@@xivering It's slow not boring. The payoff it brings is pretty good too. A lot of the problems with pacing gets remedied too when you binge the thing. Plus S2 is worth it for John's Character alone and he's not the only one holding it up as the plot is pretty good as well. People tend to see slow stories and shot on it, and while I get it, when a stories too slow patience starts to wear thin but it's not that bad the buildup and payoff for everything is pretty well done. Granted I haven't read it in 3 months as I caught up and I'm waiting until I can binge 30 to 60 chapters again
@@CantHandleThis6 I used to read it back in 2021 and yes, caught up with everything but I couldn't make myself come back to reread it(on 2022) because of how boring it is. The reason why I was able to caught up was because of my boredom. Now, I always find myself wanting to sleep while I was reading it lol Though, when it was 2022, I just had this sudden realization by how mid the plot is soo yeahh... Anyways perhaps it's different for someone else, so I don't know xd
When I first read this, it was really good. That until I rethink about the story, especially where Sera basically gets kidnapped by random kids from her high school. As I rethink this story, it’s very concerning how everyone will basically beat each other up to the point that they’re close to straight up murdering each other. Just because the other was weaker or have no powers at all and a wrong word or look will set the powerful ones over the edge that they think that had to hurt they physically. Like what happen if a student went too far and actually kill someone? How the parents and people who are literally in charge of watching these kids will react? Like I said the story was good, but I stop reading awhile ago, due to the pacing being slow for me.
Its concerning because thats the point. The whole point of the story is that a superpowered sociaty would be absolutely fucked up. They deconstruct this extremely well.
@@furiousfusion7890 yeah, I realize that a while ago. I was asking more out of curiosity. But the pacing is pretty slow and I kind of give up on read the rest
@@fallenmoon4586 Yea the pacing is the worst i have seen in a long time theres regular stretches where literally nothing happens then a few cluster episodes which are really good and get a lot done before getting back to long drawnout conversation about stuff we already know
@@furiousfusion7890 it started off really well but then it kept dragging on which ruined it imo, I wanna hear your opinion on the recent state of the story
@@xivering id say the recent state of the story is actually good. Spoilers for recent unordinary: John getting ability snatched was honestly quite interesting. Once he finally was coming to terms with his ability, he got it snatched. I was also quite interested to see how the disabler would affect his ability. Might i ask what specifically your asking about tho?
I would actually say that the story gets BETTER. The main issue is that the story had a bit of a pacing problem at one point, and combine that with waiting weekly and the author taking breaks every now and then, and you get left for awhile just waiting for a specific thing to happen when it just wont. But when the story gets going, IT GETS GOING. UnOrdinary is honestly great at deconstruction a superpowered sociaty, and how messed up it would actually be. But, like I said, its a slowburner and has a pacing issue for a bit. Its still my favorite webtoon, though.
@@meria2082 Yeah, it probably could have. That was a huge part if the 'waiting for something to happen' part. That along with the confrentation with sera. But when that picked up the pace, it was great.
I recommend Omniscient Reader, it’s very fast paced, has a big brain protagonist, an interesting premise. It’s also an action webtoon, so it’s a nice break, and was a very popular webnovel before being adapted into a webtoon. The art is *chef’s kiss* and the characters are loveable. 9.5/10
unordinary is one of those shows that are hyped so much that the dust blinds you from actually seeing the core of the story, which is mid. much like hero acedemia the die hard community carries it more than the actual show.
i dont know about you but last time i watched bnha i didnt see any mention of corrupt in society and mistreatment of high tier class powerful people but you can shit on the comic, not like its teenage mercenary lol
In my opnion the core does not matter. Where the story is derived from does not matter as all stories start off as an idea/ concept it's the layers that matter and make the story
I agree, MHA has really lost its core and the only thing keeping it afloat is the fans and their love for what was already established. I say this as an animanga consumer.
mha is not heavily carroed by its fandom lmfao the series only has such doe hard fans because it accomplishes what every story should do: captivate the reader. if you're still at the mental age where you let other peoples excitement build up your expectations then you should probably go pick up some more literature and media
Mha is not that bad, and I'm saying this as someone who abandoned the series. Mha just has a lot of missed potential that shows signs of touching, but eventually doesn't end up fulfilling (for example, the underutilized and sidelined female/side characters being one of the more obvious issues, with signs and promises that they will get important main roles, but ending up doing random hero work in the bg)
As someone who still reads it, it got boring and really slow paced in season 2 and hasn’t really redeemed itself yet. I just don’t understand why an artist would want to go through the trouble of drawing so much filler.
@@commentbot9510 on that note i agree im reading it since chapter 30 (if i remember right) and i just read it because im bored on the bus. I wouldnt recommend it but its not god awful
If you actually read the thing for a bit longer it becomes… decent, but I dropped it after about a hundred chapters. The story felt too dragged out, John became extremely unlikeable and the anti-hero trope felt like it was done way too edgy. Those are my most prominent reasons for dropping it, also because I just lost interest and it got boring.
The real kicker is when you realize that John was bullied because he had no abilities years back until he realized what it was. And what he do at the new school? Think it was a good idea to act like he had no abilities and got mad because he was bullied again… What did he expect was gonna happen? Lol
Pacing is fucked, that i won't deny, but i dissagree with your thoughts on john's anti hero arc, first its not an anti hero arc, its a villain arc so you're supposed to disslike him, and root for the royals, which was what made it very fun for me, though i'm a sucker for character drama, so i can't really blame you if you find the good guys beat the shit out of each other as a form of societal critique without any objective goal boring.
It takes SOOO LONG for the story to progress that I forgot that this webtoon existed three times and when I rediscovered it they still were in the same arc.
Yea I hated it when it looked like they regressed his character for plot they went through this whole thing saying he did bad things and regretted it but as soon as someone found out his past he completely went back to his old ways only hiding it from sera and no one else it felt forced
Being new to the webtoon and having the ability to read 300 chapters very quickly, the pacing isn't that bad, I assume the problem was waiting for it to come out every week, but it felt completely fine as I speedily scrolled through a bunch of chapters. I would agree I would very much dislike having to wait a week for those chapters, but I'm sure if this was turned into an anime, it would feel completely fine and as I read through years of work in about a day, the pacing didn't feel off at all.
@directorr_ The author said herself that the characters' emotions were 1st priority with plot being 2nd. Sure, John's negative arc drags on but it makes (spoiler) the final 'fight' between him and Sera and his redemption arc all the more satisfying.
ironically, i just finished binge reading it just before this video was uploaded. where the story lies currently is actually pretty interesting. there’s quite a few strong characters moments
Plsss I'm begging you give it a second chance the story has finally started to get going and it's all about ember and spectre now, and lots of exciting things are happening.
I used to read this Webtoon, I was obsessed with it lol. But eventually at some point where John (how do I say this without spoiling) reveals the truth about himself and changes into the better haircut, I started to lose interest. I mean the story was pretty interesting, but my god John became so fucking annoying. He kept doing things that made no sense to me and just kept making me angry while reading so I dropped it. I doubt I'll ever revisit it so someone who has read it, please tell me good news that John eventually becomes less annoying and more nice in like any way
I really dont see peoples problem with s2, i mean sure john's an asshole now but he's the villain of the arc, he's supposed to be disliked by the reader, and i think the story makes a pretty good job of making the heroes of the arc the royals likeable except the electricity girl who's just bland.
@@salgamsuyu9070 yeah I get that, I just really hate asshole characters so it gets annoting for me when the asshole character is constantly in the spotlight lol
@@swiftwithoutnumbers Literally not it. Just because I don't like asshole characters doesn't mean I want everything to be sunshine and rainbows. I liked how the story was even when he first started being an asshole. But it just kept going for so long it was irritating. (Now I haven't read this webtoon for a while so I might be wrong about some stuff) I don't recall ever seeing any other side of him. If you're going to have an asshole as the main character, it's important to show sides of them that make us want to root for them, like having John do all the same stuff he does normally, but also maybe showing that John wants to do good things but his anger shuts the thought down. At the start, I understood why John was acting like he did, but it just dragged on so long that I didn't feel empathetic toward him anymore. So 1.) Show some good in him, doesn't have to be anything major. Just show that he isn't fully a piece of shit. Or 2.) Make his asshole arc a little shorter. I didn't want to keep waiting for new chapters just for John to be mean at people, throwing or punching stuff, and disrespecting everyone around him. Maybe I'll go back to it at some point, sure, but considering how long it is now, I just don't see it being worth it
it was supposed to be bad though it wasnt supposed to be a anti hero trope and edgy or whatever it was literally supposed to make him flawed and more likeable later on he did some crazy shit but it did exactly what it was supposed to do he is not a good character and that was the whole point to make the redemption and healing arc better
While I still personally like this webtoon, I do agree that there are some issues with it -Pacing: Probably the most common complaint about this comic. The pacing is incredibly sluggish and takes forever for the exciting stuff to happen. But the latest episodes have started to pick up the pace though. -Bullies: I get that they are trying to sell the whole "strong over the weak" mentality that this world has, but seeing a bunch of bullies beat up John and other low tiers gets really old really fast. Really makes you think "where tf are the teachers". I swear, Darren and that one teacher from episode one are the only adults that are actually doing something about it (actually, I think the first 10 episodes are the only times where any adult has done something about the bullies) -Art: This is probably just me thing, but the entire Webtoon looks plain af, especially the later episodes. The characters look like something out of "how to draw anime" book, not to mention that the backgrounds look so empty. -Worldbuilding: This one is my biggest gripe with this webtoon. It's one thing to have a world where only a fraction of the population has a superpower, but it's another to give almost everyone a superpower. And yet, the world itself doesn't seem to revolve around this idea. Sure there's the societal values, but that's pretty much it. There isn't any lore that justifies the people having powers. It's just kinda... there. Literally the only thing that people use their powers for is to start street fights or enforce the law. Why aren't there hospitals run by people with healing/support abilities? Why aren't there delivery men using super speed or teleportation to deliver packages\food in short amount of time? There's this one other webtoon called Ordeal where they let super-powered people fight in MMA tournaments. Why don't they have something like that!? Uru-chan could have done so much more with this idea and I'm kinda disappointed that she didn't go that far.
You’ve put all my thoughts into words lmao I used to be OBSESSED with this webtoon but I gave up on it a long while ago. Actually, I’m shocked to hear that it’s still going! I swear I first started reading it when I was 12 (or 13 maybe?)… I’m 20 now. This story does NOT have enough lore or worldbuilding to justify the amount of time it is taking for the author to finish it. At least, it seemed that way from where I left off. If the author wasn’t going to fully flesh out this world and the characters living in it, then she should have wrapped it up years ago. She’s dragging it on at this point (which is the main reason why I dropped it. It became so obvious that the author was slowing the pace down so that she can get as much money out of it as possible, *which is understandable*, but It still made the story harder to read.) Also, I started to have a hard time liking the main characters. After awhile, the only characters I cared for was Isen, Rei, and Blyke (I think those were their names). And you’re not the only one who didn’t like the art. I hated it the moment I saw it. It took me awhile to get used to the way it looked. I basically tolerated it because I loved the concept of the story and the characters so much.
@JoVal Seems kinda redundant considering that 90 percent of the students are complete sadists who are definitely going to stir up trouble once they graduate. I mean, these kids literally set up a death pool and laugh at people getting murdered! And while we're on the topic of these bullies, what infuriates me the most about them is the fact that after John's villain arc ends and he actually starts to help the safe house, absolutely none of them apologized to him about how they treated him before hand. If they had found out that John lost his powers, chances are they'll go back to beating him up because, as Syndrome from the Incredibles said, they only respect him because he's a threat.
I agree with alot of the things you said, however it was mentioned that there are professional tournaments where people are allowed to use their powers. I'll be damned if I can find the chapter it's mentioned in, though.
Wow, someone with an actually good critique. I am basically reading the comic again because I left it around 200 episodes last time. But yeah the whole bullying thing got old so fast. So it triggered me when Remi was ignorant of all the bullying going around in her school. Like, whenever they show the school hallway, there is a fight. How can something like that be ignored? You can say, she used to ignore such things. But she had a revelation when she saved that small town( Brennish I think). So why was she still ignorant of what was happening around her, till John mentioned it? The Brennish thing happened like 50 episodes prior to her confrontation with John. So it makes you wonder how she failed to grasp what's going on around her, after that incident
As someone who read this, stopped for a while because of pacing issues, then picked it up again - the story gets better. Character development actually happens, and they get humanized in a refreshing way despite their powers. It's not a black-and-white world where it's easy to just deem an unlikable character evil. Heck, I even spent money to Fast Pass because I can't get enough of it right now, man.
I really liked season one. I liked how it tackled a lot of it's themes, and while I do agree with there being a pacing issue, that doesn't mean it's awful. The art get really good as well. I like the world it's made and the characters that inhabit it. I should probably read what we have of Season 2...
i still read unordinary and it is actually fire ngl! the story takes forever to develop i will not lie about that but it does improve a lot! i would recommend to keep reading it but right now are are 300 episodes up so far and i will not risk the safety of your guys’s mental health lollllll
I read weekly until like chapter 200 or something and it so dragged out it is literally painful to read, entire chapters of filler/nothing happening and half the time when the plot does advance it is just characters acting in the most irrational way possible. Unordinary fans always say "it's a slow burn bro" but it isn't, it's a slow bore. The character writing is hamfisted and barely coherent at times, the art is mediocre, the worldbuilding is bafflingly shallow and incompetent, the pacing is glacially slow. I don't think I've ever read another piece of media where the author takes so much time to say nothing at all. If the webtoon was like 1/3 of the size it might be an entertaining read, but as it is it is just tiring waiting week after week for a literal crumb of content that actually matters to the grander narrative. I say this as someone who has been reading weekly chapters of manga/webcomics for a long ass time. It is genuinely baffling to me that people still read this boring ass comic when some of the chapters are literally insulting to the reader in their banality.
@@jimjimson6208I don't like the long spaces of white panel, which is probably there to signify the passing of time, but I really just see it as a way to artificially increase the length of the episode. Aaaand the fact that one episode has so little content... (Insert letter spam here)
Ngl as much as I love unordinary, I know damn well how ordinary the whole webtoon is, 🤣😂 what's even more funny is that the only reason I started reading it is because I saw multiple comments on how john could destroy bam from tower of god and I got seriously curious to see what kind of character they are comparing with bam and boi I was disappointed lmaoooo but everyone seems to hype them so much that I decided to still read the whole webtoon to see everything else and yeah I came to love it as I continue, but tog still remains top 1 as it is peak fiction itself.
Dude I love unOrdinary, the only reason that I don't call it the best webtoon is because Tower of God and Eleceed exists. But man, there's no way in hell John's beating my main man The 25th Bam.
@@user-nu3sd7zb2jI hate the power scaling but no, coping is not Bam's main ability at all, not to mention that there are things unclear about him including his powers. So saying that John can destroy him is meh.
I'm not a big fan of any of those but how so? The only thing they have in common is superpowers. The premise of "people are born with powers" isn't the most original thing on the planet, I'd dare say it's probably as basic and unoriginal as it can get lol
I heavily dislikes Unordinary but Society with abilities and discrimination isn't owned by MHA it has existed for a long time, MHA just happened take the media by storm
I really do recommend people to stick with this , although the pacing may slow down a bit at times it’s still a great story that offers a lot, it’s still just as good as it was at the start, also everyone gets character development and we get to learn more about each of them too, plus there are a lot of great fight scenes and team ups throughout the entire series, the plot is also great and some things have finally been revealed and we will get more answers as the story progresses.
Okay, before I start, I will say that I do indeed have a bias. I’ve been reading this webtoon for years, keeping up with almost every update since sometime around 2018. But I do believe that Unordinary is one of the few hyped up webtoons that can actually back it up, but not for the reason you may think. It’s action is good, but not nearly as good as a lot of other webtoons such as God of Highschool. What makes Unordinary so damn great is it’s characters, and the motivations for them fighting. I will go ahead and say that it is a s l o w start. In due part, you can notice the story taking a major shift when Uru’s art stops being so damn shiny and takes a bit more of a natural approach with its colors. The main two protagonists, John and Sera, undergo major changes to their character, John especially, because a large portion of his character arc is learning to accept himself( It may not seem like that, but later chapters will make it obvious), and Sera learning to actually help others and not being biased towards weaker people. It’s not a full 10/10, but damn it can really get there at some points. As I said, the slow pace can really turn some people off if the initial hook may not be interesting, sometimes the characters can make some questionable decisions, and if you aren’t too keen to the anime esc aesthetic, then it may not be for you. But whether you left and thinking about reading it again, or new and thinking about reading it, I highly recommend it. A great action story with characters that have TRUE depth to them.
I agree, this has a lot of character building and conflict rising. And I really enjoy the character archetypes, I wish to see more of Isen, Blyke, and Remi they're the ones that showed a lot of growth imo. From where it's at right now it doesn't seem like the end is near, I just wish that uru chan can fasten up the pace a bit because she just uncovered a huge part of this story. She uncovered the organizations/actual worldly societal flaws, corruption, it expanded so far out from where it was in the beginning it would actually take forever for the story to finish. I'm not sure if it's possible to send out 2 eps per week, or even just make longer episodes to cover more parts of the lore, that would actually be pretty cool. But anyway yeah it's still a very enjoyable webtoon, just wish we got more world building episodes.
@@steve-zo4bf Sometimes yeah, but I remember the shit that webtoon creators go through and I’m not necessarily mad at them. It also helps that for the webtoons I really like, I let them build up and then come back them after a couple months and read all the new stuff.
If you have dropped this webtoon I'm begging you give it a second chance- the story has finally started to get going and it's all about ember and spectre now, and lots of exciting things are happening
@@nixxdra Yo ive been reading for like 5 years just binge reading whenever I remember about it existing after a couple of months but I can confidentially say all the John character development and past trauma stuff is out of the way and now its literally about spectre and amber and their shady business and the behind of the authorities
This video inspired me to read it and it's fucking incredible actually. I see a lot of people complaining about the pacing and how it wasn't enjoyable but frankly I think that's a them problem. I personally loved it even though I'm not a big fan of slow burn because it REALLY made me feel. I went from loving John to hating him to loving him again and every other character developed in a really realistic and interesting manner. It shows that character development isn't linear. Sometimes you repeat the same mistakes but you've got to learn to forgive yourself and move on. As someone who absolutely detested John in that arc and couldn't justify his actions at all, it's crazy how my feelings have changed. He was traumatized severely and his self-hatred was the root of his problems- he's a flawed protagonist but that's what makes him brilliant. When Sera confronts John at the end of the Joker arc- that was the best payoff possible. Anyway I could go on a 200 page rant about how fucking good it is and if you you don't like it then that's fine and all but don't tell me the plot is generic or shit because it's actually brilliant writing and insanely complex (I say this as a writer who actually hated mha's bad writing and will find faults with almost everything). ... (Also I am fully prepared to back up every point I've made so again, unless pacing was your only issue then don't try to make up things to be mad at or dislike because that's stupid.)
Unordinary is actually really good in my opinion. Better than Mha at least (Still like mha tbh just lost some of its magic). It can get a little slow at times but to be honest the payoff was worth it in my opinion and John is a really great character. Haven't read it in 3 months tho, I tend to read webtoons, catch up, dip for months, than come back when there are 30 more chapters or so so that I can binge than repeat. Also I think reading Lumine could be fun if you're up for it
Still reading it and ngl, it does feel like MHA on "a low budget." Season 1 was good. Season 2 was an "anti-hero" edge lord fest, which attracted controversy and some fans were antagonistic towards the creator. Hope season 3 doesn't turn into something worse
@@kyrohowe3156 Did you say Mha s2 was an edgelord. Did you watch the show? Or did I misinterpret what you said. Besides I think Unordinary is better than Mha at actual world building and letting us know the values and thought process which this society runs on and the consequences for stepping outta that norm. It shows very well that the strong prey on the weak and that the weak prey on those weaker than them. So for those at the bottom like John and *Redacted* (You know who I'm referring to) life is truly hell. It even shows how the hierarchy works and what happens to those who fall from grace. Along with the suppressed feelings of the weak.
@Segun Olopade no I said Unordinary season 2 is an edge lord fest. I was referring to the webcomic, in comparison of the MHA anime/manga. Please read my comment again before you assume. (due to my experience of people attacking me before understanding what I'm writing) Yes, I have watched the anime as I'm on season 6
Hell to the no Unordinary isn't better than MHA. People downplay MHA so bad and as a fan of the manga it's saddening. The art and emotion and shiguraki as a Villian is AMAZING. MHA is in another league compared to this.
No mha a professional show is better than a webcomic made by some random person who flopped after season 1 💀 (not a fan of either one mha still sucks dogwater compared to other shows/manga)
Nah UnOrdinary is peak asf and I'm dead certain most criticisms of pacing come from trying to keep up with it week to week. I beg anyone who reads this to check it out now that season 2 just wrapped up. There's a lot to sink your teeth into
This webtoon was pretty hype up until Seraphina lost her powers and John started being a lil shit. After that the plot became so slow and sluggish that I swear in like 2 years of reading maybe 3 important things happened.
@freerobux49 hey man I just started rereading it And I'm going to be completely honest the start of season 2 was way too slow to a point where I would quite literally skip five chapters and it's pretty much stay on the same plot point then skip another five chapters for it to be the same thing It really felt like the dress Rosa Arc in one piece
UnOrdinary is fine. Sadly it falls into the pool of seeming more mid as you wait each week. Could you imagine Harry Potter but each chapter is 1/4 as long, its drawn, has random breaks, and even one season(book) takes like a year and a half to come out? it wouldnt be half as popular webtoon is not made to support stories that take forever. this includes me, as i took a long break after season 2 began, completely reread it like a year later, and i straight havnt touched the story in months not because its bad, but because of the formula of waiting
unordinary is peak. If you say anything bad about your ip shall be found, your family shall be found, your job shall be found, your dog shall be found, we will know....... anyways good video
unordinary is ass. The only reason why it used to be good is bc the main character is weak but then season 2 takes that away and turns out he’s the strongest in the universe.
@@pUbErtYy_49 Ehh, not really. The whole point of UnOrdinary is to deconstruct the concept of a superpoweref sociaty, and how shitty it would be. John's struggles with his ability are a great catalist to show each side of the spectrum when it comes to ability levels. Its also a story about corruption, which is seen in EMBER, the athorities, and SPECTRE.
@@Jaey33 yeah, they actually had to buff Class 1B through the roof with the whole "while you were busy fighting on a real battleground I was studying my quirk at school so we're on the same level!" thingy to compete with 1A, all of them got so much goddamn combat experience, Izuku himself already fought against so many endgame threats and reality warping maniacs, and the other class mates were not far behind, surprised the fight was fair
@@xivering here’s some of my faves Uriah - a dark, twisted story with ppl who really need therapy City of blank - the art is amazing and the whole story concept and world is quite unique Purple Hyacinth- it is a bit of a basic mystery but the art, characters and the MUSIC!!! adds charm to it Surviving Romance- an isekia romance turned horror where the mc must navigate through a story she’s in and how to set the plot back on track Cursed Princess Club - this one’s already pretty popular with well known themes but how it handles them is amazing, also very funny and fun Like Wind on a Dry branch- A cup of fantasy, mixed with a romance with a male interest that screams best ML ever to me, I dunno how to put any other way, I just love him😂 Urban animal - a boy who was normal until he wasn’t and has an ancient magical beast as his past life. And he’s being hunted for it👍🏽 There’s only I’d say 2 primarily romance books here cuz heck finding good romance in WEBTOON is almost impossible Hope u like these, and it’s mandatory to like PH, it just is
@@xivering I recommend the "greatest estate developer" cuz it's funny it's about a guy who gets isekaid into some story he was reading but tries to use the powers of capitalism and shovels to become rich
TBH the only literal 4/10 time for this manga is when it starts to drag on the "Evil John arc" and each chapter starts to look like "Hey John is really rude, he screams at someone and does something stupid" for a longer time until SeraVSJohn fight. But overall i would say this Webtoon is 7/10, the world is pretty janky i'll agree but i dont have a problem to the pace right now and i just find it enjoyable to read.
This is still my favorite webtoon, huge fan of superheroes and secrets/hidden identities so this is great for me. Especially since I’ve re-read it so many times I can skip the boring filler lol
UnOrdinary is one of those stories that you have to read past the first season to really understand what it’s about. There’s more depth to the story than first impressions meet the eye. I admit at first it was just an ordinary Webtoon until the story began progressing and season 2 came around with the biggest plot twists ever. Definitely think you should give it another go
Ikr!!! I'm a really big fan so I'm glad there are people who agree. This is really a story where you have to be patient but the payoff is amazing every time.
@@NaN-wx9ss ya everyone hating on something without really giving it a chance. I recently re read the joker arc and it was actually really good, everyone hated on it because they were reading weekly
unordinary is basically a solid series, similar to my hero academia. nothing crazy, pretty generic, its just okay overall. it may be a bit overhype but ig thats bc how passionate the community is. webtoon also kinda sucks now, not the stories but the app itself and how it functions, back then i didnt need to pay in order to read an already finished story. the only reason why i still have webtoon is bc of tower of god, i still like the story and i want to support the author (siu).
There are some pacing issues true but it is actually a nice read. Characters are nice and there are many mysteries waiting to be solved. I was struggling to read it trough the arc where John was beating everyone but once past that part it gets rly good.
I’d actually recommend people to read it to learn from John’s arc. I believe that it’s a prime example of what not to do. *Spoilers* Sure, making your MC beat up every single bully is cathartic to our monkey brain, but it’s not what the story needed. In writing, obstacles are what keeps the story going. Having the underdog character suddenly be overpowered is like trying to climb a mountain, looking left, and finding out there was an escalator the whole time. But the whole point of climbing the mountain is to get stronger so that escalator defeats the purpose of mountain climbing in the first place. Also keep the villain arc going for too long and people will start to hate the character.
i think id have to disagree- the intrigue about john isn't that he's overpowered and can beat up the characters you don't like, it's about how he and the system fail to process the trauma he has in a healthy way and he relapses. he's overly powerful because it benefits the story, he's way too powerful for a person so mentally broken and the systems in place in their incredibly corrupt society only serve to make people like him worse. he's supposed to be the example of what happens when the biases in this society are left unchecked (he grows up without a power, so when he ends up overpowered he gets drunk off it and hurts a lot of people yada yada). the characters are supposed to be a bit unlikeable because they're high tiers and examples of how this society would condition you to think, and they have to learn and grow and change and john beating them down isn't supposed to be a triumph but meant to make you realize how fucked up their world is since you can sort of see it from both perspectives if that makes sense. the obstacle is johns failure to recognize that he needs to process his trauma in order to grow and recognize that people arent all monsters (which, it makes some sense he thinks that way after...everhthing hes been through with the other students authorities etc). that's really long idk if it's just word vomit but it's my thoughts on it
I disagree I think this was actually a clever way to write a traumatised character as people with flashbacks can be violent and think the word is against them and out to get them and that everyone is betraying them. Honestly his whole arc hit far too close to home. Imo good writing
Tbh, I think that this trope/pacing COULD work IF (and this is just my opinion) : 1. John didn't become such a lil shit 💀 2. The story wasn't hyped to be no power dude vs these powerful dudes (basically an underdog story like weak hero, lookism, viral hit etc) 3. Or if John REALLY has to be a villain, don't make that plot too long/overbearing (like you said). Give chances for his old kinder self to breath between his evil moments. There's probably more ways to make this plot better but It's been a while since I last read the webtoon so these are just based on my memory. Tldr this could work if the pacing and choices made in the story are done a little better :) Although I do heard John became better as of now so I'll try to check that out soon ^^
You clearly missed the whole point of Johns arc, you’re not supposed to root for him, the arc isn’t meant for us to love him, we’re supposed to dislike him, but we’re supposed to understand why he’s the way he is, his trauma that he was put through is fucking insane
Personally I absolutely *love* this Webtoon. Especially the first few arcs - in my opinion the most engaging stories r those with a big secret that you’re on the edge of ur seat waiting for the other characters to discover. & idk its just an intriguing world 😆🤷♀️ I respect criticisms of the comic but personally I just love almost every aspect
So I started reading it. I got f*cking addicted to it and now I am simply unable to read physical books before I finish this sh*t. I mean, like it's so bad that I can't even read House of Hades by Rick Riordan! I have to return it to the library this saturday! And I LOVE Riordan's books! I blame you for this. :)
I would love to see you make videos for Eleceed and How to Become a Dragon. They are actually pretty well written, but also goofy enough to make for good content!
I used to read this a few years back, and I actually really liked it, but it eventually got to the point where I just couldn’t stand it anymore. John became a superpowered edge lord, there was some weird side plots going on with the other characters that I honestly couldn’t care less about, and the comments… I swear, John could kill an entire family and the comments would still defend him. I’ve never seen a more toxic comment section. Maybe I’ll revisit it someday, though.
i used to really enjoy this webtoon but ended up dropping it around episode 200 since it was dragging so much and the story got so convoluted. it’s better than a lot of webtoons but not by much
UnOrdinary was the first comic I had ever read, so, it still does have a special place in my heart, and the characters are pretty well developed compared to other stories, but yeah, the basis that the story had set was quite, well, ordinary. Basic, if you will. Still, it got me into comics, which is now my main source of entertainment, so I can never hate it. Overall, 6/10
*A few spoilers here and there I honestly find it pretty good, the story is basic but I’m just low-key a sucker for power tussle and prosecution plots either ways😂 and I find myself rooting for John as he overcomes his past mistakes, accepts his power and better himself. It’s shown to be difficult, infuriating and there are realistic setbacks, and it’s not every fiction u see authentic character development and redemption like that. I will agree it’s so slow paced, especially when John was going berserk, like why drag it on to false jokers and him just terrorising the safe house 💀 and now I don’t understand y we’re going back to remi, isen and blyke’s vigilante spree🙄 But overall it’s good, I kinda enjoy like I enjoy MHA, it’s nothing new but has interesting enough characters and plot to keep me going, a solid 7/10 for me👍🏽
Honestly I always found the trio’s vigilante sprees to be a bit boring so hopefully it’s short or at least interesting this time. Maybe I’m just biased for the Sera and John content tho 💀
yk, I used to love this webtoon so, so much. was on the amino, watched the creator do interviews on yt, etc. after the 1st season ended I noticed that arcs would drag on for so long-even more so than the previous season which was still passable and fun. chapters started feeling like nothing burgers with theories and stuff introduced but nothing truly happening or it'd take a long time for it to, killing the hype. I haven't read since the field trip arc and don't know when I'll pick it back up:/
Unordinary is still one of favs and I would recommend it, the story line is good except it's slow-paced. Art, well I mean it's not always about art and is decent.
Funny enough, my favorite Webtoon is called “Surviving Romance” It’s a horror Webtoon about a girl who got to be the main character in her favorite book and she knows each step that the MC takes to get her happy ending with the love interest of the story (who I forgor the name of 💀), whoever are extras and aren’t central to the story are completely faceless and unrecognizable because the MC just sees them as the NPCs When her happy ending comes though, turns out that her husbando turned into a zombie and bit her hand, then she wakes up in her bed (yup, we’ve got a Groundhog Day situation!) and that’s the first episode She keeps dying no matter what she does (staying at home, going to different places of the school, and even saving her husbando kills her) I really recommend reading this webcomic, it’s first season is really good (though it gets pretty slow in the middle and I still hate love triangles, so I wasn’t excited for the second love interest and despised the [little spoiler here] yandere girl extra that’s revealed in the middle-but the MC turns into a badass that eventually doesn’t care about any romance anymore)
NEVER DROP THIS, the main character has a ability that's mistaken as a copycat ability, but as of the time of writing this he has grown so he doesn't need a sample and is going to the good side
Same!!! But this was the video that got me to check it out and fall in love with so at least that's one good thing about it lol (still hate how much people hate on it for no reason).
I wonder how it would have been if uru kept John powerless. It was her initial idea, but she quickly scraped it in the first few episodes. I think it would have been pretty cool, we don’t need an emo mc with brooding powers to be good but I mean, I still like John either way soo….
I love this Webtoon!! John is a genuinely well written character with tons of development, and seeing his growth and progress throughout the series makes him feel like a real person struggling with real problems. Also, the world and politics in this webtoon are very well developed. Anyone who dropped this toward the beginning or are thinking about starting it for the first time 100% should!!
I have a list of webtoons you can read! URIAH, Omniscient Reader, Jackson's Diary, Out of sight Out of body, The Wrath and the Dawn, Mystic Prince, Castle Swimmer, Be My Villain, Heir's Game, Eleceed, The Prince of Southland, BlackSun, The Producer's Second Life, The World After the Fall, Miracle Simulator, Love Advice from the Great Duke of hell! All of these are good :)
@@anapple6912 I've only read 2 of these but Jackson's diary gets kind of gay. I personally don't like reading bl, so I kind of stray away from those stories.
This is like the second webtoon that I read, used to like it but then bam, just dropped it because I felt like things are all over the place. If you want a good romance webtoon I suggest "Miss Abbott and the Doctor" best romance ive ever read, miscommunications gets solved easily and it's not frustrating to read!
Reading just to episode 10 is like only watching Invincible episode 1 partly through right before the big plot twist ending. This shit goes bonkers and brutal later. The "powerless" protagonist got the super power therapy equivalent of Alan Turing's medical treatment. Shit gets fucked up.
Kinda funny how when everyone became powerless to John they wanna start acting like civil people, but before that it was free game to just be a shitty person.
Nah unordinary slaps tho it starts getting good at the joker arc Also john isn't a weakling he's just pretending to be he actually has the strongest ability in the entire series (copying and amplifying other people their ability). For those interested i highly recommend it for it's one of the better shows out there!
The story is good, character buildup is starting to show, the plot is going like a rabbit hole that you just need to know how deep it goes. It keeps me wanting to know whos who and whats what, and what will happen, basically the hook that has me as a story should have. My only peeve is the pacing. I'm a patient guy, so so. But it does feel a little dragging.
this is my guilty pleasure webtoon idc 😭 majority of the pacing issue is due to the weekly release schedule imo (although i do think certain arcs couldve been shorter regardless) but it's so entertaining and the latest eps went super hard
It's a great webtoon if you're patient or have too much time on your hands. Like with a bunch of other webtoons, it has a bit of a when-will-this-end-oh-my-god-why-is-this-taking-so-long-please-end problem. Interesting concept, but could be paced better.
I'd say UnOrdinary is the kind of story that does many things good, which makes it so hyped up by the fanbase, yet at the same time it makes also many things bad. So it's basically a series of highs and lows. Except that, while some highs are pretty high, most of them fail to outbear the lows. To be honest I still think this webtoon is worth checking out. Especially if you're tired of the superhero genre (cough MHA cough), then I'd say this webtoon gives a breath of fresh air on that one. Worldbuilding's also pretty good. Plot is a bit gripping, even if it drops down lots of times. There's lots of foreshadowing, so if you're the type of person that likes to pick up on clues and gets the sense of excitment when it turns out to be right, you also may enjoy this. The only thing I can fully say is meh about this webtoon are 99% of characters. The author does a lot of hinting towards a character development for each of the major ones, so you anticipate it, yet when it finally happens most of the time you're like "...that's it?". Anyways, tho it makes for a good title, I wouldn't call it just Ordinary.
I’m only one minute in, but that made me realize.. I haven’t seen a teacher in this school since the first chapter. The nurse was really breaking his back being the only sensible authorities figure, and now he’s GONE 😭❓

Read space boy
I have made a webtoon, it's called start of the apocolypse, be careful it will get gory, I animate my old idea I made from my comic,
Dont review it please
Also could you do more you have a charm, I also don't wanna read it.
I think you should try to read viral hit
I used to love this Webtoon , but then I stopped reading around season 2, I kinda wanna reread it now 💀
Don’t do it. I got caught up on it a while ago but it was painfully boring not even laughably bad
@@xivering It's slow not boring. The payoff it brings is pretty good too. A lot of the problems with pacing gets remedied too when you binge the thing. Plus S2 is worth it for John's Character alone and he's not the only one holding it up as the plot is pretty good as well. People tend to see slow stories and shot on it, and while I get it, when a stories too slow patience starts to wear thin but it's not that bad the buildup and payoff for everything is pretty well done. Granted I haven't read it in 3 months as I caught up and I'm waiting until I can binge 30 to 60 chapters again
@@CantHandleThis6 hmm.. fair point, I think I’m just used to chainsaw man pacing. Thanks for the insight
@@CantHandleThis6 I used to read it back in 2021 and yes, caught up with everything but I couldn't make myself come back to reread it(on 2022) because of how boring it is. The reason why I was able to caught up was because of my boredom. Now, I always find myself wanting to sleep while I was reading it lol
Though, when it was 2022, I just had this sudden realization by how mid the plot is soo yeahh...
Anyways perhaps it's different for someone else, so I don't know xd
@@CantHandleThis6 well said
When I first read this, it was really good. That until I rethink about the story, especially where Sera basically gets kidnapped by random kids from her high school.
As I rethink this story, it’s very concerning how everyone will basically beat each other up to the point that they’re close to straight up murdering each other. Just because the other was weaker or have no powers at all and a wrong word or look will set the powerful ones over the edge that they think that had to hurt they physically. Like what happen if a student went too far and actually kill someone?
How the parents and people who are literally in charge of watching these kids will react?
Like I said the story was good, but I stop reading awhile ago, due to the pacing being slow for me.
Its concerning because thats the point. The whole point of the story is that a superpowered sociaty would be absolutely fucked up. They deconstruct this extremely well.
@@furiousfusion7890 yeah, I realize that a while ago. I was asking more out of curiosity. But the pacing is pretty slow and I kind of give up on read the rest
@@fallenmoon4586 Yea the pacing is the worst i have seen in a long time theres regular stretches where literally nothing happens then a few cluster episodes which are really good and get a lot done before getting back to long drawnout conversation about stuff we already know
@@furiousfusion7890 it started off really well but then it kept dragging on which ruined it imo, I wanna hear your opinion on the recent state of the story
@@xivering id say the recent state of the story is actually good.
Spoilers for recent unordinary:
John getting ability snatched was honestly quite interesting. Once he finally was coming to terms with his ability, he got it snatched. I was also quite interested to see how the disabler would affect his ability. Might i ask what specifically your asking about tho?
I would actually say that the story gets BETTER. The main issue is that the story had a bit of a pacing problem at one point, and combine that with waiting weekly and the author taking breaks every now and then, and you get left for awhile just waiting for a specific thing to happen when it just wont. But when the story gets going, IT GETS GOING. UnOrdinary is honestly great at deconstruction a superpowered sociaty, and how messed up it would actually be. But, like I said, its a slowburner and has a pacing issue for a bit. Its still my favorite webtoon, though.
Same! I love unOrdinary but the pacing issue just became too much to bear in the 200s.
The john beating ppl up arc could prob have been condensed into half the chapters
@@meria2082 Yeah, it probably could have. That was a huge part if the 'waiting for something to happen' part. That along with the confrentation with sera. But when that picked up the pace, it was great.
oh god that one stretch was just horrible to get through lmao
Its a slow burn on different places because cliffhangers on interesting stuff is always two chapters away ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
I recommend Omniscient Reader, it’s very fast paced, has a big brain protagonist, an interesting premise. It’s also an action webtoon, so it’s a nice break, and was a very popular webnovel before being adapted into a webtoon. The art is *chef’s kiss* and the characters are loveable. 9.5/10
i absolutely love that webtoon
seconded!
too bad I stopped reading it (not saying it's bad, there are just aspects I prefer not included) D:
yeah true the characters are really likable and it never drags
@@randomassjellyfish what aspects???
The one thing I recall from this webtoon is a character asking John what he's doing at a house and John goes: *"Bitch, I live here!"* that's it. 😅
lol, he uses the power of memes
I think it's sad that I know the exact moment that happens ep58
😂😂😂
unordinary is one of those shows that are hyped so much that the dust blinds you from actually seeing the core of the story, which is mid. much like hero acedemia the die hard community carries it more than the actual show.
i dont know about you but last time i watched bnha i didnt see any mention of corrupt in society and mistreatment of high tier class powerful people
but you can shit on the comic, not like its teenage mercenary lol
In my opnion the core does not matter. Where the story is derived from does not matter as all stories start off as an idea/ concept it's the layers that matter and make the story
I agree, MHA has really lost its core and the only thing keeping it afloat is the fans and their love for what was already established. I say this as an animanga consumer.
mha is not heavily carroed by its fandom lmfao the series only has such doe hard fans because it accomplishes what every story should do: captivate the reader. if you're still at the mental age where you let other peoples excitement build up your expectations then you should probably go pick up some more literature and media
Mha is not that bad, and I'm saying this as someone who abandoned the series. Mha just has a lot of missed potential that shows signs of touching, but eventually doesn't end up fulfilling (for example, the underutilized and sidelined female/side characters being one of the more obvious issues, with signs and promises that they will get important main roles, but ending up doing random hero work in the bg)
Fortunatly as the story goes on it gets cool and there are some cool plotwists
I haven’t kept up in months but it was real boring where I left off
the one piece effect: where a show/story takes forever to get interesting
@@cowbearrie oh yeah for sure that’s exactly it but worse
As someone who still reads it, it got boring and really slow paced in season 2 and hasn’t really redeemed itself yet.
I just don’t understand why an artist would want to go through the trouble of drawing so much filler.
@@commentbot9510 on that note i agree im reading it since chapter 30 (if i remember right) and i just read it because im bored on the bus. I wouldnt recommend it but its not god awful
If you actually read the thing for a bit longer it becomes… decent, but I dropped it after about a hundred chapters. The story felt too dragged out, John became extremely unlikeable and the anti-hero trope felt like it was done way too edgy.
Those are my most prominent reasons for dropping it, also because I just lost interest and it got boring.
The real kicker is when you realize that John was bullied because he had no abilities years back until he realized what it was. And what he do at the new school? Think it was a good idea to act like he had no abilities and got mad because he was bullied again… What did he expect was gonna happen? Lol
@@wonderer2632 exactly
Pacing is fucked, that i won't deny, but i dissagree with your thoughts on john's anti hero arc, first its not an anti hero arc, its a villain arc so you're supposed to disslike him, and root for the royals, which was what made it very fun for me, though i'm a sucker for character drama, so i can't really blame you if you find the good guys beat the shit out of each other as a form of societal critique without any objective goal boring.
@@wonderer2632 He doesn't use his powers because he thinks hes unworthy of them, and deserves to be treated the way he is, as a resault of trauma.
@@wonderer2632 Even his dad called him out for being a dumbass lol😂
It takes SOOO LONG for the story to progress that I forgot that this webtoon existed three times and when I rediscovered it they still were in the same arc.
😱
😂😂😂
Still faster than I Love Yoo
idk if it's the same arc you were talking about but it seems to be coming to an end finally
but its actually pretty good rn, plus art style is pretty cool imo
Unordinary or it's other name, John beats up everyone for 80 chapters straight until he realizes they were trying to help.
This IS where i drop the Comic John became a real Piece of Trash and IT got more annoying
Who tried to genuinely help him besides sera???💀
@@john_negs7720 Remi
Remi was the only person who didn't deserve it
Yea I hated it when it looked like they regressed his character for plot they went through this whole thing saying he did bad things and regretted it but as soon as someone found out his past he completely went back to his old ways only hiding it from sera and no one else it felt forced
Being new to the webtoon and having the ability to read 300 chapters very quickly, the pacing isn't that bad, I assume the problem was waiting for it to come out every week, but it felt completely fine as I speedily scrolled through a bunch of chapters. I would agree I would very much dislike having to wait a week for those chapters, but I'm sure if this was turned into an anime, it would feel completely fine and as I read through years of work in about a day, the pacing didn't feel off at all.
Let's not forget that there's alot of work put behind that, so in my opinion, one chapter per week is okay.
yeah I didn't have an issue with pacing cause I just binged it when it already had a lot of chapters lol
Joker arc felt long
@directorr_ The author said herself that the characters' emotions were 1st priority with plot being 2nd. Sure, John's negative arc drags on but it makes (spoiler) the final 'fight' between him and Sera and his redemption arc all the more satisfying.
ironically, i just finished binge reading it just before this video was uploaded. where the story lies currently is actually pretty interesting. there’s quite a few strong characters moments
It's been awhile for me. But have they started rebelling against the government already?
@@iqbalfarhan2504 it's starting to look like its finally become the main focus instead of highschool drama
I really miss Joker John he got that Black Air Force energy! He wanted all the smoke! He was on that Demon Time!
Yesssss. So excited to hear you talk about this Webtoon. I used to really enjoy it, but I honestly felt like it dragged on and on, so I dropped it :(
Plsss I'm begging you give it a second chance the story has finally started to get going and it's all about ember and spectre now, and lots of exciting things are happening.
Nah it gets good now and that arc people complain about actually does good things to John character later
I used to read this Webtoon, I was obsessed with it lol. But eventually at some point where John (how do I say this without spoiling) reveals the truth about himself and changes into the better haircut, I started to lose interest. I mean the story was pretty interesting, but my god John became so fucking annoying. He kept doing things that made no sense to me and just kept making me angry while reading so I dropped it. I doubt I'll ever revisit it so someone who has read it, please tell me good news that John eventually becomes less annoying and more nice in like any way
Slowly getting his redemption arc
I really dont see peoples problem with s2, i mean sure john's an asshole now but he's the villain of the arc, he's supposed to be disliked by the reader, and i think the story makes a pretty good job of making the heroes of the arc the royals likeable except the electricity girl who's just bland.
@@salgamsuyu9070 yeah I get that, I just really hate asshole characters so it gets annoting for me when the asshole character is constantly in the spotlight lol
@@Game_Erica bros preferred story: 🌞🍭🍭🌈🌈😃😃🌻🌻😄😄
@@swiftwithoutnumbers Literally not it. Just because I don't like asshole characters doesn't mean I want everything to be sunshine and rainbows. I liked how the story was even when he first started being an asshole. But it just kept going for so long it was irritating. (Now I haven't read this webtoon for a while so I might be wrong about some stuff) I don't recall ever seeing any other side of him. If you're going to have an asshole as the main character, it's important to show sides of them that make us want to root for them, like having John do all the same stuff he does normally, but also maybe showing that John wants to do good things but his anger shuts the thought down. At the start, I understood why John was acting like he did, but it just dragged on so long that I didn't feel empathetic toward him anymore. So 1.) Show some good in him, doesn't have to be anything major. Just show that he isn't fully a piece of shit. Or 2.) Make his asshole arc a little shorter. I didn't want to keep waiting for new chapters just for John to be mean at people, throwing or punching stuff, and disrespecting everyone around him. Maybe I'll go back to it at some point, sure, but considering how long it is now, I just don't see it being worth it
Hate is over blown honestly, not saying it's flawless but the arc everyone hates does more good than bad imo
My favorite arc tbh
it was supposed to be bad though it wasnt supposed to be a anti hero trope and edgy or whatever it was literally supposed to make him flawed and more likeable later on he did some crazy shit but it did exactly what it was supposed to do he is not a good character and that was the whole point to make the redemption and healing arc better
@@pwincesscutz well said, alot of people just can't understand that

@@baba50040 Yea that is the major issue it is easier when you can read it all in one go but oh boy when it was coming out it was torture
Wow, I didn’t even realize John met Terrance in the second episode.
ik re-reading it during the john-being-a-dick arc is so fun because you get to go "wow i dont like any of these 3 people"
While I still personally like this webtoon, I do agree that there are some issues with it
-Pacing: Probably the most common complaint about this comic. The pacing is incredibly sluggish and takes forever for the exciting stuff to happen. But the latest episodes have started to pick up the pace though.
-Bullies: I get that they are trying to sell the whole "strong over the weak" mentality that this world has, but seeing a bunch of bullies beat up John and other low tiers gets really old really fast. Really makes you think "where tf are the teachers". I swear, Darren and that one teacher from episode one are the only adults that are actually doing something about it (actually, I think the first 10 episodes are the only times where any adult has done something about the bullies)
-Art: This is probably just me thing, but the entire Webtoon looks plain af, especially the later episodes. The characters look like something out of "how to draw anime" book, not to mention that the backgrounds look so empty.
-Worldbuilding: This one is my biggest gripe with this webtoon. It's one thing to have a world where only a fraction of the population has a superpower, but it's another to give almost everyone a superpower. And yet, the world itself doesn't seem to revolve around this idea. Sure there's the societal values, but that's pretty much it. There isn't any lore that justifies the people having powers. It's just kinda... there. Literally the only thing that people use their powers for is to start street fights or enforce the law. Why aren't there hospitals run by people with healing/support abilities? Why aren't there delivery men using super speed or teleportation to deliver packages\food in short amount of time? There's this one other webtoon called Ordeal where they let super-powered people fight in MMA tournaments. Why don't they have something like that!? Uru-chan could have done so much more with this idea and I'm kinda disappointed that she didn't go that far.
You’ve put all my thoughts into words lmao I used to be OBSESSED with this webtoon but I gave up on it a long while ago.
Actually, I’m shocked to hear that it’s still going! I swear I first started reading it when I was 12 (or 13 maybe?)… I’m 20 now. This story does NOT have enough lore or worldbuilding to justify the amount of time it is taking for the author to finish it. At least, it seemed that way from where I left off.
If the author wasn’t going to fully flesh out this world and the characters living in it, then she should have wrapped it up years ago. She’s dragging it on at this point (which is the main reason why I dropped it. It became so obvious that the author was slowing the pace down so that she can get as much money out of it as possible, *which is understandable*, but It still made the story harder to read.)
Also, I started to have a hard time liking the main characters. After awhile, the only characters I cared for was Isen, Rei, and Blyke (I think those were their names).
And you’re not the only one who didn’t like the art. I hated it the moment I saw it. It took me awhile to get used to the way it looked. I basically tolerated it because I loved the concept of the story and the characters so much.
The principal told the school staff to not get involved with the fights since he wants the school to be like a mini society
@JoVal Seems kinda redundant considering that 90 percent of the students are complete sadists who are definitely going to stir up trouble once they graduate. I mean, these kids literally set up a death pool and laugh at people getting murdered! And while we're on the topic of these bullies, what infuriates me the most about them is the fact that after John's villain arc ends and he actually starts to help the safe house, absolutely none of them apologized to him about how they treated him before hand. If they had found out that John lost his powers, chances are they'll go back to beating him up because, as Syndrome from the Incredibles said, they only respect him because he's a threat.
I agree with alot of the things you said, however it was mentioned that there are professional tournaments where people are allowed to use their powers. I'll be damned if I can find the chapter it's mentioned in, though.
Wow, someone with an actually good critique. I am basically reading the comic again because I left it around 200 episodes last time. But yeah the whole bullying thing got old so fast. So it triggered me when Remi was ignorant of all the bullying going around in her school. Like, whenever they show the school hallway, there is a fight. How can something like that be ignored? You can say, she used to ignore such things. But she had a revelation when she saved that small town( Brennish I think). So why was she still ignorant of what was happening around her, till John mentioned it? The Brennish thing happened like 50 episodes prior to her confrontation with John. So it makes you wonder how she failed to grasp what's going on around her, after that incident
As someone who read this, stopped for a while because of pacing issues, then picked it up again - the story gets better. Character development actually happens, and they get humanized in a refreshing way despite their powers. It's not a black-and-white world where it's easy to just deem an unlikable character evil. Heck, I even spent money to Fast Pass because I can't get enough of it right now, man.
I really liked season one. I liked how it tackled a lot of it's themes, and while I do agree with there being a pacing issue, that doesn't mean it's awful. The art get really good as well. I like the world it's made and the characters that inhabit it. I should probably read what we have of Season 2...
i still read unordinary and it is actually fire ngl! the story takes forever to develop i will not lie about that but it does improve a lot! i would recommend to keep reading it but right now are are 300 episodes up so far and i will not risk the safety of your guys’s mental health lollllll
I read weekly until like chapter 200 or something and it so dragged out it is literally painful to read, entire chapters of filler/nothing happening and half the time when the plot does advance it is just characters acting in the most irrational way possible. Unordinary fans always say "it's a slow burn bro" but it isn't, it's a slow bore. The character writing is hamfisted and barely coherent at times, the art is mediocre, the worldbuilding is bafflingly shallow and incompetent, the pacing is glacially slow. I don't think I've ever read another piece of media where the author takes so much time to say nothing at all.
If the webtoon was like 1/3 of the size it might be an entertaining read, but as it is it is just tiring waiting week after week for a literal crumb of content that actually matters to the grander narrative. I say this as someone who has been reading weekly chapters of manga/webcomics for a long ass time. It is genuinely baffling to me that people still read this boring ass comic when some of the chapters are literally insulting to the reader in their banality.
I just skipped john’s king arc tbh
@@jimjimson6208I don't like the long spaces of white panel, which is probably there to signify the passing of time, but I really just see it as a way to artificially increase the length of the episode. Aaaand the fact that one episode has so little content... (Insert letter spam here)
When I first found that comic I skipped to season 2 lol
Definitely not worse than one piece when it comes to pacing but yes😂
You don't even need spicy sauce to be so hot Chalupa 😍🤩💖
Ngl as much as I love unordinary, I know damn well how ordinary the whole webtoon is, 🤣😂 what's even more funny is that the only reason I started reading it is because I saw multiple comments on how john could destroy bam from tower of god and I got seriously curious to see what kind of character they are comparing with bam and boi I was disappointed lmaoooo but everyone seems to hype them so much that I decided to still read the whole webtoon to see everything else and yeah I came to love it as I continue, but tog still remains top 1 as it is peak fiction itself.
If John could copy his abilities, then yeah...John could destroy him.
@@user-nu3sd7zb2j😂👉🏻
Dude I love unOrdinary, the only reason that I don't call it the best webtoon is because Tower of God and Eleceed exists. But man, there's no way in hell John's beating my main man The 25th Bam.
@@spaceturtle8889 exactly my thoughts! Lmaoo
@@user-nu3sd7zb2jI hate the power scaling but no, coping is not Bam's main ability at all, not to mention that there are things unclear about him including his powers. So saying that John can destroy him is meh.
Unordinary is just My Hero Academia on a budget
I was thinking the SAME thing
lmao this is way too accurate
I'm not a big fan of any of those but how so? The only thing they have in common is superpowers.
The premise of "people are born with powers" isn't the most original thing on the planet, I'd dare say it's probably as basic and unoriginal as it can get lol
I heavily dislikes Unordinary but Society with abilities and discrimination isn't owned by MHA it has existed for a long time, MHA just happened take the media by storm
Budget💀
I really do recommend people to stick with this , although the pacing may slow down a bit at times it’s still a great story that offers a lot, it’s still just as good as it was at the start, also everyone gets character development and we get to learn more about each of them too, plus there are a lot of great fight scenes and team ups throughout the entire series, the plot is also great and some things have finally been revealed and we will get more answers as the story progresses.
Okay, before I start, I will say that I do indeed have a bias. I’ve been reading this webtoon for years, keeping up with almost every update since sometime around 2018.
But I do believe that Unordinary is one of the few hyped up webtoons that can actually back it up, but not for the reason you may think. It’s action is good, but not nearly as good as a lot of other webtoons such as God of Highschool. What makes Unordinary so damn great is it’s characters, and the motivations for them fighting.
I will go ahead and say that it is a s l o w start. In due part, you can notice the story taking a major shift when Uru’s art stops being so damn shiny and takes a bit more of a natural approach with its colors. The main two protagonists, John and Sera, undergo major changes to their character, John especially, because a large portion of his character arc is learning to accept himself( It may not seem like that, but later chapters will make it obvious), and Sera learning to actually help others and not being biased towards weaker people.
It’s not a full 10/10, but damn it can really get there at some points. As I said, the slow pace can really turn some people off if the initial hook may not be interesting, sometimes the characters can make some questionable decisions, and if you aren’t too keen to the anime esc aesthetic, then it may not be for you.
But whether you left and thinking about reading it again, or new and thinking about reading it, I highly recommend it. A great action story with characters that have TRUE depth to them.
I agree, this has a lot of character building and conflict rising. And I really enjoy the character archetypes, I wish to see more of Isen, Blyke, and Remi they're the ones that showed a lot of growth imo.
From where it's at right now it doesn't seem like the end is near, I just wish that uru chan can fasten up the pace a bit because she just uncovered a huge part of this story.
She uncovered the organizations/actual worldly societal flaws, corruption, it expanded so far out from where it was in the beginning it would actually take forever for the story to finish.
I'm not sure if it's possible to send out 2 eps per week, or even just make longer episodes to cover more parts of the lore, that would actually be pretty cool.
But anyway yeah it's still a very enjoyable webtoon, just wish we got more world building episodes.
Unordinary is awesome
as someone who was with unordinary from beginning to end, do you ever get tired of the constant breaks the author takes now a days?
@@steve-zo4bf Sometimes yeah, but I remember the shit that webtoon creators go through and I’m not necessarily mad at them.
It also helps that for the webtoons I really like, I let them build up and then come back them after a couple months and read all the new stuff.
@@steve-zo4bf you know making a comic is hard work right? especially without any backing doing it alone
If you have dropped this webtoon I'm begging you give it a second chance- the story has finally started to get going and it's all about ember and spectre now, and lots of exciting things are happening
Couldn't agree more.
Gonna go back and read it again
“The story has finally started to get going”
This webtoon has been going on for 7 years…
@@nixxdra its still good tho
@@nixxdra Yo ive been reading for like 5 years just binge reading whenever I remember about it existing after a couple of months but I can confidentially say all the John character development and past trauma stuff is out of the way and now its literally about spectre and amber and their shady business and the behind of the authorities
This video inspired me to read it and it's fucking incredible actually. I see a lot of people complaining about the pacing and how it wasn't enjoyable but frankly I think that's a them problem. I personally loved it even though I'm not a big fan of slow burn because it REALLY made me feel. I went from loving John to hating him to loving him again and every other character developed in a really realistic and interesting manner. It shows that character development isn't linear. Sometimes you repeat the same mistakes but you've got to learn to forgive yourself and move on. As someone who absolutely detested John in that arc and couldn't justify his actions at all, it's crazy how my feelings have changed. He was traumatized severely and his self-hatred was the root of his problems- he's a flawed protagonist but that's what makes him brilliant. When Sera confronts John at the end of the Joker arc- that was the best payoff possible. Anyway I could go on a 200 page rant about how fucking good it is and if you you don't like it then that's fine and all but don't tell me the plot is generic or shit because it's actually brilliant writing and insanely complex (I say this as a writer who actually hated mha's bad writing and will find faults with almost everything).
...
(Also I am fully prepared to back up every point I've made so again, unless pacing was your only issue then don't try to make up things to be mad at or dislike because that's stupid.)
I dropped Unordinary a while back but watching this video and having you accidentally pointing out the foreshadowing in episode 3 blew my mind
I actually love this webtoon the society is so interesting and the characters have so much depth, it take a while to develop but it's worth it ❤❤
I love how he casually brushes off nerd boy turn invisible and its literally like one of the main points in the plot of he whole series
Unordinary is actually really good in my opinion. Better than Mha at least (Still like mha tbh just lost some of its magic). It can get a little slow at times but to be honest the payoff was worth it in my opinion and John is a really great character. Haven't read it in 3 months tho, I tend to read webtoons, catch up, dip for months, than come back when there are 30 more chapters or so so that I can binge than repeat. Also I think reading Lumine could be fun if you're up for it
Still reading it and ngl, it does feel like MHA on "a low budget." Season 1 was good. Season 2 was an "anti-hero" edge lord fest, which attracted controversy and some fans were antagonistic towards the creator. Hope season 3 doesn't turn into something worse
@@kyrohowe3156 Did you say Mha s2 was an edgelord. Did you watch the show? Or did I misinterpret what you said. Besides I think Unordinary is better than Mha at actual world building and letting us know the values and thought process which this society runs on and the consequences for stepping outta that norm. It shows very well that the strong prey on the weak and that the weak prey on those weaker than them. So for those at the bottom like John and *Redacted* (You know who I'm referring to) life is truly hell. It even shows how the hierarchy works and what happens to those who fall from grace. Along with the suppressed feelings of the weak.
@Segun Olopade no I said Unordinary season 2 is an edge lord fest. I was referring to the webcomic, in comparison of the MHA anime/manga. Please read my comment again before you assume. (due to my experience of people attacking me before understanding what I'm writing) Yes, I have watched the anime as I'm on season 6
Hell to the no Unordinary isn't better than MHA. People downplay MHA so bad and as a fan of the manga it's saddening. The art and emotion and shiguraki as a Villian is AMAZING. MHA is in another league compared to this.
No mha a professional show is better than a webcomic made by some random person who flopped after season 1 💀 (not a fan of either one mha still sucks dogwater compared to other shows/manga)
Nah UnOrdinary is peak asf and I'm dead certain most criticisms of pacing come from trying to keep up with it week to week.
I beg anyone who reads this to check it out now that season 2 just wrapped up. There's a lot to sink your teeth into
About 5 minutes ago I watched a video about John vs mha and im pretty sure I lost some brain cells in the process
This webtoon was pretty hype up until Seraphina lost her powers and John started being a lil shit. After that the plot became so slow and sluggish that I swear in like 2 years of reading maybe 3 important things happened.
Dude I agree. Literally when Sera lost her powers, and them not returning, them coming back weaker, like damn just restore her powers man. 😂😭😭
@freerobux49Frankly that just means the story was shit from.the get go
His Dad died.😅
@freerobux49 hey man I just started rereading it
And I'm going to be completely honest the start of season 2 was way too slow to a point where I would quite literally skip five chapters and it's pretty much stay on the same plot point then skip another five chapters for it to be the same thing
It really felt like the dress Rosa Arc in one piece
Chalupa please make a video of night owls and summer skies I'm begging you
UnOrdinary is fine. Sadly it falls into the pool of seeming more mid as you wait each week. Could you imagine Harry Potter but each chapter is 1/4 as long, its drawn, has random breaks, and even one season(book) takes like a year and a half to come out? it wouldnt be half as popular
webtoon is not made to support stories that take forever. this includes me, as i took a long break after season 2 began, completely reread it like a year later, and i straight havnt touched the story in months
not because its bad, but because of the formula of waiting
Okay but to fight Doomsday and comeback still breathing (albeit in a coma) is a feat on itself.
unordinary is peak. If you say anything bad about your ip shall be found, your family shall be found, your job shall be found, your dog shall be found, we will know....... anyways good video
unordinary is ass. The only reason why it used to be good is bc the main character is weak but then season 2 takes that away and turns out he’s the strongest in the universe.
@@pUbErtYy_49 Ehh, not really. The whole point of UnOrdinary is to deconstruct the concept of a superpoweref sociaty, and how shitty it would be. John's struggles with his ability are a great catalist to show each side of the spectrum when it comes to ability levels. Its also a story about corruption, which is seen in EMBER, the athorities, and SPECTRE.
Unordinary? More like bad webtoon 😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜
@@Chalupa_bruh well that was lazy as hell. My guy, you could 100% come up with something better than that.
Classic Chalupa W 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
My Hero Academia has a problem with the pacing being too fast
Unordinary has a problem with the pacing being too slow
MHA's pacing is too fast? Did you even watch the Sports Festival arc?
I sure didn't. I got bored halfway in.
@@ms.moronic9165 Literally everything from S1 to S6 takes place in one year, which makes no sense at all, they should have been 3rd years by now

@@shycho1690 so your telling me in ONE YEAR the main characters nearly died about 20 times when they're supposed to be learning in school 😂
@@Jaey33 yeah, they actually had to buff Class 1B through the roof with the whole "while you were busy fighting on a real battleground I was studying my quirk at school so we're on the same level!" thingy to compete with 1A, all of them got so much goddamn combat experience, Izuku himself already fought against so many endgame threats and reality warping maniacs, and the other class mates were not far behind, surprised the fight was fair
I think its a bit unfair to call it ordinary only 10 episodes in. The elements that make the story unique come in pretty soon. Anyways nice editing👍
every webtoon is just a Wattpad that's a comic
There’s some real good ones tho
True😂
But there are some amazing hidden gems
@@dasolaj9572 got some recs?
@@xivering here’s some of my faves
Uriah - a dark, twisted story with ppl who really need therapy
City of blank - the art is amazing and the whole story concept and world is quite unique
Purple Hyacinth- it is a bit of a basic mystery but the art, characters and the MUSIC!!! adds charm to it
Surviving Romance- an isekia romance turned horror where the mc must navigate through a story she’s in and how to set the plot back on track
Cursed Princess Club - this one’s already pretty popular with well known themes but how it handles them is amazing, also very funny and fun
Like Wind on a Dry branch- A cup of fantasy, mixed with a romance with a male interest that screams best ML ever to me, I dunno how to put any other way, I just love him😂
Urban animal - a boy who was normal until he wasn’t and has an ancient magical beast as his past life. And he’s being hunted for it👍🏽

Hope u like these, and it’s mandatory to like PH, it just is
@@xivering I recommend the "greatest estate developer" cuz it's funny
it's about a guy who gets isekaid into some story he was reading but tries to use the powers of capitalism and shovels to become rich

wtf she has great writing, did u drop it around ch 200 because that will make a lot of sense
Where's the romance webtoon ⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 make another part on Boyfriends 😸😸😸😸😸😸😸 (I want Chalupa to be in agonizing pain)
If I have to read it, so do you 😾😾😾😾😾😾😾
You don't gotta make another part anymore ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
TBH the only literal 4/10 time for this manga is when it starts to drag on the "Evil John arc" and each chapter starts to look like "Hey John is really rude, he screams at someone and does something stupid" for a longer time until SeraVSJohn fight. But overall i would say this Webtoon is 7/10, the world is pretty janky i'll agree but i dont have a problem to the pace right now and i just find it enjoyable to read.
This is still my favorite webtoon, huge fan of superheroes and secrets/hidden identities so this is great for me. Especially since I’ve re-read it so many times I can skip the boring filler lol
UnOrdinary is one of those stories that you have to read past the first season to really understand what it’s about. There’s more depth to the story than first impressions meet the eye. I admit at first it was just an ordinary Webtoon until the story began progressing and season 2 came around with the biggest plot twists ever. Definitely think you should give it another go
Ikr!!! I'm a really big fan so I'm glad there are people who agree. This is really a story where you have to be patient but the payoff is amazing every time.
@@NaN-wx9ss ya everyone hating on something without really giving it a chance. I recently re read the joker arc and it was actually really good, everyone hated on it because they were reading weekly
i think its pretty good. Theres a lot of character development in John and Asslo. Im gonna continue reading it and see how it ends.
2:55 yeah the kid getting bullied... lets just say there's a very satisfying scene involving him and a person who controls water.
unordinary is basically a solid series, similar to my hero academia. nothing crazy, pretty generic, its just okay overall. it may be a bit overhype but ig thats bc how passionate the community is. webtoon also kinda sucks now, not the stories but the app itself and how it functions, back then i didnt need to pay in order to read an already finished story. the only reason why i still have webtoon is bc of tower of god, i still like the story and i want to support the author (siu).
"No amount of indomitable spirit will save the day!"
*Happy music from an ad starts up*
There are some pacing issues true but it is actually a nice read. Characters are nice and there are many mysteries waiting to be solved. I was struggling to read it trough the arc where John was beating everyone but once past that part it gets rly good.
I’d actually recommend people to read it to learn from John’s arc.
I believe that it’s a prime example of what not to do.
*Spoilers*
Sure, making your MC beat up every single bully is cathartic to our monkey brain, but it’s not what the story needed.
In writing, obstacles are what keeps the story going.
Having the underdog character suddenly be overpowered is like trying to climb a mountain, looking left, and finding out there was an escalator the whole time. But the whole point of climbing the mountain is to get stronger so that escalator defeats the purpose of mountain climbing in the first place.
Also keep the villain arc going for too long and people will start to hate the character.
i think id have to disagree- the intrigue about john isn't that he's overpowered and can beat up the characters you don't like, it's about how he and the system fail to process the trauma he has in a healthy way and he relapses. he's overly powerful because it benefits the story, he's way too powerful for a person so mentally broken and the systems in place in their incredibly corrupt society only serve to make people like him worse. he's supposed to be the example of what happens when the biases in this society are left unchecked (he grows up without a power, so when he ends up overpowered he gets drunk off it and hurts a lot of people yada yada). the characters are supposed to be a bit unlikeable because they're high tiers and examples of how this society would condition you to think, and they have to learn and grow and change and john beating them down isn't supposed to be a triumph but meant to make you realize how fucked up their world is since you can sort of see it from both perspectives if that makes sense. the obstacle is johns failure to recognize that he needs to process his trauma in order to grow and recognize that people arent all monsters (which, it makes some sense he thinks that way after...everhthing hes been through with the other students authorities etc). that's really long idk if it's just word vomit but it's my thoughts on it
I feel like they made johns comeback too quick although how they went about showing johns remorse and trauma was good
I disagree I think this was actually a clever way to write a traumatised character as people with flashbacks can be violent and think the word is against them and out to get them and that everyone is betraying them.
Honestly his whole arc hit far too close to home.
Imo good writing
Tbh, I think that this trope/pacing COULD work IF (and this is just my opinion) :
1. John didn't become such a lil shit 💀
2. The story wasn't hyped to be no power dude vs these powerful dudes (basically an underdog story like weak hero, lookism, viral hit etc)
3. Or if John REALLY has to be a villain, don't make that plot too long/overbearing (like you said). Give chances for his old kinder self to breath between his evil moments.
There's probably more ways to make this plot better but It's been a while since I last read the webtoon so these are just based on my memory.
Tldr this could work if the pacing and choices made in the story are done a little better :)
Although I do heard John became better as of now so I'll try to check that out soon ^^
You clearly missed the whole point of Johns arc, you’re not supposed to root for him, the arc isn’t meant for us to love him, we’re supposed to dislike him, but we’re supposed to understand why he’s the way he is, his trauma that he was put through is fucking insane
Personally I absolutely *love* this Webtoon. Especially the first few arcs - in my opinion the most engaging stories r those with a big secret that you’re on the edge of ur seat waiting for the other characters to discover. & idk its just an intriguing world 😆🤷♀️ I respect criticisms of the comic but personally I just love almost every aspect
So I started reading it.
I got f*cking addicted to it and now I am simply unable to read physical books before I finish this sh*t.
I mean, like it's so bad that I can't even read House of Hades by Rick Riordan! I have to return it to the library this saturday! And I LOVE Riordan's books!
I blame you for this. :)
Have you caught up? Is it worth it
bro read the next 200 chapters and you will absolutely fucking hate this
PLOT TWIST JOHN HAS POWERS AND BEATS EVERYONE IN THE SCHOOL TO THE BRINK OF DEATH
I mean... that's not too far from the truth lol
I would love to see you make videos for Eleceed and How to Become a Dragon. They are actually pretty well written, but also goofy enough to make for good content!
Ooh I love eleceed
Unordinary is like one of those brutal Korean "bully" comics mixed with my hero academia. I still remember how MID it was.
I used to read this a few years back, and I actually really liked it, but it eventually got to the point where I just couldn’t stand it anymore. John became a superpowered edge lord, there was some weird side plots going on with the other characters that I honestly couldn’t care less about, and the comments… I swear, John could kill an entire family and the comments would still defend him. I’ve never seen a more toxic comment section. Maybe I’ll revisit it someday, though.
I know he was sarcastic throughout 90% of this but I just enjoyed hearing the beginning of the story again
i used to really enjoy this webtoon but ended up dropping it around episode 200 since it was dragging so much and the story got so convoluted. it’s better than a lot of webtoons but not by much
UnOrdinary was the first comic I had ever read, so, it still does have a special place in my heart, and the characters are pretty well developed compared to other stories, but yeah, the basis that the story had set was quite, well, ordinary. Basic, if you will. Still, it got me into comics, which is now my main source of entertainment, so I can never hate it.
Overall, 6/10
No cause I think unOrdinary is kinda cool-
Same, this video terrified me when it got on my reccomended
Cool 😎😎😎😎😎
We all have our opinions. What matters is that you like it
*A few spoilers here and there
I honestly find it pretty good, the story is basic but I’m just low-key a sucker for power tussle and prosecution plots either ways😂 and I find myself rooting for John as he overcomes his past mistakes, accepts his power and better himself. It’s shown to be difficult, infuriating and there are realistic setbacks, and it’s not every fiction u see authentic character development and redemption like that. I will agree it’s so slow paced, especially when John was going berserk, like why drag it on to false jokers and him just terrorising the safe house 💀 and now I don’t understand y we’re going back to remi, isen and blyke’s vigilante spree🙄
But overall it’s good, I kinda enjoy like I enjoy MHA, it’s nothing new but has interesting enough characters and plot to keep me going, a solid 7/10 for me👍🏽
Honestly I always found the trio’s vigilante sprees to be a bit boring so hopefully it’s short or at least interesting this time. Maybe I’m just biased for the Sera and John content tho 💀
yk, I used to love this webtoon so, so much. was on the amino, watched the creator do interviews on yt, etc. after the 1st season ended I noticed that arcs would drag on for so long-even more so than the previous season which was still passable and fun. chapters started feeling like nothing burgers with theories and stuff introduced but nothing truly happening or it'd take a long time for it to, killing the hype. I haven't read since the field trip arc and don't know when I'll pick it back up:/
"oh goodie, finally a review of this series!"
>9 and a half minutes of plot summary
ah...
Unordinary is still one of favs and I would recommend it, the story line is good except it's slow-paced. Art, well I mean it's not always about art and is decent.
The one thing I learned from this webtoon is "One haircut makes a world of difference"
Funny enough, my favorite Webtoon is called “Surviving Romance”
It’s a horror Webtoon about a girl who got to be the main character in her favorite book and she knows each step that the MC takes to get her happy ending with the love interest of the story (who I forgor the name of 💀), whoever are extras and aren’t central to the story are completely faceless and unrecognizable because the MC just sees them as the NPCs
When her happy ending comes though, turns out that her husbando turned into a zombie and bit her hand, then she wakes up in her bed (yup, we’ve got a Groundhog Day situation!) and that’s the first episode
She keeps dying no matter what she does (staying at home, going to different places of the school, and even saving her husbando kills her)
I really recommend reading this webcomic, it’s first season is really good (though it gets pretty slow in the middle and I still hate love triangles, so I wasn’t excited for the second love interest and despised the [little spoiler here] yandere girl extra that’s revealed in the middle-but the MC turns into a badass that eventually doesn’t care about any romance anymore)
NEVER DROP THIS, the main character has a ability that's mistaken as a copycat ability, but as of the time of writing this he has grown so he doesn't need a sample and is going to the good side
unOrdinary is really good I read it like two years ago and John made me SO MAD! I read it again and FREAKING LOVE IT MORE NOW!🥰
This is my favorite webtoon! It's so good, and it keeps getting better as it goes
Same!!! But this was the video that got me to check it out and fall in love with so at least that's one good thing about it lol (still hate how much people hate on it for no reason).
Each chapter takes 4 minutes at most to read, why y’all complaining about the beginning being slow?
This manhwa is an addiction for me. i get angry,sad,happy at the same episodes. This is the same kind of reality if human get superpower.
I wonder how it would have been if uru kept John powerless. It was her initial idea, but she quickly scraped it in the first few episodes. I think it would have been pretty cool, we don’t need an emo mc with brooding powers to be good but I mean, I still like John either way soo….
@freerobux49exactly
I love this Webtoon!! John is a genuinely well written character with tons of development, and seeing his growth and progress throughout the series makes him feel like a real person struggling with real problems. Also, the world and politics in this webtoon are very well developed. Anyone who dropped this toward the beginning or are thinking about starting it for the first time 100% should!!
I have a list of webtoons you can read!
URIAH, Omniscient Reader, Jackson's Diary, Out of sight Out of body, The Wrath and the Dawn, Mystic Prince, Castle Swimmer, Be My Villain, Heir's Game, Eleceed, The Prince of Southland, BlackSun, The Producer's Second Life, The World After the Fall, Miracle Simulator, Love Advice from the Great Duke of hell!
All of these are good :)
@@anapple6912 I've only read 2 of these but Jackson's diary gets kind of gay. I personally don't like reading bl, so I kind of stray away from those stories.
I'ts so weird seeing the early chapters of John compared to what he is now ( Mr.idgaf himself)
This is like the second webtoon that I read, used to like it but then bam, just dropped it because I felt like things are all over the place. If you want a good romance webtoon I suggest "Miss Abbott and the Doctor" best romance ive ever read, miscommunications gets solved easily and it's not frustrating to read!
It's interesring until John takes on the whole school
Still one of my favorite webtoons
Reading just to episode 10 is like only watching Invincible episode 1 partly through right before the big plot twist ending.
This shit goes bonkers and brutal later.
The "powerless" protagonist got the super power therapy equivalent of Alan Turing's medical treatment.
Shit gets fucked up.
“Unless it’s good” I doubt it.
Kinda funny how when everyone became powerless to John they wanna start acting like civil people, but before that it was free game to just be a shitty person.
Nah unordinary slaps tho it starts getting good at the joker arc
Also john isn't a weakling he's just pretending to be he actually has the strongest ability in the entire series (copying and amplifying other people their ability).
For those interested i highly recommend it for it's one of the better shows out there!
The story is good, character buildup is starting to show, the plot is going like a rabbit hole that you just need to know how deep it goes. It keeps me wanting to know whos who and whats what, and what will happen, basically the hook that has me as a story should have. My only peeve is the pacing. I'm a patient guy, so so. But it does feel a little dragging.

this is my guilty pleasure webtoon idc 😭 majority of the pacing issue is due to the weekly release schedule imo (although i do think certain arcs couldve been shorter regardless) but it's so entertaining and the latest eps went super hard
A lot of ppl shit on this but it’s my comfort webtoon
Bro didint even get to the good chapters☠️💀☠️ but ngl the good ones are like starting somewhere at 100 where John hair style changes
I stopped reading when John became an insufferable edgelord
How tf does that even happen? ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
@@Chalupa_bruh he has... issues and past trauma. It would take far to long to explain here.
That’s the best part imo
That's like the worst and best part-
Knew the day would come for this once you came into my reccomended.
Lets go mcchicken!
I recommend these webtoons- greatest estate developer and omniscient reader- a break from the top webtoons 😪😴
i read this up until chapter 300. its starts off strong but it feels random in the later chapters, like she was making it up as she goes
It's a great webtoon if you're patient or have too much time on your hands. Like with a bunch of other webtoons, it has a bit of a when-will-this-end-oh-my-god-why-is-this-taking-so-long-please-end problem. Interesting concept, but could be paced better.
unlike lots of other webtoons though the author for this one takes constant breaks from her work
@@steve-zo4bf 😱You mean artists are not slaves for your entertainment and have a life outside of your control?
@@matth2283 i just think its kinda crazy that they can't stick to an upload schedule
I forgot how slow the story progresses at the beginning, but there's some interesting foreshadowing in those first few chapters
I'd say UnOrdinary is the kind of story that does many things good, which makes it so hyped up by the fanbase, yet at the same time it makes also many things bad.
So it's basically a series of highs and lows. Except that, while some highs are pretty high, most of them fail to outbear the lows.
To be honest I still think this webtoon is worth checking out. Especially if you're tired of the superhero genre (cough MHA cough), then I'd say this webtoon gives a breath of fresh air on that one.
Worldbuilding's also pretty good. Plot is a bit gripping, even if it drops down lots of times. There's lots of foreshadowing, so if you're the type of person that likes to pick up on clues and gets the sense of excitment when it turns out to be right, you also may enjoy this.
The only thing I can fully say is meh about this webtoon are 99% of characters. The author does a lot of hinting towards a character development for each of the major ones, so you anticipate it, yet when it finally happens most of the time you're like "...that's it?".
Anyways, tho it makes for a good title, I wouldn't call it just Ordinary.
I’m only one minute in, but that made me realize.. I haven’t seen a teacher in this school since the first chapter. The nurse was really breaking his back being the only sensible authorities figure, and now he’s GONE 😭❓
As someone who is ordinary, this offends me
