TL;DR: Overall the plot is generic for the most part, but has been executed well. And a good MC. It meets the quality of other great korean web comics.
Story has been generic so far but the good generic. MC has a set goal from the very beginning, giving it a different vibe than other stories where the modern day man has to fight monsters. He has had time to steel himself before anything happens due to his prior knowledge. It takes a while for any world building to start as little information is given in the beginning. As of the latest chapter I am writing this (chp. 42) it feels slow and plain because of the way it is world building. We are seeing the world through a 3rd person perspective hearing thoughts of the mc mainly but others as well. Even though the MC knows the future, the future point isn't explained to us right away. Instead we tend to move the main perspective quickly to a different character where we then learn what the MC knows through someone else's mind before switching back to the MC. A tactic commonly used in stories revolving someone know the future. The story is predictable by the fact that it gives clues to the plot throughout the plot. Allowing you to predict certain key points before it happens. Building on our anticipation of something happening over the curiosity of it. (Though it still has mysteries). Similar to "Solo Leveling" where you predict our MC will do something and the excitement and adrenaline of imagining it makes you more excited to see it, all be it a much lesser extent. The MC, Yun-jae to me feels human where you can understand his thought process and can relate to most emotions he expresses. For me it ranks below "Solo Leveling" purely just on the fact that we see the growth of Sung-woo in SL alone. And I rank solo leveling below "Omniscent Reader's Viewpoint" <-- READ THIS if you haven't already, it is the perfect mix of this series and solo leveling in the best way possible.
