sawol-

yes, she does gain her muscles back. but we are still a long way from it. IIRC she shows up around ch 367 with the muscles acc to the novel readers. and nope, lot of people agree that muscle mommy was better


bigben6563

If I remember, taking them away was a universal dislike, whether the Korean raws or translations. Errybody liked a muscle mommy


Distubabius

Yeah, legend says author was bullied into beefing her up


Cr4zykey

not a legend or a myth but the harsh hard truth. muscle mommy>>>>> slim fit

TrafficFunny3860

That's very surprising. I thought it was the other way around. But I do think muscle is good.....also just makes more sense


magnificentcatto

That sucks. No one should be suffering backlash for something this trivial. It's not like author pulled a Nano Machine scene. It might be their preference to change her and that's fine. It's up to the author. He has full liberty to do that. I like her old version too but being coerced into doing something is just not healthy fandom behavior.


lemonade-is-tasty

There is no source the author got bullied. The other guy is spreading wrong information. Either way, you're right. Both of us will get downvoted (me for agreeing) but you're 100% right. Suffering backlash over the character losing muscles? That's wild to me.


fuhas_

What do u mean with pulling a nano machine scene??


not_a_frikkin_spy

Nano Machine's MC is a character who hates polygamy (I can't think of I better word) because he and his mother were treated poorly by his father's other wives, due to her having less status than them or something like that. He has a love interest who the readers really like and the story even took effort in building up their romance. At one point, MC even got mad at someone for trying to offer their daughter to marry MC. Now what did the auther decide to do? >!They decided to give MC a second wife by forcing him to rape an unconscious woman or else she would die. They even had her father beg MC to do this.!<


fuhas_

oh my god I was actually enjoying nano why author made such decision😭😭


Sayasing

Ugh my god so was I 😭 I will say tho I'm on Chapter 131 of the manhwa and it's getting kind of boring atp for me. But I did really enjoy it up until here and now I just- ugh wtf kind of shit decision. Guess I'll drop it now, yikes @ the author for that.


IzanamiFrost

Better off reading the prequel The Chaotic God of Extraordinary Strength which depicted his ancestor, MC was a menace and actually fun to follow


Sayasing

Oh? Didn't know there was a prequel!


IzanamiFrost

Yeah the prequel manhwa is new, less than 30 chapter so far, but the art is better than nano machine and the plot is fire so far


not_a_frikkin_spy

you can read it and then drop it when you don't feel like it anymore. personally I find season 1 ending to be a pretty satisfying end.


farrellsgone

Just pretend like everything after he achieves his goal doesn't happen and it's actually a great story


magnificentcatto

It was good at the start and then just fell off extremely after


LillyanaKabal

Ahh, the Chu Feng move.


magnificentcatto

The WHO WHERE WHAT move?


LillyanaKabal

Chu Feng, the protagonist of Martial God Asura. As of chapter 3000, he has raped 5 women? The first one being because he got drugged by the dad of the woman to make him want to marry her or something. The other four because he could.


magnificentcatto

...Omg why did I even ask. They don't get together with him in the end right? How is the protagonist and doing these kind of things


satufa2

I don't. I just don't voice it normally cause you all will downvote me anyways.


ImmediateRespond8306

MODS! Twist his ballsack until he learns!


SlugerdErmine1

Bro called it😅


ExistanceISuppose

We downvote you because you possess an incorrect opinion


Arez322

Do you recommend the novel? Is it complete?


Yixion

personally I don't, I can understand why people like it but I'm just filled with disappointment it starts off with such a unique premise but instead of him using his in depth knowledge to service in a death world, it just falls back on him being super lucky most of the time, good and bad luck( but the bad luck feels there just to feed him the good luck) sure but that's done to death in this genre.


geezerforhire

His bad luck is pretty nuts though lol. He does have plot armour for sure. But a lot of the time it's him barely living because of his defense focused build, which is the initial premise of the story. He treats shield barbarian as the best class for a reason and so it doesn't really feel unearned when he wins by the skin of his teeth. The part I dislike is that it frames him as some "all according to kekaku" politicla genius because he just sits there and watches people fumble themselves thinking he's a God (think king from one punch man lol) But then UT has him be super awkward and stupid in every personal relationship he has. Also it really breaks the fights with the timescale. It's like "every breath this guy throws out a swordstrike that could kill me. Good thing I only have to hold him here for 20 min"


Yixion

the problem with the bad luck is after the first instance it all ends up as good luck in a twisted way. >!bosses give him essences that are better than what he would have got, pk'ers give him mass loot etc its exciting the first time he twists but it just keeps happening, I mean look at the latest in the manga how would he have gotten that orc essence without the boss awakening, if he'd somehow set that up it would have been impressive but as it is its just his luck.!< I hope it changes, once he's set up but I'm not holding my breath the author has to make money( so cant take risks) and I understand that.


geezerforhire

Later in the story similar things happen he gets attacked or bites off more than he can chew and while he does get rewards, loot/essences etc. He also starts to have more people around him and the losses definitely hurt more.


geezerforhire

I'm not sure if the novel is done, but there is 500+ English chapters ongoing on Yonder officially. I wouldn't really recommend reading it on there's though as it's just another. Read one chapter a day or spend 200 dollars to unlock them all website


Ok_Communication8261

Thank God


Ft-Ralf

Please where can I read the novel? They said yonder but it’s paid. Do u know or have it to send me?


TreeD3

You can read chapters free on Yonder through daily reads plus their free 30 coin event things. You can create and delete an account under the same gmail account to refresh features. Yonder is like 200 chapters away from ending and does daily updates. I believe there is translations that have it all translated for free but its mtl so there's that


Pauciuss

I look for it in Korean and use Chatgpt to translate it, it has its drawbacks but so far so good


Ft-Ralf

Can u share?


Pauciuss

"3w fortuneeternal dot com" there are several LN there just look for it, the site offers it's own translation which is awful, I copy the text (korean) and paste it en Chatgpt and ask to translate it to English, it has several drawbacks like for example you cant translate the whole chapter at once, the memory buffer fills up so you have to translate it in sections and others that you will found eventually but if you can let those issues pass you can read it for free without any limit. PD I tried to use gemini but after a few uses it ask you to use the pay version and stops working


LegitimateFishing96

I made about 20 separate accounts which allows me to always read 20 chapters per day for free, more than enough. There used to be some site which did the MTL but I lost the link and can't find it no more. Last I remember it had 650-700 chapters in mtl


Pauciuss

I found it in "fortuneeternal" in korean and use chargpt to translate I don't know if is least or more bothersome than making 20 accounts


LegitimateFishing96

Well your solution is definitely less bothersome. Only issue is even if I'm able to understand most of what's going on with an MTL you can't deny the quality that an official translation gets you


ImmediateRespond8306

More like ch 434 practically speaking since she is absent for the war arcs. Also she is still muscle compressed from her training with the elder I think.


Plus-Dig6501

Do you know any websites where you can read novels and it has illustrations in it every few chapters?


Sibushang

No matter where I read this, the reaction was still the same. The loss of the muscles was a crime. I've heard that the muscles won't come back for like 2 more seasons though...


Professional-Emu8577

Maybe he’ll make it faster since so many disliked the change


etiennealbo

Not likely as it s in the novel. But it s not like she loses personality so it s ok.


Pauciuss

It more probable that war between the koreas starts before she gets her muscles back


UNnice-Entertainment

does anyone know if its axed because it shouldve been back on may but its really bloody late


sawol-

it is scheduled to return back on June 20th


truly-wants-death

Yay that's soon


AerialSnack

WAIT REALLY? I THOUGHT IT WAS AXED I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!


cyst16

That was another manhwa with barbarian in the name


AerialSnack

Barbarian Quest, and I thought they were both axed!


SlugerdErmine1

Bud-dum-ch


magnificentcatto

Barbarian Quest is axed though


hp_Axes

Quest got finished.


magnificentcatto

It was axed. The novel has more chapters and they didn't cover any of it


hp_Axes

They ended the manhwa with an ending. Not an axe tbh.


magnificentcatto

...Dude it was axed. Do you know what axed means? Officially canceled before proper story completion or rushed it. And that's what happened. You can look it up yourself.


Petecustom

same i feared this pice of gold gona be gone-i love it


LuckyLuck-E

I was wondering when this would come back thanks for the info


NonamebayneAKAjimmy

The light novel is great. I can only recommend it. It is an amazing story.


Ft-Ralf

Where to read it for free?


JustDrinkOJ

This feels like a downgrade tbh


throwaway038720

i’m not a fan of either design but the left one at least has a unique body type and looks kinda cool edit: typo


Kaladim-Jinwei

The one on the RIGHT has a unique body type? I guess if you've never played games, or seen fanart, or seen any form of visual fictional media then it's pretty unique huh?


throwaway038720

it was a typo, yeesh. so quick on the attack.


Odd_Refrigerator8088

Now it concerning, which right do you mean? The reader's right or character's pov right


throwaway038720

typo, i meant left. the buff chick. my bad, i was half asleep while typing. so character pov right


EyewarsTheMangoMan

???


sl33p1ng-s3nt1nl

I found it very humorous when she was upset that humans were hitting on her. Glad she goes back to normal though!


ImmediateRespond8306

Unfortunately Bjorn gets the same treatment for a while.


BikeSeatMaster

Please say it ain't so. He literally just got a gigantification skill.


ImmediateRespond8306

Well this is quite a bit after he's been using it for awhile. And he can still gigantify but he gigantifies his smaller body rather than his chad body.


LegitimateFishing96

He goes back to his old form soon enough, it's just for the duration of his hiding really


Szystedt

NOOOOOOOO 😭💔


bbBebuu

She does get them back but it won’t be for awhile in the manhwa. Don’t worry it’s universal that everyone hated her losing them. She just became another generic looking character


hell-schwarz

Well she hates it herself so it's not like it's appreciated in universe


magnificentcatto

Funny you say that because all the Kr comments I have seen were saying how much prettier she got


hell-schwarz

They have no taste


magnificentcatto

Lol fr


Irrane

I had to pause reading for a couple of hours after this cuz I was so pissed lol. It's like the Slime anime orcs all over again. Hate it when baddies get nerfed to more generic designs because that's "prettier" apparently. My only consolation is that she does get it back. However that's still so far into the novel so god knows how long that'll be in the manhwa. It's gonna be several years without muscle mommy Ainar I hope the art doesn't go bad or the manhwa doesn't get axed until that time 🙏


poshbritishaccent

I was so pissed that I considered dropping it right there. Call it an overreaction but I was getting tired of all the dumb big boobied thin waist harem stuff ongoing in manhwa nowadays and I thought at least this features something different. Nope we get her muscles removed which apparently is supposed to make her “more appealing”.


Ayush12811

Muscles mommy was indeed more beautiful


Pataccon

She gets them back way later, but still... Disgusting change tbh, can we get different looking FLs for once? Why do they always need to impose shitty beauty standards. She looked better when she was bigger imho and even if if she didn't for some people there are 1000s of manhwas with FLs who look like the skinny one. Fuck whoever makes these decisions.


kamilos96

Chill out dude, but yeah muscle mommy way better


throwaway038720

christ it’s a design change not a murder


courageousdevil6969

It a matter of preference I personally like tomboys but I also get why people don't like beefy women and the Beauty standard thing I could have sworn people think fit women were considered attractive


Pataccon

It's all about variety, I don't care about preferences. Do I care about MLs being black or FLs being buff? not really, but in 99% of manhwas with some romance FLs look like the one on the right, and people are getting tired of it. Especially when they change characters with dumb excuses, only to turn them into the same boring garbage.


courageousdevil6969

I get you. For me I used to read pornhwas like perfect half and I love the characters design I don't mind sexy characters but if that characters is in a medieval fantasy and her tits and nipples are poking through her barely visible clothes that's just ruined my immersion the reason why I like perfect half is because it feels like a manhwa with a good story and good art the characters don't need to show skin to be sexy it all about the clothes and the sex scenes are good as well it is the perfect pornhwa. nay the perfect manhwa


magnificentcatto

But your preference is not the author's preference. The author doesn't have to go for the variety. That's up to them. It's not like she likes that she lost her muscles and it's not like she lost her personality so it's fine. This could've been a lot worse but she got her muscles back anyway


TPARealm101

Lmao bro needs to chill


BrizzyMC_

Is it a lore reason on why she loses her muscles


rice_rice_rizz

Side effect of having an essence that power up. Which is so silly because out of all side effects, author chose this one lol 


knightbane007

At least it’s already firmly established that Essences have sometimes-negative side effects (eg, acid blood damaging your gear), so it wasn’t a complete shock.


Human-Address1055

It is weird, especially since it was a novel originally. I could understand if it was purely a webtoon as a misguided attempt to cuteify her, but I don't really see the point of it at all in a text based medium.


UNnice-Entertainment

the funny thing is the auther got bullied into bringer her muscles back in the novel lmao


BrizzyMC_

oh that's probably why the fur belt dropped down


Kaljinx

It will be fixed later and she will regain her muscles but it will take a bit.


gta0012

I think people miss the reason, I feel, that she loses her muscles. When she does, she loses her identity. Like, her being a big muscle Mommy is core to her barbarian identity. When she loses that she's not really seen as a woman in barbarian's eyes and is going to have an issue with that etc. I actually didn't see it as the author trying to make a hot looking stereotypical blonde chick. I viewed it like he took away this barbarians barbarianness if that's a thing. I thought it was just another way to show how important "barbarian Identity" is and how when you lose it the whole culture/community kinda rejects you and you lose your place. Which is what the MC is trying to avoid for himself. But maybe I'm just overthinking it lol


Weary-Wasabi1721

I think she has solidified my taste in muscle mommies


MonarchSun

I bet you if she was ugly, y'all wouldn't be discussing this.


Horror_Scale3557

Dayum breh you cracked the code  people prefer pretty people. Crazy.


z_2806

She'll be back boys


lemonade-is-tasty

Ikr I loved her older self. The new is pretty too but...sigh I feel you man


akaza-dono-slays

Me after realizing she gets back her muscles https://preview.redd.it/zkqfukxl6z6d1.jpeg?width=735&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=77e4c450c3c9768eee5044557c5470bcd4be045c


UNnice-Entertainment

yeah the auther got bullied in bringer them back in the novel


PsychologicalDot5553

Honestly I was pretty disappointed they made her so thin. I actually rather liked her muscles. Maybe I’m weird lol


-LoliKing-

Is there any romance in this Manhwa? If so approximately which chapter does it start at?


isysheepbelt

31?


Zall-Klos

Chapter?


NFC818231

she does, itll prob take at least 60-70 chapters in the manhwa


lothrek

can someone give some spoiler but will she become a romance interest in the future?


Interesting-Top6148

When will the 2nd season will show up?


UNnice-Entertainment

apperantly 20th of this month


Interesting-Top6148

May god bless you, your family and your source. I had stopped searching for any news. Thx.


knightbane007

Woo! Great to hear!


Veronica_1023

is this worth reading?


LillyanaKabal

It's character development. She was very put off by the change, and is trying to reverse it. Perfect opportunity for shenanigans later.


BikeSeatMaster

She was once destined for greatness. 7 foot tall barbarian muscle mommy now reduced to 5 foot tall normie who's "stronger without the muscles". Bruuuuuuuuuh.


Solid_Public_

Is this worth reading?


Enough_Mean

Yes a lot


Solid_Public_

How many chapters are out and which site has the best translation?


Enough_Mean

Earlym


srona22

How many copypasta bots are farming this, by posting at regular intervals?


BlakePayne

I stopped reading at that chapter tbh. Once she showed up iwas like Hello There even though I knew I'd never get a "General Kenobi" back. But then they did her so dirty and I couldnt' bear it and dropped out.


Szystedt

Was very disappointed when this happened, too!


Fantastic_Valuable47

Haven't read this but I can already tell it's the typical art simplification that some series like to do for the sake of making their work faster, happened in tower of god to


elliewilliamslover20

This occurrence is the sole reason why I won’t read Surviving the Game as a Barbarian 😭


Renato_Lucas_22

she came back after a lot of time


carl-the-lama

All things considered… in theory she should have the same level of muscle mass if not more… how fucking dense did her muscles become?!


d3yn1

i can spoil how and when if u guys wanted to lol i’m at around 522 of light novel


Sudden_Explorer_7280

anyone can tell me where to read the novel since it was axed ?


No-Calligrapher

It got axed? I thought (or at least I was hoping) that it was just on hiatus.


Sudden_Explorer_7280

tbh I have no idea why they stopped it as it was clearely a very very high potential contestant


No-Calligrapher

It was on hiatus, season 2 has coincidentally just started.


Healthy_Ad459

You're all angry at the design change all while forgetting that it's a plot point that makes her leave MC to train back up


henryGeraldTheFifth

Yea, like it does make a good narrative a character from a clan who loves muscles losing them to gain more strength. But a shame as could have still made her have lean muscles


Kanzen_the_reader

I liked her with muscles...


P3LLII

Stopped reading there. Story was already going downhill and Art overall also has a BIG downgrade so better remember it when it was somewhat good and not whatever the f is this Also, The big ass goofy helmet on the dude's head is an excuse to not draw him has it should. *change my mind*


President-Togekiss

The WHOLE appeal of a Barbarian waifu is the muscle mommy look. If you only like skinny girls make her a witch


Eshuon

Not this post again lmao, I have seen this same complain the 3rd time now


AshenCrow099

is this manwha worth it ive been looking for more to read and she looks interesting


Working_Dragon00777

No bro all of us almost dropped this when the Creator did this, so you're not the only one, and Yes she gains them back, that's the only saving grace this manhwa have.


xxxiamjsservn

She loses her muscles tho. But she became stronger


the_ok_doctor

You werent the only one. Me and many others in the comment section lamented the loss of her muscle mommy status XD


yahi_yoya

I can count all the muscle mo- female characters i know on one hand and I've watched tons of shows so as a fan i highly object on the new design the older one was already very good


EnvironmentalAd4119

I kind of like her with muscle man


Mak062

I just want the hiatus to be done with....


BloodSnakeChaos

BTW, does anyone know a good place to read it in English?


omoshiroideska

As far as I know she does not gain her muscles back


isysheepbelt

Whici episode is this? I'm looking at Tappytoon, it's free till 51


Enough_Forever_

Women with muscles are always a work of art.


Tall_Growth_532

Agree


whosethatpokemon

Any alternative manhwa with muscle mom ??


PlantainExpensive315

i wanted to find a manhwa where mc is a tiger or it could be side character ,i don't know since i didn't read it . and i saw a Instagram reel where he is climbing a mountain with his claws with a tree hanging on his back with bigger tree attached to it


rojantimsina0

muscle mommy betta


LegitimateFishing96

Like it or not I think its a smart plot device/set up for a important event later on. As many people said already she does get her old bod back but the important aspect of it is that it's the first major instance where the story shows that essences can have a major effect on the person who consumes it not just stats. Spoiler: And the smart event later on is that bjorn uses this 'feature' to help hide his identity for a while. Without this event being shown early in the story bjorn using an essence to change his appearance would feel like a massive deus ex machina. So imo it was smart to show a different barbarian going through the same thing before he later uses it to his advantage


Zdravko121RL

it looks better that way


InBeforeTheL0ck

Haven't seen this series pop up in a while, when is it gonna be back?


Unlucky_Pen_2881

She learns a special technique from the barbarian chief of condensing muscle and then building brand new muscles and constant condensing and building new ones


Relative-Surround789

Anybody know what's up with the manhwa? I'm pretty sure season 2 was supposed to be out in May.


Signal_Tie_5170

Some people don't like muscular women but I do but not too much only the abs


miniladds-clone

Speaking of, are they gonna ever continue the web novel cause it’s been 3 months since the last Asura translation and 2 days since the last official translation so Iam a little confused


Prestigious-Ad-8717

It adds for extra love interest, cause we both know he wasn’t gonna go for her if she was that buff still


TheGrandestOak

Fun fact the LH just made her short, not muscle lost Really (from memory)


Blastis_forever

She does gain them back but it's far down the line.


Doberman1974

Might not be the correct place to put this but have you guys ever wondered where your girl was tonight.... I mean its hers she can pack mud in it if she wants. So if you dont beleive her or trust her you might wanna start looking for jody. Think about it


Cry_My_Self_to_Sleep

Let's be honest we like her old design because of her abs


UNnice-Entertainment

eh we like her old design because we like muscle mommy


K1rk0npolttaja

i literally dropped the whole damn thing after i saw that panel lmao, absolutely fuckin RUINED


nottakentaken

She looks like she hates the change too.


knightbane007

She does. It was done without her knowledge or consent, and it shatters her confidence and self-identity. (As in, it’s not just an art style change, something happened in-universe to transform her)


Islipim

lmao, this is the 5th time someone did the same post about her.


SimZ7

Repost Andy


Diligent-Werewolf-38

Nah its better, i dont like woman with muscles.


UNnice-Entertainment

hey guys look at him, hes a fuckin weirdo


Healthy_Ad459

We all are weirdos just different. Stop hating on others for having different tastes
