Yeeeaaaah, dropped. I thought it was going to be a decent revenge porn-driven rampage, but the protagonist… is too weak.

One has to give the author this: he's trying hard to square the circle, but still failing at it.

The protagonist is supposed to be overpowered. But that would turn him into a Mary Sue.

So, what does the author do? Why, whip up the most ridiculous amount of plot armour I've ever seen in a rampaging protagonist.

He takes on explosions, but is supposedly vulnerable to bullets. So the author makes him fast enough and with kinetic vision to dodge bullets. When the barrage makes it impossible to dodge… he blocks it with the sword, which is seriously a gross violation of suspension of disbelief. I get it: being invulnerable would be boring, so the author's copping out like there's no tomorrow. Talk about shoddy.

And the worst of all. Because he's trying to make him rampage, and yet not be so overpowered that it stops being thrilling, the author creates all sorts of fantastic, idiotic reasons for the forces of law and order not to attack him when they could and would. "Capture him alive", "make a free path to him", "let's watch him". So the enemies hold back the big guns, throwing in some fodder from time to time so it still resembles a rampage for readers. The oldest trick in the book, making the opponents idiotic. It's edgy, but stupid, so there's nothing left for me to enjoy in the end.

Poor author, chose an impossible premise from the start. Well, he might learn something from it. Or not.

Yeah I feel like the author didn't have a direction in mind when he/she started this series

If he don't kill the guy in the next chapter because of some useless bullshit, I'll drop this.
Finally a revenge story with a MC who is written for revenge, but it has to be done by someone who can't write a good story...

Everyone's here talking about whether or not they should drop this manga and here I am thinking about how the security guard was reading Warble.

question: why this manhwa titled rooftop "sword master"- the guy's just smashing stuff with it like a hammer and throwing it like a spear

He is the Asian hulk. Hulk did something similar to the tank when he fights right?

pretty sure the US would sell out Korea for a super soldier stronger than korea's army any day.
Just put some propaganda how Korea's gov was corrupt and how US is saving Korea.

@Kendama I feel you I am just reading this cause I already invested time in it but it's gonna get cancelled or end soon so why tf not. People are really calling this amazing when it's just boy gets bullied and his dumb parents kill themselves to get justice and the kid somehow finds a magical sword that lets him grow 2 feet and become ripped like the rock on steroids so he decides to kill the bullies which is justified but also kill their parents less justified but then also the siblings which isn't justified in the slightest, then he decides he is going to kill everyone who gets in his way instead of just breaking their bones its a temper tantrum
