If the author did his research, then why did he have Simo's power involve a scope? I understand that Sinners as people are separate from their historical ancestors, but how could he goof the one famous detail of Simo?

This is a good manga. 8/10. Some dudes have superpowers and they're reincarnations of historical figures. Not realistic at all, don't come into this manga looking for real history either. This manga is about people with superpowers fighting each other and it has pretty interesting story. I recommend it.

It was good at first. I was hyped as hell. The main character was going to play EVERY side of this fight and take home every benefit.
That's just about where the story starts to become a lot less enjoyable and it never really picks back up.
He was gonna betray his comrades, take their amazing talents, it was all very in character of what we've seen from him up until then... and then he suddenly tells Immortal Solider his ENTIRE PLAN, and the Immortal Soldier just completely accepts it and is completely fine with everyone he cares about getting betrayed. Which is not at ALL in character, given that not even 2 chapters ago, he was planning on shooting first and asking questions later simply because of the SUSPICION that the main character might be a spy.
And, for some fucking reason, we then get a flashback to him telling the Musashi girl literally everything about his whole plan. I can only assume that the authors suddenly realized that they had a female main character and they needed her to remain important to the plot, so that's where the random ass flashback where she gets every piece of information came from. And for some reason, SHE doesn't care about the possibility of her entire friend group getting betrayed either. It's just like, what the fuck? Where is this confidence in this random person coming from? You've known him for a grand total of MAYBE a few weeks.

I can't believe how messed up the writing was.
The story had been a rollercoaster in a very bad way. Instead of enjoying the rollercoaster you were throwed a 180° rotation for each turn, turned upside down in a very straight line for a long time, and ran through a very long ascending track and being slapped in the end of it rather than having a great nosedive.

The author is very inconsistent in building a view of the situation. Imagine the following happen in a groups of 3-5 chapters in a row.
Not to mention that the author doesn't gave any exposition at all for the "main villain" of the arc, they just appeared and defeat the team. Same for the allies afterwards, they just appeared and disappeared in a blink of eyes.
The author failed to build the attachment needed for any of the characters, thus all of the characters felt like a noise rather than a human. There are so many stuff that happens suddenly without any exposition before.
- MC and the teams was defeated multiple times by the enemies.
- MC and the teams is destroying the enemy team so hard.
- The very same MC's allies are all slain in one chapter.

This is one of my favourites mangas, i discovery It when i read in a random website "Neumans now is a anime girl in this manga", i'm a weird guy and im fan of Neumans and i say, "hey, i going to read It"
When i start to read It i don't like so much this manga and i dropped It, but one day i was really bored and i restart to read It, and damn, when i read the chapter 20, i fall in love of this manga, is perfect, i laugh and cry with the history, found a very pretty community and in a no joke way, I'm trying to have a better life thanks to him, read It, is perfect.
10/10.

Genuinely feel like i’ve wasted an evening figuring out why I never click on this on my updates page that I check at least 3 times a day. An extremely melancholic premise and opening chapter that rushes through its premise as fast as possible. It showed a lot of promise, and at first I was excited to rediscover why I felt interest in reading this manga. There are so many cliches that substitute characterization and make developing attachments to the wikipedia articles that surround the MC very difficult. An MC with so many pivots in his characterization you can tell the author either faced opposition from editorial early on or ran out of ideas on how to progress his growth. “Why should I care about any of these characters?”. I kept reading and reading trying to answer this question; I never found an answer. I’m caught up now, and all I can say is:
4/10

On the one hand, I'm blown away at how much I enjoyed this. On the other, there are some details I thought were odd.
First off, I love the characters—I've said it before, but I can excuse quite a lot personality-wise if the characters I'm reading about have fun and creative powers/circumstances. But even after that, these characters aren't shallow at all. We get a few slower moments where it's just one person talking to another about things that hardly matter—like coffee.
Dictators/tyrants from history become heroes, and the kindest souls you'd ever read about become major antagonists. I mean, Nightingale, Cyrus the Great, and Charlie fucking Chaplin are all extremely powerful antagonists for godssake. It's awesome and exactly what I like in stories like this.
My only critique however, is the timeline. It clearly works on an arc based structure, which is fine for a manga since it's not like a book or movie wherein there's a clear and obvious conclusion. But the jumps from arc to arc are very... heavy handed? I guess. The reason I noticed, is because the stakes get higher and higher each time, which requires a certain reaction from our protagonists, which doesn't always align with their goals, motivations or thoughts, in the previous arc.
For example, at the start of the story the conflict is in actually becoming a Returner. The worst thing you need to worry about is Albert Fish or John Wayne Gacy stringing you up. The goal for our protagonist was to steal as many talents as he could. Awesome, cool, we know where we stand, great!
You want to know what the conflict is at the end? The actual end of the world. You want to know what the goal of our protagonist is then? [SURVIVE]. Seeing these two arcs side by side, tell me that isn't insane. And so I guess my problem is that individually, these stories are fun and they work pretty well outside of any relevant context. But then you put them together, and you can start to see where they begin to clash.
Going from hunting reincarnated serial killers, to facing off against the "King of Villains" (but actually he wasn't a bad guy, the bad guys are the people the protagonist has been working with), to going up against the most well known rulers in history, to then preventing the end of the world... It's a lot. That being said, the stakes had to be high if you're bringing in history's worst/best. But why they didn't start the manga that way confuses me a little. If we knew the stakes were going to be this high from the beginning, then the jump wouldn't have been so jarring.
Especially since the powers went from teleportation, future prediction, and healing to antimatter bomb creation, orbital laser and infinite darkness.
But anyway, regardless of all that, I really did enjoy this one and I'm really excited to see how it ends.
