I actually read this at webtoons but it seems those only get into GR if they are also published as a book. I don't get their reasoning but it is what it is. That said this is no review of the book because I don't know which chapters are included. As I'm at chapter 200 (ongoing) it surely spans at least over all Eleceed books currently listed at GR.
Diving into Eleceed we're in a world of superheros in hiding who call themselves Awakend, specifically we're in South Korea where Jiwoo is living on his own with some stray cats as his only companions. Although he's probably still in high school there are no parents present. In the first “books” we only see memories of his mother who moves with him from one city to another to protect her son because she fears what might happen if the government becomes aware of his special ability. That constant moving, the reaction of his peers and her continual admonition to hide makes him shy and reclusive with only cats as his friends.
That is changing dramatically one day after saving an injured, fat tabby because said cat is the infamous Kayden, an unaffiliated, powerful Awakened, in disguise. He won't never admit that he has no clue how his change into a cat happened. He only remembers that he was nearly fatally wounded, on the run and looked for a sure way to hide from his persecutors. He doesn't know it yet but he will become Jiwoo's mentor for the world of the Awakened. He's the first one to acknowledge Jiwoo's super speed as a power but also the first one who falls victim to Jiwoo's cheerfullness, his fierce loyalty and his unconditional kindness because now that he knows that he's no freak all those character traits are coming forth and there's no stopping him from finally living, making friends and finding his place in that new world.
The first chapters are hilarious, seeing the mighty Kayden's pride struggling with his new body and his refusal to accept its limitations or cravings. There are a lot of cat analogies and if you're no cat person you probably like to skip some channels until the story takes pace. After that it's a nearly perfect mix of humor, action and drama. There's comprehensible character development, not only for Jiwoo and Kayden but also for support characters. There's also no complaint about the world building and the author obviously had a concept for a longer running story arc in mind which I really appreciate. I'm only missing a bit of romance. Every time when I believe to see some hints about something going into that direction it comes as a fault alarm.
That applies until chapter 171. There it seems the author is losing his focus. Maybe they didn't believe the series to be successful for such a long time but suddenly they resort to instruments like the sudden appearance of persons who didn't play any role until now or like creating complexity that leads to nothing than a short episode. They even hint at a possible romance that would make no sense while at the same time taking back the support character development of Jiwoo's closest friends n favor for creating funny situations. I'm sure they will find their way back. I just hope that will be soon.

I’m up to date on webtoons with this series, but not in the mood to track the rest here.
January 15, 2025
I've been reading this since freshman year, and I’m going to tell you, it didn’t disappoint me once. I absolutely LOVE Eleceed, one of my favorite manhwa. So, I decided to write a review—it’s for school, though. I read the manhwa online, so I’ll try my best to stay near the beginning of the story to avoid spoiling too much. I think I’ll focus on chapters 1 to 67.
In Eleceed, we follow our cute MC, Jiwoo Seo, a 17-year-old boy with abnormal speed. He doesn’t know what it is or where it comes from, and because of that, both he and his mom keep moving from place to place, scared that someone might discover his unusual ability. Because of this, he hasn’t been able to form any connections with anyone around him, leaving him with no friends. However, amongst all that loneliness, he finds comfort in the cats he sees around and the ones he has at home. One day, while feeding the cat in his neighborhood, he comes across a really FAT orange cat who seems to be badly injured. Being the kind kid he is, Jiwoo decides to take the cat in and care for it until it gets better. Little did he know, this would open a door to a world of opportunities for him (e.g., becoming more confident in himself, making friends, and discovering the truth behind his abnormal abilities).
I’ve been reading the manhwa for 4-5 years already, and I want it to end, but at the same time, I don’t. 😭 (Very mixed feelings about it.) Something that I absolutely LOOOOOVE is the art style and how much it changes throughout the years (not in a bad way). The manhwa is so good to read when you're feeling sad or down because trust me, you will laugh at some point. Of course, there are some chapters that are really full of action and fight scenes, and I love that. The balance of humor, action, and romance is fantastic. The character development is amazing, and the way this manhwa feels so warm makes you want to be part of the group of friends Jiwoo will make. It also shows how a little kindness and love can change someone and help them become more open… Cough 🫢 cough… (Wooin, Jisuk Yoo, Subin, and Kayden)
Chapters 1-67 are some of my favorite parts. I found it funny, and it’s when we are introduced to the characters and get to know a little about the world and our MC. I love the jokes, and that one incident between Jisuk Yoo and Kayden (if you know, you know—but just in case you don’t, it’s in chapter 43 :3), which always makes me cry from laughter. I love the jokes, and the things that poor Kayden had to go through!
I don’t particularly have anything I dislike, except I’m scared I’ll die of old age and still not know who Jiwoo’s father is. I think I’m going to get married, have kids, grow old, and still not know who he is. But regardless of that, I love the manhwa, and I’ve probably reread it 11 times, and will read it again because Why not.👍

Je me suis récemment sérieusement mise aux Webtoon : la frustration, quasiment tout ce qu'on lit gratuitement est en cours (même s'il y a plus de 200 chapitres déjà). Attendre une semaine pour un chapitre en soi ne me dérange pas, je préfère attendre plutôt qu'acheter les coins payants qui sont quand même sacrément chers vu qu'il en faut 7 pour débloquer un chapitre. Bref. C'était un tour d'horizon de Webtoon x'D.
Je trouve que souvent les webtoons (d'action du moins) ont les problèmes de pourquoi j'ai du mal avec les manhwas coréens, à savoir les héros sont trop beaux (enfin tous les persos d'ailleurs, ils se ressemblent tous, d'ailleurs je me demande souvent pourquoi les hommes ont souvent les cheveux longs dans les fictions alors que ça n'arriverait jamais dans la vraie vie), trop forts, trop arrogants, trop accro à la violence, trop uniques, qui veulent tout faire seuls. Toutes les femmes tombent amoureuses de lui. Bah Eleceed est l'un des rares à être différent. Déjà, le héros est un amoureux des chats, alors kudos pour lui. C'est surtout son maître qui rentre dans tout ce que j'ai dit, mais il y a beaucoup plus de solidarité et d'union que dans d'autres titres que j'ai pu lire. La progression est sympa aussi et surtout il n'est pas trop fort trop rapidement et il peut perdre. Merci. Et il n'a pas la science infuse * kitty punch *. Après bah oui, ils sont tous trop beaux, y a aucune diversité, mais bon, rien n'est parfait... Mais pour une fois, on a un gentil héros. L'univers est un peu simpliste mais les combats sont vraiment bien dessinés.

"eleceed"
Realistic Fiction: eleceed illustrated by Son Je Ho was one of the manhua that I have been reading ever since it got released. throughout the story, it talks about Jiwoo, a cat lover with superhuman abilities, and Kayden, one of the strongest wizards that turned into a cat. Through their adventure, Jiwoo gradually grows its ability through lessons of Kayden and others, challenges and gets challenged by the world's strongest enemies. Through the process, makes friends with ones that he never knew, and finds out secrets about his mom.
When I was reading the manhwa, there was nothing that I thought could improve, nor something I disliked, since this was literally my favorite manhwa of all time, and I felt like reading the whole series several times.
I would recommend this comic to anyone that likes reading superhero stories, or anyone that is trying to find a comic that is worth reading.

Dropped it halfway on webtoon. But the story is still really good. Reading about the fights is fun.
There are only 2-3 characters whom I didn't find annoying. Also, it's clear that Kayden is super powerful and all that and I was really excited to see him fight but most of the time he is just a cat, so it was quite disappointing. (I know the story is about the kid but still the way everyone keeps talking about his powers got me excited). Many characters were boring...I just scrolled through whenever their faces appeared.

read on WEBTOON. this version is poorly edited
This version literally looks like someone’s bootleg fan translation from screenshots. There is no rhyme or reason to the flow of images and over half of the speech bubbles are literally cut in half. I was excited to see this title for sale, cuz I definitely love it enough to buy the book, but I sure am glad this is on unlimited. I would have been IRATE had I paid money for the hopped up first chapter!

Only adding this once since I’ve read it as it released across years and I want more people to hear about how good it is lol—
IT IS SO GOOD. Anyone who is not reading this on webtoon is seriously missing out. It might take a few chapters to get interesting, but once it gets going, it never lets up. the humor?? 💕 The characters??? 💕
If you like found family, cats, epic fights, wholesomeness with depth, this is for you.

i'm sad i can't find a proper goodreads page for this but it starts as a cute slice of life fish out of water story but it's a mix of coming of age and sweet story about friendship, martial arts and a funny garfield like fat cat with the soul of the strongest awakened human who mentors the MC
The relationships makes this one so likeable. You'll feel like a proud parent witnessing the growth of the MC by the present arcs

看至357话。看到最近要出动漫，就拿来看看原著。
前期故事有够像BL，男主角相貌性格有够0，身边的人全是1。直到认识的女生朋友开始跟这帮臭男生一起混，才转回正常。故事比较王道热血，逻辑不多。有时候很幽默，一群朋友很容易鸡飞狗跳。师傅有时候变成肥猫，真是神来一笔。如果一直耍帅就会很俗。超强角色变成猫就很好笑了。而且师傅性格也很恶劣，有够像猫，很有反差。男主太善良，对朋友很好，懂感恩，剧情也有很多暖心的时候。
世界观很普通，主要谁的拳头大，就听谁的。年纪大了，看到这样的世界观就觉得不可持续，难道拳头大就会治理国家了吗？秘传招式只流传给自己家族或手下，垄断知识会进步吗？所有人有意见就直接打一架，真的是成年人的做事方式吗？而且居然没有人能组超能小队，全靠单打独斗。有个兼顾近战，远攻，输出，坦克，辅助，回血，刺杀，情报的全能型战力不好吗？个个人随便一打就撞破墙壁，世界级高手随便一击就大楼倒塌，也不是每个人都能开空间隔离，真不知道为什么这些人不会被正常人发现。

I'm using this first chapter to refer to the series as a whole. Currently I'm on episode 17 and I'm loving it. It was a recommendation from a acquaintance and I'm glad I got it!
The art is drawn in such a humorous way and that's where this comic shines for me.
I do have to take breaks I think or I will end up bored with the humor.

Voy a tomar esto como si fuera eleceed en su totalidad porque sino es un quilombo.
Realmente la historia es increíble y los personajes lo son aún más. Tengo ganas de volver a leerlo mientras espero a que actualicen el nuevo capítulo.
Mis personajes favoritos son Kartein y Subin probablemente, los amo demasiado 🩷

Eleceed! I loved this comic. I love how Zhena illustrates the characters; Kayden, Jiwoo and his friends! This was one of the first comics I read on webtoon and since then, I have become addicted. The art is really nice along with the character development. It's awesome!

I read through Episode 376, and still liked it! It's available online at Webtoons.
(It hasn't been collected into volumes, so this Goodreads entry doesn't reflect the fact that hundreds of episodes have been published online.)
