Writer couldn't conform to the source material and yet still wimped out on a definitive ending.
Too many incoherences and nonsensical stuff.
Maybe it's due to the translation i found, but still there are many silly things.
As you read the story it explains the current and previous timeline story and it builds up on it super good. Desir my GOAT 🙏

It starts off well enough, with promise
It doesn't live up to it
It fails in the matter of power scaling.
And it's kinda funny how the 'terrorist organisation' is morally in the right but our mc has to go against them anyway in order to further his own (important) goal.
Occasionally they have to delve into what feels like side-quest storylines [Shadow World arc] (it's dressed up as storylines based on past events but they feel so incredibly different in tone and setting and most events that it's clear its based on videogame side-quests and dungeon runs). And those are usually interesting. But it's so completely different to the rest of the series, it's kinda jarring.
Side characters are mostly a disappointment. The woman who I assume is the main romance is interesting, at least. But she's also kept mysterious in that we don't get enough development from her.
Also it's just straight-up silly that there are 100% people who the mc can trust with his Returnee secret but...he just...doesn't. For literally no good reason.
Start would be a 6.5-ish, the side-quests a 7.5, later parts imma say it's a 5. If you want things blown up, you can read this.
It was never great, but it was enjoyable at first. The pacing of the last two seasons is unreasonable, things don't feel real. Major "advancements" are dealt with so quickly their impact is unclear and they carry no weight.
Example of the pacing issues is (very minor spoiler):
The fights, which were never great, get more and more incomprehensible and hence boring. The art isn't good enough to be a draw on its own.
After reading 200 chapters it feels like a complete waste of time. Portals give you crystals because leveling up blah blah blah. This has been done so many times before it's ridiculous. The story is so boring and incoherent I honestly don't think even the author cares what's happening anymore.
Storytelling, dialogue and action flows naturaly it's pretty enjoyable trip when you read it compare to another isekai manhwa it's easily 9.5/10 althought there's a minor flaws but it still entertaining. I read it on kakao and already spent lots of coins to support the artist
Nothing written is particularly unique and you can easily guess whats going to happen next and even what people are going to say most of the time.
Packed full of shallow flat characters devoid of any personality outside of how they feel towards the protag&friends. This was supposed to be about magic but instead its barely just the generic "Grr im a noble, I hate commoners!" drivel.
It's like somebody perfectly gathered ideas that have already been done before except they changed absolutely nothing about it.
