It seems the protagonist, Cha Hyukkyu, in The Iron-Blooded Necromancer Has Returned, has been on a single-minded quest for revenge over the course of 27 chapters so far.
However, his journey feels stagnant – while he wields fearsome power, he has only confronted insignificant opponents up to this point. That is the reason why fans are anticipating the release date of the next The Iron-Blooded Necromancer Has Returned Chapter 28.
Readers may be growing impatient, as neither the scope of the revenge plot nor Cha Hyukkyu’s capabilities have really been explored in depth yet. Meanwhile, the brevity of Chapter 28 provides little meaningful development.
Flaws seem to exist in both the visual presentation and narrative elements of the manhwa. The artistic quality is mediocre at best and regressing. Characterization leans heavily on tired tropes like arrogance rather than nuanced traits. Cha Hyukkyu himself lacks a compelling or charismatic design to match his role as an overpowered protagonist.
In summary, The Iron-Blooded Necromancer Has Returned shows promise in its premise but has yet to deliver a properly paced, engaging storyline anchored by multi-dimensional characters and quality artwork. There is room for improvement across multiple fronts if readers’ interest is to be retained moving forward.
Recap and Review
On top of uninspired character writing and artwork, The Iron-Blooded Necromancer Has Returned also lacks meaningful worldbuilding and coherent plotting.
Now, 27 chapters in, very little context has been provided about the magic system or society underlying Cha Hyukkyu’s revenge quest. Important lore details feel glossed over.
Pacing and narrative flow are also issues, with many chapters ending abruptly on cliffhangers. This random start-stop progression disrupts reader engagement.
Furthermore, the chapters themselves feel too brief to allow proper development of the revenge plot or characters.
The quality drop-off has been steep after an initially promising first few chapters. Without taking time to establish details about the world or characters, the breakneck speed of recent chapters has diminished interest and clarity. Both the artwork and storytelling have deteriorated as a result.
Where Cha Hyukkyu’s vengeance will go from here remains to be seen. Hopefully, Chapter 28 and beyond will reinvigorate the series by finally diving deeper into this fantasy manhwa’s backstory and delivering meatier, more polished content. However, significant improvements on multiple fronts are still needed to live up to the early potential.
The chapter opens with Hwang Kyuho having a conversation with Hyung. Hyung inquires about Cha Hyukkyu’s whereabouts, and Kyuho reveals that Hyukkyu is currently fighting followers in the backyard.
When asked why he declined to join the battle, Kyuho states that a “coward” like himself is no match for the battlefield. He heavily relies on stronger members for emotional reassurance in fights.
Hyung then speculates if Kyuho refused so he could assume leadership of the fourth raid squad in the event of Hyukkyu’s death. But Kyuho denies this cold calculus, claiming he isn’t that ruthless.
Kyuho proudly reveals that he previously succeeded in stabbing Kang Min. Despite Min’s hunting mastery, he had a “human reaction” to being shanked. Now, Kyuho vows to similarly stab his elder brother Hyukkyu in the heart.
When Hyung questions how Kyuho can kill the necromancer Hyukkyu, Kyuho brushes off notions of necromancer immortality. He intends to use multiple potions to end Hyukkyu for good.
As chapter 28 has yet to leak early, there are no spoilers to discuss. But we can speculate on what may be in store given the glacial plot progression so far.
Cha Hyukkyu has been built up as an immensely formidable necromancer who could theoretically unleash catastrophe on mankind itself if provoked. However, 27 chapters in, he has only confronted insignificant enemies. This long setup is actually counterproductive for narrative tension.
Once the revenge-driven action finally escalates, where is the suspense when the power levels are so lopsided? It would be like Hyukkyu fighting mere skeletal troops despite his apocalyptic capabilities. The question instead seems to be whether the writer can craft villains and challenges worthy of tangling with such an overpowered protagonist.
Based on Cha Hyukkyu’s emotion-driven modus operandi so far, his strategy essentially amounts to obliterating all obstacles through sheer force if annoyed enough. There appears to be little intricate planning involved in his methods beyond that overwhelming application of power.
