1. Okay, fair enough. The plot didn't actually thickens and have very many cliches from the beginning to the end. Despite having such, it was decent. Not all of people hate cliches. There are a lot of them yet, there are also many people who dislike cliches such as this. (Y'all know SL? Yeah. Almost everybody knows and you know how a few of SL fans would say "This is a carbon copy of SL!" whenever manhwas or Korean novels have the word 'Necromancer' in MC's job? Yeah, exactly.) It was a matter of personal tastes. For me, this novel, which has a lot cliches, I mean, a lot, is my very cup of tea. Cuz' you know what? This novel brought out the cliche on a whole different level. (In my opinion anyway)

2. The characters. Though it seemed as if all the characters except our MC were described and portrayed lukewarmly by the author, they still left somewhat deep impressions on me. It's not wrong to say that the characters were all boring. In fact, you have every right to do so. The MC himself is not your usual MC who would bulldoze everything his way. He struggled tremendously, worked harder than anyone, smart but sometimes an airhead and he pave down his own path little by little with other characters' helps. It might seem that the side characters here are just used as fodders but they aren't. It was amazing in itself that the author didn't actually kill them off.

3. Setting and world building. Honestly, when I saw the reviews which were saying that the world building sucks to the point I got tired of it, I thought 'Welp, it does seem that way.' I mean, who would do something like... recruiting someone with the early age of 9 to become a human weapon? 'They're still kids!', is what most of you thought but the academy had its reason too. As you know, just from the summary alone, the world MC lives in isn't a very exactly peaceful place now is it? I know where they're coming from God's Game or whatever it is, was making the whole continent burnt down to the ashes with almost no reason at all. The MC's objective was to survive, right? That was why he left his family and many people question as to why he would join a freaking army that has the most difficulty if he escaped his family in order to protect himself. First of all, if he did do to an ordinary military, he had no reason at all to join a military in the first place because you know what? He knew fully well why he did it. In the future, if he ended up with just joining an ordinary military, he would certainly become monsters' meal without fail. Furthermore, that body of his was talentless and that's exactly why he joined the hardest and most dangerous academy out of all academies existed in the empire, that is... to hone his skill. Without the academy to push him to his limits, he would end just the way he ended up in his past life. Forcing through the fifth stage and making it incomplete which was one of the reason why he died. It all actually make sense if you think about it.

4. And... Bruh. Why did so many people complain about the translation? Heck, I prefer the translation the way it is! There are so many phrases and slangs that are hard to translate to english. For example, Jjambap. The translators use this quite a bit. Well, a lot actually. However, the word Jjambap itself has long definition and instead of using just 'Experience' which doesn't even define the meaning of Jjambap. The translator used this word to explain the situation further than just with the word 'experience'. Make sense, right?

Jaiden becomes OP, of course, but he has so much on his plate and he takes responsibility of it all, so much that I really pity him. He doesn't get conceited and he has a proper grasp on his abilities; he's also not dismissive to others and remain humble (sometimes too much, but that stems from his feelings of inadequacy).

He becomes OP due to his hard work, and even then that power has a price (every dangerous enemy is legit out to get him). He's now in my favorite self-sacrificing bastards list (along with Cale Henituse and Kim Dokja).
