heck. suddenly i remembered the giga nonsense anime adaptation "Black rock shooter"
Heck they tried to go full dark edgy emo stuff (the painting thing was looneytoons scarring stuff lvl)
when they could have simply hired a 9y/o to direct it and go "girl go boom, enter another dimension and kill stuff, win, and come back, yeeeeeee!"
I mean SciADV isn’t adverse to being dark, but there is a difference between being dark and being edgy, and there is a difference between being edgy and trying so hard to be so that you are goofy. Think Steins; Gate where it was slightly edgy after the twist, but not goofy like that.

its goofy edgy / cringe, bc it doesnt make sense, and "edgy for the sake of edgy"
Like a shooter killing people for no reason isnt edgy, but a man killing sniping people for revenge while taking deadly poison to slowdown his illness is badass edgy.
That is why i dislike ReverendInsanity (no hate)
bc its edgy for sake of edginess.
I mean. The mc's goal, is just "immortality".
And ?
After that? Nothing ?
It looks like a guy trying to get revenge that will turn empty after he finish his goal.
@Tsuruya I don’t really want to spoil anything more about the scene, so the most I can say is that the boxes in the background of the image are full of body parts.
Meanwhile HSHusband (gosh i wish the author didnt write this title like a shoujo series)
the mc is like fang yuan = everything goes, as long it works. Do anything for its goals.
But its reason is valid.
Which is, he simply wanted to have someone that love him. (bc past life didnt get that, despite all achievements)
which is similar to Estate manhwa, that they hide their fragility behind "walls" (like me)
MC the fact he suffer and near goes bonker, is edgy in a good way.
Bc its understandable, make sense, and easy to relate.
> Trying to save a girl but failing no matter what (heart attack even)
In fact. Its like what i said before in "writing tips". Somewhere, maybe.
The more you try to add stuff the more it will look unatural, so its better to simply just imagine MC do its own thing, its own life.
Agreed, there are times when edge can enhance a scene and ones where it looks like the guy is unintentionally posing for a selfie next to a dismembered body while trying to look threatening with a knife.

also its nice negative example on how to NOT write a mc that act lowkey/hide identity (its like the masochist urban cultivator "they just flies" but let his enemies taunt him for 1hour)
Spoiler : MC's murder personality (cringe idea that its incontrolled) pop up, prey in front
"How should i kill you? there ? there ? or there? or maybe there? oh no maybe there? Ooooooh i see so many ways to kill you"
STFU AND DO IT !!!!!!!!
> He didnt.
I am forgetting the title but the edgiest thing I red was that one manhwa or WebComic, can’t remember which, where the MC is kidnapped by a Yandere guy and gets Stockholm Syndrome
Oh, and there is a bully, the evil kind that takes money, bodydmg, and even want to kill others
and somehow this dude isnt killed by MC. And is staying around the main cast.
Author trying to do (worse) bakugou trope where there is this arrogant asshole staying around and insulting MC despite getting his ass kicked.
ps : this series is a good way to torture others (gift)
