Thanks to my algorithm I get a lot of shorts promoting them, manwha is Korean manga: so far reading:
Doom breaker: last human alive flips off the demon god that apocalypsed the world blowing himself up in the process and taking his hand off as a last act. Demon God is so petty he got injured that asks for a redo so the MC decides to use it as an opportunity to screw him and the gods that did nothing too.
Return of bloodthirsty police: VERY recent one, hitman gets betrayed by organisation that made him what he is, comes back in the body of a police officer and just starts targeting the organisation brutally whilst using the police as a cover.
In terms of manga, your best bet is looking at some of the anime released and seeing reader responses, Overlord fans will tell you the light novel is A LOT darker and brutal than the anime and been hearing the same from Hell's Paradise readers too and that's got a throat ripping per episode.
Oh cool. I need to check it out. Also I have the Elric books in my pile to read. If you wanted something grimdark they say that is good
Smith: Elric is amazing... but remember that we had a tactile understanding of the world.. We picked up the (very) slim volumes of Elric, featuring a slim, and insanely white hero, with a sense of humanity that befits anyone who has actually lived, as I think you have.
Michael Moorcock, despite his odd name, is an absolutely wonderful writer. He did a series of novels set in Russia that blew my socks off. Some people, as it turns out, are just better than others, and he's one of them.
My favourite writer is Dostoyevsky (I know...), particularly his 'The Possessed'. Moorcock actually, and honestly, comes close to a similar understanding of what it means to be human.
So read Elric. Please do. But it's less 'good' than 'meditative'.
I really hope that it brings something to your life.
As a side note: you would probably love Steinbeck (not Mice and Men),
Aerotrain.
Thanks! I have a mountain of books to read but a more immediate stack and Elric is in that one. I do enjoy Steinbeck but Of Mice & Men was sad. I love Tortilla Flat
Elric is awesome. The nerfed version became Geralt, so that should tell you all you need to know.
I actually bought it because Nerdrotic and Razorfist said GRRM ripped off some aspects of it for Ice and Fire. Look forward to reading it
