I do appreciate how this manhwa raises the stakes in a certain way, but boy howdy would I like a break sometimes. Then again, I'm only whining because I can't exactly tell how HCLW can get more powerful at the moment. The last guy to present this much of a challenge was literally hacking reality (along with that cult he's in) and this time, it's a deity of sorts... so like... bruh...

Ya know, I sure hope that the "evil version" of the main character isn't the true final boss of this manhua at the very end. That would... suck.

I always knew she was an eldritch horror. el oh and furthermore el.

Yes, that seems to be the current plot point.

As someone said, this manga has turned into a city builder of sorts.

The problem I have with this is that it's a lot of talking and very little happening. This entire chapter is summarized with "some dudes plotting and chatting about the dungeon/labyrinth." It's just not particularly stimulating nor exciting. Sure, it is great for world building and all, but if this chapter doesn't exist, not much would be impacted.

Well, I didn't intend to. I was discussing this premise due to the rarity (more than anything else).

So uh, I'm guessing that the whole "Kim Dokja is becoming a constellation" thing is gonna be what gets him to the other side of this.

With that said, Mr. Main Character's "fate" is kicking in and whoever kills him is his "loved one" or however that went.

Well, when you got 9 lives like a cat... er 8 lives for each head of Orochi, you may as well expend them.

I gotta say, we've come a long way from seeing Mr. Main Character on an operating table having his legs removed - which filled me with rage.

THE AAAAAAAAAAAART
Reading this on the phone lets me turn it sideways (still locked into portrait) and enjoy it again!

I think the dad has a hard time walking a fine balance between being supportive of Mr. Main Character vs keeping him in check - as you wouldn't want your kids to do something you feel would be really bad for them.

It is hard for the dad to maintain the case of "you're failing at life" when his son is independent, successful enough to remain independent - as well as aiming to buy a home - and also married.

Human Pino is ADORABLE

2 things:
1) Cheers to Fairy Tail outlasting Hiro's next manga. el oh and furthermore el
and 2) the claim that "the opposite of Happy is Misfortune" is bold and uncommon, but I like the bolder and rare "the opposite of Happiness is Greed."

I have a feeling that the "blind" detail was an accident...

I kinda saw this coming. Thinking about it realistically, there is zero chance they're willing to accept the blame AND there is also zero chance this guy will do his job right.

If you find yourself thinking:

Yeah... and to be clear, it isn't because this is a demonic sect. This would've happened in "righteous" sects too.

This has lost a lot of steam. I kinda hope the author wraps it up before it gets stale... well, any more stale...

Yilo is right about one thing: there are times when the quality of the translation drops. That's... that's not the manhua's fault.

The quality of the plot, lore, explanation of the world generally keeps improving as the humble beginnings expands and he gets stronger and stuff. It is important to remember that quality does not drop just because the situation becomes stressful and the MC's life is in danger.

I do generally recommend this manhua... but I sure do wish I don't have to wait for updates to read more. I only recently started only reading completed comics and I dropped a lot of ongoing ones -> but this is one of the good ones that I enjoy reading when it updates.

Yeah, not to mention how you get to the sect -> by picking a random path and following it.

I want Luo Zheng to cut the temple in half. He won't even though he can.
He CAN do it because he can literally grow to 10x his size, but that's a trump card he is keeping hidden until absolutely necessary.

Warning: the man is neat freak!
"And I took that as a challenge!"

AND HE WON!

This is a silly work where the main character is a fangirl who is too busy fangirling and making plans to fangirl to actually take anything seriously, including the fact she's coughing up blood.

Seriously, coughing up blood is such a severe condition that any sane person would rate it an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10. Even if you downplay it while maintaining a semblance of sanity (as if you disregard something too hard, no on will take you seriously), you cannot rate it lower than a 6 to a really open minded audience.

Now, in the first couple of chapters, it is revealed as to why she's coughing up blood, so we know better. We know! But the characters in the novel have no idea. This is actually pretty hilarious and while the main character can play this up for immediate sympathy points, she never does -> and that somehow makes her more sympathetic to everyone.

Stuff happens, lots of stuff happens, and the story will pull some sneaky sneaky on you. If you don't like how the story ended because this reverse harem situation ends with monogamy -> and you wanted a different character in that monogamy, the bonus chapters got you covered.

Overall, a really good 8/10.
Casual reminder: I'm not IGN so that's a great score.
