Well damn, another manhwa dropped after spending a few hours going up to chapter 77.
The beginning was all right, there was great promise, but sadly the potential was half-baked around the first set of chapters.

The pacing is mismatched, it's not just skipping but to the degree that things are happening without me realizing it.
Man the MC here...he's lacking a personality? Like sure he is resolved to do better in this life but there are too many moments where his incompetency shows. To the point where it's hard to see him as reliable in specific matters.

To top it off, various characters are suddenly getting thrown in, ... which confuses the story. Like literally no setup or introductions at the bare minimum, we are forced to wander and think who the heck are these people?

It must be mentioned there was an art upgrade in the later part of the story but it doesn't help if the development still lacks clarity.

The art is decent/good, not bad but not the best however the story itself is well...boring!
I really tried reading this and pushing past the intro hoping it would get better however it just felt like I was forcing myself to read it. The story didn't make me root for the MC, he isn't a bad person and it's good that he is changing the future however I still felt no connection to them or even the desire to root for them and want to see their story.
The introduction came a bit late and by then it just felt like a chore reading it.
The first ... battle which happens in chapter 5 also wasn't interesting if anything I skimmed through it after it being boring, the talking and thinking that went on back and forth between the MC & the enemy felt like it was trying to be funny but instead felt a bit cringy.
