Definitely good one in the manhwa scene right now but those who have read the LTN know this is some top tier 10/10 shit.

The story starts really great with the protagonist being a very unique character, furthest from the conventional protagonist, with the first chapter making him more and more of a potential villain and I feel like it succeeded in the sense that right now in the story, he is not the best person at heart and does not care about you if it doesn't benefit him. At the same time, he is not some stone-cold killer 14 year olds would like, but just ... someone who prioritizes himself over most other people but would not harm someone for no reason. Basically, a much more realistic personality and attitude. The side characters are actually amazing not yet at one piece levels, but they have the same potential. The villains are top notch and genuinely give you a feeling of ominousness. The strength development and the in world time pacing are in my opinion perfect. Their are small time skips in between to show time passing but there is absolutely no huge time skip in the story that completely changed the characters and increased the power level of the protagonist in a more believable proportion which is something that a lot of series overlook but greatly appreciated.
Story- 9/10 (for now)
Art- 10/10

Reviewer Rating 10/10
One of the top-tier Manhwa I have read so far
You should definitely read this if you are looking for
• A Manhwa where MC reincarnates to make things right which he was not able to do to past life
• A smart MC who know the future and always make the optimum decisions
• A world full of magic, swordsmen & dragons
• Great artwork with insanely good fights
• Something which will let you binge for hours
• Beginner MC who trains hard to become OP (MC here has all the benefits in the world which helps with grow faster)

A story where MC having a really hard ... life and meets a unfortunate end but reincranates with the help of a superpower and in the new life MC is a prodigy and does all the things in an optimal way to rise to the top. The world is filled with Magic, Swordmans, dragons, etc..

Luna is the best girl...

There's some cool art and some fun fight scenes, but this manhwa has very little sense of worldbuilding and not a lot of consistent characterization. Conflicts pop up and get resolved within just a couple of chapters at the author's convenience, often in ways that contradict previously-established facts. This makes the entire story seem like its being written chapter-by-chapter, without a plan.

Maybe my expectations are too high, but I'm having trouble buying into the stakes or getting emotionally invested in the characters when they transparently exist only to serve the power fantasy. That being said, if you're specifically looking for a power fantasy, then ... you'll probably enjoy this. The protagonist is always one step ahead of or one level above whoever his current enemy might be, and that can be satisfying in its own way.
