Me when i want to poop but i can't:

Since the Busan arc, Lookism has been predictable and boring. It's incredible how fans are able to know what will happen in the next chapter when what used to characterize Lookism was exactly that appearances can be deceiving, and it would surprise us with something different. Now fans are able to know what will happen in the next chapter because of how predictable it is: exaggerated fights, power-ups in every chapter; first they are losing and then they win, they give some encouraging speech and the friend of the moment gets emotional over it, it's so predictable. It resorts to the reader's pity to keep us hooked, giving us characters that stop being relevant by the next arc and with stories that are way too sad (justice for Jinrang ✊🏻).

Next, my favorite topic. Women, and women in Lookism. I know that since the beginning of the work there haven't been female fighters, other than a few who know how to defend themselves but don't actively participate in fights. Which is disappointing because it's a fighting manhwa, not a psychological one or a shoujo... (in fact, Lookism was once a shoujo XD). At the very least there should be some woman who gets a worthy fight, who is pushed to her limit. Although these are just wishes that will never be fulfilled, because misogynistic prejudices tell us that women don't look very good in the position that men have historically taken, as warriors, leaders, and intellectual geniuses. We don't even have a "female version of Eugene"; is there even a single woman in Lookism who is at least a strategist?

But I know that my opinion doesn't matter, because according to the blindest Lookism fans, Lookism is "peak" and perfect from start to finish. Besides, it's a manhwa aimed at a Korean male audience, two things that I am not. At the end of the day, I'm just a tourist, if i don't like it, i'm invited to leave.

Thanks for reading my lame shit.

Lookism se hizo normie, ahora es otro shonen del montón. Zzz.
