9.0/10


As the story progresses further and further, the chapters are only getting better and better. The mc is terribly weak, but to make up for his faults, he uses his wits/practicality. Honestly, most weak mc manwhas become too serious at times, but in this manwha, the mc stands his ground, makes self-aware comments, and grabs people by the d*ck (yes, really) to lighten or deepen the mood.

Each character possesses a small sense of realism, but such characters are also expendable to the mc’s devious ploys. Though the mc may not be all-powerful, the manwha’s pacing, development, and mood create such an engaging and tense ... story that it is hard not to obsess over.

Like all weak to strong stories, the initial chapters are easily the weakest part about the story, but while reading this, I wasn’t ever close to gouging my eyes out; the introduction is strong, and the manwha only got better exponentially from there.

If there were 50 more chapters of this, I would never get tired of it, and I can not wait for the mc to get some power up despite the world being against him. Unless, you absolutely dread weak mcs, there is no reason to not read this—even if you have never enjoyed a weak mc story, this might be the one because of the mc’s unique bad@ssery.

Considering low rating and a self-deprecating synopsis of "I wrote a shit story and now I'm a character in it" - I had absolutely no good faith in the series. But me being isekai-garbage connoisseur, I stilll gave it a chance. And oh boy what a 180 it was.

First 3-5 chapters are exactly as you would expect from the synopsis. It feels bland, typical and non-promising.
But with each passing chapter it becomes stronger and stronger. Characters start to open up from multitude of sides, situtations and relationships exceed initial cliches and begin to shine. Plot doesn't turn grandiose all of the sudden and maintain ... steady pacing. Bits and tips of the otherall plot start to accumulate to make an interestring picture of the future events.

I've read a lot of stories. Usually author just got some interesting initial idea and after 20+- chapters he either spills it or doesn't know what to do with that anymore and it goes haywire from that point.
But here it's complete opposite. Seemingly bad idea blooms into something interesting and engaging.
Please, dear reader, give the story a chance. 5 chapters should be enough for you to see that it's not what it seems.
