I was curious about the premise of this. It's just a bog standard plot with a bog standard premise. There is a chance something really interesting can come of it anyway, no?

uh... nope. Nothing interesting here. Get axed. 1/10.

1 point for being anti-racism. Racism is bad.
No points for anything else. Just move along.

They have a time limit of "whenever he's done circulating energy and stabilizing himself." They need to:
1) Find the essence core
2) Decide to give it to someone
3) Argue and bicker about it for a century
4) Kill each other over it
5) Calm down and decide to do a tournament
6) Fight over it in a tournament
6.5) Sabotages in the tournament go brrrrrr
7) Finally the victor gets it
8) The victor needs to absorb it
8.5) More sabotages

There's a 99% chance Mr. Main Character will be the one to get the essence core.

Ah yes, my favorite trope: just standing there and letting the enemy do whatever they want.
Sigh. Is it so hard to handle a situation like this properly? It's a different story if someone is just delaying for time, but that ain't happening.

I didn't read the whole thing, it isn't very good. I can confirm that this is just axed. It isn't really worth picking up.

The characters are all over the place; inconsistent and stupid

Take the most blatant and dumb tropes imaginable -> and throw them into this manga for comedy purposes

Stir them in a boring obvious plot. The plot seems to be meandering with nowhere to go, so a character is like "well, no one else is gonna move the plot" -> and proceeds to go to a dungeon -> and two others follow him.
Then there is a big, bad, scary and evil monster that threatens and attacks them -> and they take no damage. No cuts, no bruises, no broken limbs, no burned skin from getting hit by fire and lightning. The monster realizes this and casts instant-death to maybe get some damage in -> then Ms. Main Character, who is constantly banging on about how "I don't wanna die!" -> takes the blow instead of another character aaaaaaaand she's fine. Nothing happens.

Soooooo yeah... no surprise it was axed. There's desperation on display to keep the manga alive, even a last ditch effort in the final chapter featuring a naked lady for literally no reason except some fan service to hopefully revive this manga.

1/10 and the 1 point is an "A for effort" for the attempt at making a unique magic idea of sorts.
Give it a pass. If you want a "I reincarnated as a villainess who is fated to die, but I refuse this role" and it is... kinda decent, then give this a read:

Welp. I kinda saw it coming with the fact the author is the same dude who made "Wake Up Deadman" and "A Fairytale for the Demon Lord" -> the plot has an interesting premise and the art is good... but it's kinda mehhhh. The plot overall is kinda meandering once the basic premise is established and explained. The main reason to keep reading is to see if it goes anywhere interesting.

As someone who read the other two works - back in an age where manhwa were quite rare and our options were limited -> I know better. Therefore, I read around 20 chapters in total. In those 20 chapters, I received the "interesting" part of the premise -> made some guesses -> and skipped to the ending to see my guesses were correct -> and now I'm writing this review.
If you're looking for justification to ignore my review, there it is.

This manhwa author is not one I'd recommend generally. If you like him, well that's great for you but I always finish reading his works feeling unsatisfied. His art sure is nice though.

What is this manhwa about? Well, in an alternative world where everything is the same except androids everywhere and they're practically human, there exists a boy who lost his sister. No worries, she left him an android nanny who... cannot escape the disturbing accusations of grooming him - it isn't motherly when she kisses him on the lips and he tells her to stop doing that. Sure she is technically younger than him but he's a freshman at high school when the manhwa picks up and she was with him for at least 5 years sooooooooooooooo... Sigh. I dunno. Like, I get it but I just can't look past it.
Moving on: on his birthday, he gets another android.
The interesting premise here is this new android can break the one established rule of all androids: she can kill humans.
That's it. That's the big reveal. Everything that follows is busy work dancing around that premise until the manhwa decides to stop.

Maybe it gets super interesting in the mid-point, but my guesses were: "time will go on as people want the android, causing problems, violence, ruining the normal life of the boy as they try to kidnap him, etc etc etc, until the author is bored enough to finally just let them have a happy ending OR everyone dies. Flip a coin, I got heads, so happy ending it is." There is probably a specific reason for things to come to a close but I'm not about to read 100 chapters to figure that out.

Overall, like with all this author's works, "a nice art but shame about the rest of it" out of 10. That is to say: 4/10.

I have so many questions and none of them are important.
1) Why do they call it "murder" when that specific word is used to define "human killing human?"
2) Why is the maid bot... practically grooming him? You can't help but be weirded out with all the affection.
and 3) what kind of school stays open until midnight? I tried staying behind at a school once; it straight up closed around 6 pm; everyone kicked out, lights off, doors locked and security system on.

This manhwa is complete. It draws you in with a simple yet engaging premise: Mr. Main Character is pretty weak, but he still wins; he is the titular "Weak Hero."

I'll be honest, I grabbed this randomly to see how messed up bullying is in this fake nonsensical reality but I kept reading to see Mr. Main Character in action. Of the 269 chapters available, the thing I read it for was maybe around 30 chapters. He doesn't fight much but his fights are still awesome to behold; his final fight is around chapter 250 and it is the highlight of this manhwa.

What is this manhwa about anyway? Well, it's the absurd nonsense reality where school kids run around fighting and hospitalizing each other; adults are either evil or nowhere to be found; and the singular cop that shows up for all of three frames is completely useless as he falls off the face of the planet, never to be seen again. People also recover really quickly, Yakuza (the game series) logic featuring bricks for faces and really bad injuries going away in a few days to a week tops. Adjust your expectations appropriately and enjoy.

Along the way, this manhwa will introduce characters and stick to them. As it progresses, the roster gets bigger and bigger and most of them do eventually come back around to being relevant. I do like how characters stick around but this manhwa is 269 chapters and I'd estimate around half the runtime is just flashbacks. I think there is maybe one exception to the statement of "Every. Single. Character. Gets. A. Flashback." This causes the pacing to be aaaaall over the place.
Example: one character gets defeated by two other characters. It is then grandly revealed that he normally wouldn't have lost to them but he was handicapped... around 100 chapters later. I can't imagine how everyone would've forgotten about this one particular fight that was in a chapter around 2 years ago (assuming this updated once a week).

"It's got pacing issues," is what I'm saying. I'm also saying is:

Overall, despite doing so many things really well, it was mostly a miss for me. I didn't enjoy it, so like 5/10, but if you like this sort of genre then it's probably an upper-tier 8/10 manhwa?

It's been like... 100+ chapters since they beat Myles? This manhwa has a massive pacing problem.

It was hinted at directly when he went through this the first time too.

Uhhhh... if he makes it in time, he could simply request to duel some of the royal guards. No need for bloodshed. Maybe?

I'm the kind of person who "talks with his hands," as in I keep moving my hands as I talk. I can't do that in text, so... I use something else.

Also, no one communicates with "just straight out words." You can try but any message you send is completely up to the recipient's interpretations. For example: people who are unfamiliar with me tend to think I'm looking down on them. I ask why and there is no particular reason, but they think the lack of mistakes in my grammar is some sort of flex... despite the fact I use run-on sentences, randomly use ellipses, use "gonna" aaaaaaaaaand a whole bunch of other things. Sigh. Welp. That's life.
