This author loves to create love-hate dramas, but he is absolutely suck at them. If you read his novel before you would know that he always make MC "forced" to kill the FL's family to make some drama. In this story, MC is the reason why both our super genius debudantes lost their parents, first one lost her father and the other lost her mother. He should be called "The Orphan Maker" or "Family Destroyer" or "The Parent Hunter" at this point.

When he start doing something new, it comes out even dumber than the previous one. The recent example is the drama in Julie's story, which is also the most infuriating. Why the f*ck does she will not be cured unless she hate the MC?? Just because she reconciled with MC her growth became stale?? So MC need to let go of her and make her hate him so that she can do some love-hate drama and rise into the most prominent figure in the world with the power of drama?? Maybe author failed his middle school so I will tell you this, intelligent beings cure illness by using MEDICINE not by doing some f*cking DRAMA.

well, just look at these abilities :

1. 1. man of wealth : the ability to know anything that would make money. He used it at an auction to buy hidden treasures and resell them. The auction in the story is kind of incompetent tho since they didn't appraise their item before auctioning them off. It's not like MC is the only one that knows their worth as some dude at some tower also able to appraise them.
   2. Understanding : This is his most OP skill and the cheapest, unoriginal, and laziest cheat ever exist. It gives MC the ability to understand anything and everything. I should have dropped this novel after knowing this cheat.
   3. iron man body : I don't even know why he need this.
   4. Some willpower abilities that is so OP that reduces his mana consumption in the future city about 99%.
   5. some unknown bullsh*t that appear suddenly like the demon hunting buff from his bloodline. I predict that there will be more later.

Now he have money making skill, hyper galaxy brain, superman body, and ultra willpower. What else is he lacking?

Later in the story, there is a boy who used to try copy ephrene paper and joined deculein as his pupil. To be honest, knowing this author I was quite shocked that he would bring a dude to the future-past seminar arc along with his harem gang. But of course this author never disappoint me, apparently the boy's role in that arc was just to greet future MC and then faint till the end of the arc. This author really ruthless towards male character, I even felt sorry for the dude.

Deculain Yukline - The person Kim Woojin transmigrates into. His in-game personality is based loosely on Woojin's. The original Deculain was mysophobic, elegant, adhered to etiquette, and was a real bad guy, who has feelings for no one but Julie, his fiance, and was killed off by almost every major character. When Woojin becomes Deculain, their personalities meld together, so he does still care a little about Julie. Aside from being a senior professor, he's also the head of the Yukline House, one of the 12 important families. He has anti-demon properties, like all Yuklines do. He later tries to become the next chairman of the university, and his victory is pretty much set in stone after his competitor, someone who went to school with him, sees how much he's changed and pretty much concedes the position to him. As of c150, the last trial to become chairman is approaching.

Yeriel Yukline - She's the acting lord of Yukline and initially hates Deculain because she knows she can do better than him at being the lord. Her hatred fades away a lot later on, especially when Deculain says he'll give the position to her near the start of the story. It's later found out that she's not a real Yukline.

Allen - She's Deculain's assistant professor and is introduced as male, but she's female. She's been Deculain's assistant ever since he became a senior professor. She has spatial magic (if I remember correctly) and she's very strong. She's also either a spy for the Red Cross race or works with them.

Eiphrene Luna - Her father was Deculain's assistant and was working on a research paper with him, before he committed su*cide. She hates Deculain because she (rightfully) thinks Deculain stole all her father's work and is intending on publishing the results as his, until Deculain helps her multiple times, by helping her out of an expulsion near the start of the story, sponsoring her to continue her studies, and other stuff. Then Deculain finishes the paper and includes Eiphrene's father as a co-author, giving him credit. Her hatred melts away like snow under sunlight after that, and she becomes Deculain's assistant.

Julie Fryden - She hates Deculain at first because he forced the engagement onto her and her family by threatening and a bunch of other stuff. Later, it's revealed through one of Deculain's diary notes that the reason why Deculain likes her is probably because there was a disaster when they were young and Julie was the only one who refused to give up on saving Deculain even though the situation looked hopeless. As a result, Julie got injured, and can't use aura/mana/magic/something properly, and her life has been shortened. The way to save her is for Deculain to get Julie to hate him as much as possible. After mending their relationship, he finds out about it, and pretends he's trying to destroy her knight group, the Freinheim knights, so that she can go back to her family and get married to him. She does go back to her family, with a lot of hatred for Deculain and an extended lifespan, and is assigned to an especially harsh, cold place, where she'll no doubt suffer (and hate Deculain).

Sylvia Eliade - She's the heir to the Eliade family, and initially doesn't have a bad impression of Deculain (due to Woojin using his skills to be an amazing professor) before her father, Giltheon Eliade, reveals to her that during a fight between the Yuklines and Eliades, her mother, Giltheon's wife, was killed by Deculain when she was trying to leave. Then she asks Deculain about it and he doesn't deny it so she develops love-hate feelings toward Deculain like what @Jastermasher 1029 said. Before, that, though, she wanted to be Deculain's assistant like Eiphrene, but was rejected because she can fulfill her potential better than under him.

Ganesha - She's the leader of the Red Garnet Adventurer Group, and was hired by the original Deculain to capture talented children to be magic s*aves. But she becomes attached to them, and when she tells Deculain that she won't do it, she expects Deculain to retaliate for that, but he doesn't, and Ganesha tells Deculain that Yeriel is not his real sister. The children are Lia, Leo, and Carlos, and Ganesha takes them in as apprentices

Josephine - Julie's sister (not sure if real sister or not), who loves her a lot and is willing to do like anything for her. She's very strong and has some kind of shadow magic. She cooperates in deceiving Julie about Deculain trying to destroy her knight group.

Red Cross race - They're a group of people who are discriminated against. Deculain, as a demon-hating Yukline, used to at least implicitly support their treatment, but as Woojin, he actually spoke out in their favor. But when somewhere important (I forgot where) is bombed and there are Red Cross members among the bombers, Deculain can't support them that openly anymore and proposes for a Red Cross concentration camp to be built on Yukline land, bordering a demon-infested land, so they can suffer by defending against the demons. But Deculain obviously doesn't actually intend on punishing the Red Cross as badly as it seems like he will. The Red Cross have certain traits that allows people to identify them. One of those traits is not being able to eat a certain mushroom, but that mushroom is expensive and their reaction might not be very visible, so it's not a good way of finding them out.

Lia, Leo, Carlos - They are Ganesha's apprentices. Yuara, Woojin's ex-girlfriend, transmigrates into Lia sometime after the story starts. I can't remember much about Leo and Carlos other than that Carlos is a half-demon or half Red Cross or something like that.

Luina McQueen - She's around Deculain's age, and competed against the original Deculain when they were students (or a bit after that). They competed to become senior professor, but Deculain got the role and exiled her outside the empire, until she returns and Deculain later promises to make her a senior professor when he becomes chairman. Deculain also says that in a few years (forgot the exact number), he won't be blocking her anymore, and when she sees him coughing blood once, she thinks he has a terminal illness.

Sophene - She's the first in line to the throne, and becomes the new emperor after the current emperor dies. She's actually a regressor who returns to the start of the year whenever she's killed. Her first few regressions were when someone from the 12 families killed her with poison when she was a child. She has already regressed enough times to make her thousands of years old, which makes her lazy and bored with life. In the game, if she dies, the game is over, so Deculain tries to stop her from killing herself from boredom (he's succeeding so far). He becomes her magician teacher, and Julie is her knight teacher. Deculain uses his skills to be very good at chess, so Sophene likes to play chess with him because he's good at it. They become closer after the demon-mirror-in-the-palace-basement incident.

Character wise, his relationship with Yoo Ara is just weird. Why did they separate even though they were so madly in love ? It is never actually explained. Also their story ends nowhere. The whole point of Deculien is he would do anything to be with the one he loves as long as she is willing, only having two souls it became two people (though Yoo Ara is Yuli so arguably Deculien himself already loved two women including her). So when she confessed to him she was Yoo Ara in the lighthouse, he should have been willing to sacrifice all his other plans simply to make her happy by being with her, instead of hiding it from her. Even if the super genius somehow didn't get she actually loves him yet, when she directly confessed in the hut on his deathbed (death-chair?), considering they returned him to life, his new life should have been dedicated to returning to her. System or not system. This is a more reasonable conclusion to the story.

Also, him allowing diary generated Julie to die doesn't make sense. Following his character he should have been willing to sacrifice everyone else just to make her a new doll, which really shouldn't be that hard considering he is such a genius.

The fact he didn't fall in love with his students sort of makes sense actually. This is on them really. Stop whining, find another man, even if he is not quite as good looking.

Sophien is just a mess and a horrible horrible person, yet I'm not sure why he didn't end up with her simply out of a sense of duty considering his character, he actively gave up on his real love interests and all other duties anyway. It seemed like the author was going for Sophien being made into a human for a bit, but that was a complete and total failure since she lost interest in the world once Deculien disappeared. I don't understand how Kerion didn't become the replacement love interest in that relationship and was instead killed off randomly in the most torturous and pointless way. Why ? Just bizarre. Who is he protecting the perfectly frozen area from ? Anything that approached would also freeze... even time was frozen. Then they resurrected him and Sophien to get ready to play Go semi-forever... O_o

In fact, Kerion should have been the love interest from the start. A story where Deculien makes Sophien realize she loves Kerion would have been much better and more satisfying then the weird Go based relationship she has with Deculien.

Now switching to the story, which is worse. I get the story isn't the focus in the genre, but come on. First of all, there is the Sophien is insane arc or Sophien starts the Demon Blood massacre arc, where she mu*ders presumably hundreds of thousands of Demon Bloods for no good reason, even though she is perfectly aware there is no good reason for this. This obviously makes her a hi*ler like figure and a self aware one. The fact Deculien's concentration camp never became a death camp doesn't change the fact there were several other active death camps. I don't understand how I'm supposed to ignore that later on. Why would I ? How am I supposed to sympathize ? Fine, she went insane because she regressed many times. That still doesn't excuse mu*dering hundreds of thousands if not millions of innocents.

The fact Deculien helps in this makes him just as bad. Yes, he prevents the count from going even higher, but he also facilitates the whole process. It still makes him a mass mu*der of an incomprehensible degree. I'm not saying it is unreasonable for the character. The original Deculien, who considers all commoners tr*sh and only the Emperor as a superior being, would have sacrificed millions for the sake of the Emperor. The question is, as a reader how am I supposed to feel anything but disdain for these characters ? I now hope they do die a horrible death. No redemption is possible from killing so many people for no reason. None. The fact no one in story cares about this, including the Demon Bloods is insane to me and makes it impossible to take the story seriously. It isn't even like Deculien didn't plan to enter into conflict with Sophien later, so why not start earlier ? Also, it doesn't seem like Sophien was strictly necessary in the game to win it. So Deculien made that choice, he picked the insane mu*der over her millions of victims. I even remember Quay saying that killing Sophien would be enough to defeat him, but then I guess the author backtracked on that with the whole comet/doll thingy.

Second dumb arc, the last arc where Deculien decides to become a villain to unite the world. This is just clearly s*upid. First of all, the actual villain, Quay already exists and is known to all. So what is the point of having another sub-villain just under him ? You already have someone who actually wants to mu*der all of humanity, so why is there a need for someone to pretend ?

Also, obviously it doesn't unite everyone because a significant portion followed the Altar of their own free will so even after Quay/Deculien are defeated you still have two conflicting parties, hence not everyone is united. It is even alluded to in the story with some Altar people surviving and continuing the fight.

I don't get why Declien had to sacrifice himself for his magic to work. Why couldn't he just gather all his insanely powerful allies and have them supply the power for his magic ? Maybe he had to, but this wasn't explained in any way and so feels like a pointless sacrifice and a cheap way to fake drama.

It bugs me Quay was basically a minor character defeated in like two paragraphs overshadowed by chapters on chapters of Deculien's unexplained sacrifice, making the sacrifice even less clear. The fact we were suddenly told the comet would have destroyed everything anyway makes Quay even more pointless. So he actually just acted to hasten the apocalypse ? Wouldn't this mean he actually wasn't trying to destroy the world, but save it a little differently since the deaths were inevitable anyway ? How would have Deculien/Epherine's plan worked if not for Julie randomly resurrecting from her diary memories and becoming extremely powerful? It couldn't have and no one planned for it to happen... Like was the original plan for Sylvia to keep everyone alive for 11, 000 years by herself ? O_O That sounds like a very bad plan. Basically Quay was trying to save humanity, but Deculien and friends lucked out and fell on a better plan. A better plan Quay apparently didn't even try to stop once he saw it was likely to work...
