It's the kind of excuse you'd expect from a lazy pre-teen. He just wanted an excuse to live where he was, so he blames his mom. The protagonist is literally just some scummy average guy with OP abilities and knowledge doing whatever he damned well pleases regardless of whether it's good or bad.Įarly on, MC is offered a better deal to go live in the States and he's just like "nah, I'd rather just live in Korea because that's where my mom lives." At no point does he pretend he's actually loyal to the corporation he signed on with, Korea or the Korean government. Even the MC's tendency to just randomly do seemingly heroic things is explained as the protagonist just wanting a cheap feel good moment. The only thing mildly redeeming about it is how honest the author is about the MC not being a hero or even anti-hero. The writing is typical of this genre, meaning it's pretty much just shit tier. Like seriously, you couldn't be arsed to fulfill the promise your entire manhua was based on!? Almost nothing that I wanted to see happen happened in the end the finale was anticlimactic and kinda boring we barely hear anything about his prior world despite all the foreshadowing that things were crossing over from it.īut honestly, the dragon thing is the most frustrating for me. The more I thought about it while writing this, the lower my score dropped. Every time, you think they are setting up something for later, but the author is just like "nah, I found a new shiny thing to focus on." Over and over. and then he fights the family and nothing happens to his mom. At one point, a person claims her family will do anything to harm the MC and it shows a picture of his mother. The hunter he rescues who promises him a favor? He doesn't meet her for over 100 chapters, and she never even reacts to seeing him again beyond "he looks familiar". His mom having an incurable disease? Solved within the first few chapters. Literally, the biggest bit of foreshadowing, a two-life promise to fight again. Throughout the entire story, all the way until he pretty much becomes all powerful, it never makes an appearance. The dragon that he promises to see again in the second chapter. He doesn't seem to have any idea that you need to both set-up and pay off things. The author has literally 0 grasp of the concept of Chekhov's Gun nor foreshadowing of any type. Well written characters, well written powers, well written fights, well written world building.īut the plot and pacing were utter trash. It's a mess.This seemed pretty good early on, and it was almost well written throughout.īut the word almost is in that sentence for a reason. Then in that chapter, something happened, and now it IS that bad, lol. I made it to chapter 103 before I had to drop it but it wasn't because I was interested, I was just bored and it wasn't so bad that I couldn't push through in hopes it would get better. If this was an episodic serial, where every 'episode' was different, then maybe 'going on forever' wouldn't seem so contrived, but in this it certainly does. They throw in random tropes, it starts feeling like a bad crossover, there's a lot I can't say without spoiling things but at a certain point the author is clearly just throwing in random things to slow down their overly overpowered main character from actually solving the plot, and giving him more issues to need to resolve. Plot-wise, things that were interesting start to be a little more interesting, and you get a hint of some bigger plot. Around chapter 40-ish the art starts to get a little better, though the characters can hardly ever seem to keep their both or even either of their eyes open. The first 20 chapters seem like every cliche 'gate' and 'hunter' manga/manhwa meshed into one, with terrible art to boot. The author has no idea what they're doing. Edited Review: Honestly, it's something to waste some time on if you're bored, but it's nothing outstanding and here's why:
