This action fantasy manhwa follows a swordsman sent back in time after being killed by his family, now seeking revenge.

Story: 4/10
The regression revenge premise is generic and executed poorly so far. The worldbuilding is muddled, with inconsistent lore and terms. Pacing is uneven.

Art: 5/10
The art is below average for the genre. Action scenes lack impact and characters have lifeless expressions. Backgrounds are sparse.

Characters: 4/10
The brooding MC lacks nuance or appeal. Supporting characters are one-note antagonists so far. Needed more distinct personalities.

Enjoyment: 4/10
Between the confusing story, dull art, and flat characters, I struggled to get invested or compelled to continue reading.

With an overused premise and subpar execution, this failed to impress me in any area. I'd recommend finding a better take on regression manhwa.

I hate stories like these that focus on "REVENGE" yet don't kill, at least kill his dad and those two bully brothers. The dad for allowing them to do what they did which had a chance of killing him, and the two brothers for non stop bullying and attempted murder!
A good beating to the rest with the exception of the 3 who didn't vote for his death. If you don't want to have a character that murders then don't do the plot about revenge, instead the author could have aimed for him to have a "I just want to live my best life this time ... around and find happiness" plot yet the author chose revenge and failed to do it. The MC ONLY wants to beat them to "teach them a lesson" even though they literally try to kill him in chapter 1 and then another sister again tried to kill him after he went back in time and would have if it weren't for someone else stepping in.

The story itself is just so horribly written, the art isn't any better, It looks good in some moments then bad in others, the MC isn't even a lovable character. He isn't written out to be hated but he also isn't written out to be loved or looked up to...if anything he seems a bit stupid and the type you want to slap for how he views things about ONLY wanting to teach his family a lesson while seeking revenge.

Not to mention the "THING" that helps him of course is drawn as a child/male loli and not to mention this is more of a martial arts story than a fantasy even though it had the fantasy tag and no martial arts tag.
