Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.“The son of god Gula has returned.”
I was lost in the world of gambling.
I turned my back on my family and even betrayed my lover.
I wasted every day of my life.
It was a life of tr*sh.
The reality told me thus:
That I would amount to nothing no matter what I did.
In order to change my pathetic life, I chose fantasy, instead.
Even then, it was the same story.
I wondered if salvation would come at the end of the long road.
But, I was forced to kneel down in defeat in front of a powerful entity.
The tower I built up with my own hands crumbled into nothingness.
Just for once, I dearly wished to know the truth about myself.
“Come closer, my child…”
I will not hold back this time.

Even with all that, I gotta give this story props for being the best Korean entry into dark fantasy I've read, and I tend to judge dark fantasy very harshly. If you think the gripes below will not be deal breakers for you, I really encourage you to check this story out, because despite my frustrations I'm enjoying myself and cheering for the various characters.
So here are the gripes: and honestly despite my ranting these weaknesses feel more like traditional Korean melodrama tropes exaggerated for a dark fantasy world experience, so take it with a grain of salt if you like popular Korean storytelling
The Earthlings being transmigrated as mercenaries into this world are being so badly managed it damages verisimilitude, especially when the MC graduates training with a great deal of fondness for the various instructors who did their best to make sure everyone would die when they got into the field and had their first fight. I was halfway convinced that the human companies sending recruits to this world actually had a side deal to betray their native employers to the various invading species from other worlds, but even the blackest mercenary groups do their best to ensure their soldiers survive to maintain their strength and bargaining position, reduce training costs, and loot the battlefield to maximize profits. Not to mention these people were hired at the behest of Gods the overwhelmingly strong invaders are cautious of, seems unlikely the Gods would hire people they weren't reasonably sure they could trust.
I just want to read about one Korean MC who has s*x beyond the monthly fifteen minutes of missionary position allowed by Confusion traditions. Oh, no wait it's time to be a workaholic again and just feel kinda bad and judgemental about other people enjoying their bodies. You know what, for this MC lets take our reincarnated existence and avoid love altogether because your first lifetime without love went so freakin' well!! The bad guys in this story are intimidating enough without having them shoot bullets across hundreds of yards of old-growth forests or having bullets that curve around corners into secret rooms or even having bullets at all, for that matter, since none of the Earthlings seem to be able to bring them over or recreate them on the world they're fighting for. While most of the characters in this story do a good job of fighting back and generally trying to not die, the slow-slow-slow stat growth of the incredibly underrated MC is getting a little bit old, especially since the author is repeatedly forcing him to be the hero at the tip of the spear. One example: MC, full adult male discovers a way to multiply training time so that he can spend the equivalent of 16 months in intensive workouts during basic. His physical stat rating afterward: the high end of low rating? Starting stats of every four and a half foot tall fifteen year old girl he needs to rescue: high end of high. Da f*ck?? Don't worry, in the three months of spear training, fighting, and working out since that arc before the last month of basic training, the MC's stats haven't advanced at all. Huh??
Anyway, if these sorts of frustrations aren't deal breakers, check it out. A genuine four-star rating awaits if you do.
