It's funny, though. I'm reading Green Boy as well, which is a boxing manhwa... And the main character just got done getting his butt kicked. Something I've noticed in manhwa, compared to manga, is the protagonists get the crap kicked out of them quite a bit and ways seem to be really weak. Not to mention the plot and character development of the leads always move at a snail's pace. It seems to take a manhwa 50 chapters to accomplish what a manga does in 10.

And I can't stand Im-dal Young. I read some of each of his works and they just turned me off. Especially Freezing... the main guy is weaker than weak and as someone else put it, it's basically torture porn. Not really my thing. The only one I actually enjoyed somewhat was Unbalance x Unbalance, but I didn't like Jin-Ho that much as a romance protagonist.

Aflame Inferno's main is a dick imo. UxU is a much more decent human being.
Freezing, the main guy is the worst wimp I've ever seen in any manhwa. The plot is terrible too. It's too much fan service by letting girls fight each other while they facing alien invasion. I have a mixed opinion about Shion. He's not a retard who once became strong and boasting power like most fighting manga protagonists but he's too much of a peace loving like Kazuya from Freezing. While I don't like a wimp like Shion or Kazuya, I hate the delinquent like those from Veritas that I don' give a damn about their pathetic and worthless lives. Why do people have to invade other's privacy anyway? |

And Shioon's a wimp now cause he has no ki. He wasn't half bad when he had some. And while I can understand why you might dislike people like Gangryoung from Veritas, you can at least say he does what he wants. I like him for that alone.

Kazuya is badass!? Around ch 43-45 and you'll see why he is utterly useless and pathetic despite having great potential... In fact, I even hate the heroine during those chapters. Why didn't she and Kazuya beat the crap out of that bastard of a little bro!? For god's sake! The one from Veritas is even more self-centered than that dude from Aflame Inferno. But I like him more than those two above. |

Damn you guys spoiled 2 of the mangas/manhwas I was reading...
Ah well, life goes on. I'm with Kleeyook though, Kazuya is pretty wimpy, but Gangryoung is the boss of bosses. He almost qualifies as a magnificent bastard out off sheer badassery.

I didn't notice Kang's development since Aflame Inferno was kinda... fan service and the story is kinda confusing.
That dude from Veritas is awesome but can be really annoying sometimes by his aggressive nature, but most of the casts from that series have much worse personality anyway. I've decided not to read Freezing from ch 40-49. I wish the scanlators work from ch 50+ instead. Those chapter are just painful, and to think we'll get struck with it for months. |

I'll always jump at the chance to big it up for mah boi, Gangryong! If Shioon was just even a 1/4 of the bad ass Gang is, Shioon would be alot better than most male leads, thats just how bad ass Gang is still waiting for my Veritas part 2!

Thing about Gangryong is that it does not matter whether he is the weaker or stronger one he refuses to give up its something that rocky in final rocky movie it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done.
Gang is pretty much like this you whip his ass good but he won't stay down only way for him to stay down is crippling him or kill him. Shioon just does not have this
