The world was destroyed.

Because of my boss, who was the embodiment of human tr*sh.

I thought I was dead for sure, but I returned to the past.

Although I was the epitome of corruption, the worst of the worst, who clung to that piece of human garbage…

I have no choice but to try to save that damned world.

In short (as far as I had read), this story is like a hunter-style Robin Hood. ... more>>
Spoiler

(But he looked like a villain from outsiders, because the main character had no mercy towards the bad guys —he literally killed them himself.)

[collapse]

Yi-Sin, the Main Character, is good evil. He used to be a the dog of a super bad guy (because of a life contract, it seems) and on his second life he tried to get revenge on him.

The translation is top notch, as well. The storyline is engaging and the flow is good.

Another interesting thing is:

Spoiler

Hunters did not become strong overnight. They were awakened with potential talent rather than just an OP rank, so they need to actually work hard to be proficient. Though higher talent potential did get more preferential treatment.

[collapse]

I wonder why this page did not have a single review, so I left one.

Update:

Jeong Ho-san

Spoiler

Yi-sin's dear friend. Truly, their friendship is just... heartbreaking. At his first life, Ho-san died because of him, and in this life he tried to sever their connection. But, Ho-san keep searching for him and believe that he would never be a bad guy. He even celebrate Yi-sin's birthday alone, I'm crying.

[collapse]

Yoo Seon-je

Spoiler

An S ranker and also one of Yi-sin's classmates back at the academy. He was selfish and only care about himself. He didn't care about others opinion, and his encounter with Yi-sin hurts Yi-sin's feelings. Yi-sin truly hated Seon-je's guts. But Seon-je is an S rank that was important to prevent the destruction, so at his second life, he tried to save him. It was funny how after Yi-sin saved him, he become the first person that makes Seon-je smile. Yi-sin shuddered in shock once he did. I really loved the encounter.

honestly I really enjoyed this novel until around chapter 150.

This novel sells us the idea of ​​Kang-Yi-Sin, the main character, who was in his first life the dog of a super villain capable of brainwashing anything (except the MC) and who indirectly led to the destruction of Korea. So when he went back in time, in his second life, he tried to get revenge on him and save Korea (and by extension the world).

It was rather interesting and well written at the beginning, the pace of the story was good,... more>> the MC gradually gathers usbordnés and becomes stronger, at the same time as he does what is necessary to lay the foundations of his power, and does what is necessary to advance towards his goal, but finally big writing problems gradually appeared.

As the story unfolds, the pace plummets at a snail's pace due to a padding of scenes and unintuitive passages that do not serve the story in any way and the MC who was initially someone thoughtful, strategic, intelligent, capable of exercising a certain power and with the hope of improving, has become something else.

To give you an idea, after the MC got a very powerful artifact (almost Op in the sense that said artifact has the potential to give him all the talents that exist, provided that he can perform mana circuit combinations,) at the beginning of the novel, the MC gradually worked and unlocked "simulated combinations" and unlocked the use of 3 "combinations" around chapter 90. And... around chapter 350, the MC still hasn't advanced a single inch towards the use of 4 combinations. He hasn't actually even increased his natural mana capacity either, but whether it's a talent limit or a lack of trying, the story doesn't even show him trying anything, so it could be any random reason.

The MC constantly defines himself as a villain (on average once every one or two chapters), except that the problem is that he does almost nothing else but constantly say, but doesn't actually do anything bad in itself.

He doesn't steal money from rich or powerful people, doesn't clean up the underworld, doesn't proactively act to build an empire or a situation against his sworn enemy, despite all his knowledge. In chapter 360, the problem of gates being exploited by s*aves is mentioned, but he didn't even do anything about it (he barely thinks about it).

He pretty much just wanders around randomly and saves people depending on the situations he gets tangled up in. Past a certain point he doesn't even kill his enemies anymore (because he wants to become moral), except for two or three high-ranking political figures. Why? Because he doesn't want to be evil anymore and consider human life as worthless. He basically becomes nothing more than a "good hero in the shadows".

He even asks his distant associate Baek-Do to stop the drug business "because it's not right", without offering him anything or giving him anything in return. This could have been a strategy, but he admits to himself that he hadn't thought about the consequences of his decision.

When he meets his nemesis (spoiler alert), our MC mastermind acts like a trembling idiot, and gets fooled like a complete beginner, making the most ban*l mistakes, and it doesn't happen just once, but several times. The MC simply doesn't learn between encounters.

For me this has definitely broken the myth surrounding the MC.

And what convinced me to stop, is the following problem:

Damn! The story moves at the pace of a dying old man! Because the author spends his time writing reaction chapters between the MC and "his children" (the members of his villain organization), like the fact that Han-Seo has grown up and become a shy teenager, that Kim Jae-Ho spends his time eating and feeding her or has no education, that he must educate them better because they are not children who should be part of a criminal organization and etc.

Past a certain point (ch300), I ended up simply skimming the passages with my eyes to detect the course of events, and I realized that I could skip about 60 to 70% of what I was reading (sometimes entire chapters, sometimes even several chapters in a row), because it did not concern the progress of the plot, but just Kang-Yi-Sin and his "children".

In short. The dark tone of the beginning mixed with occasional humor, ended up becoming mostly light and humorous. Yes there are some dramas and some good moments, but the problem is that they are drowned in the flood of ridicule, the story remains almost motionless and the plot threads are forgotten.

I expected more than just that from this story. The idea was good and the beginning was pretty good, but I guess that given the infernal pace of publication that was asked of him, and that because he didn't have time to imagine and build the events he wanted to write, he succumbed to the sin of padding and probably lost sight of the thread of the story he originally wanted to write. Unfortunately this greatly affected the quality of the few passages that are really good and well written.

Thanks to the author for trying and for his efforts.

This novel is a hidden gem. The MC, like the synopsis said, was the lapdog of a tr*shy but competent guy and after rebirth, designs himself as a necessary evil going against corruption in his country. Sort of like a vigilante. The process of his plans are logical, and the story is well-written. It's action packed, but there are also slice-of-life bits and pieces, and the whole process of the MC first building his organization is pretty funny, especially with his base. I also like our mc's personality, which is... more>> probably my personal taste. He's not exactly self-sacrificial, but his occasional actions of disregarding his health for his goals is exactly up my alley. He portrays himself as a villain, but he also has certain lines he won't cross, and sometimes I feel like instead of the leader of a evil organization, he's the mother of the group. Another thing about this novel is that it doesn't restrict the settings to just Korea. The MC goes to China, Australia, and I think this is one of the few novels that have our characters travel overseas so carefreely. I also love the character developement, and the character dynamics between the MC and the others are to die for! Anyway, definitely a good read! <<less
