This novel shared the same universe/actually this is the same world as lloyd from The Greatest Estate Designer... MC is the descendant of lloyd. A weak and sick crown prince that live only around 3 months after he transmigrated into the prince body.

... more>>
Spoiler

lloyd married the red haired empress Magentano if I remember correctly from the spoilers, and our MC is the descendant of lloyd but 300 years later. He has similar abilities like summoning cute creatures (instead of building something system, he got health system-something like that)

[collapse]

I like how the direction of the story so far. The 5 organs really funny. I hope the translator keep this project till the end.

*Correct me if I'm wrong... because I read the mtl. <<less

All of the reviewers (atm) have read the author's previous work. I haven't. And therefore, I believe my review will be a lot less biased.

Anyways, here we go.

The description basically describes most of what you need to know. This novel is very similar to many others and not that original. But what about the execution?

The world is revealed quite slowly, small piece by tiny piece. The MC could be replaced with the MC of about any other novel with a similar setting and it wouldn't make a difference. The worst... more>> part of this novel so far is the doctor of the prince. The dialogue with him is extremely dragged out and, personally, annoying.

Overall, there's no reason to read this instead of some other korean novel with a similar plot. In fact, those might even be less annoying. <<less

came from reading the manhwa and then read the novel.

I read a review that said that it was an original idea with poor execution and I cannot agree more. The author (I think) came from the hugely successful "The Greatest Estate Designer" and that was a great read because of the drama, humor, and overall storyline. The problem with this one, in my opinion, is that the humor came out too forced, it wasn't something that came naturally to the characters or story. The story is great but sometimes when... more>> there obviously placed joked in the middle, I cringed and have to stop myself from stopping myself from reading because while the humor is forced, I still want to know what happened next. Overall maybe a 3.5 for me. <<less

This is so underrated over here. It definitely deserves at the very least 4.5. I would personally rate it 4.7/5. Plot 4/5

MC 5/5 - wanted to give him 10 out of 5, he's just that good, funny and crazy

Side characters 4.5/5 - I like them and I think they've been given an appropriate amount of depth

Translation 5/5 but I only know English as a second language so take it with a grain of salt. I think it's pretty good and has done the story justice. The upload rate is insane, and I love that! Kudos to the translator 👏👏👏

This MC has some similarities to Lloyd but has many differences too. The more you read, the more those differences become apparent.

If you're worried about spoilers for the greatest estate designer, there aren't any if you've caught on to the latest chapter of the manhwa. Hint: It's about who he ends up with.

Spoiler

the queen yasss. Although it hasn't been made official yet but it's pretty obvious at this point in the manhwa.

listen! is this the best novel? no! did it drive me insane and give me ten different new mental illnesses? yes!

what starts as a pretty standard 'isekai'd protagonist has to find a way to stay alive and change the fate of the original novel' plot rapidly dissolves into a much more interesting and fun journey that culminates into a finale that gave me palpitations when I first read it.

the MC, rakiel, is an absolutely rabid little creacher that is scrambling to survive in a world that has put him on... more>> a very tight deadline while also keeping his new best friend, the ogMC, alive and by association the entire world from being destroyed and he's taking every shortcut and advantage he can to get there. he's very resourceful and smart which makes him a pretty satisfactory MC to follow along the plot, tho sometimes it can feel like he's a bit too OP. nonetheless I love him dearly and want to keep him in my pocket.

the plot, , , god the plot is so hard to explain without giving away one of the major plot twists. this is a 'everything happens so much' kind of novel. the pace is a little slow in the beginning but when it does pick up it doesn't really stop. it's a constant escalation of rakiel putting out a fire in the kitchen only to realize there's a forest fire going on outside.

the novel starts when lee han, an oriental doctor from south korea and our MC, is transmigrated into the novel 'Demon Sword Emperor' in the body of rakiel adria magentano, the crown prince of the empire and who is destined to die in less than three months. to survive he has to treat other people and gain lifespan from the time his patients gain when he cures them. this is a constant issue through the novel, he's always racing against time deeply aware that his days are literally numbered. but it's fine, he sets up a clinic to treat people and gains enough lifespan to be able to breathe. easy fix, right? wrong!

there's the issue of the original plot. in the novel, the empire is meant to fall apart in a couple of years when an enemy kingdom declares war on them and the second prince, then emperor, fails to rise to the challenge. so now rakiel has to figure out a way to keep the second prince from becoming emperor AND the war from starting! so okay, he becomes a better option as crown prince for the current emperor and saves the crown princess of the other kingdom from dying so she can be their ally and stop the war from ever happening. so problem fixed, right? wrong!

because turns out the tyrant that would've started the war in the original novel rose up in arms and started a revolution against the alliance between the two countries. so now... you get the gist. it's thing after thing after thing. this is not a complaint I like this.

and through all of this, rakiel has been very careful about keeping damian, the ogMC, who he hired as his bodyguard as far from danger as he's capable of because turns if there's ever a moment where damian feels that he's about to die, he could accidentally bring the end of the world. so like. there's also that to worry about.

he's very careful about not really talking or even thinking about what exactly happens when damian is on the brink of death because he's really hoping it simply won't, but as you can probably guess, it does.

and now spoilers because the best parts come after the twist

Spoiler

ok so! the plot twist is that damian isn't actually human. he's not even a real person. he definitely thinks he is. he even thinks he has the memories to prove it. he doesn't. he's actually a vessel for the Demon King who plans on possessing him in order to unleash his full power in the mortal realm and destroy it. the reason it's so dangerous for him to be in mortal danger, it's because he can instinctively use a mana technique that opens the door for Acheros, the demon king, to enter his body. he was never born, he was specifically created to be nothing but a puppet to destroy the world. this gives him a lot of mental issues and I enjoy it a lot.

rakiel desperately wants to avoid this and thinks that if he can just keep damian away from danger this will make it so acheros has no chance of possessing him. this fails in several ways, no least of all because rakiel is a trouble magnet and he made the mistake of hiring damian as his bodyguard so now damian is determined to protect him at all costs. this was silly of him but I can understand that he doesn't mean to risk his life so much, it just happens to him a lot.

but worst of all, it doesn't work because acheros figures out that if his puppet won't be in mortal danger by exterior threats then he just. kill him from the inside out. so he starts giving damian incurable diseases that in the time period they live in are a death sentence. it is very hard actually to see damian slowly wither away as acheros destroys his health and his sense of self-worth. I love it!

and it probably would've worked if the one person that knows what he's planning and is in a place to stop it, wasn't also a doctor filled with spite, stubbornness and sheer "f*ck you" energy. comedy of errors for acheros, he attacked the one guy in the planet who has a personal doctor from the future where insulin and chemo is a thing lmao.

but yeah, big part of the novel is rakiel desperately trying to keep damian alive by any means necessary, including but not limited to traveling through dimensions to find the medicine he needs and annoying semi-omnipotent celestial beings into helping him. he's insane and I find that delightful.

the relationship these two form with each other is truly the heart of the whole thing, they're so mutually devoted and it shows in increasingly heartbreaking ways. if you're into very deep relationships between characters that would do anything to keep the other safe and sound, this is definitely up your alley.

i will not spoil the finale because honestly it requires a lot of context and is the kind of thing that is meant to be experienced first hand but when I tell you that I was crying and sobbing my way through it I need you to know I mean it in every way possible.

it is so worth it and it truly does feel like a good pay off for an honestly insane amount of chapters of build up. I loved it, almost no criticism of it, would pay to have my memory of it erased just to experience it again.

[collapse]

but yeah. I love this novel a lot.

i am aware this is not the best novel out there. it's very long and meandering, the author tends to go on these long rambles and info dumps that aren't really necessary, there are some arcs you can skip whole chapters from without losing too much, it does take you a little bit to get attached to the characters and the pacing is a little all over the place. also if you like accurate medicine you might not like this lol.

and addressing the elephant in the room, yes this is set in the same universe as tged but god it is so much more than just a distant sequel to it. the journey and roller-coaster of emotions this novel put me through. amazing. also if you're looking for something similar to tged's 'adaptation' webcomic don't read this. it's not what you're looking for. hell, not even the tged novel is similar to tged's manhwa. if you're gonna read it do read it for itself. this is its own story with its own tone and its own essence.

but it's still really good. it has great characters and a good story to tell and I came to love it very much despite all it's fault.

just give it a chance to win you over. it's really worth it (•̀ ω •́) ✧ <<less

An original idea with poor execution. The plot felt like it was made up as the story progressed. The characters weren't sketched out properly and they were one dimensional. Only rated 4 stars for people to appreciate the knowledge about traditional korean medicine. If not for that the rating would have been 3.

I'll update this review and rating later, but I just want to say that the anecdotes that are turning into a running gag about "Raciel's acquaintance Moon Baek's" (aka, the author's) experience having gallstones is both distressing and hilarious. From collapsing during a soccer game and cheering as he was being carried away because his team scored a goal, to the extremely specific descriptions of symptoms of having gallstones, to the sudden but casual mention that he woke up during gallbladder surgery (I actually said, "Oh no..." out loud when... more>> reading that part)... I'm convinced that this experience is the true inspiration behind writing this novel.

Other things I appreciate - this story is not just about Eastern medicine but Western medicine and modern methods that combine both. I also appreciate Raciel's attitude about sharing the information he knows from his past life: he takes a leaf out of Lloyd's book and straight up doesn't hide, using medical terminology that doesn't exist in this world and quoting complex medical research studies without further explanation, brute-forcing everyone into listening to him because they don't understand what he's talking about. I love the "Phoenix Sunfish" whose ability is to immediately die after eating literally anything and then write long rambling diary entries about the experience after coming back to life.

There's a throwaway line that could suggest a possible prequel about the founding of Magetano. The idea of people with companion Phantom Beasts being significant figures in history is discussed, but the only people having Phantom Beasts that are mentioned or named are Lloyd (MC of Greatest Estate Developer), Raciel (our MC here), and one other person who apparently had a Kangaroo Phantom Beast. If the author wants to continue writing about this world with audacious MCs from various specific, modern professions, I'd love to see this possible prequel manifest. <<less

This novel is really unique and I'm quite enjoying my time ❤️ MC is so funny. I don't even know is he really motivated to heal people just because for bonus life or is he actually a kindhearted but tsundere person? Anyway, I find it amusing that people around him tends to misunderstand every his actions and how the MC just let it be and keep going as he wants 🤣

Still, sometimes I feel a bit perplexed with the author. How come Magentano's people let their Crown Prince to give... more>> more attention for his clinic rather than prepared himself to be their future Emperor? Especially current Emperor. That's what really troubling me until now.

Still, I love how the author show us some characters development—though in a slow pace—like how MC rebuild his relationship with his father, the Emperor; how the MC face his past trauma; how the MC get trusts from people around him, etc ❤️ <<less

Currently reading Chapter 13 and I just want to vent here. If you're a person who wants stories straight to the point with no fillers and no redundant writings? This novel is not for you. It was just so annoying. One scene takes a whole effing chapter because everything have to be explained, the side characters seems to have hearing problem so tgings have to be explained again. Everything is so wordy. Author seems to be pulling all the stops to reach their word count. Why do I keep reading?... more>> I find the plot interesting so now I'm bashing my brains through it. Ugh. <<less

I won't rate this novel, since I haven't read much and my review is highly biased due to personal likes:

Let me start this with some facts:

... more>>
Spoiler

First, this is written by AI with some human touch.

Second, it's not only traditional Korean doctors who face the hardship of failed businesses or get treated like therapists by their patients. It's quite laughable to suggest that such experiences could make someone face an emperor with ease as if it were nothing. The author could have simply said that the MC had a strong will or that the emperor wasn't imposing enough for an outsider from another dimension with no awareness of hierarchy, instead of comparing him to the MC's landlord. Honestly, it could have worked, but the way it was written made it seem like the emperor was just an insignificant passerby, you don't make an imposing emperor by comparing a man who own a 1 or 2 or even a 1000 buildings to man who own an empire. And for a person who just read a novel where an emperor felt like an actual emperor, this one looked like a farce.

I dislike it when authors make their nationality so essential in their novels. I used to gloss over it long ago, but I read too much of that crap, and now the slightest bit became absolutely annoying. Yes, it's okay to take pride in who you are, but is it necessary when the plot isn't even set in Korea? Seriously? In such cases, all I hear is a child saying, "We Koreans are better than everyone else." Thankfully, this mentality didn't progress beyond that one instance, or at least till the short chapters I've read.

[collapse]

I'm still at the beginning, and I can see what other people mean by a good idea but poor execution. The constant shifting of POVs just to repeat the same information again and again, as if we're dumb or something, is frustrating. They're trying to establish the MC as something amazing by making everyone misunderstand his intentions. What's been done so far could indeed be considered amazing, but the constant reminders every other chapter, and only moving on after 5 to 7 chapters, is kind of annoying.

Spoiler

Am I the only one who thinks making the MC and his brother's fight public is s*upid? Or did I fail to understand the underlying fact that the emperor was trying to make his *sick* son the bu*t of all jokes, and ultimately the royal family as well? Honestly, I still see no benefit to it yet. But of course, the author will make it so everyone admires the MC, and nothing negative will be said about his brother, because... ahem, the author is God, after all.

[collapse]

Well, at chapter 35, I'm dropping this novel. The idea was intriguing, but the writing is still annoying. It's not about grammar mistakes, but the style itself. While the AI voice started to fade after chapter 30, it's frustrating how the author feels inclined to explain everything... absolutely everything. Like, dude, I'm not s*upid. God. Arrgh. Giving readers the option to interpret things themselves is so much more enjoyable than this. Also, it's slow-paced in places where it shouldn't be, as if the author was just trying to fill in the word count or didn't know what to write and was thinking while typing away repeated info. Anyway, I wanted to read this novel; the idea is solid, but I'm going to lose it if I have to keep reading it like this. <<less

I quite like this story. MC is very hard working. It's hard to be him.

I would like it more if he used more details from the original novel. He pretty much stop mentioning/using the novel after a while.

Overall, this is a story of a oriental doctor in another world. There is not a lot of adventures, politics, country building so far.

He is living a relaxing? Life. This is a calming story.
