Poe's law in action. Please note that if you aren't an isekai harem enjoyer, this series is definitely worth a try. It's a mature and dark fantasy story, and while it is technically isekai, it doesn't follow typical Japanese tropes of the genre.

It’s mature and dark lmaoooo

You like NTR? You like violent tsundere characters too? This manhwa is just for you!
Designed for Japan's masochistic nature, you manga enjoyer will find this pleasant! Feels like home!
With super dum-dum characters, you will not be disappointed even if the story is bad. Well it's decent, so no worries there!

NTR? What are you talking about? Are you referring to the Wyvern girl, where there was nothing besides friendship with the MC? Or the Trap, where there was also nothing but comradeship with the MC?

I am genuinely confused on what you're referring to.

Nothing, first paragraph most likely not referencing to this manhwa. I just write it because that's what i can think of.
You are too serious about this lol

You really are too serious about this lol

You posted this on the series discussion page. Am I wrong to be confused if your comment has nothing to do with the manwha?

I'd say it's mid, but so close to really great content. If only the updates here had all the chapters (in English), I would (re-)read it here.

I'll leave a crappy review of it below.

 

[Dirt_Lord]

its very good

I think they were talking about the dud getting changed in front of the wyvern

probably the king of manhwa blue balling. One of the few stories that actually STICKS to the 'I gotta stay low-key with my power' trope, and it's just as annoying as you'd probably expect. I've always hated the trope. Don't get me wrong, the plot in this is straight fire so if you can withstand getting constantly blue balled when it comes to him fighting and being a bad ass, go right on ahead. Me personally, I can not.

 

[Nigellus]

This shit is mid at beast. If you can, skip it.

plot is kinda good and the premises are interesting but the characters are so trash, pushovers, kinda your average isekai mc, but dumbers.

 

[WonUpped]

Truly amazing. First arc was wonderful, but soon the plot became fuzzy. But something couldn't pull me away. Each arc soon became better than the last and has no signs of stopping. Beautiful fights and messages, wonderful art, fantastically written. Truly deserving on the title of Saga. I cannot wait to see the ending.

 

[Octosketti]

Couldn't make it past the 70s after the bs ending and aftermath of the fight between Ryu and Goldy locks, shit got me tweakin' waiting for the series to be enjoyable again.

10/10 PEAK
idk what the rest of these comments yapping about this is literally PEAK and for most people in top 3 manhwas.
The art is beautiful
The story is engaging
The main character is great and despite being op at start his character keeps growing
The side characters are all entertaining and you very extremely rarely see this is any manhwas and manhuas
This has actual story and meaning and isn't just Power fighting. I think people leaving bad comments were expecting Vinland saga season 1 but got Vinland saga season 1 and 2 combined making it both entertaining fights and engaging characters n story

Author clearly doesn't know how to write tragedies well. Most likely his talents lie in comedy and light hearted stories.
Meaning fun and light hearted parts are written well, like when MC has to hide his strength or decide who to fight.
But out of 8-9/10 it becomes 5 at best is because this story has tragedy genre in it.
It's bad because of two things.
First: Every single hero/villain (outside of MC group) are evil without any chance or redemption, they try their best to ruin MC's life and any innocent person in their way (no idea how to insert a spoiler but this is your warning) for example inquisition guy or even spearman and other hunters. All are evil who are brainwashed to kill innocent people with smiles on their faces.
And reason I say that author doesn't write tragedies well is because every single time MC's group interacts with them, they become idiots. Which results in MC's group suffering, when they shouldn't.
Second: Author doesn't know how to commit. Inquisition guy is evil without any chance of redemption, yet author artificially pushes it to make him appear as a good guy. Noble who overseers a prison is evil guy that should be buried underneath a prison, yet author shows makes him look like an idiot once and all is forgotten. If you want a darker theme, just commit, because right now this story is only for masochists who enjoy frustration and seeing how MC suffers when he shouldn't (logically)

 

[SoulsSurvivor]

I remember reading this sometime ago and a lot of the comedy ruined it. Most of it was cringe and detracted from the story. Is it still like that?

 

[Demonhearts]

The more I read this... The more I got tired of it so fast... Not because the story is bad... But the formula author using is the same...

Kill monsters A, kill monsters B kill the boss who have ultimate form... And repeat...

Overall Rating: 8.6/10 – Here’s my reasoning:

SPOILERS BELOW!!! You have been warned.

Story: 9/10 The "transferred to another world with a system" trope isn’t new, but what is new is how they utilized it and made it unique and interesting. The MC is OP, but only to a certain extent—and the system is often used against the MC instead of always helping him, which I find refreshing. Additionally, it's extremely satisfying to see the story and lore progress—up until some of the recent chapters, where the pacing has slowed (which I’ll get into next).

Pacing: 7/10 Originally, I was going to give this a 9 or 10, but after the first half of the story, the pacing becomes a little confusing. We really don’t know how long he spent training, and sometimes it completely loses me—like in one of the more recent chapters. (Spoiler) He comes back with the mana crystal heart… where did he learn that? Did I miss something or forget it? Because I genuinely don’t remember him ever learning that technique. It feels like it was just added for plot convenience—because, technically, he should be dead right now. But I digress.

Character Development: 10/10 I really enjoyed watching the growth of these characters. It's rewarding to see them become more powerful over time without relying too much on plot devices or clichés. Sure, they do use some plot devices—but what’s a story without them? Plus, they don’t force a love interest on the MC, and not every girl he meets falls for him. He doesn’t have a harem, and his party is pretty balanced. (Spoiler) 3 boys and 2 girls—Leon, Ryu Han-bin(MC), Artisse, Ephyr, and Kivye. Also they don't fully rely on him and treat him as if he's their god, they know his circumstances and treat him like he's a hero, which, in this particular case, he is. He doesn't force his friends to follow them and they aren't stoic, they have lives, people and places they want to see, things they want to experience, and they want to end this era so they can live out their lives not in fear, but in peace.

That said, sometimes it’s a little too easy to guess a character’s role or backstory. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but I wanted to point it out for future readers.

Worldbuilding: 9/10 The history of this world is so rich and unique. The war, the gods, the way the story immerses you—it’s all great. Of course, don’t get me wrong, it still shares a lot with typical fantasy worlds. World Tree, medieval setting, classic fantasy races. But the way it uses those tropes—bending them to fit the story without going off the rails—is excellent. The world is also big, so they’re not just teleporting from place to place (even though I think they can). They actually have to travel using more traditional methods. (Spoiler) Okay, using Artisse and Ephyr might not be traditional—but come on, it’s a dragon and a wyvern. Who wouldn’t want to ride them?

The MC: 8/10 The reason I didn’t give him a full 10/10 is because he sometimes feels like a trauma machine, or his powers become a Deus Ex Machina—where he can overcome anything just by thinking hard enough, or something happens to where he can do something he shouldn't be able to. For example(Spoiler) how the hell did his "other personality" almost fully copy Barolt’s technique? From my memory, that was supposed to be nearly impossible. Also, yes, he’s OP—but don’t take that the wrong way. He’s strong for a very good reason, and the way he uses his strength is unique and not overpowering every single enemy that comes before him is actually really fun to read because it keeps me (and anyone else reading) on edge, wondering what will happen next.

And that concludes my essay, Hope you consider reading this masterpiece. ALSO, Let me know if i left a category out or I'm missing some important information, or just let me know if my opinion is completely wrong, but don't be rude about it, try to add on to what i said or change it.
