4/10.
I initially found this murim manhwa somewhat enjoyable, despite it is still "generic", compared to other murims in the first chapters . While the characters lack depth, the power system feels shallow with badass name but unexplored skills, and the MC gains random power-ups with no foreshadowing, the story at least had a coherent plot during the earlier chapters. But I could tolerate these issues and kept reading until the academy arc ended

Unfortunately, everything fell apart even further after that arc. Not only the plot became messy, the power creep escalates to absurd levels, with the MC gaining even more random power-ups. Within ... less than 50 chapters after the academy arc, he becomes either the strongest or the second strongest in the entire verse. From this point on, the plot becomes unbearably repetitive: random fodder from some sect or organization underestimates the MC, only for him to effortlessly destroy them.

To make matters worse, the story has introduced some of the most baffling and downright frustrating plot points. (MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!) For instance, the MC has non-consensual sex with a woman under the pretext of "saving her life," which is both disturbing and nonsensical. Another example involves him killing an ally's relative simply because she was "annoying."

LIKE WTH ? I understand the author’s attempt to create a morally grey and realistic protagonist, diverging from those typical kind-hearted, heroic murim MC archetype. However, the execution is terrible. The MC’s ideology is unclear, his motives are questionable, and many of his actions are just outright stupid. For example, why kill that relative because she is annoying, especially when doing so creates unnecessary risks? Worse still, his personality is wildly inconsistent—he forgives an assassin who tried to kill him early in the story and even becomes friends with them later, yet he casually murders someone connected to his ally over a trivial annoyance.

The story’s decline in both plot and character consistency makes it hard to continue reading. While it started with potential, the poor writing and horrendous plot points ruined the whole exeprience for me.

9.5+/10. This is one of the best harem work I’ve ever encountered. Still i have to said there are some issues with this manhwa, such as a few characters feeling underdeveloped (you whould know who after reading it) and certain topics being glossed over, though it is still an enjoyable and memorable read for me.

To begin with The protagonist is a standout. Despite fitting into the 'dense and bland-looking protagonist' archetype, his character is nuanced and evolves meaningfully as the story progresses. What makes him truly unique is how his dense nature is portrayed—it feels intentional and is explored as part of his growth, ... with him eventually recognizing this aspect of himself. It’s rare to see such thoughtful writing in this genre, and it elevates the entire story to something special.

To expound further, the female cast is incredibly well-written, each feeling like a genuine, three-dimensional person rather than just background props or possessions like many other same genre works.
