Overall, this is good (7.5-8/10), but the art changes pretty early to a worse style that doesn't fit the themes or vibe of the story at all. OP MC is badass but faces no challenges. It's one of those "martial master reincarnates into a wimp good-for-nothing" type stories, but it's murim MC to medieval Europe setting. MC makes no attempt whatsoever to fit into previous guy's life and just does whatever he wants with "a warrior/king/real man faces his problems directly" rationale. This gives him "chad" vibes but it's not good for the story and internal logic. The changes are for the better (wimp to warrior) so everyone just accepts his new attitude even though he's obviously a totally different person. This is definitely one of the best stories with these very common and tropey negatives. Him training his underlings to succeed is probably the best part of this since he basically cannot lose a fight or a war ever.

the art does not look ai to me

all style no substance, the manhwa. a shame since MC has a cool character design

Not bad by any means. 7/10. However, the artist draws every minor event like it's the most hype thing you've ever seen. Every idea MC has is illustrated like it's genius even if it's the most straightforward, mundane thing you can imagine. MC gets beat up or surprised much more often than he has some smart idea. His biggest actual skills are reading and persistence, but what's much more center-stage is plot armor no jutsu, deus ex machina, and magical maguffin saving him from danger. The story also has a big problem with its setting; it establishes a magic/combat school setting but it seems like 90% of the story happens in some Dragonball Z alternate reality space meant for training. Even if it's good in terms of art and action, the plot is pretty muddy and the exposition is forced from a ghost mentor type character who has literally no reason to share info besides "the audience needs to know."

i know it's a nitpick but damn this artist cannot maintain visual continuity to save their life. way too many panels looking at MC from the right and then switching to looking at him from the left when he attacks or something. it's like visual art 101 to be consistent in left/right organization

All i know is that harem comics are steaming piles of goggledegook

If you're only reading what's unique and good, then why are you on this site? There are maybe 4-5 stories on this entire website that fit that description. "Worthless Regression," a story which, by its title alone references "regression," the most hackneyed and unoriginal premise in this genre, cannot be "unique and good." What I'm saying is that before even going into a story, there are markers, tropes, etc. that give you a hint about its quality. Harem is one such marker that announces "this is very likely garbage." And I'm not talking about 'average' as a matter of known quality (5/10), I'm saying, if you picked a harem comic at random, it being shit is more likely than if you picked a non-harem in the same genre at random. Who the heck goes into a manhwa saying, "I know this will be mediocre, but I'm going to read the whole thing and like it."

having harem is a big indicator of trashiness and bad writing. the average harem story is worse than the average monogamous story, just on the basis of how female characters become flat character collectibles. 6 female characters with no personality besides loving MC getting screen time cannot but make something worse in every single case.

i felt the power scaling would be terrible from the first 10 chapters

i think it's more sus to see gay stuff where it doesn't exist. maybe you have some inner fantasies to explore

as if most action manhwa isn't filled with a bunch of collecting women horniness garbage. that is way worse than anything that happens in this

1. it's korean, so not manhua. 2. your misogyny is making you see phantoms where they don't exist

several k-dramas are based on manhwas so that tracks

The title of this manhwa is one of the most inaccurate to the content i've ever seen. "My Naughty Dragon Won't Stay Out of Trouble" would be closer at this point. I don't get why the title is from the POV of the girl. She is a minor character in this story, at best.

MC is good before and after becoming a girl. It has very little impact on the plot. Unfortunately, author does too much. The mecha addition is so pointless and lame. I could deal with the politics and military strategy, but that on top of goofy mecha stuff makes like 40% of the chapters tedious. Also, there are more characters than a russian novel, all of whom have their own extensively developed subplots. The level of detail in this manhwa is maybe the best in the medium, full stop, but it's maximalistic to the point of being confusing. With the number of characters, political threads, and plotlines, you basically have to binge or you'll forget everything. It's almost to the point where you'd have to take notes to understand what's going on in later chapters because you get extended scenes with people from every country and it becomes unclear if you should be rooting for or against them, and what their relationship is to the MC. This would be way better if the scope of the story was limited to MC because he is the best part by a mile. One of the most enjoyable OP MCs i've read.

10/10. No joke, the most consistently enjoyable murim alongside Chronicles of Heavenly Demon, Absolute Sword Sense, Return of the Mount Hua Sect, and Return of the Crazy Demon. If you like this, do yourself a favor and read those.

i've read this 3 times and never detected any gay stuff whatsoever. you might be just seeing what you want to see.

harem is always a good barometer for quality - if it has it, there's a 90% the manhwa will be shit

do your same standards apply to men?
