It's a classic hero journey. Well written.

westenized manhwa with super dumb story. Reading about some kid go to school? Really? Authors have no imagination, only copy this generic garbage trope and make it even worse.

As someone who had gotten far in the novel, I wouldn't recommend it for the average reader. At its core, it's a slow-burn slice-of-life story with a heavy emphasis on the protagonist succeeding purely through effort. There's some action, but not a lot.

I really liked the start, it slowly became meh. I loved the start of the story. How everyone slowly starts to reform their opinions on him. Their opinion of him going from the weak little soyboy crybaby to the neurotic obsessive pathologically engaging in maniacal physical exertion to improve himself as a swordsman all because of the dream he had about the old man.

They completely halted that entire plotline the second he went to that stupid school. It went from what I described above, a story about the main character almost pathologically obsessed with the sword, to a friendship and teamwork slice-of-life manhwa, which was a huge mistake. They really built up the old man and his influence on the main character, just to shrug it off to the sidelines for... who knows how long, if they ever even brought it up again after the main character decided that he needs to 'become his own swordsman' without relying on the old man.

I think everyone else is too harsh on this seires. Althogh I agree that the swordmanship school part definietly slows the story, the "slice-of-life"-- if that is not your thing, you will not enjoy it-- there are still fight scenes and the charactors still progress. Its not like it all ends and nothing happens anymore. It is a bit slow which is why I would not recomend it to everyone, but if you thought the inital premiss of becomeing stronger with just will and effort was intresting, you should give it a try.

8.5/10

As someone who is actually caught up: my biggest issue with the seried is that we never really get to see him train after the school arc, it just time skips to after he's learned the skill/gotten stronger/the next plot point happens which is a shame since I really like training arcs
