Brief: This is a unique manhwa which holds true to its name. This is no story of optimism or turn to a hero, mc is selfish, super goal focused, and rational. He would do whatever it takes from betrayal to good deeds.
The story progresses at a right pace and when you think mc is turning softie, he shows his true self in a very realistic way. This has everything from fights, wars, deception, and correct power scaling.


This manhwa truly lives up to its name, offering a unique and refreshing experience. It’s not your typical story of optimism or a hero’s journey. The main character ... (MC) is anything but a traditional protagonist. He is selfish, extremely goal-oriented, and highly rational. His actions are driven by his objectives, and he is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve them, whether it involves betrayal or good deeds. This makes him a complex character, standing out from the usual heroic figures we often see in similar stories.

The pacing of the story is well-done. Just when you think the MC is softening up, the narrative pulls you back into his true nature in a very realistic way. His decisions and actions remain consistent with his character, ensuring the story feels grounded despite its fantastical elements.

In terms of art, the style perfectly complements the tone of the manhwa. The fight scenes are dynamic and visually engaging, while the character designs effectively convey the intense emotions and depth of the plot. The power scaling is also handled well, maintaining a believable progression that fits the overall world-building.

The characters, including the MC, are well-rounded. They have their own strengths and flaws, reacting to the situations they face in ways that feel authentic and natural. The MC, in particular, doesn’t fit into the stereotype of being unrealistically powerful or overly righteous. His strategic mind and willingness to do anything for his goals create a sense of tension that keeps the reader hooked.

Overall, I think many people will enjoy this series for its darker, more complex take on the typical manhwa narrative. While it might not appeal to those who prefer more optimistic or traditional hero stories, its realism, coupled with its themes of deception, war, and conflict, will resonate with those who enjoy morally complex characters and intricate storytelling.
