Part 1: Meet The Characters Of Spare Me, Great Lord

Lu Shu

At first, we recognize Lu Shu, the MC in Spare Me, Great Lord manhwa, as one of the orphans along with Lu Xiaoyu, his adoptive sister. However, things begin to change when Lu Shu was hit by the truck. That moment is also the moment when Lu Shu activates his skills in the Negative Emotion Systems and begins to live his life as the Great Demon Lord.

Lu Xiaoyu

Lu Xiaoyu is the hard-headed but loving adoptive sister of Lu Shu in Spare Me, Great Lord. She may be a D-class being and has small figures, too. However, nobody can deny her love for her adoptive brother. Unfortunately, Xiaoyus’s portion gradually fades away as the manhwa author replaces her with Lu Shu’s wife, Carol.

Part 2: Story Of Spare Me, Great Lord

The story of Spare Me, Great Lord introduces the Lu brother and sister pairing, Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu. These kids are not biological siblings, instead, they happen to live under the same roof because they are orphans. Lu Shu, the MC of Spare Me, Great Lord, often teases his adoptive sister and vice versa; still, they love each other.

Things change after Lu Shu was hit by a truck on his way to purchase a grocery item. Just as everybody thinks Lu Shu has died, this novel MC has activated the Negative Emotion System. In the system, Lu Shu becomes a powerful Great Demon Lord. Now, Lu Shu also lives in a universe named Luniverse.

In Luniverse, not only that everybody there recognizes Lu Shu’s good-looking appearance. Lu Shu also finds himself as the reincarnation of the Old King of Gods. In addition, Lu Shu also unlocks some special abilities, such as water manipulation and swordsmanship skills. Everybody in Spare Me, Great Lord, respects Lu Shu, and even offers him to be one of the Heavenly Kings.

It doesnt mean that Lu Shu’s adoptive sister is left behind the scene, though. She is still there And Lu Shu as the brother also is still there Yet, we find more characters as we turn the pages of Spare Me, Great Lord manhwa.

Part 3: Meet The Author Of Spare Me, Great Lord

The author of Spare Me, Great Lord manhwa uses the nickname Speaking Pork Trotter. At first, I thought to Spare Me, Great Lord is the only manhwa by Speaking Pork Trotter. After all, it’s rare for people living in the same country as the author to have social media websites.

Turns out that I was wrong. Speaking Pork Trotter has written at least one another manhwa. However, that manhwa is less popular than Spare Me, Great Lord, even though the readers consistently give ratings that are more than 80% out of 100%. The amounts of loyal readers are larger in this novel than in another novel by the same author.

So, Speaking Pork Trotter is more famous with the Spare Me, Great Lord manhwa. It has been available in various manhwa platforms with different translated languages. Additionally, we can also see the manhwa in anime forms, and some scenes are available on online video platforms, too.

Part 4: Alternative To Spare Me, Great Lord

One of the key scenes in Spare Me, Great Lord manhwa is when a truck hits the MC and the MC falls unconscious. Then, the MC finds himself in a whole new universe full of fantasy elements like skills, weapons, classes, and the like. Dreame also has a fantasy novel with similar storylines, and that novel is Reincarnated With Zero Aptitude Of Magic.

I would say that Reincarnated With Zero Aptitude Of Magic is like a reversed version of Spare Me, Great Lord. In Reincarnated With Zero Aptitude Of Magic, a genius teenager, Aaron Aldrehrt, had to be born again in a magic-only universe But without any magical skills, and he should survive in the conflicting world.

Summary of Reincarnated With Zero Aptitude Of Magic:

Reincarnated With Zero Aptitude Of Magic tells us a story about Aaron Aldrehrt, a genius teenager with an IQ of 200. Aaron’s assassin’s girlfriend murdered him at the beginning of the chapter of the novel. As a result, he encounters Azrael, the Grim Reaper of the Underworld, in his afterlife.

Azrael brings him to a fantasy world full of magic. There, the System activates by not letting him become a magic user. Instead, he has the opportunity to use his genius-level intellect in his previous life in this magic world.

Now, Aaron has to handle magical things something that he could never master with his intellect, which is the asset that he always has. So, he begins to utilize modern weaponry technologies, starting from the rifle that the System has given to him.
