I say this as someone who had hate read this atrocity of a fiction to the very end. To the horrible fricking end. But let's break it down. At the beginning it doesn't seem that bad. The mysterious teacher + a disgraced genius cliche. Let's ignore the whole isekai thing since that is there literally only for the tag and has a screen time of about 2 sentences in over 1600 chapters. We get introduced to the concept of the so called heavenly flames and how MC is going to search for them in order to get big power boosts. We also learn that MC is ridiculously talented in alchemy and martial arts, but that is pretty standard in this kind of story. So the first 100 chapters pass and it seems even above average, if you ignore that the author is sexists like a 16th century monarch and that MC is in a relationship yet still has time to molest his older cousin. But then you realise that you have already read the entire story. Form then on everything is just a reskin. I am being serious...

I came to this novel after reading its manhwa adaptation. I love the manhwa... but reading it until the end of the novel, there were a few points wherein I was disappointed. Still, the manhwa is cool. What reasons to like 1. The MC - now I know that there are some who don’t like the MC, but I like how his character was developed. Since I didn’t start to read the beginning through this novel but through the manhwa, I definitely loved how the MC’s courage was developed. The account of what happened before he acquired his special levelling powers; I felt goosebumps while reading that part, honestly. I was able to embrace and sympathise with his fears at the beginning to the point wherein I celebrated when he faced his fears and overcame. Also, I appreciate that his personality changed the moment he grew stronger. Somehow, because of the betrayal he experienced at the beginning, his naivety was gone. Some might say that he is ruthless, but for me, I say that it was all because of what he w...

This novel started off very, very similar to every other damn novel with the same premise that I almost drop it within the first few chapters. Memories of MC or MC being sent back in time after an "end-of-the-world" event for the human faction and this time around he/she is not going to mess up. Almost every freaking' time the story structure would be something about MC encountering an event, access his memories or whatever and voila MC saves the day, repeat. BUT!!! this novel didn't do that! None of that BS accessing memory stuff this time around and thank god for it. It is so much better to discover the world alongside the MC. Man, when Seol (Main Character) exits the neutral zone and enters the world of Paradise for the first time not knowing what to expect. I'm all like I feel ya, I feel ya. It is damn refreshing to see a world unveil itself naturally instead of the old' samey main character who gives the reader an exposition of "oh I remember this, b...
