A manhwa that will have you supporting the Main Character with Pride!

I procrastinated reading this manhwa ‘til it was last on my priority list, but when I finally picked it up, I realized I overlooked a hidden gem.

What I found most appealing is the plot and our main character. From being bedridden due to trauma to developing an UNBREAKABLE WILL that leads him down an unknown path, filled with reliable friends and a journey that encourages continuous development and growth.

The narrative bravely addresses these experiences and we get to see the remarkable results.

In any case, Ruru/Lulu the cat is awesome.
Highly recommend this hidden ... gem masterpiece.

Plus
* art is decent
* story/lore is simple and straightforward. (cliche?)
* easy to read. you can stop anywhere because the cliffhangers are weak and the arcs are generally tiny.
* rapid pace and decent execution. hype all the way!

Minus
* power levels (and kinds) are all over the place with barely any structure.
* The characters (especially villains) are too generic. I could predict their dialogues/expressions in my sleep.
* And some characters are *really* inconsistent. Its like the authors forgot their character traits?
... * MC is plain and boring and empty. I genuinely have no idea why his family even loves him.
* 80% of the series is either training or dueling. and it gets tiring after a while, especially when the mystery is kinda weak.

Overall
Just another power fantasy template with pretty art. It executes its generic ideas properly, but it also brings nothing new to the table. The usual busted MC with everyone around him going "wow.. I can't believe he grew so much stronger overnight. He must have worked real hard. so young and talented and handsome and humble etc..".

If you are not a fan of this genre, then skip this.

Having read the web novel, I started with high expectations, however despite the first few chapters hooking me, I seemed to lose interest.

The art and character are fine however the story seems a bit rushed compared to the original wn.

Story: 4/10
Story is very rushed. Most arcs tend to last less than 3 chapters, often leaving out major details.

Art: 7/10
Art is fine, Has more of a western feel to it but nothing other than that.

... Characters 5/10
Characters are rushed and don't possess any distinct traits.

Overall would recommend the light novel, however not so much this.

Rating 6/10
