It's quite rare for me to give such a low rating.. The premise is amazing, that's the reason I put this novel in my library, apparently in the end I'm greatly disappointed. The translation still bearable, a little stiff but still fine for reading experience. The story development is cliche, mundane with a lot of cut out 1-D cannon fodder with tons of senseless logic that's bordering on strings of Deus ex machina. In regards of character design, the MC idea is good but I truly can't fathom how idiot the MC turned out to be, the hunting adventures already told us how much of muscled-brain he is which is just how irritating to remember the very same person boast a very high theoretical foundation.. For the other characters I have explained my position... But the one that takes the cake is the world building, truly sloppy, lazy, without any regard for historical context, the author never takes proper research to establish the world building, the origin level, the world evolution, etc. Each of them is contradicting every established statement that was made just in previous chapters... I just choose to stop reading when the author stated that hot weapon is gone, strategic approach is no longer followed, not mentioning how insane it's that such an important model analysis skill actually put as underrated in the world where advancement of science already at its height... I'm sorry for the translator to pick this work, there are many other work that need translation that is better than this one... Peace, sorry for my ranting

What makes it worse is that the author is using the MC's dead dad as instant concrete to solve all of the plot holes. World doesn't make sense? Mysterious dad does mysterious things because "there is something wrong with the world". Meanwhile let's see what how the MC face slaps the next cardboard rival. Lazy and incompetent writing at its finest.

One of my favs. Currently up to date at Chapter 551. Glad to see this novel made it here. I'll try and leave a semi-detailed review. Starts out slow and the MC doesn't feel strong, but then boom, MC gets really OP and the story just takes off. Don't abandon it, trust me it gets amazing. I also love the detailed explanations and the effort the author puts into makes everything sound plausible and logical. World-building is amazing. Initially it's very lacking but as more and more details are revealed, you start to see the scope of the world and understand the situation a lot better. Def wait before judging the world-building. Characters are amazing too. Have their own beliefs and personalities. You understand how different characters think and when the focus shifts to a different character, you instantly get an idea of how he's going to act. The villains are great too. Some are kinda one-dimensional but others(like *minor spoilers* a certain head of a family) are actually well-developed characters. MC feels strong but not totally OP and there's some really decent conflicts here. I absolutely adore how he uses his brain to solve everything. You can see his thought process and can foresee his plans and how he experiments with his ability and it makes him feel a lot more relatable. The reader can follow alongside his plans and ideas. Like, one minute you'll be like "what if he does this thing with that thing" and 2 paragraphs later, he realizes that too, and does that thing and it's so satisfying. Honestly there's not much more I can say. Theres very few cliches and deus ex machinas and it never gets boring except for a little bit at the start. Definitely give it a read. I binged it in 2 days and loved it. Don't get discouraged by the slow starting point of the MC. Stick with it and it'll be a really great read.
