An action manhwa about the adventures of a barbarian warrior roaming through the world in a medieval setting. The pacing is great, the story is original and, even without any major unexpected twist in the first season, it's never predictable. The story has recurring themes, such as the nature of religion and faith, the beauty of knowledge, its value and the price for curiosity, accompanied from time to time with brief reflections on fanatism, on friendship, maturity, responsibility or ambition. All of the aforementioned themes are always treated with great care and maturity as their expositions progressively acquire more and more depth, never causing the manhwa to stray from its action essence.
The action sequences are truly impressive, both in terms of aesthetics and of realism: the tactics, the techniques, the weapons, the armors actually working as they should, this all fills me with joy. More in general this is one of the most realistic depictions of a medieval setting that I've ever seen in fiction. The absence of firearms even has a lore explanation, as Europe is not connected with Asia trough land.
The artwork is fenomenal and so many characters (mainly males because there very few females in this story) are just wayy too hot.
