Preliminary (129/201 chp)
Awful, awful comic, for all the reasons listed below:

- Ridiculously overpowered mc, which wouldn't be bad if it weren't for the fact that the author glazes him to high heaven in every scene he's in
- The mass-produced manhwa artstyle (just look at almost every top-manhwa on Webtoon), which is charactersitically over-saturated, grainy, too cartoonish, and generally personality deficient (i.e. lacking any real edge)
- The World of Warcraft type plot-structure, and lack of interesting character dynamics or creative fight scenes, which in practical terms means that there is no incentive to read the story besides the self-insert, male power-fantasy aspect of it
- The half-assed attempts at intertwining different story-lines and expanding on the premise, which are always sidelined anyways in favor of said glazing (OH MY GOSH HE'S SO FUCKING HOT AND STRONG OMG HOLY SHIT I'M CUMMING AAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! HUAUIOPA HSYDFH AIDBASDHYASDHIPASHDG PIUH HOLY SHIT HE'S ON THE NEWS I'M LOSING IT!!!!!!!! x420 XD)
- No real threat to the mc's life ever materializes, since any conflict that is built up eventually fizzles out because the battles are postponed until they're no longer a legitimate challenge for the mc (take Hwang Dongsoo for instance)
- This series, unlike a good manga such as Hunter x Hunter, has no clearly defined rules within the universe for how powers work or what limits exist (with the exception of some of the mc's abilities) - largely because it's not necessary when the mc chows down on most his opponent as if they were wet noodles anyways
- Sexist as fuck: All the women are thrown in solely for fanservice, and then quickly replaced once they've served their masturbatory purpose, so as to not have to develop any of them (I don't usually throw out the sexism allegations, but this time I feel like it's warranted)

For clarification, I read this only because the anime adaption had kept me interested for the first two episodes; it wasn't amazing, but in the very least it was entertaining. Though, when I read the manhwa, it quickly dawned on me that the author had zero intention to develop anything that made the first two episodes mildly intriguing. Nonetheless, I ran through a whopping 129 (!!!) chapters, knowing it would suck, out of boredom - then I thought "Why not write a short review summarizing my own bad life decisions?". So here we are.

That's a couple hours of my life I will never get back, which is my own fault, but still...
