Something that could have been a masterpiece.

December 14, 2025

This manwha excels at slowly delivering its story, a tale about the human nature and what happens if you limit it, everything in the first 60 chapters feels off, hints of great worldbuilding that never comes, the nature of some of the characters, the dubious objective of the main character who seems to wander aimlessly.

This story is something that could have been a complete masterpiece, the last 40 chapters shine brightly unlike the confused mess of the first 50 or so chapters.

The characters while decently written, are not completely fleshed out, the mc is already complete, he has no development over the series and this is explained in the ending, some characters receive barely any background or further research into their psiche, this is the main flaw of this story. Earlier arcs are extremely confusing and their motive is completed only once the puzzle is completed

The ending is a masterpiece

Spoilers Below

..

This story tells the tale of how a single human wanted to change the world not to better the life of people nor to make them worse, simply to allow the desire of all to run rampant and not be limited by the desires of foolish gods and rampant demons, it explores near the ending how freedom of choice is of utmost importance to some and they will force it at the price of a safer world, as I have said previously, if you know the full picture this manwha comes close to a masterpiece, but very clearly it wasn’t designed to be such at the start, the author wasn’t as proficient when he first started and this is clear, his confusion is cleared near the last 70 chapters and he makes the story do a full 180

End of spoilers

Would I recommend? Only if you are able to go through 40 chapters of slop in search of a gem

Worldbuilding : 8

Characters : 7

Story : 9

Arcs : range from 3/10 to 7/10

Main character : 5/10 at the start but once the author cleared his mind at the end he becomes a 9/10

Absolute masterpiece

One of the best pieces of literature I have ever read. Up there with my love of SSS-Class suicide hunter.

I would reread this, especially the later chapters a dozen times.

At first, the protagonist seems a bit silly and the plot overly comedic or even absurd, but later on, some clues about the protagonist’s past and who he really is without that typical “forced comedy” start to appear and gradually come together. The plot and the personalities of the other characters also become more developed. I absolutely recommend reading this literary masterpiece.
