This has got to be one of the greatest Manhwas that I've ever had the pleasure to read. The art was amazing throughout the story, evolving along with the story and improving alongside the author. The story is something that many people seem to find overly complicated or bad. Personally I found the story to be extremely deep and well written, when reading there were a few authors notes you had to keep in mind, like how none of the characters had anything to do with their Norse mythological counter parts.

Anyone who enjoys a deep emotional manga/manhwa would probably enjoy the first part ... of this story, and if your more of an action addict then the second half will be a perfect next fix.

i have read this manhwa 2 times and i have no idea what tf happened, the manhwa isso confusing it hurts my brain, also they just randomly stop saying in between their monolouges and that just pisses me off
the story started off really good, dont really know what the hell was happening half of the time but at the end of the first season the general idea was there, but season 2 failed as a prequel imo
the art is good the main character is really good the story in season 2 felt rushed and could have been improved not to mention HOW CONFUSING IT ... WAS??? , i hate how difficult the names are and i wish the author would make an entire explanation somewhere :(
4/10 for enjoyment
7/10 overall

Well this was awful. There's something there in the idea but it's one of those annoying works that spends most of its time lamp shading tropes and acting like it's above them while not really trying on any other front besides the art. You'll constantly see people talking like freshman college media essays in the story. Very awkward talks of "Ah your role is a knight and I am a demon king and this is how the story goes. It is our inescapable fate fate fate." Blah blah blah.

It tries to do the throwing you into a world and you find out the things, but ... it never really establishes a normal. Fights just kinda happen as people do stuff. Fights are less things that reveal character or have effort put into them as much as flashy "this person got chopped or other person got chopped in reverse uno." The world itself is just robo norse world with very awkward fan service added in that doesn't fit the tone. I don't mind fan service but maybe don't shove in an awkward ass shot while someone's giving exposition. Maybe don't make ten author notes about how people should feel sorry for you and how you spend more time trying to creep on schoolgirls than writing the manhwa. Honestly the author notes took off a full point from how intrusively bleh they were.

In the end it's at least trying something different from a lot of more common manhwa but that's not enough for me to score highly.
