This manhwa was a nice change of pace from the regular overpowered MC in the murim world destroying aggressors left, right and center for the first twenty chapters but It was nowhere close to being boring as It is filled with good fights and the conversation between the Moonlight swordmaster and his companion (MC) is engaging and worth the read.

This manhwa (maybe in future for me) might dwell towards MC learning martial arts and leading a path of a murim martial artist but till now, The story has good pacing and the readers are not bombarded with a lot of details (factions involved, sects etc) ... from the start but are slowly introduced to it so the story doesn't go out of context making it an enjoyable read.

The artstyle is done by Redice studios so there is no compromise in that. The characters apart from the MC and his travel partner might seem like what you regularly see in a typical murim manhwa but other factors apart from this have a plus point so this can be looked over because rarely in any manhwa, the side characters are done right.

Overall, It is a good read and I will recommend others to give this a shot.

This is a very relaxing one (even though its in a murim).

Although the main character is shown to be slow (like not interesting) the story is pretty good. Unlike the same old "how dare you!?" "are you courting death??", this manhwa has better dialogues.

The art style is pretty good, especially the main character son bin's sword art.

My favourite part of this manhwa is that it shows that even a scholar who never touched a sword can learn it through hardwork and passion.

The story currently does have a lot of women, don't know if it will progress into a harem (hoping it will).

There might a lot ... of stupid misunderstandings, but if you don't skip or drop it, you will find a satisfy able ending.
