Hmm... Where do I even begin? I've effectively read this in 2 weekdays, so it was certainly engaging. Lots of toxic comments about this manhwa on many chapters, namely one dude but whatever. I did get a guy, a different guy who was complaining about the translators, to create a brand new account to respond to me, which means I won a bet with a friend to see if the guy is just that toxic -> and I won $200. Cheers bruh! Thanks for the $200! :D

Anyway, at the start, I'd give this manhwa an approximate score of around 5/10. It's slow and incredibly cringeworthy. Thing is, it is a completed manhwa, which is the only reason I picked it up, so I kept reading. Slowly, but surly, it picks up. There is always some random cringeworthy stuff here and there, but it lessens greatly.
Speaking of cringeworthy things, the author should be given a round of applause for pulling off what he did. What did he do? He took something that made me ask "WHY?" -> and by the end of the manhwa, I was like "RETURN OF THE KING!" So, good job on that.

As the manhwa picks up, the questions that pop up are "Did you come here for a fair and balanced scenario? Where stats can be rivaled by experience? Where the only reason someone wins is because they pull an amazing and unpredictable reversal that is so effective, it takes a losing situation and spins it into a victory?"
Answers: Well, you're at the WRONG PLACE! GET READY FOR PLOT ARMOR AND what the comments refer to as "ASSPULLS!"

In defense of this manhwa, I would hate it if it was just Mr. Main Character and/or his allies are the only ones that get to pull this off. Fact of the matter is: the villains do it too. It's also not guaranteed. Early on, it's set up a lot more carefully and by the end, it's a lot more frequent, but even then -> there are still times early on and later on where people just lose. Period.
It becomes a bit of a balancing act that the manhwa handles with a surprising amount of care. Will plot armor kick in? Will this "asspull" thing happen?

On the topic of the translation, it's decent. There is a grand total of 3 chapters in the middle of the manhwa where the quality drops. No deal breakers.

Oh right, to enjoy this manhwa, you'll need to suspend your disbelief for quite a few things:
People are naturally as tough as nails. Early on, a dude gets a knee to the face; not only does he not bleed, but also his glasses survive just fine.
There are virtually no side characters in existence. Random civilians, the police, jail, hospitals, teachers, love-interests, parents, siblings and all that jazz exist only when relevant -> that is to say, they're borderline non-existent. If they're relevant, they'll exist for that bit, but that's all.
I don't think this is a problem, but I thought to point it out anyway.

By the end of it, I'd give this manhwa a nice 8/10. I do recommend it.

Is this setting up some sort of Terror vs Revival?

If you're unaware, Terror Man is a manhwa that does its own thing
Revival Man is a manhwa that does its own thing
They have very brief moments where they intersect while doing their own thing - the characters do meet but don't properly interact.

aaaaaaaaaaaaand then both stories properly wrap up (I'm assuming as I'm still reading it) in Terror vs Revival.

If this author has a set up prepared across SIX DIFFERENT manhwa -> and all for them to conclude in one epic finale of a manhwa, then uh... well, I'll be waiting. I don't want to read this stuff when it is incomplete. I'm picky like that.

It was never confirmed either way. It was one of those moments where the person answers the question -> but we don't get any speech bubbles, so we don't hear it.
If I had to answer it, he is adamant that he is a guy, so... he's a guy. Trans rights, and all that, ya know?

Seok Kang should've been sent to the police. Him and all his people. For crying out loud, he ran a drug racket with them. You need to be decisive.

Soha is quite the gremlin. I hope her brother smacks some sense into her. Why? She sold her rival off to a bunch of jerks who want to go back and do more drug racketeering. They've ruined many people's lives and they would've absolutely ruined her life too. Sure, you can argue with "all's fair in love and war" which will get the response of "yeah? tell that to the police." This ain't the mid-1500s.

I called it. He should've used the mana drain and slammed his stats down to C rank. Choyun is a monster, no doubt. Seok Kang was a lesser monster, but a monster nonetheless. Despite everything, he should've been turned in for his drug distribution racket, preferably after getting mana drained.

From start to end, he was an apathetic and psychopathic megalomaniac. It isn't confirmed, but he killed his own mother while blaming her. Sexual harassment and violence is not something a parent should ever support, so she was a good mother from start to finish. Choyun doesn't deserve an easy way out like this. He needs to spend the rest of his days repenting for his actions.

Finally! A point to this flashback!

... bruh. Quest system, what is this?
https://i.postimg.cc/NGxVsRNd/i.png
I thought he pulled this stuff off on his own with his S-rank int stat.

Hmm, is the point of this to show us how the quest system came to be? I imagine that's the only goal left right now.

An apathetic megalomaniac. Did he kill his own mother? double you tea efffffff?

Also, I was wrong. He had card master.

I called it. He's a freakin' megalomaniac.
Also, the source of this picture is this very manhwa:

But it doesn't apply since he doesn't have a sad backstory.

https://i.postimg.cc/sDBtPG64/i.png
but, unlike Mr. Main Character, Choyun's backstory isn't sad or painful.

Mr. Main Character and his only friend (Yakuza) were getting severely bullied. They were stripped of most of their cloths and forced to kneel in the girl's locker room at one point. And we directly see them get attacked, including Yakuza getting a knee to the face (which, in this manhwa's logic, didn't cause bleeding nor did it break his glasses, but it's still bad, like ouch).

So far, Choyun is... just a bored megalomaniac.
Are we about to discover something to change this conclusion?

"Why are you so desperate to beat him?"
Simple question: Choyun has no reservations on literally killing everyone to make himself stronger. If unfettered, he will use his absorption skill on literally everyone, no exceptions, until they're comatose (or dead) like Daniel and Haru's friend.
There is no meme here: Choyun's goal is to maximize his card gain (and point gain for the card buffet) and absorb as many people as possible.

Also, if anyone is wondering, 568 kilograms is 1,252 pounds. An American Bison weighs a bit more than that. Also, the average car weighs ~4000 pounds.

Early on: "Why are you doing that? It's so weird and cringeworthy. UUUUUUGH!"

Now: "RETURN OF THE KING!"

Okay, all that's left is for Goo Hajoon to use the Keysi Fighting Method at full transcendence power. Please and thank you.

Ya know, I don't understand people complaints about plot armor and "asspulls" to get stronger. If they only applied to Mr. Main Character - or if they only applied to the good guys, then yeah. I'd get sick of it because there is no tension when losing -> because oh look, something is gonna happen. But that's just not true. We've had many incidents where people just lose, period. Furthermore, we've also have plenty of incidents where the bad guys also get to enjoy a plot armor or "asspull" moment.

Honestly, it's fairly balanced and it's been a mainstay trope of this manhwa from really early on.

Ya know, for all of Choyun's reign, he got too strong too fast. He never really struggled. His experience being fairly pathetic low was called out by Daniel and seeing how that fight went, it seems to be really accurate.

With that said, Mr. Main Character has done nothing but struggle, so if their stats are tied, we know who has the edge.

He has to be the author's favorite character. No two ways to put it.
