Although most of you probably reading are thinking well it's another one of those power fantasy isekai's just looking at the title, DON'T BE FOOLED. This story is very much the opposite of that with the main focus being rehabilitation of a twisted and sick MC. He isn't given a ton of power immediately and the progression of the MC is not his strength or standing in the world it's the ability to cope with past wrongs and correct mistakes he should have done in his past life.

This manga is a refreshing take on the isekai genre that is muddled with a gazillion solo-leveling/mushoku ... tensei copies that frankly are so unoriginal it is painful to read. Through reading this story you get a cool look at how power influences an individual and how only when you get put down and lose everything can you truly appreciate the qualms of a regular cleaner.

The characters from what little has been put out are honestly great, the main character Junu Kim is exactly what you would think an asshole would be like, he's unforgiving, deceitful, just the whole package but that's what makes him so cool to see as you get to take a peek of a person that's the reached the pinochle lose everything and then have to change their attitude. The side characters of Minju Kim and his compatriots that help him with cleaning are a great addition to the story and have their own little goals which makes them so much more exciting to see.

Overall, this is a great new series that has a ton of potential, although not much has been released I'm sure it will be a top series in the future.

7.5/10


I’ve read this manwha three separate times; Not in the way you are thinking where I reread each chapter because of how good it is, but instead, I read the initial 4 chapters three times before I decided to bash my brain in and move on. The initial chapters are one of the most infuriating and boring things to sit through, but it gets much better from there.

This manwha does two things remarkably well: the supporting characters and the medium of comedy. Notice how I didn’t say the mc, but I’ll get to that. The side characters are well-developed and have a reason to ... be there because of their use to the mc. However, around the late 20s in the chapters, more and more are being introduced and less and less attention on the older characters are given.

The comedy aspect of this manwha comes from the trope of misunderstanding. Everyone misunderstands that the mc is an angel to care for his friends, but in actuality, he doesn’t care for people and wants to use them to unlock his former skills. Now, my gripe with the mc is that he doesn’t develop as a person at all throughout the chapters. He’s a stagnant character that never really learns appreciation and if there is any development, it’s a bait by the author to drive the plot/have comedy. The manwha doesn’t have much action nor tension because of the conflict being recycled countless times with nothing new.

All in all, the manwha isn’t for people who like action heavy content with an op mc, but it is for people who enjoy misunderstanding manwhas with side character development.

Chapters
