A great analogy to describe this piece of work is how you would feel when burning an A5 Wagyu steak while smearing it with cheap condiments. The manhwa had great potential. The visuals were promising (compared to other generic web novels), the concept was refreshing, the initial protagonists/antagonists had memorable character designs. Unfortunately, this is where the praises stop. The writing midway starts to become blurry and inconsistent. Despite the very unique and inspired writing; notably some emotionally intense and gory scenes, the elements introduced always feel disconnected as if it was written by an elementary school kid doodling stickman wars during class time. When writingstories, every element should be utilized while every sequence should happen for a reason, and yet the logic behind this story is just pulled out of someone's ass to call it a day which becomes more obvious as the chapters progress. The salt to the wound was during the final (Busan) arc where it is self-evident that they are rushing to end the story by relying on cheesy meta (4th wall break) writing. Considering how this manhwa was originally introduced, it felt as if the potential it once had was wasted. Initially, I had rated this on my mind an 8 out of 10. I was glad to see a Korean web novel that wasn't a cookie cutter parody of other aurafarming or looksmaxxing slop, sadly like how other web novels start to degrade, the inconsistencies and poor introduction of elements led me to believe it should be rated lower. The visuals were its saving grace, but the way the story had dragged itself while rushing towards the finale, a 5 would be a fair way to score it (I'd rate it 4 personally if ignoring the visuals). It would be an insult to other works (specifically from the manga medium) to rate this disconnected piece higher than this since I've seen better writing from generic isekai slop.
