Yo, did you change the thumbnail or am i tripping on something?! It looks like that gun picture combined with the second body's original consciousness or something
See?! This is what i'm talking about! Obviously there's gonna be some fuckery, like completely eliminating muscle soreness from the other body just by massaging (not saying it doesn't help, it definitely does lol, I know from first-hand experience) it's the PTJ verse after all, but nevertheless, as long as he can afford the tools, he can do every discipline known to man which usually requires or depends on someone else doing it for a client/patient, and do it all by himself, he would be saving coupious amounts of money in the long run, not to mention, he'd have countless oportunities to MAKE it! Finance, medicine, cosmetology, engineering, hell, you name it, he can learn it. The only obstacle would be that the more complex the discipline the harder it would be to find and afford useful information (atleast for self-learning). You can see a surgeon operate countless times, but unless you know about a human's physiology, anatomy or just biology in general, you'll just know how to replicate the movements, not why or for what reason. Great chapter and execution!
Standing up, he opened his laptop and quickly searched for massage tutorials. If he wanted to maximize his gains, he needed to speed up recovery.

This is great.
nice chapter
I like where this is going, that you're already expanding (with the skills thing) is already a better way of going at it than just plain old fighting. Like, seriously, obviously an ability to "perfectly copy" is going to be interesting if we're speaking about martial arts (no to mention the supposedly "perfect body" that keeps being beat, but i digress), but why did PTJ not think of expanding it further like you did?! I remember that short streaming stint when OG Daniel was trapped in that building and all that drama, but why did he not push it further? It makes no sense, literally every J High "department" is perfect, it's a voactional school AND HE'S ALWAYS BROKE, he has all the ways and reasons to stop being a bum, but he refuses for some reason! Thank god for Jay. Jeez, anyways, good chapter as I said, sorry for the tangent.

Ahh, of course. No "villains" get seriously hurt in these. Good for him actually, even in Lookism killing is serious bussines, I don't think Logan's worth a Manslaughter charge, at a certain point, it stops being self-defense.

good chapter! they've all been, really.
Criminally underrated this fic is.
I have not seen any gramatical errors to date, the way the author writes is interesting and actually evokes atleast some thought into the way the characters or events will develop later down the line. In this particular fic, he's basing the characters on PTJ's Lookism, but this is obviously an AU, and we're already seeing how he would give his own spin on the characters. So that's a 5 on Writing Quality, Story Development, and Character Design, just from what we have seen so far (as of Chapter 17), the updates are frequent (that's another 5 on the Stability of Updates), and the World Background is taken straight from Lookism, so I don't think that it's fair to rate it, as such I will also be giving it a five. I recommend it, it's fun and it gives that "Why would the author do this!?" (talking about PTJ in this case) relief. All in all, I have hope for this fic! PD: PTJ is a great artist, however, it is true that with the huge cast of side-characters and storylines that he's introduced in an effort of making Lookism more marketable (along with his increasingly better art... for the most part), the story's concept has kind of fallen apart, where originally the story was about... well lookism, and how appearances matter so much in our society today, the way of introducing this plot point (the second body) kept spiriling and spiraling... until it became a fighting manhwa, which I actually enjoy, but then it moved even further into what is now made fun of as "Gangism", and I stopped caring about anything other than the fights and the art, which is a shame, because we know from first-hand experience that PTJ can make a good story, but it seems that he now just farms hype to squeeze money, even going to the point of (allegedly) using AI to take care of the art. I have high hope for this fanfic, I'd like it to take everything that the fans love and build opon it, as well as around it. What I don't want it to do is tear it down and make another story with just the same characters and stick "Lookism" in the title for the sake of views, which so far, hasn't happened, thankfully. Mr_Graythorn also replies to feedback, and seems fun, and not the tradionally stuck-up "Christopher Nolan" type. Which is alway a plus!
