For Carnby Kim, I agree with most of the concensus. It's his most typical work, but with the original spin.

Carnby didn't change his methods to start a tale. A protagonist, way beyond what most of us can call a good person, or someone who CAN be a good person. Jeon-ji, a complete piece of garbage. Not due to a desire, but as "that's all he has". Modeled with violence, riddled with personal problems, given physical advantages, he was instilled that violence gets results. Violence protects convenient people, helps those around me, gives me control of my life. Allas, he got in a brutal accident, eliminating ... his chances to use all he knew to lead his life, violence.

He's an incredible protagonist, for now, he's put in the hand of God, and must do good-natured missions to not get sent to hell. Contrast, attitude, now equipped with his violence, and an Angel who can infinitely heal him, and accompany him. It's such a fun, slightly light-hearted, but powerful story that can explore people in terrible contexts, all from which an inherent asshole should change with. It was slow, but close to a slice of life, with something brooding in the background.

Now, apart from being fun, interesting, a bit emotional, tense, cool. There's something about the latter half that couldn't reel me in. The beginning premise felt incredibly nice, with a pacing to match it, and slow changes that make us root for the main character. I'd say, they took too much time developing that rhythm, causing the rest of the plot to feel weird after the shift. Rushed? Maybe. It's between rushed and proper. Everything that NEEDED to be there, was there, but not that extra layer that can land everything much nicely.

More scenes with certain characters, more setups and pay-offs. The power system needed more depth. They tease about the existence of legendary weapons, and then they just drop them in the story at the tail end. They drop so many things in the big climactic finale, including a character twist. The story reached over-ambition in a very small amount of chapters. However, the ending, the true end of the story was so good.

Wasted potential isn't the word for it. More like it was a second draft of the story. Polished in many ways, granting a great ending, and setting up many things. However, it needed more revisions, more scenes, more character interactions. If I had to sacrifice a plot-point, to truly land the ending, would be the second fourth of the story. However, we do need that for our protagonist's change to be true. Give it 30 more chapters, not at any particular section, but distributed in each arc, and piece of the story to truly flesh out what needed it.

I still really enjoyed it. The art, the characters, designs, and the plot. There's just something about the fight scenes that you know Carnby wasn't all that accustomed to. He's much more ready when it comes to horror/thriller, so asking great angelic, and demonic fights isn't something perfect for him.

7/10. His weakest work, but hey, for the weakest to have a 7 really says something about the author.

The main character, Jeon Ji is your typical high school bully, gets hurt and retires. Now he is an old grunt who only know the violence and also gets in troubles. Overall his character is bad, like this guy HOLDS his grudges. One day, God cursed him. His curse is to help other people find their happiness. He gets assigned a guardian angel and they both work together to fulfill his missions. If he doesn’t do them he goes to hell.

If you're reading this because it's a work of Carnby Kim then please do not judge it as unlike author's other works, Flawed Almighty ... doesn't have a dark, complex background.

Flawed Almighty is quite laid back and also funny,but it touches serious topics like murder, self harm, suicide and related things so beware.

Whenever Jeon Ji tries to help someone, his words are awful, as mentioned above, he's not a good person and he's also socially awkward which makes it even worse for him, so it'll definitely be a squinty read. But as Jeon Ji helps more people, his character develops and he genuinely feels human emotions that which he was always so detached from,due to loss of hope.

If you think the manhwa is not up to your taste then I'd suggest to not read it, everyone has their own taste. The storyline however felt vibrant to me, yet felt that perhaps something more could be done for plot, but in the end Jeon Ji will be Jeon Ji so perhaps not. Despite that,my rating would be 7/10.

Please do not let my personal rating deter you from reading the manwha, if the summary catches your attention do read it and have fun.

Ugh I didn't think I'd ever abandon a story because it was too much for me. But Flawed Almighty did it.

As a youngster, Jeonji Kim was bullied for his name until he became a bully himself and a legend in the area. Destined to become a feared gangster, a motorcycle accident interrupts his career before it could really take off. Still, he remains a petty thug, so he also turns on a beggar - who may be more than he seems. At least that's what the angel claims, who visits Jeonji the next day and proves her identity by first inserting a knife into him, ... only to heal him immediately.

In fact, the beginning is still harmless when compared to the rest of the work. Here it's about all the psychological problems one can have - the protagonist has to help people to get rid of the curse he received because he turned on God. And these cases are soon those who are on the verge of suicide, have chronic anxiety disorders or any other severe problems.
Even though the stories always end well, the story grabs you where it's really, really uncomfortable. Every time a new 'wish' comes up, you have to brace yourself for some chapters that are very hard to watch. Whether it's because you just find the characters really stupid (honestly, there were a few situations where I could only wonder what kind of idiots they were in parts) or because the story hurts your heart - I had both. This creates a constant up and down, a change between joy, because people who were really at the end, can finally regain hope and disgust, hate, sadness, because new people appear, who just have such problems.

Even though I have to admit that not every story, not every work has touched me so much, the manhwa is unfortunately not for me, which is why I broke it off after 42 chapters.
