Fairly entertaining and engrossing dungeon/power fantasy manhwa with a bit of a twist.

Story: 8/10
The premise is something I have never seen done before in the numerous power fantasy manhwa I've read. The focus of the story is someone else (MC) rather than the regressor that we're so used to reading. As for everything else, the story is pretty similar to what power fantasy manhwa have to offer. Not that that's a bad thing.

Art: 8/10
Art is great, with the dark atmosphere created with the colours used. The action paneling is straightforward as well. The character designs are great for the side characters, they could've been better ... with the main characters.

Character: 8/10
MC is a very manipulative person and it is very entertaining for the reader to predict what he'll do next. Some side characters are very annoying and sometimes just badly written. Otherwise, most of them are cliches but satisfactorily written.

Enjoyment: 8/10
This was quite entertaining to read, and I recommend this to anyone who likes manipulative and antihero-type MCs.

I'm sorry to say this but after season 2 this just isn't the same story. It's not the same genre, those are not the same characters and the feel is completely different.

The hook this webtoon had on me in the beginning was crazy. How is Lee going to deal with this yet another insane situation? What's he going to come up with? And honestly the story was exciting every episode. I just loved the psychotic characters and their schemes to survive. The story changes once they leave the tutorial (?) a lot but the story still holds together.

Eventually Lee really does climb up the ... social ladder like he wanted to and has seemingly endless amount of money and power. That's when things start to go stale. Every time there are more and more crazy girls in love with him, they even fight amongst themselves for him. Some cringey boomer type scenes come up more often. And what was holding the story together before, which to me were the four main characters interacting and their will to survive, are just absent. Even though there were many girls before it never felt like a dumb harem and now it's just your regular isekai. I have never seen a great character like Lee become an "adorkable" normie, so late into the story.

To be honest, maybe they should've just ended this webtoon sooner. I loved the art and the pacing of the story and most of all the characters. They have now become boring and borderline unbearable. I stopped caring, even though technically few things have actually been resolved. The art has changed also unfortunately. Overall I recommend this webtoon but only until the season 2 or maybe even earlier that that.

This needs a Harem tag!

To start off with this MC is NOT a kind, nice or even sympathetic. He is SUPER manipulative and knows how to use everyone, he is fake and will use anyone and anything. Everyone around him is stupid, including the regressor which those two things made me want to drop it however I was rooting for character development or something. It will definitely not happen he is basically a evil MC.

As of chapter 16 he had 2 girls added to his future big harem. I had to search it up to make sure the manhwa didn't just give off the vibe ... and it is definitely a harem.

The art is hmm at times really good but at other times bad, bad to where you think "How could this be the same author"
