As usual - pointless story going nowhere. Idiotic humor for 13yo.
Korean naked ankles fashion (BTS - style should be in every manhwa).

Overall it not worth time.

Caught up to this many moons ago and am re-reading (now on chp ~128). Art is good with occasionally awesome chunks of pages. I think the premise is still fresh and interesting. I quite like the characters, though I wouldn't say anybody is really a gem. And Kibier is crazy-unholy levels of bad :aquadrink:. Ahem. Unfortunately though, I no longer care for shounen-pilled stories where the stakes are the fate of the universe, fights are oft philosophical dialogues, every new enemy is a just a little stronger than our protagonists, good guys vs evil guys, endings of chapters being tiresome cliffhangers (we know you won't jump author-san),..... If I were a young man I might still eat this up (as I vaguely recall doing years ago). 6/10 if you loved naruto and solo-levelling and 7.5/10 if you still love them.

Im at chapter 98 and I feel like a major point about the God's powers unable to be used on the angels was completely thrown aside because the author realised he can't write around that,so he had to just pretend it never existed and let the mc kill him like normal.

Not to mention,the Chinese guy from earlier somehow does not have the withdrawal effects from the drug,and it feels like the author purposely threw that out of the window to keep him alive.

The priest guy who was so adamant about mc being a otherworlder and catching otherworlders suddenly saves the Chinese guy instead.Feels inconsistent.

Anyway this arc is quite a slog,I feel like its basically been a whole lot of forgiving villains who have a sob story,which I find a bit disappointing.I thought the earlier chapters were pretty decent with mc's awesome character development.

Yap over..maybe its worth it afterwards,maybe not.Well,I guess I won't be finding out.

edit:I caught up.time to elaborate.


Otherworlder's powers being unable to be used on angels is so oftenly not used,only being mentioned once that the solution is to close your eyes fighting them,which makes no sense.
This implies the chaos god has control over the otherworlders' bodies/eyes. Bodies is extreme so let's say eyes,but that implies the god can see what the otherworlders see.

Onto withdrawal symptoms.This is another that felt like it was completely thrown out the window.Hanbin hasn't killed a single latnian human(debatable) and somehow has the drugs,which needed the dragon cure,and now the others walk around without even having those effects.Are you fr?The forbiddance spell isn't even needed then.

My new annoyance is that the goddesses are always neutral-passive but acting like they did all the work,shifting between "oh we'll just build a new world" and "we bet the goddess of darkness on this".Seems very unplanned.
They're truly at fault,ngl.

The angels and the fact that omphalos can descend while they are still doing nothing proves to me they can hardly be bothered.Freedom my ass,you're just leaving them all to die.
Between dying on one's own will and dying by force,its still death.

As for arcs,I surprisingly had at least a positive impression on them except the one where he COMPLETELY regressed to trying to be a normal human AGAIN when he already tried that on an earlier arc.
Other than that,the current arc has...much left to be desired,but that was the author's intention anyway.

Overall,I actually surprisingly enjoyed this more than I expected of slop isekai.7/10.

I'm starting to imagine a scene where Ephyr the wyvern is married to Artis (who just constantly sneaks out to get bred by Hanbin in human form like the good little dragon femboy he is, which also means Hanbin would be cheating on his future wife Kibier the goddess messenger) and still have children despite the said size disparity due to differences in wyvern and dragon that would "make mating difficult".

Also Garhan suffers from what is called "arro-fucking-gance". He basically operates on the theory of "the great man", acting like the world didn't exist before and will not exist after him. He maybe an emperor or a hero, sure. But that doesn't quite mean shit. There are other, better, more paradoxical and illogical reasons to seek godhood and immortality or even CHIM and Zero-summing like in TES rather than being gods who are closer to Daedric Princes. The widespread corruption, famine and death under his rule pretty much shows how much of an echo chamber ideology he is in, while he uses stolen power to solve problems from his thievery and calls nobles who use money to rig votes undemocratic.

Zenovia, on the other hand, is just fucking paranoid. That is all.

Edit on latest chapter 293: Overall, it was probably fun and somewhat interesting in the first season, and maybe the second. They had adventure, comedy, proper character interactions, more narrative freedom and not hell bent by the author onto something. After that, constant running and fighting against world cataclysm got really tiring, and, honestly, boring. Almost just quit reading at the end of take one, as the later seasons was forcibly steered towards power, combat and constant lore drop, and personally wasn't that fun regarding the character interaction.
