So... the novel itself is a good read, but no way perfect... TQ 4/5 some mistakes, and sometimes hard to read but overall good quality. SU 5/5 no problems, only sad it ended :D SD 4/5 Story development is ok, some suspense early, nice sequance, altho sometimes jumpy, but everything ties together some way or another. CD 4/5 almost 3/5 (which is still good) characters are... well simple, the bad guys are bad guys the good guys are good guys... in my oppinion some development was needed for side characters more then the others and it was lacking in depht over all, but no glaring mistakes in characters or anoying people. WB 4/5 not really that bad the plot follows ussual korean style where the people from US and Japan are the most f*d up kind of ppl, or just Japan... there is logic in the world building, and something is "happening" besides mc dooing or him knowing... but still a bit bland nothing really unpredictable or hard to come up with while waiting for updates... Over all the novel got famous for the manga, and I think manga did a better execution in some places (like epicness (mostly because of art))... I think it's a good read even if you read the manga, personally read it 2 times and think it's a good way to spend time, some things are lacking, and if it's one of your first novels I highly recomend reading it.
