This is an alt history story about a modern gym enthusiast and bodybuilder who introduces a bunch of modern concepts and technologies into the former kingdom of Korea, in particular bodybuilding and improved firearms.
The bodybuilding is fun regardless of its implausibility. (You'd assume there was neither sufficient metalworking know-how to make the gym equipment, nor sufficient nutritious food to support bodybuilding.)
However, the firearms and warfare aspects of the story leave me cold. They're comparatively unoriginal, in that you've seen stuff like this before in other stories. Plus the politics don't make a lot of sense, since the MC introduces new firearms but must then immediately provide some as tribute to a larger geopolitical power. Which makes it a highly questionable move to introduce new military tech in the first place.
In short, in the WN, he tortures others before killing them.
