I remember reading this years ago when it wasn't translated haha. It is a good novel where MC has to struggle to survive. The female lead becomes quite capable with time as well. It starts as an adventure fantasy and then slowly turns to city building. It is very highly rated in Korea so do give it a try. Recommended.

It might be a little too early to leave a review, but it was an enjoyable read. I might edit the review once there are more chapters translated, but as of now, I am enjoying the novel quite a bit.

Arsene (MC) is a very likeable character, although without much special qualities, he's not that bland either.

The world setting looks interesting, and things are progressing neither too slowly, nor too fast.

Action scenes are well done, not the best but it was good.

As for romance,

There isn't exactly any plot right now and it's more like an insight on Arsene's life, but I think that might change in the future.

the title is actually what the story is, it's the tale of a knight trying to make his way through a post-apocalyptic fantasy world. The author does well in creating a world with violence and fear teeming at every corner, but also makes sure to highlight the moments of humanity within this darkness, which provides for a lovely contrast that you want to keep reading more of.

seeing characters die left and right makes you hope to the seven skies that none of the main cast dies, especially considering the horrific treatment of mages - tldr; keep eloise safe!

Absolutely love this story.

Also, while I'm generally not a fan of romance, this seems tolerable since the female lead isn't a leech but is instead able to hold her own (as a mage, i.e. A sort of magic blacksmith in this world, which isn't really a combat role but vital for supporting knights) and provide support to the MC. I dislike romances where the guy is doing everything and just dragging along a burden of a romantic interest.

The world building is interesting and I look forward to more of this!
