Tons of people gave this series a lot of bad reviews. Let me say this, they are dimwits who don’t know the depth of this story. I’ll start off with season 1 review and then a season 2 review.

Season 1:

I initially read the manwha first and then started reading the novel afterwards. The novel near the end of the season is really good, all though before that it’s just a normal story. The manwha as well isn’t a crazy good manwha at season 1, it’s just a cliche story that... more>> goes by. The ending and set up for the rest of the story makes it amazing though. It was unique so that’s why I gave it a try, and unique it was. Cliche story, but world building was very unique in season 1. Reread the novel again, and I can confirm everything I said.

Season 2:

This is where the entire series gets amazing, a bit confusing at the start but oh so worth it. I loved the mass amount of chaps in this series.
The world building which was already good, started to expand by an infinite amount. Like there’s no real number you can put on how unique this series becomes. Crazy plot twists, and finding out how every event was connected. Side characters are pretty good and it’s very fun learning more about them. We also find out about a lot of things that were discussed in season 1, but wasn’t as much depth back then. MC is amazing, determined and hardworking, motivational for sure. Seeing him power himself up to fight entities that could destroy a multiverse is extremely interesting. From what I heard, the ending is also a nice twist.

Overall: (Both seasons feel like different series so I’ll rate them separately)

Season 1:

plot: 7/10

MC: 7/10

Side characters: 6/10

world building: 9/10

Villian: 10/10

Pacing: 9/10

Writing style: 5/10

Season 2:

Plot: 9/10

MC: 10/10

Side characters: 9/10

Pacing: 9/10

Villians: 20/10

World building: inf/10 (no joke in this)

Writing style: 9/10

Finally, it’s a really unique series with an extremely vast universe and power systems. For anyone who wants something different with lots of content and a good MC, this is worth it. <<less

I don't like writing reviews but this one I felt I had too because it irked me so much after reading as much as I probably shouldn't. Haven't read the manwha so no clue if it's better.

I picked this up because was something to read that I haven't yet. That's all it's good for. Not the best read and by far not the worst. Lot of clichés and unemotional MC or well he's just numb to everything but his goal of must defeat the Lord.

What makes me leave a review... more>> is it should have stopped after 1st season/book. It ended nicely. There was no need to explore more. That was a 4/5 for just being an easy read.

The 2nd season/book well after reading soooo much of it I can say its crap. I've been suffering through it trying to figure out what the author wants to tell, but it feels like the author is even lost in all the nonsense they created. Really throwing crap at walls, seeing what sticks, and hoping no one notices that they have no clue what going on either. Book 2 is 2/5 only because theres a tiny few concepts I like, but who knows where author going with those now as they keep doing nonsensical writing ruining any good flow to story. :/ <<less

For season it is for me 5 Stars.

Season 2 is for me 3 stars so 4 stars overall

... more>>
Spoiler

The story in season 1 is in my opinion really good and I enjoyed it to read.

Season 2 I do not like that much for me it has not really to do something with season 1 and the novel title

Lukas became an Absolute (basically that is a god) for me it's sad that we don't see the growth there we start when he is already the 6 most powerful existence in the whole universe only the 5 absolutes are stronger than him the 4 rulers and 1 Lord I liked the first season bcs we could see his growth he struggle to beat up the enemies but in season 2we skip directly to the top where only 5 other beings are a threat to him. The absolute saves worlds but we do not see this really I hoped the second season will be like some chapters on this planet and after he "saved" this world he will go to the next I stop for now reading this novel I wait for another 200-300 chapters to be translated and see where it goes.

[collapse]

So I highly recommend this novel at least Season 1 it is really great for season 2 you might like it I read a lot of comments stating that they like it really well it's up to you :) <<less

I picked up this novel after reading the manhwa adaptation, my first impression for this novel was good, great even - it had a good story, fun characters, some world building and it could have just keep on getting better but as things soon progress pass a hundred or some chapters, it soon turned into somewhat of a mess, with plotlines and foreshadowing being ignored or scrap, with how the world building and characters being underdeveloped near the end of season one.

I'll put here my opinion on the overall meat... more>> of this novel
Spoiler

.

  • The main character at the beginning was decent, he shown normal emotion, interacted with characters fairly decently but awkward at times and as he grows stronger he becomes more and more dull and almost like a one dimensional character.
  • Supporting characters and side characters are mostly here to prop the main protagonist up. If you have a favorite supporting/ side character you like, don't expect them to be flush out.
  • For the power scaling of the main protagonist and main villain, the best comparison for me on their gradual power increase maybe best compared to Bleach or Dragon Ball.
  • For romance... yea don't read this for the romance. Poor Iris.
  • It has some world building but its not explained or explored to much near the end.
  • The ending for season one was very disappointing, all that build up for such a lame ending. I don't really want to spoil it too much but think of the SpongeBob meme with SpongeBob and Patrick saying "We did it Patrick! We saved the city." and then cut into the next season without resolving any of the issues left behind after all of what happened.

this novel zooms through the school arc very quickly and moves on without a lot of extra filler (no entire chapters devoted to other peoples reactions or 20-50-100 chapter descriptions of long, drawn out fights and no 100 chapter tournaments). The MC in the novel is calm and collected and very thoughtful, and he acts his mental age.

I'm not a fan of harems but so far he's still in the process of meeting people so it hasn't been intolerable. I don't know if that changes later or not, we'll see... more>> (i expect my rating will drop if it's too annoying).

also, don't read this expecting this to be like the manhua, which has moments of slapstick out of nowhere and a definite shounen feel, as well as adding screen time for one character who follows him everywhere. This isn't a comedy, and the chick doesn't follow him in the book so if you're reading this for her, you'll only end up disappointed.

I'm enjoying it for what it is and my rating is 3.5 at the moment. <<less

Great novel. Kinda liked the fact that he sticks to his beliefs and sometimes acts very stubborn about it but still flexible enough to bend his perspective.

Truthfully, I kinda thought things escalated quickly, well, in a good way.

Spoiler

the demigods, apocalypse, lord, god, celestial realm, demon realm, mortal realm, balance of the realms, dragons, apostles, transcendents and everything was soooo hard to digest that my brain kinda whack and all. The truth about lucifer and satan, with the dragon lord and dro really hit me hard.

[collapse]

It was a bit disappointing how Peran Jun wasn't shown in the later chapters since it was nice seeing Frey act like his "age" when talking to Peran.
Spoiler

And when Trowan Rings' circle master died, seeing how Lukas acknowledged Beniang as his first ever (possible) disciple was a bit heart touching.

[collapse]

well, overall, it's a nice novel. It has it's flaws with the plot and some plot holes and seems kinda rushed but all in all, the novel is actually pretty fun and entertaining.
Spoiler

not a real spoiler and all, but if you just stop thinking and stop using your brain, it might be easier to read. (Since it's very complicated and the dialogues aren't really specified which sometimes cause confusion as to who's speaking) or maybe it's just me ┌ (・。・) ┘♪

To think I missed such a good sorry just because the summary was so pathetic :/ I hope someone writes a better summary seriously._. I suggest u read longer than 50 chapters tho before deciding to drop it or not ;)

Random thing:

The author sometime leaves random minor potholes.

The biggest one in the later chapters is when the MC can't use magic, as he needs to remove the trace of his magic yet the author didn't once explain how he kept using a fake identity (which needed illusion magic to... more>> change his appearance appropriately.) when he couldn't make illusions <<less

Story is fast paced but awesome. Brings you on a rollercoaster of emotions. People you hate, become people you love after you die. A lot of the characters are three dimensional in their own way. Hidden gem.

The writer has some good ideas and the world building isn't bad, but the MC is very boring and none of the other characters ever accomplish anything apart from stalling for time. The author has no idea what to do with his secondary characters and frequently just drops them in favor of a new character, but by the end very few have had properly developed and resolved character arcs. For example, there was a long side plot about a golem core a d how to turn it into a golem,... more>> but the resulting character never actually does anything noteworthy even though they should have been incredibly impactful.

As for Frey/Lukas himself, the story mainly just praises him as like coolest greatest guy ever but he never emotes and comes across as a moody hermit with anger issues. When the second season came around, after about thirty chapters or something the story was like "The long years have worn down emotions, that's why he's so different now." Bro, he's the same as always except that he talks a bit less. <<less

MC feels like a religious fanatic, self righteous one at that. Author writes like he is writing a religious text. This is right, this is wrong. As if even a black and white world can exist, yet because of contrast we know in black and white world there is still grey.

MC is supposedly some super badass but in reality he is in fact dumb as a bag of bricks. It honestly feels like its completely on the author. MC will think back and say oh I am doing this wrong.... more>> But repetitively continues to make same mistakes over and over and over. Fact is MC is dumb, but author keeps trying to make him into this intelligent character but MC is supposed to be smarter than author which is just not possible when author doesn't seem to know how to do it.

In terms of perspective in first "arc/season" you get a small bit of "good" and "evil" perspective. It mainly focuses on "good". But maybe its because "evil" is just not given enough time to explain itself, "evil" side of things make sense. Yet "good" where we spend most of our time reading about just isn't logical at all. And by this I mean story makes almost zero sense. It is like an old movie or cartoon where villain traps MC then proceeds to spill the beans and hero repetitively escapes and "defeats" the evil. Just so that next week or next movie it can happen again. When everyone is displayed as genius level masterminds this just gets annoying really quick. Feels like author is a child and were supposed to be their parents and just nod our head and laugh ignoring how terrible story is not coherent at all without shutting off your brain. <<less

great pace, very interesting, nice plot, MC isnt too op and he still experiences hardships, he analyzes situations well and befriends new people while learning about his friends after his dissappearance. Very thrilling id compare it to ranker who lives a second time or solo leveling (which are both great action underdog mangas/novels go check them out in your free time) if you loved or liked those two this will be a good fit
