This one is an actually good "regression"-style manwha. There's plenty of them out there, most of them don't keep you. The first few chapters are par for the course, but the pacing and content improves dramatically after about 20-25 chapters. Each arc so far is enjoyable and ties reasonably well with the others. Character development (particularly for supporting cast) is excellent for the genre, and although it's clear the author is adding things as he goes along and forgets some people exist, all long-strip manwha do the same thing. This one's a cut above the rest and earns the rating, or close to it.

P.S. As a rare treat, the translators know proper English - that helps a lot.

The grim dark stuff gets dropped pretty quick. MC finds out he didn’t know everything and starts to doubt his purpose, then bam, tension resolved. Don’t get me wrong I’m glad they didn’t drag it out for 200+ chapters and it’s the exact right time and place but there should have been a bit more of a focus on it before that point.

After that point this is more about solving the demon issues than revenge and calling this series “Revenge of” then dropping the revenge after two arcs is a bit misleading.

Also the MC wears a dog collar like a tie, and once I noticed it I couldn’t unsee it. No one else does, just him and I think that’s an amazing bit of visual character design. The art absolutely holds this whole thing together, the demons are a wondrous thing to behold, and the fight scenes are well paneled.

This does read better as a binge however and the moment to moment stuff is a bit lacking.

I've read to chapter 34 and this is probably not the "worst" in terms of writing, but certainly close. Whilst the art is flamboyant (helped by the edgy colour scheme) the characters and plot direction is mundane and often times so fully committed to fulfilling the power fantasy it's shocking. Just from the most recent arc with him getting captured by barbarians we are glossing over the fact that they're practically initially wanted to rape him (and others), that his whole "I should stay back to cut off the big scary monster that could "Destroy Kingdoms"" despite being a mid swordsman shouldn't have worked with his fiancee's uncle, and a whole lot of similar such issues that prop up.

This manhwa is fully committed to the trashy power fantasy. The protagonist has no character - that is, no personality - outside of "get stronger, get revenge, because Hugo le killed me in my le past life!!!" and his plotting is childish at best despite supposedly being 30 years old. He shows no interest in the love interest (but still gets this sort of stuff forced on him because, as a surrogate for the reader, he must get bitches shoved onto him no matter how lacking in game he is). Women are forgiven so long as they're pretty-looking and pose some sort of goodwill. It's mundane. It's typical. It's typical of the sort of power fantasy you'd see from a basement dwelling NEET who has just enough edge to make his OC the colour red instead of just being the black swordsman.

This doesn't mean I don't read nor enjoy power fantasies. However, there is ALWAYS a requirement to show, not tell, to preserve logical coherence in a story (at least to not break immersion or make the characters so stupid they're OOC) and show some originality. Something I would have expected considering that this is rated 9 stars on here.

TLDR: Read this if you're a preteen with enough angst to think that your parents are evil and immature enough to take everything at face value without thinking. Or if you are just THAT out of things to read, and desperately need something to fill the void, even at the cost of enjoyment.

That shaman fight at around episode 53~ Felt so fucking forced
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS WEAKLING RANDOM ASS SHAMAN CAN REVIVE THE STRONGEST BARBARIAN LEGEND AND MAKE HIM EVEN STRONGER TO THE POINT IT 1 HIT KO 3 S-RANK MONSTERS

Art is great, I wish the writing was on par
C'mon, I hope the writing of the latter chapters improve...

9/10, I like how the start is similiar to greek mythology. There's some parts that are questionable but overall I'd say it's worth reading.

Where the hell did all the 106 english translated chapter go? Just came to check if they uploaded another ep, and noticed they are all gone, with only Brazilian translation at the top.

Wait, where all the eng translation go?
Don’t tell me this is another case of webtoon trying to remove unofficial eng translation again…

I absolutely despise how it feels like everything is getting hit with C&Ds recently 😭 was on chapter 111.
