An absolute stunner of a read, an honest 10/10, beautiful choreography along with the most heart-wrenching moments you can imagine out of what should be a shonen. The characters are so easy to get attached to, including the temporary ones, and the ups are higher than anything you can imagine, and the lows are low enough to make you feel bad for the characters. Each moment and each arc has its brilliance to it, and even though the writing may not be on par with something like the likes of Vagabond, it's the fact that each moment during the read is an absolute ride of ... emotions, I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to feel a sense of exhilaration, paired with the perfect amount of despair. Though the plot is basic and the power of friendship is always stronger and whatever yadayada, I think this is where it is portrayed in the greatest way, where rather than just random BS, there's real reasoning and understanding about how everything was able to happen. Of course, using Wukong or Jaecheondaeseong and his real powers and a mix of a fake more realistic power is just the perfect mix, an honest-to-God, amazing read. Thank you Yongje Park for your work.

The story starts out good, characters are growing as chapter progresses & the pacing is just right, unlike the anime which is rushed. But as you reach the end of the first season (or chapter as how it is defined by the author) everything becomes overblown, everyone is now overpowered, & there are things that doesn't make a sense. Though it will be explained later on, you will see the inconsistencies. A lot of times as well, a character will have a super power revealed (that is overkill) & will only be explained after a few chapters has passed. It's also somehow off-putting that everything ... has a plot twist (which doesn't have any foreshadowing) and judging by the scene it doesn't even need that plot device at all. Overall, if you like over the top action, like the Dragon Ball Series, and you don't mind lots of plot twist then you will at least appreciate this webtoon.

This is horrible

Artwork is some of the worst I've ever seen. MC is an obnoxious idiot. There is zero buildup for any of the fights. Where is the drama? Where is the suspense? I don't think I've ever read a more shallow battle story before. If something like Tenjou Tenge (which is very similar in structure) is an average 5/10 then this is negative 10? The interactions between the characters are bizarre and unnatural. Maybe it's just the really bad artwork but none of these characters feel real. The tone is all over the place. MC will be battling for his life one page and ... then the next page is nonsense comedy. I suppose if all you want is just really bad artwork of people punching each other then this is it...
