She is finally 18. Aslan, Phon and Alber hitting on her can officially be "not creepy."

So, how do ya'll pronounce "Aubutz?"

Me? Aww-butz, with emphasis on the "but." heh

I gotta say, Mr. Main Character is a lot kinder than I expected. He only brushed aside three of these people who attacked him - instead of just slaughtering them all. I feel like he could literally punch a hole through all three of them in about the same time it took him to shoo them away.

I cannot understand that. I'm sorry.

Aaaaaaaaaaand what audible sound does that make?

Oeuf! Low blow! Unintended low blow, but low blow nonetheless!

Gotta get me a broom like this.

INDESTRUCTIBLE!

>Worried about him?
Well, to be fair, you aren't enemies. Sure, you weren't allies or something, but you never had a reason to want to murder each other, right?

I could be entirely wrong lol

In his defense, his daughter is just freakin' 14. The dad is doing absolutely nothing wrong by many people's standards.

The consistent attempts to woo Ms. Main Character started off pretty creepy and still are, to an extent.

The One Child Policy started in 1980 and ended in late 2015.
October of 2015, China declared that all couples can have two children -> so we're at the Two Child Policy.

Like... this is the "official" side of things. Unofficially, some provinces were like "we're cool with you having two kids, especially if your first one is a girl."
And now, unofficially, there is at least one province in China are sick of all this control and just let couples have any many kids as they want.

And... Here I am.
I randomly see this update, remember "oh, I read this." -> look at the update, have no idea what's going on... aaaaaaaaaaand repeat it next time I randomly see it update.
I dunno what the deal is with the sporadic updates for this manga, but you can see the release date for every chapter and it has no consistency.

I very much intend to wait until it is complete before I touch it again.
Is it worth reading? Uh... it's been too long for me to give you any proper explanation, but I do remember enjoying reading it... I also remember that it went off the deep end at one point, so there's that.

The comment section sure is upset. This is laying the groundwork to introduce more characters - which is absolutely necessary. A big deal of a sect like this and we have seen how few elites? We just got two more and it seems likely that two of these will end up dead and the other two have a chance to join Mr. Main Character.

This is all just part of the pain of reading an incomplete work. If this was complete, you wouldn't complain and just go to the next chapter.

Yeah. A few chapters ago, I pointed out the fact that Mr. Main Character and his two buddies are only children. And that isn't a coincidence but a thing that happened due to the One Child Policy. It isn't confirmed exactly, but I mean... yeah...

This work is axed.
No doubt about it. I do sincerely believe this manhwa could've ended in around 10 more chapters assuming the author wasn't going to draaaaaaag it out. Seeing how the progression of the manhwa, he really wasn't gonna drag it out... shame. /shrug

Thoughts? Great art; interesting premise; unique details (namely the sacred fire); and some well written characters. Seriously, there's a merchant who is actually human? No way!

Overall plot is decent but it seems to bend backwards to fit in an awkward frame of sorts. First of all, it awkwardly stretches itself in an angle to be an isekai. Then it bends its legs awkwardly to be video game-based and while holding up a middle finger to base itself in DLC. I wish I wasn't making that up, lol.

Funny enough, if it ditched all that and just had this story:
"This is a fantasy world that is in danger of destruction due to an evil god! I'm just some guy... at least, I think I am. I've been reliving this stretch of my life time and time again, always failing somewhere, always dying, and always trying new methods to get stronger... only to fail every time. Now! At the end of chapter 1, I have managed to gain the power of collecting my past lives' corpses to become more powerful than ever! I must succeed this time!"

If nothing else was changed other than this, the rest of the plot would not have been impacted whatsoever - and I mean plot developments. If anything, the quality would've gone up.

That aside, another issue is the premise that other details are kinda flimsy. The author pulled a sneaky by surprising us with a "aha! You thought I forgot the second corpse when he absorbed two corpses at the same time, huh? Here's what he got from the second corpse!" Lame, but fine. Okay, what about these corpses that also seemed to be skipped? ... well?

So yeah... it probably would've been sitting at around a 6/10 overall, but due to the ax, it gets half off its points: 3/10.
If you want a sort of "I gain abilities from things I kill" sort of thing, then check out the "Skeleton Soldier Couldn't Protect The Dungeon" I guess.

This guy thinks Asurascans creates manhwa. This is hilarious. Dude, they're just a translation group. The original release of this manhwa is in Korean. The only thing Asurascans does is translate it and make it look good.

Welp. Axed. Frankly, another ~10 chapters and it could've wrapped up. Here's what would happen:
1) Mr. Main Character finds the Dragon - he has that dragon slayer title, so he has some advantages in the fight against her
2) Mr. Main Character kills the Dragon and takes like 10 corpses from her
3) "Evil God" descends because uhh... I dunno, dragon's last words or whatever push this event to happen right now
4) Mr. Main Character kills it
5) ???
6) Profit.

With this, she gets the full benefit of the doubt,
https://i.postimg.cc/c4PdSxGn/i.png
that she really is just interested in the premise of "safety first!"

She would be a good leader if this manhwa wasn't going at the pace of "STEP ON THE GAS! FASTER!!! FASTER!!!" in terms of moving the plot along. Mr. Main Character's "rest periods" during his entire journey is mainly during travel, which isn't a rest period at all. Otherwise, it is when he loses consciousness after a big battle which is also not a proper rest period.

Or maybe ditch the entire isekai shtick entirely. Have it feature a fantasy world where this poor sod is trying to save the world -> to maybe stop reviving over and over. At the end of Chapter 1, he gains the ability to absorb his previous lives' abilities like this and bam!
