The Deadly Capabilities of the Wicked Witch and her Soul-Devouring Frog

Once upon a time, in a mysterious, enchanted forest, there lived a wicked witch. This witch was known far and wide for her dark magic and sinister intentions. She had a twisted, crooked nose and wiry, unkempt hair that added to her terrifying appearance. But what truly set her apart from other witches was the soul-eating frog that she always kept by her side. This wicked witch had captured the frog many years ago and had managed to somehow bind it to her through a magical pact. The frog itself was an eerie sight to behold.

He lied to Ning'er and used her as bait, knowing full well that his plan, if successful, would result in her death. The only reason she even survived was because his plan failed. Somehow this is played off as him just being pragmatic. I don't understand why anyone would trust him after seeing that.

35, suddenly acting nicer to every character, turning into a shounen MC--dense to love and reacting more emotionally to most situations, and forgetting or reprioritizing his goals in ways that are completely out of line with his previous character. After reincarnation, he lost his powers and was haunted by his inner demons, which left him no choice but to be a butler of the young lady from a declining family.

The frog itself was an eerie sight to behold. Its green skin glistened in the moonlight, and its eyes were filled with an insatiable hunger. It was said that if the frog were to lay its eyes on a person, it would devour their very soul, leaving nothing but an empty husk behind.

MC is a reincarnator who powers himself up while hatching devilish schemes in order to reach the top. The art is great, the MC is badass, and there are plenty of exciting fights. However, the chapters often feel quite short, which can make waiting for new chapters quite painful. It faithfully adapts the novel, which is complete and an excellent read also.

Unfortunately, the MC takes almost a complete 180° personality shift around ch. 35, suddenly acting nicer to every character, turning into a shounen MC--dense to love and reacting more emotionally to most situations, and forgetting or reprioritizing his goals in ways that are completely out of line with his previous character. Nearly everything becomes dumbed down at this point, losing much of its initial appeal. It was sad to see.

Bad translation, every other sentence there is an error in spelling or context, the main character is portrayed as a genius as well but his actions is that of a dim person.

I know a 9 is too much for this story but the art style the flights scene and the MC character make it worth the read ,I rated it 9 just to make you read , believe me it's worth it, top 3 Chinese manhwa so far for me

I enjoyed this manhua. However, I can say with confidence that it's definitely not a masterpiece. Here are the reasons:

1. MC has evil intent but circumstances always intervene so that his evil plans fail. He wants to kill innocent people but fails due to accidental happenings. Example:

He lied to Ning'er and used her as bait, knowing full well that his plan, if successful, would result in her death. The only reason she even survived was because his plan failed. Somehow this is played off as him just being pragmatic. I don't understand why anyone would trust him after seeing that.

Oh also he turns into a good guy later which is ridiculous. A guy who has been a ruthless, callous, cold-blooded sociopath suddenly turns into a goody-2-shoes after being "moved" by a girl? Bull-fucking-shit. That literally never happens. The "heart magic" was some ridiculous plot contrivance to begin with, but later on he just does a full heel-face turn and becomes a good guy. WTF.
2. Deus ex machinas.

In the second and third areas there were so many moments where he was about to get straight up murdered, and this godlike being just swoops in and saves his party from getting annihilated. The identity of this mysterious godlike being is not revealed. So a literal God pretty much.

3. The MC is actually pretty hot-headed at various moments, saying things like "I'm a demonic cultivator! I will never back down! I've already died once so I'm not afraid of dying again!". So basically, an idiot MC. Problem is that most of the time he acts like a rational, cool-headed guy too, which is how he's described by other characters. So there is this jarring incongruence between how he acts most of the time (cool-headed, rational, calculating) and how he acts in dramatic moments (hot-blooded, loyal, idealistic, spiteful).

I find it odd that the MC is somehow supposed to be this genius manipulator but also fails to see that his adopted child was plotting to betray him. Also lots of moments in this manhua where the MC is completely clueless to the people around him. Like when

that should have been a pretty big clue that something was up, I feel.

And the MC's motivations are just. all over the place. At the beginning it was revenge, now it's about making the Luo family great again, then it's about "becoming stronger", etc. All just feels very inauthentic. Can't really see any good reason for the MC to change his motivations at the drop of the hat like that.

So, all in all, definitely not a masterpiece. I mean you can probably guess from the first chapter which is the most generic opening chapter ever for a xuanhuan (MC finds super-OP book, gets attacked by everyone, betrayed by his closest companions etc).

Well, I still enjoy it though. I just read chapter 118 and I really liked it.

1. MC has evil intent but circumstances always intervene so that his evil plans fail. He wants to kill innocent people but fails due to accidental happenings. Example:

The witch had exploited this power countless times, using the frog to do her bidding and terrorize the innocent creatures of the forest. No one knew how the wicked witch and the soul-eating frog had come to be connected, but it was clear that their alliance was a force to be reckoned with. They would wander the forest together, wreaking havoc and spreading fear wherever they went. The witch would cast spells and curses, while the frog would watch eagerly, ready to consume any souls that crossed their path. The forest creatures lived in constant fear of the wicked witch and her soul-eating frog. They had tried to fight back, but the witch's magic was too powerful, and the frog's insatiable appetite for souls seemed unstoppable. The once vibrant and lively forest had become a place of darkness and despair. But the creatures of the forest refused to give up hope. They knew that they had to find a way to break the bond between the wicked witch and the soul-eating frog. They searched high and low, consulting wise old owls and ancient books of magic, desperate for a solution. Finally, after much toil and determination, the creatures discovered a spell that could potentially sever the connection between the witch and the frog. It required a rare and powerful ingredient, one that could only be found deep within the heart of the enchanted forest. Armed with this newfound knowledge, the creatures embarked on a treacherous journey to find the ingredient. They faced perilous obstacles, but their determination never wavered. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, they found what they were looking for. With the ingredient in hand, the creatures returned to the wicked witch's lair, ready to perform the spell. The air crackled with energy as they recited the incantation, their voices strong and unwavering. As the last words were spoken, a blinding light filled the room, and the wicked witch and the soul-eating frog were separated forever. The wicked witch, now without her soul-eating companion, was weakened and powerless. She could no longer terrorize the forest or inflict harm upon its inhabitants. The creatures rejoiced, their once-peaceful home restored to its former glory. And so, the tale of the wicked witch accompanied by a soul-eating frog came to an end. It serves as a reminder that even the most evil alliances can be broken, and that hope and perseverance can triumph over darkness..

Reviews for "The Haunting Tale of the Wicked Witch and her Frog Familiar"

1. Sarah - 2 stars

I found "Wicked witch accompanied by a soul eating frog" to be disappointing and disturbing. The concept of a wicked witch and a soul eating frog sounded intriguing, but the execution fell flat. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked depth, making it difficult for me to connect with them or care about their fate. Additionally, the storyline took a dark and twisted turn that felt unnecessary and disturbing. The ending left me feeling unsatisfied and wondering what the purpose of the story was. Overall, I would not recommend this book to those looking for a captivating and enjoyable read.

2. Mark - 1 star

"Wicked witch accompanied by a soul eating frog" was a complete waste of time. The writing style was amateurish and the plot was incoherent. I struggled to make sense of the storyline and found myself questioning the motives and actions of the characters throughout. Furthermore, the inclusion of a soul eating frog felt forced and unnecessary. It did not add any depth or interest to the story, but rather served as a cheap attempt at shock value. I highly advise readers to steer clear of this book and invest their valuable time in better reads.

3. Lisa - 2 stars

I picked up "Wicked witch accompanied by a soul eating frog" expecting an exciting and magical adventure, but I was sorely disappointed. The pacing of the story was sluggish, and the plot lacked originality. The characters were cliché and lacked development, making it difficult for me to connect with or root for them. Additionally, the dialogues felt forced and unnatural, detracting from the overall reading experience. While the idea of a wicked witch and a soul eating frog had potential, this book failed to deliver on its promises. I would not recommend it to anyone seeking an engaging and well-crafted fantasy read.
