translated:
A unique work. Among the action stories, this is definitely one of the most creative.
I love the arcs that take place in the shadow world, and how they were written. The art is also to be praised, always maintaining a high standard, worthy of scenes to be framed.
In particular, the final course did not go the way I wanted. However, it did not disappoint in any way, it was impeccable and very exciting. 10/10

Idioma original:
Uma obra única. Dentre as de ação, esta é definitivamente uma das mais criativas.
Adoro os arcos que se passam no mundo das sombras, e como foram escritos. A arte ... também é de se elogiar, mantendo sempre um padrão elevado, digno de cenas a serem emolduradas.
Particularmente, o rumo final não seguiu da forma que desejava. Porem não decepcionou de forma alguma, se mostrou impecável e muito emocionante. 10/10

Let's see how I start writing this, I like manhwa in general, but let's start now:

The idea of ​​​​reincarnating in the past with all the memories is already something typical but the truth is that I like it, it's like the Isekai, it doesn't matter that it's an Isekai what matters is that it adds something different to the normal, with that said step. to the following:

The world of shadows seemed very original to me, the truth is that the problem is that while you read the last thing you want is for them to make one because it's very boring how it's being implemented ... and I appreciate that the author didn't make many shadow worlds throughout the story

The magic system is also good, the magic circles thing is something typical but the main character to overcome his genetic risk life instead of having powers given to him.

The characters are all very good and others very bad, I really don't like Pram and Romántica, they seem too childish to me but the characters that I do like are Desir and Crow Mask, the rivalry of these two is the best of the first part, Zod is one of the best characters in the manwha and finally the last antagonist Priscila does her role of hating her well but it bothered me that her followers were so OP when they are characters that came out of nowhere.

And finally the ending, I think I should lower it to 7 just for this, you can't do something so sneaky and cowardly like not choosing the main character's partner at the end leaving it as an open ending when there are many who were really waiting for that moment in the manwha, you had 2 options, either you make an ending with each one or you stick with one, not something as cowardly as leaving it there.

I'm giving it a 7/10 because of that cowardly ending, the worst thing is that it's going to ruin the anime if they base the anime 100% on the manhwa

The original novel deserves an 8/10 at least because Romantica doesn't appear in the epilogue and Desir ends up with Adjest at the end.

I "only" read 150 of the 268 chapters, so read my review with some scepticism.

Pros:
- It is colored, decently drawn, decent effects and distinguishable characters.
- The concept of redoing your life (even in a high magic society) is compelling.
- The character motivations are pretty clear and defined.

Cons:
- This is technically no an isekai, but it does follow a lot of the power fantasy tropes.
- The compelling twist of the main character Desir having prior knowledge due to having lived this life already, is quickly abandonned by his action changing the time line.
- The mahnwas go to surprise mechanic, is that Desir knows something the reader ... and his companions doesn't, uses this knowledge to win an encounter and then explain the details after. This gets stale rather quickly.

Conclusion:
- I rated this a 4/10, thus putting it in my "slob" range of 4-6. I will never finish it, reread it or remember it as anything worthwhile. After reading Solo Leveling (which I rated 6/10 and recommended) I can say that I am probably not the target audience for the modern eastern power fantasy, but I did enjoy Solo Leveling more than this, which is why I won't recommend it. If you are an above average enjoyer of isekais, then this title might sate your hunger.
