Wasted potential
2/5 Stars (%44/100)
PS: I'm writing this review for Season 1 of the series (First 50 chapters).
The premise of the series: Ryu Han-Bin, ex-military, is chosen and transported into a magical world. Everyone is given a guideline (you can level up, use stats, see skills etc) but his guideline is glitched. So, he spends a long time in the tutorial area because he can't level up properly. This is why he is super strong.
It was okay in general. I would have quit but I wanted to give it more chance and I managed to finish the 1st season. There are a lot of problems with this one and I won't continue with the 2nd season. It actually starts out pretty interesting. When we get past the introduction part, the problems start to occur as well. Here are some things that bothered me:
1)The pacing is terrible. It is very slow most of the time. However, sometimes, especially during the fights, it ends so quickly that you don't even have any time to comprehend. Because the pacing is almost always slow, it gets boring to read and I really forced myself to finish mere 50 chapters.
2)The protagonist is problematic. I love overpowered main characters but there needs to be a balance. Our MC is so strong that even absurdly strong villains are piece of cake for him. So, no matter how brilliant you write the fight scene or draw it, it becomes meaningless because you know the MC will just beat him in 2 hits or something.
3)There is a lack of interesting characters. The MC is interesting and funny most of the time. Other than him, there is Atisse and later Ephyr. Lots of characters are introduced but they are easily forgettable and you don't see them after 2 chapters anyway.
4)The worldbuilding is bad. There is not enough explanation for the power system, the world, its people, the otherworlders, and so on. Sometimes something happens and you don't know what is going on. There are also other times where you see 5 pages of information about some skills.
In short, the series had a potential but that potential is wasted really quickly. I liked the humour, the character design and art style. However, those are secondary when compared to plot and characterization. Try it if you are curious but I'm dropping the series after Season 1.
