This is my first review and probably wont be very good well paced or relevant Also english isnt my first language so there will probably be a mistake or two INCLUDES SPOILERS So what is Martial Peak about? Put simply its about power creeping and an likeable overpowered MC. Or in more words its about Yang Kai a weak boy by his starting world metrics who by chance or luck gets hold of multiple significant opportunities to become stronger be it by acquiring some OP artifact like the Ancient Black Book or knowledge through some hidden inheritance like some of his skill such as Alchemy or Space and Time Principles control. Most of the characters are incredibly shallow and one dimensional except some rare chars used as plot devices and even rarer relevant recurring chars such as his wives or some of his elders since the power creeping is so fast most characters from an story arc become rapidly irrelevant in the next one. The art isnt jaw dropping at any point but is equally not eye burning at any point. It somehow manages to stay consistent for most of the manhua which is amazing considering we get 24 new chapters every. single. day. while most japanese manga can barely release one a week this is a feat of its own. As for what kept me reading it its mostly about frequency and consistency. Even if its never a 10/10 after a while reading a 6/10 story you get invested enough that it doesnt really matter. You just want to keep reading and see where the story brings the characters youve grown to like even if its kinda prediictable and mostly detached from previous arcs. Overall its a good enough manhua specially if youre just getting into the space its by no means an original story but its better than most of the similar ones. Should you read it? Well do you already like cultivation manhua? Do you want to like cultivation manhua? If so yeah give it a go there isnt much to dislike here. Else still give it a chance like 80 chapters should be enough to give you a basis on what the story is all about if you like that youll probably end up liking the rest since its more or less the same. Plot: 6/10 Art: 7/10 Characters: 7/10 Readability: 9/10 Overall: 7.5/10 Other recommendations If you have already read Martial Peak and is looking for something like it but not the dogshit carbon copies that shamelessly rip off every other cultivation manhua out there here is a list of some of what i like and might write reviews later. Apotheosis 7.5/10 Tales of Demons and Gods 8/10 Douluo Dalu 7/10
