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.

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...

The overall story is very cliche with a reincarnated protagonist. In his previous life he was a nobody, got banished from his clan. In his new life, the main character will do anything to avoid this. He will get some new kind of power. The main character is alright, he is strong and arrogant since he has knowledge from his previous life. The supporting characters are nice, nothing special to be honest.

Honestly, the whole story is very bland. I've read countless of these stories and this one is mid at best. Nothing new or original. If you have read "Solo Leveling" (the OG of ... this type of story) or "Revenge of the Baskerville Bloodhound", this is almost identical. Save your time by reading something else!

This should be read only if
1) You haven't read a manhwa of this style (read Solo Leveling instead)
2) You have currently nothing to read / you're up to date with everything you're currently reading
3) You have read Solo Leveling and you're missing that kind of story but do not want to re-read Solo Leveling

You want a cliche manwha with the shy, weak protagonist reincarnated, and now he is strong, cold, and inexpressive and has many women and powers of no good. This is your manwha. "MAL." I deleted the previous review I made of this manwha, but I don't care; I'm going to make another one.

What an original and exciting story they have published. Oh, the plot of a weak little boy who is bullied and then reborn to become the strongest swordsman! I can't contain my excitement. Isn't this the most innovative and unique plot ever conceived? All the nobles are mentally retarded and sadistic is just ... brilliant. I can almost taste the originality from here. (Irony)

And of course, the protagonist, Jin, with his "edgy" personality. Who doesn't love a character who goes from being bullied to arrogantly bullying others? So refreshing and new! (Irony is a shitty series)

And let's not forget friend Murakan, or whatever his name is. A strong guy feared for a thousand years, but the real mystery about him lies in his obsession with strawberry shortcakes. Oh really? What an intriguing depth of character! (The Father of the Manwhas)

But wait, the best thing of all is the art, right? Because, apparently, that's the only thing that matters in this masterpiece. A cliché story over and over again, but if the art is pretty, who cares about the plot? (Solo Leveling👋)

Anyway, I am completely excited to immerse myself in this literary gem. Really, I wonder how you managed to conceive something so original and unique. Bravo! (Don't read the manwha please see good manwha)

Unlike other manwhas that has the same plot, this one is obviously better like I read alot of the same plot and this one is the only that gets me excited about what will come next, even tho a similar serie, Revenge of the iron blooded hound. its scary to say that some people think its just the same things cuz of the beginning but you can see on later chaps that its good and btw where are his women cuz apparently he has soo much

the art style is actually good yea

most characters are more op than our protagonist jin runkandel, even tho he adapts ... fast because of his unseled talent, he is way too weak knowing he isnt the only one having some legend’s powers.

we can see that the dad of jin, probably the strongest guy out there, was quite surprised but nothing more which suits his personality but its not really realistic

I think if you really look forward into it u might love this one or hate it. depends but its still a really good one
