I read this aback in 2017l and loved iso much I tried making an amv. I was so sad it ended , but happy reading what happen in the final chapter. If you read it then you would feel the same way. This was one of my first webtoons I read on the Webtoon app, and I wish there was more since I miss this beautiful story. This webtoon, by Honey B, is amazing in my point of view making me wanna cry and laugh. The art and characters are good as well. I say you should read it yourself since Iām not reallythat great at writing reviews. I bet you well love it and will be wishing for more. A 9 out of 10 so get some tissues and start binge reading this fantasy now. Maybe a 10 out of 10?
In this world, every child is born under a god. Some gods are weaker than others. Some gods are stronger than others. Children born under weaker gods become defunct in society, and cannot attend high school. Instead, they must get jobs after middle school. High school in this world is a place that trains students to use their stronger gods. They have one thing in common: They can grant wishes if the correct price is paid. Leerang turns back time a day, and pays dearly for it. To reverse his wish, he must attend high school and try to use the powers of his cat god once again. (Source: MU)
Note: it's been more than a year since I last published this review. I have, more or less, matured and improved my writing skill since the time of review. Any new informations that I either forgot to put in, or only thought of adding some time after the original review, will be marked with 'X'. I got recommended this manhwa a while ago by one of my friends as an attempt to get back into reading webtoons. And...huh? The world-building and storytelling in this manhwa is very confusing and messy. I get the premise that it's trying to establish, but the execution is very poor.Not to mention that it has one of the most unbearable asshole female characters I've seen in the form of Harin. The way she was portrayed in the first arc was so nonsensical I almost stopped reading. All of a sudden, one boo-hoo moment later then we're supposed to be sympathetic for her? FOH. X: I still retain my stance on most of the things I said above. The story was very messy for the most parts, and so was the world-building. The backstories of some characters were quite illogical. The dynamic between the main and supporting characters also didn't feel natural. More importantly, tlhe point I made about Harin also still stands. Character-wise (as I viewed her as an early antagonist), she was massively overpowering the other characters (sometimes, for no reason), and that's not something you wanna do to your antagonist, unless it serves a purpose to your story, which here, it does not, since she evolved into a (supposedly) more sympathetic character. And they still fucked up on making her more sympathetic, because we as the readers weren't given any clear reasons to like Harin. So yeah, Harin was a massive lowlight in this manhwa. But the magic system also didn't help whatsoever, because if I recall, there was a technique that allowed a person to borrow another person's animal power -- a technique that can basically solve most of the problems contained in the manhwa. Plotholes are the last thing that Flow needs as the manhwa didn't have much of a strong structure as the story went on, so it didn't come as a surprise that when I notice a problem in the magic system, it hindered my reading experience quite a bit. Despite all that, I think the manhwa redeemed itself at the VERY end by giving us a real tearjerker, when all puzzles of chaos in the manhwa are able to piece themselves together to give us a really touching ending. X: This is a pattern I'm beginning to see more often in most manhwas. The premise is promising; the ending is coherent; but the middle story is a big bundle of mess. The way the ending of Flow turned out was honestly a miracle in itself, because before the ending, a huge fight broke out because big bro wants his friend (or sis? i forgot their relationship in this manhwa) brought back to life in another timeline. Even though it has decent actions, the fight was stupid and a waste of time, merely for the fact that if big bro actually understands how alternate universe actually works, big bro probably wouldn't even call for the fight in the first place. But anyway, the ending happened, and it was quite touching. The ending was handled well because it's obvious that the author planned it from the beginning. Shame that the same can't be said for the middle parts. That being said: is it really worth reading the other 99 chapters? Till now, I'm still torn about it. X: As of now, I'm leaning towards 'no'. But hey, I'd still read this than most western webtoons.
I'm surprised this manhwa has such a small presence on MAL, when this had a sizable fan base on webtoons. I read this a few years ago and it was one of my first introductions to webtoons and manhwa, prior to that I had only read The Breaker, Tower of God and Bastard. The story had cliche elements, staying mostly original but it was the art that drew me in. It wasn't as detailed as seinen manga but seeing colour was refreshing and made me have a distaste for non-detailed manga, especially how generic shounen mangas are drawn. The characters I cant recall that well,but the MC was good, he was selfish at the beginning but changed throughout. There was also someone other character development + cliche side characters. Like the tsundere semi love interest. The main villain's motive was meh but the final battle between them was very epic. The manhwa overall is semi-cliche with elements from Wuxia and a bunch of others, but I still enjoyed a lot and I recommend it. 7/10
SPOILERS: First of all id like to say its probably closer to a 3 maybee a 4 if ur generous but I gave it a 2 because I considered the whole story not just the ending. The first 60 chapters are absolutely horrendous, incredibly boring and ridiculous I considered dropping. None of the world building + power scaling makes sense / is consistent or even relevant for the rest of the story after the school arc. Things that are irrelevant are explained in detail like the way abilities work but the important things are just glossed over or explained really late in the last few chapters.Side characters after school arc manage to somehow become even worse and more annoying and the rest are very bland or uncreative like the classic tsundere female character. The main character starts out as an underdog then becomes one of the strongest instantly ultimately destroying the purpose of school arc. The villain who has been hyped for ages is an utter disappointment, his entire story is done in about 2 chapters and is only shown with his revealed identity in about 4 chapters before the end. The author makes the villain have his way destroying everything our protagonist has as well as everything the author created (world/characters) with typical villain motives I destroy world and create utopia ideology. The author proceeds to try to clunkily piece together his story with a reset button and happy ending with some miracle of the last phoenix god. The ending isnt bad but it just feels like a waste of time reading which is usually the case with time travelling to the past to fix the world esque story. It wud have been fine if everything was explained better. tldr : shallow characters, unexplained/non-existent world building/power scaling, feels like a waste of time since "nothing happened" with cheesy message end. For a manga called flow it flowed horribly
Underrated manhwa, i'd say this is the Steins Gate- like but fantasy, the MC has the power to change his past but this is the type of "changing your past will also change the fate of his closest one and in this series, worse" ... the MC trying so hard to come back to the original timeline where all of his loved ones exist but then realize there has to be a huge price to pay. In some aspects i think it's doing better than overall mediocre shounen manhwa (ToG,GoH...) the author has stakes in this story and not just making MC OP. Story was onpoint, didn't waste a lot of time... the world building was explained well, we knew the MC's problem and goal from the beginning, it also has mystery in it. Art was divisive, some people love it, some people not and both points have truth in it, the color palette the author used was beautiful but in fights scene you can hardly see what's going on, the art also looks rigid sometimes. Characters were pretty good, at first some might find it typical like zero to hero ML, bitchy FL, edgy friends but they experienced hardship and have amazing development, if you see the progress of character based by comment in official translate, there is some interesting change expecially towards FL and i'd say you'll totally enjoy their ride. This series is enjoyable, you should try to read it once 8/10.
