all the characters are very charming and the comedy part is amazing, as well as the plot that started to shine through starting after the 39th floor arc. Hwanghon is my favourite because hes a dumbass himbo

all the characters have their flaws and story, so you can understand why they act as they do and when you've finished season 1 of the novel (167 chapters I think), you can truly see all the foreshadowing from the beginning, especially the male lead (aka reader of fate)

as of where I am right now, it seems like its going to be a tragic ending but I think there's more chances of a happy ending because there are going to be a lot of extra chapters after the end (in around 7~8 chapters)

the author said it was a sitcom type novel and they LIED because I cried so much during reader of fate and zio's past lives, at eun seokwon's death, at the extras where it showed how zio lived with eun seokwon after her father died and her mother started avoiding her, how jirok felt about it all and geumhee's struggles with her family and inferiority complex

Zio with her lazy attitude but silent protection of Korea, Bambi who loves his sister like her other half but also worries everyday for when his sisters' powers consumes her, Guemhee with her inferiority complex but love and gratefulness for her sister, Do-hyun with his self righteous nature but also hypocrisy for his first love, The reader of fates' comedic antics but deep down craziness and possessiveness over Zio, or even Kiddo's villainous actions but he was trying to save the world in the way he knew after repeated regressions. Heck, pretty much all the local S classes in Korea all had their stories told, plus a lot of the side characters if not all of them.

"The Rankers Guide to an Ordinarily Life" a story that seemingly tells the POV of the most powerful person in the world trying to hide her abilities and live normally, but actually is a story of an attempt at trying to find a world where Zio actually lives past the age of 20. Where she, who first was shown as a lazy person, doesn't die because of her sacrificial, practically suicidal nature.

haha the war arc really. Really hurt. Back Dohyun you s*upid regressor. And Zio who couldn't accept his death, I hate you for making me have a heart attack for the sacrificial choice you chose

Also, beware of second male lead syndrome. Her love interests are practically having a competition over who's the most crazy about her. Twilight, you poor fella, that alladin carpet scene was cute but the others pretty much chose her over the world. But Reader of Fate won in the end because man really reset the world more than ten thousand times 💀💀💀 those poor Babel admins and watchmen.

There's a regressor (Baek Do-Hyun) and am glad he's only semi-like Yoo Joonghyuk. His title [Protagonist of a Ruined World] is very similar (if not, exactly the same) to Yoo Joonghyuk's and he's actually nice and all about justice like Jung Heewon. Zio's Librarization skill reminds me of Kim Dokja's inner library too.

Zio is a ridiculous monster and a free standing ruler, she is not a good person, but she is not bad, you can see as you read how she is someone who knew how to hide for more than a decade ever since little as if it was her lifeline, basically despite her nonchalant yet wild personality, status, and how she is a bad liar, she went to great lengths to protect her comfort (almost lunacy. The reason is explained in chaps 10-15, but it's related to her mother) while under the protection of her grandpa, the title is basically it, be it suppressing power (best at it), human interactions (threatening and avoiding), "Zio was a bystander who pursued non-violence, but the path of absolute was the path of absolute", if there's a threat she won't hesitate, it's scary but fun to us readers. You can see her identity will not be easily in danger just for nothing unless she let down her guard which cannot be really blamed when it happens (comedy gold). Despite being carefree and lazy, she has this tyrannical, cold, temperamental and indifferent side with her kingly nature, and caring almost paranoid side when it comes to her mother (to Zio = owner) and little bro (=mother's son) and sis.

What I like is that the country never relied on her alone as their powerhouse, it treats the fact how a single person can never solve everything themselves, like the Lion, a first generation awakener and a veteran who was always on the frontline, a hunter who would fight disasters in front. The grandpa whom the already childish Zio act more childish toward, or rather awkward facing his pampering which makes her like a rebellious grand child. Yet she still intervenes when situations were hopeless (aka to zio like opening a can of soda) and when she judged necessary, her appearance in itself was a salvation as the first S rank will allow others to be born bringing hope, so no matter the character, she always was acknowledged as a hero.

Some of her unique titles as hunter are literally : "lazy", "immature", "tyrant". While Rok (little bro) is the crazy deer/Bambi, She is the crazy cat, someone you find so adorable despite their shamelessness, extrem nonchalance and laziness (like siblings, regressor (aka butler) and the poor souls who are stuck as her friends because they'd known her since kindergarten), and the way they show love : bluntly and reluctantly, depending on the people they include in their socially withdrawn closed off "circle". Her interactions with her family is specially funny to see. And the most important, knows how to flaunt and flex whenever she can, after all, again, she is a ridiculous monster, a king was a king even if they were indolent and indifferent, even if they found it bothersome or annoying they have no reason to dislike popularity or acting strong, and her character development was my favourite thing in this story.
