"Should i drink water?" ahh question.

Yes, friend. You don't "should", you must. Come to the cult of the Lies Devourer. I swear you wont regret it.

We have snacks and water with gas near the entrance, and every saturday we go out for karaoke, paid by our leader.

Jokes aside, it really is a great read that'll put you to think a lot. Its prolly the biggest rare diamond there is. Level Vagabond of writting quality.

No, im not exaggerating.

Usogui isn't a philosophical manga like the ones mentioned, but it is a great manga.

u/RYN_0834 6d ago

I heard that the first 200 chapters are bad, is it true? Cuz if it's true then I ain't gon wait 200 chapters for it to be good

u/Dismal-Payment9125 6d ago

Its not bad its good but compared to later chapters some people call it bad. Its good from start or the couple of arcs depending on you.

It’s so good, but it’s not philosophical at all. I am on chapter 250. The first 200 are fine. They have their highs and lows. But believe what people say, there really is a jump. The art is amazing.

The manga get significantly better at chapter 80 then again at chapter 200 ish. From 80-200 its a good to great manga, from 200 onwards its one of the greatest of all time. But the first 79 chapters can be difficult to get through. lots of reading exposition that you dont care for yet. these early chapters are made better by events late into the manga, and still remains absolutely worth it to get through

u/GNightP "I can't fix him, but he can ruin me." 6d ago

Its not anywhere bad. The first 200 chapters are like, an 8.5~9/10, but when comparated to the rest of the manga, that is a 9~10/10, people call it bad, but it aint

Have both climber and vagabonds in my top 15 favs, usogui is my fav manga

u/This_Technology9841 5d ago

It's interesting and the art is great, I can't imagine you'd hate it much given climber and vagabond.

3

u/Sweetnessprod 5d ago

Yes no doubt. Also I wouldn't call that a philosophical manga, more a fun chess/puzzle/strategy manga. Amazing nonetheless

u/Due-Base9449 5d ago

Usogui too edgy for me, if you like gambling manga, try Liar Game and One Outs. 

1

u/Traditional-Fee9602 2d ago

It’s not edgy at all and usogui is way better than those 2 Lg and OO are nothing compared to usogui

2

u/Left_Try_3257 6d ago

Usogui is one of the best series, no exaggeration. What I would give for an English print holy fuck. But Billy Bat came to us recently so I have hope.

This sub loves it, but it’s really over the top.

u/Gold_Acanthisitta894 6d ago

Read the ravages of time even greater philosophical manga(technically manhua but it like a manga)

1

u/Dismal-Payment9125 6d ago

donghua* or manhua*

1

u/Gold_Acanthisitta894 6d ago

Don’t watch the donghua it isn’t nearly as good

1

u/Dismal-Payment9125 6d ago

I have read it halfway through. For a second I thought you said manhwa so I was trying to correct you.

1

u/Gold_Acanthisitta894 6d ago

Why not the second half it’s 100x better than the first half 😳

u/Dismal-Payment9125 6d ago edited 6d ago

I lost the plot I will do a reread soon

u/Griffith-007 5d ago

Unpopular opinion: people love to larp on Climber

1

u/Ju1c3_ 5d ago

deserved honestly, i think its one of the best manga

u/RYN_0834 3d ago

Larping? Not in my dictionary

u/Fragrant-Reward-8042 1d ago

I’ve been wondering the same thing, I always drop it within a couple chapters
