Kenshi's Read of Kingdom

[Papasmurf]

Just finished rereading volume 1, decent twist with the body double of the King and the other plot development so far. I'll post my thoughts volume by volume until I finally catch up on the 800 chapters this manga has

 

[Papasmurf]

Finished volume 2. The King basically surrendered himself to the mountain savages, I know he won't die but will keep reading to see what happens next.

 

[Future Warrior]

Everybody reading this now huh

 

[Symbiote]

Once I’m caught up with Sakamoto I’ll prob give this a try

 

[Papasmurf]

Everybody reading this now huh

Yeah ahill convinced me to read it.

 

[Papasmurf]

Just read volume 3. Zheng and co. have infiltrated the castle with the mountain savages in tow. Looking forward to what happens next even though history tells us the outcome.

 

[Future Warrior]

A lot of people consider this the weakest arc so it’s nice to see people enjoy it.

 

[Papasmurf]

Finished volume 4. Getting a bit shonen-y with the final soul-filled strike at the end and unrealistically high stamina and that giant monster looking dude, but the plot is moving along and it looks like the dethroning of Zheng's bitchfaggot brother is going to be resolved soon.

 

[Papasmurf]

Finished volume 5, Xin is about to head to his first real battle after Zheng took back the throne. Hopefully it's as @Future Warrior said and this arc will be better than the last, because it got shonen-y with Xin's whole ability to defeat warriors stronger than himself with resolve and all that. I will say I didn't really expect that "he was really a woman/girl" twist to be repeated, so that's a small surprise.

 

[Future Warrior]

Xin's whole ability to defeat warriors stronger than himself with resolve and all that.

Oh boy you are not gonna like the protagonist lmao.

 

[Papasmurf]

Oh boy you are not gonna like the protagonist lmao.

I already prefer the King anyway lol.

 

[Future Warrior]

I already prefer the King anyway lol.

Yeah even if you don't it shouldn't be a problem. There are plenty of characters to like in this series. Shin isn't even in my top 5.

 

[SSJ2]

The next arcs after the one you're reading are among the top tier.

 

[Papasmurf]

Finished volume 6. Definitely the most action-packed volume so far. The general of Xin's division sacrificed his life to take the opposing general's life and they climbed the hill. Too bad it's obvious they're fucked after with how many are actually left of their army though.

 

[Papasmurf]

Volume 7 finished. Not much to say other than that the general of the numerically far superior army deciding to rush headfirst against someone considerably stronger than himself seemed stupid, although I understand the reasoning somewhat. We're about to get into the story of the King's former lover or whoever the new backstory's about.

 

[SSJ2]

Curious to see what you think of Sei's backstory.

Also nearly at one of the top arcs.

 

[Papasmurf]

Finished Zheng (Sei)'s backstory. Pretty good backstory, even if the whole "a bunch of people died and I have to carry my will and become great" trope is cliched. Hope the next arc is top tier as Curtis says.

 

[Papasmurf]

Finished volume 10. Definitely picking up with the introduction of palace politics and Wang Yi's "training method" being introduced. I plan to read another two volumes today, I hope to get current within the summer.

 

[Future Warrior]

Those Chinese names throwing me off lol.
