I found this kind of lacking and just kind of Eh. All together it's not a bad story and it does have it's moments of fun. But for the most part it barely held any of my attention and just kind of had nothing but Cliches.

~~Spoilers~~
From reading the description itself i thought that the story was gonna be the reincarnation of a hero that has forgotten his memories and him slowly gaining them back over time, And him also finding one of his former companions sealed in a tomb and her being release.

That or i thought it was just gonna be dude finds hidden ... and sealed away hot chick that turns out to be very powerful and a legend of old times.

But no we are given a cliche of the MC being worthless and not good at all. Yet he somehow get's these powers or equipment that turns him into a godlike being. Also there is a harem involved so that is also annoying.
~~Spoilers over~~
While it's not bad, It's not great either and just doesn't do anything new or of interest.

The story starts off pretty well explaining whats going on and explains the premise of the story. But I feel like the more the story goes on the story becomes very inconsistent on how well it is paced. Sometimes the story is very slow for plot progression and sometimes its too fast. It has its plus and negative points and really depends on person to person

If you have nothing to read then go ahead and read this its not bad but its not that good. The Art style could be better as it is sometimes hard to notice some details in fights. The characters are ... pretty well rounded on their own basis. The story is semi predictable in which case it wont feel like you are reading the MC's mind but you have a slight hint on what is going to happen

6.9/10


TL;DR: An excellent time waster but nothing special.

I don’t know what it was about this manga that made me read so many chapters, but this had me engaged — emphasis on past tense. By no means did this story have a lackluster or weak start, since the beginning and introduction had me hooked onto the mc’s progression and development with the side of mystery, but as the story continued, I no longer saw any of the redeeming qualities.

To start off with, the plot of this manga is weak — very weak. From the get-go after the second arc, it was apparent that the manga ... was just rinse-and-repeating the same conflict over and over again until it’s over. Once that was over, I thought I had a breather and something interesting to look forward to, but the manga instead randomly inserts antagonists and villains without much explanations, which killed the whole slow-pacing and meticulously crafted world-building.

Before I rant about the characters, I must note that all of them are likable. However, besides for this one attribute, none of them are memorable nor are they evenly developed. To elaborate, there are three obvious heroines. From the three obvious heroines, only one of them had ample development through their non-rushed arc, whereas the rest did not.

As for the main character, he’s a good character, but there’s none of the sweet progressions that makes his progress enjoyable — instead, there are tons of deus ex machina or forced power-ups where the mc survives just in time, etc. As for his training, most of it is offscreen, which is disappointing. There’s also tons of mystery around him that the plot never dives into — perhaps it does in the later chapters — besides for a few mentions here and there as a reminder, not an actual plot point.

For what it’s worth, I enjoyed this possibly more than I should have despite all of the plot armor and forced developments that accompanied the mc’s journey, but this also became something I didn’t want to read anymore; there was no longer any real interest to keep opening the next chapter and learn more and more about the story, which was the deal-breaker for me.
