Novel 10/10, Manhwa 8/10

by David9513
9 months ago

Rating: N/A

In the manhwa, the artists added a bunch of reference to manga and anime. Honestly it wasn't necessary. Some content are also different than the novel version. The most obvious one will be the case of the priestess Kim Yeri. In the novel, the vibe was more dark. I guess the artists were among those readers who aren't fine with it and thus censored that part.

Conflating Machiavellianism with Intelligence

by Legatosmash
1 year ago

Rating: 2.0 / 10.0

The protagonist is portrayed as intelligent... His decisions are often based on sociopathic presumptions, however, and his logic is not sound half the time. The fact that he is not punished makes it seem like the author is suggesting that his misanthropy is somehow a replacement for sound critical analysis. The story keeps telling us (as opposed to showing us) that he's smart, but "the lady doth protest too much, methinks."

I'm in love ❣️

A cunning, manipulative and ambitious MC. An antihero that's likeable and funny.

And I don't mind if the FL is a yandere. She is the perfect definition of a really creepy yandere and I like their compatibility. They compliment each other.
Most of the time I find female characters to be annoying but so far all of them are amusing and essential to the ML. I'm loving all the girls and I don't mind the harem elements of this. But the ML is NOT harem seeking BTW. The girls are just completely crazy about him.

And I'm completely hooked and loving this manhwa.

dropped at ch. 9

Nope. This ain't it.

Pacing is uneven. Characters are not interesting. MC is not crafty or intelligent, he's not strategic in how he uses people. He's just got a gross, icky holier-than-thou attitude that makes him think he's smarter than everyone else. Since everyone is dumbed down to the max, it's quite easy for MC to stand out.

Annoying Female Lead

by PotatoHunter

Rating: 1.0 / 10.0

The story could have been better if they change the FL with a normal person or removed her entirely. It was funny at first, but now it's just plain annoying. Edit: It's getting worse.

Up to now it's great...

by Joese

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

The premise is not too original but good, showing some side characters that actually think and a very crazy main cast. As PotatoHunter says the female lead is way too exaggerated it to the point no one noticing or the MC telling her anything becomes absurd.

Edit: most church related characters/gods are 2D. People the MC randomly blames and

Republic guys, do think, but end up falling to the MC (usually with a push from the plot armour or some crazy BS that's entertaining)

Since I've read more on the novel I'll probably drop it at certain points ... The whole advantage of the MC is seeing others statuses it really disappointed me when he started playing mind games to recruit the fifth member. It just shows the huge prejudices some some Asians have towards the poor and against the ones that help them. It's clear the author has never gone to anywhere remotely dangerous or similar to the slums ,bad people do bad things to everyone it's imposible for someone that had been 3 years helping in that sort of place not to know how to move in the slums.

Edit the same thing happens later on in case within the bearable But I do recomend skipping:
375: Fact Always Wins -381:holy war ...

Very true, this man is a disciple of Lelouch. Why risk your life soloing when you can manipulate people to carry you? That is the MC's mindset. It gets even better later too when things get political.

Code "Isekai" Lelouch should be so proud of this MC.
