Regardless of its American roots, “The Beginning After the End” has garnered a substantial global fanbase. The original web novel boasts a significant following both in the Eastern and Western regions, making it an attractive series for global distribution. The popularity of “The Beginning After the End” is also a testament to the growing appeal of webcomics, particularly in the West, where series derived from web series like “Solo Leveling” have been transformed into massive anime shows with extensive marketing campaigns. Webcomics such as manga, manhwa, and others are gaining recognition and may soon become the next major trend in anime.

Snorlax – Not all characters can pull off a cowboy hat, but surprisingly, it suits Snorlax quite well. Despite being a Pokemon famous for eating and napping, Snorlax seems more awake when adorned with a cowboy hat. In fact, his stance suggests he might be quite competitive in a quick-draw contest, contrary to what his size might suggest. Slowpoke also deserves an honorable mention for pulling off the cowboy hat better than expected.

To win your first Valorant match, it’s crucial to thoroughly learn the map you’re playing on. Understanding the details of the maps helps predict your opponents’ movements more easily. Each map contains specific strategic points:

1. Identify key areas like spawn points, bomb sites, and choke points. These are usually where the action happens and controlling them can give you an advantage.
2. Learn common paths that players often take when moving around the map. This knowledge helps you anticipate their next move and set up traps or ambushes.
3. Familiarize yourself with the layout of the map, including its height advantages, cover spots, and sightlines. This will help you navigate more efficiently during gameplay and find better positions to take shots from.
4. Pay attention to the utility (smokes, flashes, molotovs) placements on each map. Knowing where these can be used effectively can turn the tide of a fight in your favor.
5. Lastly, practice playing on the map by yourself or with friends before jumping into ranked games. This will help you feel more comfortable and confident when it comes to competitive play.
