbass instead, and everyone secretly respects him the most for being generally a good guy.
All the antagonists have friends and enemies of their own! Their friendships are genuine and, in some cases, have developed from much more parasitic relationships as the characters grow.
The central conflict of the story, which is about a bunch of kids fighting each other in various centralized crime rings, is actually about poverty as a direct result of systemic corruption??? Like, half of these children have less than no interest in getting into fist fights, and have ACTIVELY TRIED TO AVOID FIGHTING ONE ANOTHER, but have been steered into it by the interests of ??? corrupt property developers ??? and politicians manipulating a deeply corrupt school system ??? There is actually a pretty well actualized subplot here that is thoughtful about the root of the problem and the failure of many attempts to resolve it???????????????????????
The kick off of the WHOLE STORY is a kid attempting (and succeeding) to fight against corruption with legal resource provision for the poor at no profit THROUGH THE SCHOOL SYSTEM and GRANTING AGENCIES, who is then harmed by other children in response to a loss of privilege that occurs DIRECTLY because of the elevation of others out of suffering.
The key antagonist is locked in a little math competition with the main character. This math competition is clearly friendly??? Both of them would prefer academic pursuits if they weren’t driven into their current positions in essentially a criminal underworld, and both make regular attempts to leave said underworld (Donald just wants to be business-facing!!!!).
References homophobia as an aspect of school bullying without the narrative itself being homophobic. Many characters feelings towards those closest to them are open-ended and, upon having other characters reference it (re: “boyfriends” and homophobic jokes), there is no real denial of feelings.
Not every character can fight, and in fact one of the key current conflicts, in a beautiful parallel to the start of the story, is kicked off by a character who cannot fight using his head to try and do something good for his community. Very cyclical, very nice.
I've been in a meme mood lately for some reason
Since it's autism acceptance month i better not see any Near hate.

I had very mixed feelings about the advent of pre-order rewards, because I felt like it was just another thing that authors have to do that takes away from actual writing time. But actually now I think all authors should make pre-order rewards that are smutty non-canonical fanfic of their own work thank you very much
