Top tier storytelling skills, main character's personality and backstory is extensively described with a lot of world building so quite deep and enjoyable as a read, but first few chapters are basically tourist filters because it's more like a prologue when the author is providing world building , I read this on webtoon and most of the comments from the first 5 chapters were like "How long is he going to stay like that just do something already!"
"I'm dropping this, nothing interesting is going on."
Not my fault that you have a short attention span, if you got bored before the main act even starts then you should just go read Dragonball Super or something where the story is always one climax after another right?
World setting is more towards wugong/kungfu instead of wuxia, so I'm glad there's no OP inner power or bullshit cultivation power scalings (haha I'm silver rank so I can kill ten bronze ranks easily with just a flick of my finger), but I was quite disappointed when I saw Qi healing Like in the classic wuxia way where the healer sits behind the patient and sends Qi into their body around the meridian points to help recover health and what not, even if an explanation was given that only around 10 people could do that in the entire Murim, and then later on we're introduced to mystic arts that the demonic sect practices that allows them to become human radios via long range telepathy, an explanation is again given that they are emitting vibration signals that act somewhat like frequencies in Morse code, good explanations but both still ruined the world setting a tiny bit for me
Combat panels, are drawn clearly so you could see with your own eyes how martial artists fight, from the trajectory of the attacks to the impacts after landing/blocking it, instead of just light pollution white flashes™️ or flurry of blurry attacks™️ most other works tend to do that takes up the entire page. At least that's until the Orthodox-Demonic war where it's too chaotic and it's quite hard to follow all of the weapons flying around
A well deserved 9/10 good read, ending with 53 chapters for the first season.

This guy above is almost right, it's not the first 5 chapters, it's the first 10 chapters that are so incredibly boring you'll start asking you'll start asking yourself if this author is brain dead like the MC. The trope of a master of martial arts being too lazy to lift a finger, but when they do they're amazing is such a boring trope. It's like knowing the solution to puzzle but implementing it at the last moment because you want to build up the tension to relieve it at the end. If it takes you an hour to read the first 10 chapters, that's an hour wasted.
