Those who regrets something wishes to change it. I agonize about the past and my current situation because that is something I don't like or even hate it. We can't change the past to fit our wish, the past is something we're familiar with, the present we distain and the future that scares us; that is exactly how our main character feels and lives. But why can he change, and not us?

Art - 8.2/10
The art is consistently strong, effectively capturing both the emotional tone and atmosphere of the story. The story is filled soft slice of life panels in addition to action-packed panels with detailed ... illustrations to emphasize strength, urgency or horror.

Story - 8.4/10
The story seems quite simple, and it is: a shut in starts playing a random game and it appears that the people in the game are actually real. The author could've left it alone just there: have our main character try to make the villagers happy or content and we'd also be content, and he does that, but better.
The story is something I believe would hit close with many: a failed man at the center of the story with mistakes and regrets just piling up with no sight of it stopping.

The villagers are faced with hardships and our main character is just watching there: starting at the monitor and be able to influence them little by little to progress the game further. But why would they progress? Why would the villagers in a game be able to progress? Why is it that they can overcome their hardships and not him?
From observing the villagers our main character he concludes that he is worthless, while some character in the game has actual importance around them. Our main character observe the villagers' behavior, their bravery and their drive to survive and uses their drive to push himself further; encouraging him to improve and be better. He found a fuel to drive himself forward, he found people that faced hardships, he found role models to be a human: striving to be better.

Characters - 8.4/10
The characters in the story felt like humans: with their own aspirations, emotions and stories. We could place ourselves in any of these characters and pass them as the protagonist of their own story. I believe that the interactions and behavior from the characters is what elevated the story to further levels.

Personal View - Very good.
I actually read around 5 chapters a few years ago and I'm happy that I dropped it: because otherwise I wouldn't understand a good story of someone who has regrets but finds that the people around him are able to look past his troubles and help him to be better. The small changes for our main character, just going outside, going to the store, anything that we just deem as a daily task is incredibly challenging for him. But what he finds is something that is able to put his mind off the negative and regretful thoughts and strives to help others while improving himself.

Overall - 8/10 or is it?
I'd say 8/10 is a fair assessment, the story, art and character is well rounded and would at least make it to 7.6/10 for those who are unable to relate to the story further than just to appreciate it at face value. But for people who relates to having regretful thoughts and is every day attempting to change and improve may view it in a better way.
I'd actually like to see a continuation of this story: for our main character to improve, understand the world of the game while helping the villagers survive.

This series was something, I don't even remember what happened towards the last 30 chapters. I had these sequences of just reading it and me finally waking up from a weird fever dream to find myself in a weirder time than my dream. The only satisfaction I found myself to remember from reading it was from the first like 40 chapters, after that it just kept doing something that I never got interested in.

Art - 5/10
Just plain, can't talk more about this since it was just plain art style from beginning to end: no highs, no lows (except if you were to call the whole ... series as a low).

Story - 5.5/10
The only reason I gave it above 5 was because of the satisfaction from the first 40 chapters and a unique ending arc. However it doesn't erase my opinion of it being so forgettable I literally complained whenever I saw this series updated: "when will it be over" - probably me each week after chapter 80.
The series tried to be smart but the issue is the execution, since the only smart person (in general for all these power tripping op manhuas self insert) is the main character, but we all know how a Kirito (anime ver.) still acts (less than smart, but acts smart).
The only unique thing that I could actually give a little bit of credit was because of the unique plot twist:

**Spoiler section, part of story segment**
That everything was in VR, ando ur main character's goal (I think) was to attain the earth code (or something) to save the real world from collapse. I thought this was unique and should be appreciated since it was a wild ass pull to make it more interesting and it was, except for when I woke up from a fever dream to see a character clad in Naruto's Six Paths chakra mode, that made me loudly say: "what the f###?"
**End of spoiler section, part of story segment**

Characters - 4.6/10
It should probably be "Character" since everything revolves around our main character, sure the author attempted to build character for other characters, but physical strength isn't character: it's a lazy excuse of writing which results in nothing for the story, it would still in the end just fall back to our main character to save the day. It's just reader's satisfaction, nothing noteworthy, more like brainrot.

Personal View - Happy it's over.
Happy it's over.
Happy to not repeat "uuuh, this again" every week when a new chapter got released.
Happy to not see this updated alongside another series which I thought was literally the same because of the title, art style and small plot points, because this is just a CTRL+C and CTRL+V from all brainrot power tripping op main character.

Overall - 5/10 or is it?
It's actually closer to 4.5/10. Nothing noteworthy, except for the spoiler section in story segment.
Would actually not recommend, but if you like a plain story power-tripping-self-insert main character like Kirito, then go for it.

This series has been quite enjoyable from start to finish and I've always been able to remember the story whenever a new chapter popped up. As I followed the series from it's earlier chapters it had a certain appeal to me, even though it fell short in various aspects. And if I were to look at it now it would fall into mediocracy, a rating between 5/10 and 6/10.

Art - 5.7/10
The artstyle in the series has not been any remarkable, and is more or less bland for it's kind. However the artstyle has it's charms and has remained steadfast from start to finish. The artstyle ... is not particullary exciting nor different but it's story is what elevated this series further.

Story - 6.4/10
The story is what makes series more enjoyable and compensates for the artstyle. The earlier stages of the series is what hefty carried how I rate this series. The early stages had this smuggness and satisfaction whenever our main character accomplished something, but as the story progressed and didn't allow the story to properly explain what they were doing (from scientific terms) it felt increasingly more flimsy.

Characters - 5.3/10
The characters are what mostly impacted the overrall score, since the only characters that was more or less explored was the protagonist and antagonist. In the case of our protagonist and antagonist we could extend it into two individuals that was explored respectively (four people in total). But the remaining part of the cast is what didn't develop, except their end goal; be better (more or less), just what any side character would think when comparing themselves to the main character.

Personal View - meh
As I have mentioned before; it has been an enjoyable series but what drags it down was the later chapters of mushed and rushed content with weak explanation or just unconvincing, nonsensical excuses for different phenomenons, alongside it's weak character cast. The characters didn't properly develop and felt like multiple Kibas from Naruto, just there to make our protagonist appear more superior.

Overall - 6/10 or is it?
This series is an overall 6/10 based on the factors I have mentioned, however from my personal bias it would result in a 7/10 (or 6.6/10). Super Genius DNA, or how I have known it as: I'm The Only One With Genius Dna, isn't something I would recommend to others. It simply occupies a place in my manga list, like Kiba's presence in Naruto.

Well, this series was a solid 7/10 or 8/10 in the beginning but it went hard in a downwards spiral of rushed and random content.
It actually went down harder than my cat's health (miss ya buddy).

Art - 6.6/10
The art was fine to good throughout the story, nothing AMAZING but it was good. I don't really have anything special to say about it, it was more or less bland.

Story - 5.6/10
The story felt quite weak from start to finish, why it captured my eyes was that: hey, zero to hero powertrip. Nothing was really unique about this story, the only unique thing here from all ... of the other manhwas about dungeons and leveling systems is the title, that more or less describes how this story would unfold. (Heavenly Demon Instructor, Backseating Heavenly Demon)

Characters - 4.3/10
Like nothing really happened with the characters' development. It all more or less depended on our MC's powers to save everyone, just like almost every else manhwas about systems, that the MC is God and the world revolves our MC.

Personal View - Should've just axed it before it went to poop.
The ending is what made me actually give this series a lesser rating than I actually would have given it.
The last like 20 or 30 chapters was so forgettable, every week I saw the new chapters I was like: "Hey, this series got updated, I should just drop it. But I'm already 80 chapters in, so I can't, I'm too invested" or just "What was this series now again? What happened last chapter?", "Who's this guy? What's the name of the MC now again?" (Henceforth I have referred our main character as MC, since I forgot his name, his name is probably like Park Taehynn)

Overall - 6/10 or is it?
From a general standpoint and personal viewpoint it would be a solid 6/10, not good and not the worst series I have read/seen. This series is quite forgettable, just generic.
But from a critical viewpoint it's more or less a 5/10 or 4/10. (5/10 is purely mid)
