First of all, it's a question to whether or not these people actually understands, or at least bothers to understand what they're reading. The direction of the plot is inferred through the regressor, that there are future events that would lead to Humanity's downfall, and what those events are, or what exactly they're going to face are repeatedly hypothesized by the MC. It's the reason why he goes through lengths to emotionally manipulate his social circle into being overly-dependent on him, to protect himself during those events. The story, from that fact alone, is far from "Directionless" as these troglodytes argued. Second, the women. The women, compared to most of the novels in this site have their own agendas and personality quirks. I, so help me god, can't fathom the thought process that you need to have to interpret these character's are "mindless".
I'll cite a few examples to expose how glaringly obvious it is that these people are either not bothering to understand what they read, or are intentionally sabotaging their review because they hate how unconventional it is (the MC is personally weak but is a genius when it comes to manipulation and interpersonal relationships). The 1st girl that fell for him, Hayan, is emotionally weak and suffers from abandonment issues due to her past. The MC exploits that by making use of/creating situations in which he can increase her dependency on him, even to a point of manipulating others to isolate her. She fell in love and that's the end, right? No. She fell in love to a point of unhealthy obsession and insanity. Yes, I'm pretty sure she was clinically insane at some point. This became another plot point in the story, which either ends up creating tension or as an exploit to get him out of tough/mildly annoying situations. You must be wondering, even if he's good at reading and manipulation, wouldn't it be too much of a stretch to know another person's emotional weakness so early? Two things:
1. They were too emotionally weak to put
up an act in the 1st place, and are very susceptible to manipulation.
2. Unique ability. He has the ability to read another person's details including their age, character traits, disposition etc. It's his go-to when it comes to searching for individuals with talent and finding out ways to manipulate them. He even said, something pure is easier to taint, or something like that. He basically leads those around him down to a dark path without them knowing, constantly manipulating their feelings or creating situations where-in the individual will lead to a conclusion desirable for him.
One of the women that has the personality of an ideal volunteer, for example, was manipulated into thinking that not all poor people are good or is suffering, and that "evil" should be cleansed regardless of one's position in life. He essentially turned her from someone who gives away food to the poor into someone who kills who she perceives as scum in the slums, a mu*der hobo. Of course, not all of the women attracted to him was a result of manipulation. There are also women, 2 iirc, who are competent. One is one of the strongest warriors in the world view and leads her own guild. She initially treated him as a toy and only bothered to contact him because she noticed his disposition as a cunning snake. Their relationship is ironically the one that developed most naturally, as they only saw it from a business stand-point at first, because unlike one of the reviews in this side claimed, the MC is very much competent when it comes to politics and relationships. It's a different from the brute strength that these single-celled individuals seek, so it's understandable that they made such a ridiculous claim. Well, does these reviewers being absolute clowns with their ratings mean you should like the novel? No, lol. The MC, on all aspects is a selfish a-hole who has no qualms in framing innocent people or manipulating his friends if it benefits him. He, for a good 90% of the novel, constantly wears the mask of a good person and ends up tricking the entire continent. Does that mean he never drops his act? He does, at some parts, where he's caught off guard or is overwhelmed by his emotions. All I ask is you rate the novel objectively instead of making excuses to give it a low rating. More so if those excuses are obvious enough for other readers to notice at a glance.
Short Summary- [ That can very well decide the decision whether to read or not! ]
MC is very much Passive character throughout the Novel. He is also very weak throughout the novel, you can compare him to his teammates, soulmates, Harem members. Only exceptions are the enemy who he defeat personally which are usually tr*sh in power to begin with. You will feel like, reading about the MCs sidekick rather than the MC. He always has to kiss up to people because he is weak. He gets reverse rap*d by females, get toyed by them. You will even begin to question your own orientation in case you started liking it lmao, so most people just leave at this point. You will feel: I'm aware all MCs have to start out weak
But the problem is that, this guy just seems to stay weak. And believe it is not gonna change.
Both Lee Ki-young and Kim Hyun-seong form a harem, and there are also a lot of heroines, so even if a BL element appeared, it was just a gag element, not to the extent that it was recognised as Bromance.
However, as we enter the mid-to-late half, Kim Hyun-seong's plot regarding it overwhelmingly increases compared to other characters, and Lee Ki-young's emotional exchanges and relationships are stronger than the heroines, and it is said that there is a feeling of bromance.
In addition, as Lee Ki-young started adding elements of her TS water, such as seducing Kim Hyun-seong by turning into a woman, or attracting Lee Ki-young after seeing the female version of Kim Hyun-seong, reactions began to appear that it was her BL drift.
Real problem will begin in Extra Chapters though [ which are like, 300- ongoing ]
>The charm of this novel is that the protagonist, who is in relatively unfavourable conditions in terms of force, financial power, and social position, makes full use of what he has, such as politics, agitation, and scheming, to get over the situation, and even turn it back to his advantage.
>In the beginning, the point of this work is to enjoy 'how tr*shy the main character is' rather than looking at 'how smart the main character is'.
>It is refreshing to see the skill of using clichés while at the same time destroying clichés.
>Another unique feature of this novel is its characters. Unlike mothers in which characterisation has almost disappeared,
In this novel, each character's charm, personality, and relationship to each other are firmly established.
In the early part, I heard that the characters were flat, but in the middle and late part, the evaluation was reversed. Also, giving out various illustrations of the characters can be seen as an advantage.
>Chance and luck play a key role in the protagonist's problem-solving process.
Therefore, if you look forward to a fierce political drama, you are likely to be disappointed.
The level of MC's plot itself is a bit low for those interested in politics or history.
>In order to show the ripple effect of the main character's scheme, the story is often occupied by a third person's point of view.
>His actual combat ability is on the weak side, but he is an intelligent protagonist who plays with the many powerful characters in the story. However, He only has the foundation to become a genius, but not a big-brain from the start.
>Except for his intellect / luck that showed some potential, overall, he had stats and talents that made him cry out the window.
>He raised his potential to the maximum and took full advantage of his political power, personal connections, unique characteristics, and narration, so he is not the strongest, but has risen to the highest position in the world.
>His greatest strength is his personality and politics based on his agitation and fabrication
>However, apart from these scams and actions that seem likely to go around, He is a genius.
>It's not that much of a joke, of course, but he's a different type of genius from other geniuses who have great memory and calculation skills. The true value of him is to understand the situation and handle the received information in the right place. He is also excellent at understanding the surrounding situation, which exerts tremendous power on the battlefield.
People like to see weak MC going through adventures and life struggles and grow stronger. Usually they imagined themselves in the form of MC and try to indulge in the world more and enjoy it.
But no one likes if a MC always stay weak or never grow strong and fight. Always has to kiss asses or get controlled and toyed by girls. He even get reverse-ra*ed by girls. Every girl in his harem, was never his intention or liking. It was always a situation which was forced and he has no power to act in it. Every girl is either a crazy S&M bit** or a muscle girl who completely overpower MC and toy and devour him. No one will like any such situations.
But the worst is that, you will see these situations too many, as in too many times.
Starting 50 chp are more than enough to give you a taste of BL-S&M-Yandere and all kinds of genre. which people associate with waste people usually.
He is weak, this thing is the main focus as it is shown throughout the novel. No use, if you read whole novel and last 50 chp MC can do more, but remember he is kinda OP towards the end, but still, not OP physically. I will say it directly, never expect this MC to be OP at all. He win because there are other people standing behind him or under him. He can never act arbitrarily like chinese MC.
He is always composed---- NO NO NO noooo. Instead he is always controlled or have no choice. As this fact is loud and clear till the end, MC is not unique, not special, completely normal and tr*sh, his survival is biggest-luckiest thing that should have ever happened. That's the vibe you will get.
I am not Praising this novel, Nor I am defaming it. I am just stating all the facts and feelings I personally felt and all the anger and frustration I felt very clearly in a straightforward way.
So unless you never care about MC, and only see the bigger picture, that is Novel Plot and development of every person. Then you will love it. But if you are the guy, who like, let's say, Solo levelling, WMW, Reverend Insanity, for fuk sake, even Against the God or Martial God Asura.... Then you will never enjoy this novel. Why?
Because MC is not a MC at all. He is the person you will least like to see in a novel. That's why, I believe, almost 90% of the people, who love seeing Male Lead Plot or Narration, would be bored or irritated.
The Novel's Extra is the only exception and the reason I sometimes come back to try another one. There are a lot of things I don't like in this story, the worldbuilding is shallow, nothing is ever properly descripted (people, buildings, enemies, food, abilities), the machinegun dialogue makes extremely difficult to understand who is saying what, the inhuman ability of the MC to manipulate people that trascends reality and the plot that seems to be getting nowhere after the MC and his party left the tutorial are only a few but for me, the worst part of the novel by far are the characters, and I mean all of them. The MC is extremely manipulative, people say he is amoral and I tend to agree but as much as a lot of readers (myself included) are tired of reading about MCs that suffer from hero complex or are goody two-shoes that doesn't mean that simply because a character is written as a manipulative pragmatist he is well written.
The MC here looks and acts like the small time villain that appears shortly in other stories to sow dissent in the party only to be yeeted out of the story in a very short time. The only difference is that he is successful. He mindtrips himself into being a manipulator even when there is absolutely no reason to, he could have come clean about his unique ability to see other people statuses ages ago and all the guilds would have worshipped him, he could have keept doing alchemy while living a comfy life in some mansion but for some reason he keeps his secret and tries to show his value to the regressor using his ability to warp reality and manipulate people. This might be attribuited to his lack of trust towards other people but I don't buy it, maybe other guilds would have tried to harm him if they knew but his party members all like and support him, the regressor in particular would value that ability a lot so keeping the secret is nonsensical. I keep saying that he can warp reality because there are multiple instances of the story doing extremely convient leaps of logic to facilitate his plots, what he did to get the priestess to join his party for example is nothing short of that, I seriously doubt you could reshape a person values to that degree in one day without using magic, it was that unbelievable. The rest of the characters are nothing special as well.
The regressor has some "big plan" that he's trying to accomplish (not clear for now), save the world or something but honestly, he could as well not be there since he pretty much acts like a "get out of jail" card for the first 100 chapters and has no personality besides being really strong and somewhat good natured. The thing I like the most in this kind of story is seeing the MC interact with the ogMC, supporting him from the shadows while the plot thickens, nothing of the sort happens here.
It could realistically happen later on but I don't think this story is worth investing more time into. The "harem" is even worse, as much as I dislike Mirai Nikki and think it's one of the worst anime I've ever seen there was a reason as for why Yuno was so well liked amongst the community, she was genuinely creepy and more important, dangerous. Her shenanigans terrified Yukiteru. Hayan on the other hand is... boring. There's only so much entertainment you can get from a mentally unstable girl with daddy issues that does stuff, at some point it becomes obnoxious.
She can't deal with the other girls since they are either "useful" or too strong, she can't deal with him (or won't) by taking extreme measures and he can't deal with her for various reasons, so she is just... there. The other girl, Cha Heera, is even worse since she is an extremely strong and accomplished woman that bends herself for a newbie with no power, influence or personal strenght as soon as she sees him just because she likes manipulative people, lol. People don't work like that. Even if we give Hayan a pass since she has various personality issues, Cha Heera is a woman that has seen the world, she is rich, strong, accomplished and well connected while he is a nobody.
I find extremely hard to suspend my disbelief and give our MC the "dragon amongst men" card that I'm willing to give to a lot of MCs that get incredible women in flocks.
It's another instance of him bending reality to his convenience as far as I'm concerned. I haven't read further but other reviews talk about MC getting a japanese s*ave, a sugar mommy and two dragons as well as the fact that he has a passive that lets him be "loved" by dangerous people of the opposite s*x and that seem awfully convenient to say the least. Overall the tutorial was fine, I liked the plotline and there was some mistery, the MC actions were reasonable and I tought this novel might be pretty good but after they left and joined their first guild I got bored really quickly by the lack of progress in the main plotline and all the flaws that I could pretend weren't there when the story was interesting got exposed at once. I won't recommend this unless you like reading about a guy manipulating people for no reason in an isekai world that bends to his will, if that's your thing this might be fun for you.
