Just found another problem...pages 17 and 18 were reversed. So when you read it again it will make sense now.
sorry about that.

This was real dope breh I like the whole story set up for things to come. I liked the guy with the dreads he has a cool design. The main character looks like he's about to get himself in some shyt. Definitely will check for future chapters and try to spread the word. I wish you luck breh.:salute:

Dope :blessed: I like how I can't really tell what's going on :lolbron: but at the same time I have guess-timates of what type of backround this story has. Not in a cookie cutter type of way though but recognizing that this hasn't really been done before.

my breh with the dreads though :banderas: no bs I had a discussion about how dreads are antenna before, if you've ever had them there's always that one that sticks up in the air before they get heavy and long
I fx with this lol I'll spread it how ever I can on social media.

Already got tons of back story to cover just off the intro too. I want to know what's next which is always good. You doing the whole production dolo though? :ohhh: Definantly not easy. Respect the craft. One thing that is like a slight problem though is that I can't go from page 13 to 14 for some reason without manually typing it in the address bar. Not sure how big an issue that is but :manny: might as well tell you. I'm mobile though so maybe it's that. It brings me to the home page if I click the arrows or if I click choose page. Only at the 13-14 interval though. No pop ups though is definantly a plus. Can't stand that bs on other manga sites.

So I wasn't the only one who was confused. Unlike the Breh here, the feeling of confusion was not pleasant.

The drawing and colors look good.

I'm wondering: why Manga style? Why not traditional comic book style? Maybe I'm just an ugly American but I never picked up a Manga before. It creates a barrier for me.

I understand but I'm taking the chance in doing something different with my manga. All other mangas that I've read are very similar and seem to follow some weird guideline to appease to the fanbase, especially in Japan. I'm going against the grain in more ways than one. For starters my characters are extremely diverse which is rare in manga. I also didn't want to lay out the entire story in the first chapter which a lot of other mangas do. I know it seems kinda vague right now but trust it will be laid out in future chapters.

I grew up on comics but recently discovered manga in 2009 with Naruto. I like the storytelling, the way the story and characters are presented seem entirely different from western comics. By the way, I'm from Compton so I'm American too. I admit it takes awhile to adjust to manga since everything with traditional Japanese manga is backwards (reading, names, etc.) but I just love manga breh. Not to mention it's much easier for me as an indy artist to create on my own. I can't color for shyt. Thanks for the constructive criticism breh.

Thanks for the review and you make some good points. Yea its just me breh, writing, drawing everything. Thats why it took so damn long lol.

Anyway I fixed the pages so hopefully everything works fine now. That feedback was crucial.



Np at all, gonna turn this into the next big "you know you read this" thread chapter by chapter trust.

True though lol hopefully you get a little assistance or something down the line if you looking for it.

Thanks, appreciate the feedback. Glad you like fam. Yea Roujin is a real dude wit a Brit accent lol...Rain doesn't understand some of the stuff he says when he talks slang :mjlol:

He got a real crazy backstory and his sword does too that I'll get to much later.

Not exactly confused but just not pin pointed into a cut and dry theme.
Like I had to re read it a little bit because at first I almost thought the guy with the dreads was the one with the long hair but he just powered up or something, and I thought it was like a flash back in time or something where the story was going to really begin after rain got rekt.
I needed to check for details. Never know, I still could always be wrong about both of those things in some fashion.

It's sort of similar to me in that aesthetic to naruto because it's easy to miss something and be suprised in the next chapter, then be like, wait this bs didn't happen, flip back some pages and be like :ohhh: tf I missed that? . Big reason why I liked naruto. At the same time it's nothing similar to naruto story wise. Not that your opinion isn't valid though since it's good to hear from all different reading pov's, just expanding a little on what I ment.

quick little manga reading tip: if the page is black with black borders and dividers, that usually means its flashback time. If the page is regular/white it's usually the present.

It doesn't always mean that though. I know I forgot to put black borders on some pages.
