TurtleMe’sThe Beginning After the Endmanhwa has been a constant crowd-attractor. With its overpowered protagonist and his journey of growing up, the series has won the hearts of readers. In fact,TBATEis also receiving an anime adaptation, which is scheduled to air in 2025.
But despite its fame, the story has also received criticism for using some cliched tropes like reincarnation in an isekai world and the introduction of an overpowered protagonist (OP). The creator of the manhwa detailed how he came about to implement them in his story.
The Beginning After the EndAuthor Reveals His Inspiration Behind The OP Trope
The author ofThe Beginning After the Endadmitted that he loves fantasy and isekai for the freedom that they allow in exploring the different worlds as well as complex characters. WithTBATE, TurtleMe wanted to play with the reader’s expectations from the genre by building depth into the same.

TBATEalso extensively uses the overpowered protagonist trope. Arthur is the reincarnation of a great ruler and, as such, remembers everything from his past life and has a greater magical affinity. The manhwa chooses to show the character’s growth despite his available library of powers. In an interview, TurtleMe revealed his inspirations behind using the OP trope.
I drew inspiration from stories that challenge characters at a deeper level, like Fullmetal Alchemist and Hunter x Hunter, along with Western fantasy epics like Eragon and The Name of the Wind focusing on growth and choices over mere power.
The author admits that the trope of an adult being reborn as an infant has been explored previously, but in most isekai series, the character’s infancy and childhoods are glossed over. TurtleMe wanted to dive into the family dynamics of the protagonist and how it would affect the character. He also wanted to explore how a fully mature person could grow with new experiences.

As the release of theTBATEanime draws closer, fans are eager to know more details of its debut in a new medium. Thankfully, the author has opened up about his involvement in the manhwa-anime pipeline. The manhwa creator admitted thathis top priority is staying true to the heart of The Beginning After the End.
I work closely with the creative team to preserve those essential themes—especially Art’s growth and emotional journey–while being cognizant of the fact that this is a different medium for a different type of audience.
