Sigh. I dunno if this was rushed, axed or just kinda sorta incompetently written. It's overall enjoyable but blehhhhh.

For one, characters dropping off the face of the planet, only to be remembered 50 chapters later. No really. Some characters don't return at all.
The manhwa tries to pull a plot twist out of nowhere and pretends "if you were smart, you would've seen this coming!" Ah yes, a character only barely mentioned is a mastermind of sorts?
An obnoxious need to devalue all sorts of events by attributing them to all sorts of other things.
Action sequences that are more "show, but the results are whatever the author wants." At one point, straight up, a character distorts and fractures space itself, goes for the killing blow after kindly taking an hour to explain his abilities -> and the author is like "okay, enough of that" and reality itself shifts to make sure the baddie survives so we can get to a more impressive set piece.
"And the grand reveal is..." and it doesn't tell you so it can save it for a later time. I hate this trope so much nowadays.
A major plot point got introduced, emphasized but then discarded. Some plot hole of sort happens apparently and it is shrugged off.

So, what is this? It's about an unfortunate kid who, spoiler alert, accepted all the pain, sins and suffering of the world -> dying. He reincarnates, faces misery and repeats this over and over again. This "second life" is far from the second life. He is in this eternal cycle of suffering to keep the abyss at bay, sealing a part of it within him as it also has to endure the same cycle. Why? Well, you know how there are 12 disciples of the mage who "made" the world? He's number 12 and this was his role. This is where the major plot point of "transcendent beings must ascend" falls flat as disciples 10, 11 and 12 are all still on the planet but somehow eh, its fine. Being a sick kid destined to die yet again, the uncle does everything he can, morals? never heard of them -> to figure it out how to cure him. He figures it out but it is rejected because stupid plot reasons I didn't really understand. And then, out of nowhere, his dad is actually the 1st disciple and he wants to force humanity to combine their efforts to combine all of humanity to fight the abyss 100% of the time. No peace, constant war, but it ensure the planet's survival and prevents humanity from going extinct. Winning that fight, the dad is revived? how? lol

It is a mess. Early-ish on, two orders come in: one to kill Mr. Main Character, and one to protect him. The story wastes no time in switching the roles of the assigned characters, resulting in the protector going nuts to kill him -> but he gives up halfway through the fight, abandons his life to send his "son" away -> and we never see that plot point ever again. Author forgot. /shrug

4 or perhaps 5/10.

Yeah. We humans are social animals; straight up: life is better with a companion.

Those eyes, and the silver/white hair. Is that a Zero?
Also, I wonder if the world would've ended if this actually happened:

I'm talking about how season 2 ended.

As Yahtzee said: "As Nietzsche said, "Gaze ye not into the abyss, lest the abyss's boyfriend get narky.""

I see "End of Main Story."
Alright, onto the reading list. By the time I get around to it, the extra side-story stuff will be complete. I have like 40 different works on my reading list, all completed works. lol

HEY! I HAVE FAMILY LIVING IN MICHIGAN! D:

Also, I would like clarification on the Cthulu Devil
https://i.postimg.cc/4d1zjct5/i.png
Did he get eaten? Is this why I barely see Cthulu memes nowadays?

Overthinking? Yes.
How much? Very much.
Really? Yes.

He overthinks so much that when Grid equips gear that boosts his dignity (to have a great first impression with the tailor) -> it passes a check in the NPC's head -> and he gives up. Grid is just standing there, dumbfounded because this count just gave Grid a list of the entire Anti-Grid Alliance AND used his sword on himself. lol

It is complete, for what it is worth. And I do like it enough to recommend it.

I get that Mr. Main Character was... quite the goofball as they were growing up, which is why his friend isn't keen on the idea of these two kids dating... but like, look at how he turned out. Also, importantly, his son isn't nearly a troublemaker. He's the unfortunate butt of every other joke but he's been taking it in stride.

Different genres. One is a "look, Isekai with Mr. Main Character with cheat ability" while the other is "this is the world now, and Mr. Main Character puts in hard work."

If you want the former -> I can recommend this: https://mangakatana.com/manga/my-wife-is-a-demon-queen.22283
Mr. Main Character's ability on creating stuff is sooooooo OP that not only can do it effortlessly, but he can do things that no one else can, like creating Mecha suits and, importantly LITERAL NUCLEAR BOMBS! No. I'm not joking. It's hilarious. It also takes time to get there.

I will say, the Queen froze the pacific ocean with one wave of her hand.
Whenever he masters frost, he should be able to freeze the entire bird while holding onto it.

(No, this isn't spoilers from the book. I still haven't been reading it)

I am surprised he didn't kill his son. What a waste of the air he breathes...

I dunno what they're voting on, but it's probably to penalize Mr. Main Character.
