Summary
A brief description of the manga I Used to Be a Boss:
Baphomet, the boss of the [Tower of Abyss], waits for a strong hunter who is able to fight on equal grounds against him. When he had grown bored of the repetitive battles, he began to gain interest in the world of humanity due to the trophies he had obtained from the dead hunters. At the same time, he became further entranced by the existence of humans when the strong hunter he had always wished for appeared before him. Ultimately, Baphomet tries to become a human himself…

44th Official manhwa Review
Plot 8.5/10 (pretty normal, get strong go brrr)
Uniqueness 8.9/10 (generic idea with different spins)
Onion Cutting Ninja, not really everything is deserved
Character Development 8.2/10 (slow but with more chapters should get much better)
Plot Development 8.1/10 (Started strong-weak to then sorta strong, assuming much greater threats than S ranks and Mythic towers)
Side Characters, pretty reasonable
Romance, its possible in the future with either System or one of the two gals
Art Style, 7.6/10 acceptable
Fit tags? Tragedy or Maybe Supernatural?
Violence, YESSSSSS BLOOODDDDDD
Comedy, it has some moments
MC 7/10 pretty standard MC
Action, super hyper action pacted
Adorable Creatures, THEY APPEAR GUYS
Villains, disgusting, hate able, need to die asap
Plot Armor, reasonable, He is not just straight up broken, but also still struggles in combat.
Memorability 7.8/10
Fights, Reasonable, but they also skip some fights sometimes
Backstory, hyper depressing and actual really messed up if you think about what he had to go through to get where he was.
Possession? you will understand at some point
Anti-hero? fits the description pretty reasonable
Revenge plot? no? maybe?
Waifus, we have options just depends on if our MC is too dense (bros not normal obviously we going give him slack since he has no idea what love even is)
Background art, fine
Character Art style, could be a little better but fine
Translation, Acceptable
Mistakes, very few from what I saw
How dark is it? Pretty dark tbh
Annoying characters, most of the villians are super just extra annoying for some reason
tips: none this time around
Pacing, acceptable for now
MC intellectual, he is not like Lelouch or Zhou Fan, but he isn’t dumb whatsoever
Approximate read time, No lifers 1-3 days, lifers 1 week- 1.5 week
Chapter finished at-65
Final Ranking 8.3/10 Tier System B
Bookmarked, Yes
Need to read? Depends on the person
Cya in the next one folks
(shameless plug-in)
I have an insta with all my reviews compiled in one place (themanhwawatcher77)
Just a dumb question is there romance in this manhwa ? Just a little ?
overrated
Absolutely amazing story, most unique shit to come from this genre in forever ☠️
Only bad thing I have to say about this is that the artsyle is really bland
Solo leveling vibes 🥶
real
Gonna wait till there are 50+ chapter so I can enjoy this manhwa with amazing rate and praise from all the readers.
its good
mc boutta f*ck up their entire life
nice chapter nice revenge
Love the originality can’t wait to see how this series progresses
8.3/10
Read: 12/?
“Ah here we go again, a highly rated manwha on mangaread, can’t wait to be disappointed about my fellow reader’s taste;” at least, those were me initial thoughts. But after reading it, I can only describe it as interesting. It’s not boring nor “fun” since the mc does not go around Willy nilly, flexing his protagonist powers. He faces the constant realization that he is merely a fragment compared to his former self. It’s not like any other system manwhas either, where the mc is talented and speed runs gates, waifus, and God himself. Instead, those chapters were used for world-building and character development. Yet, the author seems to know that his reader’s attention span will dwindle incrementally with each chapter the mc isn’t getting stronger. I wish I know what the mc will do in the future, but I guess that is what good writing is — The ability to make the readers eager for the next chapter. I’m looking forward to reading more of this and a part of me feels like this is a premature review where the actual score, in the future, should be higher than the one I’m giving it now. Either way, Enjoy!
