A Decade-Long Bookworm Recommends Well-Written, Creative Ultraman Stories
These past two years, excellent Ultraman stories have been popping up one after another, which makes me very happy (❁´ω`❁). When I was little, I watched Ultraman mainly for those three-minute transformation scenes. Now that I'm older, I'm drawn instead to how the stories make us reflect on war and peace, justice, humanity, nature, and other such questions. Some people think Ultraman is just for kids, but I don't agree. At least for me, that couldn't be further from the truth. It helped me throug
Everyday Life, Fun, and Ensemble Casts
I’m collecting books I’ve read and enjoyed. If you ask me, “Wasn’t this one bad, too?” all I can say is that I thought it was pretty good at the time. Whether it’s still good later on isn’t my responsibility.
A Bit of Everything: For My Own Use After 10 Years of Reading
I've been reading web novels for ten years. My tastes have shifted from beginner-friendly stories to overpowered heroes, folklore, dark crime-solving, lighthearted stories, and subversion of tropes. I've now reached the stage where I'll read anything, regardless of genre. This list has a bit of everything, so help yourselves.
No Female Lead, Cthulhu, Infinite Worlds, Roleplay, Behind-the-Scenes, Crossover Anime, Fanfiction
Most books have no female lead, though a few suddenly introduce one later on after I've already gotten invested. The characters are all decisive and ruthless. My ideal personality is like Bai Ye's. For stories about playing a role, I prefer when the final reveal is that the character is a clone. I don't much like stories where one person plays roles using the same appearance, though I'm fine with someone taking on countless identities. Most behind-the-scenes stories are set in cities experiencin

Seeing the introduction, all I can say is that I'm just a scientist, lacking their (impoverished) strength.
By the way, which Ultraman do you all like? I like Ultraman Tiga and Ultra Seven!
No mole! Let's have some Ultraman jokes.
The idea of Ultraman as a race is getting more and more outrageous. Think about it... You were born as an Ultraman in a certain year. As a newborn, your talent was only average among your race, yet it surpassed 99.9% Of life in the universe. You were born with the ability to absorb light to strengthen yourself, a slow but seemingly limitless process.
The new Ultraman feels more normal. It's ridiculous that a top-tier race like Ultraman would have a light on its chest indicating whether it has enough energy.
When I was little, I was naive and gave all the light to Ultraman Tiga. This has led to a bleak future for them. 🙄
This is the coolest, Nexus! I'd vote for it no matter what. The transformation device is awesome, and it even has its own personal spaceship. The only downside is that it's deadly. 😏😏😏
After watching it, I'm honestly a bit disappointed. The main issue is that the villains in this installment are all too comedic. Ultraman is one of the face of tokusatsu, and villains have always been its essence, like Nonmart for Seven. But in this series, the villains are almost all the same—a stereotypical kneeling comedic character. Even the final boss lacks any sense of intimidation.
It's already become a formulaic story: a major event occurs → Ultraman is called → American-style shock, existential doubt arises → easily resolved. What keeps my current predictions going is: when will the protagonist summon reinforcements? First, a massive Ultraman display shocks everyone, with the Ultraman gang appearing en masse to wipe out the monsters.
Hopefully, it won't be like Marvel's Giants of Light and Batman at the beginning, where it went on and on with excessive padding in the middle, sometimes with an entire chapter's plot not progressing at all, no character development, and the protagonist just standing there making a bunch of silly, tired jokes.
