My life as a loser is the best PTJ webtoon A.K.A Why you should read it (tldr at the end)
and you can't change my mind. Everything about my life as a loser (imma call it MLAL) is just perfect to me, from the setting, the characters and the pacing. Especially the pacing.
One thing I've noticed in recent years, is that animes and manga now tends to be shorter to have a more satisfying story/better animation (Mob Psycho 100, Uramichi onii-san, Chainsawman (part 1 at least)) And I got the exact same feeling for MLAL, shorter than Lookism or Viral Hit (which imo should have ended after Jinho defeat but whatever) but more satisfying.
Ancheol as a prota is great, his personnality is really fun to read and his character developpement is just as interesting, although subtle
Jinu while being kind of a set character, it's easy to feel sympathy towards him. The last arc legit made me tear up, and it definitely shows just why he hates Ancheol so much
Dabin and Jinsol, while love interests doesn't overstay their welcome (hello Bomi) and aren't completely boring or reduced to be just love interest (hey Zoe, Mira and Yui. God the girls in Lookism really sucks huh). They def follow the typical ptj female character sheets, but still, they are so much better than Bomi or Zoe
The cast is small enough to have all characters their moments to shine and develop but not too small to have the webtoon have a claustrophobic feeling (idk if it's just me but I often have this feeling when reading some webtoon/manga)
And the best thing ! is ! that ! it is over ! It is finished ! No cliffhanger ! You can read through it all and not feel unsatisfied ! Although apparently we are going to have a season 2 so i'm starting to sweat over here. Let's hope it keeps the same kind of story but with new characters...
tldr ; You should watch My life as a loser because
-The characters are great, the cast isn't too small or big
-The female characters are actually good
-The story doesn't go sideways
-The mix of comedy and drama is great
-It's finished so you don't have to worry about cliffhanger or waiting
