This will probably be discussed in the future chapter, but no matter what I don’t really like it when ‘transmigration’ comics don’t explain at all about life before the mc moved to another world. however in this comic, this isn’t really a problem, because even without the old world backstory, the main story is still good. But it still doesn’t sit right with me.

there are too many characters in this story, sometimes there are characters that are not discussed in depth. This may not be a problem, because after all, this comic is still in chapter 43. So in the future there should be a ... deeper discussion of some characters that have been around since the early chapters, but have not been discussed.

Mad respect for the main character, Ed, in his desire to just survive and let the MC in the video game do all the hero saving things. He will step up when things have changed because of him, but he always tries to not get involved based on the fact he does not want to add more to his plate.

Lucy is the best character in the fact that she is OP and all she wants is food (jerky) and sleeping. Like talk about bestie right there. If you ever need to find a good napping spot, she has got you covered.

A draw back is how ... much harem vibes it gives. This is mostly from the rich girl, spiritualist, and a little bit from the princess. It does get annoying because Ed could not care less about romance. It can and has interrupted him from accomplishing his tasks which makes it frustrating to watch/read.

Since I rarely did review, I don’t really know where to start…

First of all, this manhwa have too much monologue.. it pulls me away from the story too much and it affects my enjoyment greatly.

I don’t really find the setting to be bad (Magic School), but jesus the plot is BAD bad.
There is 0 world building, no character development, and most of the stuff we were introduced to, got forsaken pretty quickly.

I feel like the author just want to move the plot asap, without letting their characters having any real conversation.

And what pisses me off the most is the fact that Ed don’t ... even have any ambition besides “I want to survive by letting the plot do what they were supposed to do”, and then the Author trying so hard to explain to us “WHY” the plot isn’t the same as the original AS IF we would even know or care.

If only they introduce these characters one at a time, and let them develop before moving to other arc entirely, I would enjoy this a lot more.

[The Greatest Estate Developer] and [Pick Me Up] have a similar settings but BY FAR were way more enjoyable than whatever this is.

That’s the end of my rant, so..
