I've read many mangas and it's extensions but not one like this. It's totally hilarious where the main goal is to make the reader laugh, laugh and laugh. I loved the plot and the jokes. It is so good.
The manga's art is fantastic, some situations are very funny, the dialogue is well-balanced, and certain chapter endings keep us on the edge of our seats.
Forget Solo Leveling, if ANY webtoon deserved to be animated, its THIS one.
If you don't like this series, you don't like fun.
The reason why i do not really like it is because mc is an asshole tbh. Which is understanable based on hiw his previous life was and his current resolve to live a carefree life through any means necessary.
I like it because they show despite him being an asshole, he is able to change fate for the better
The manwha is generic in some aspects but overall this is somewhat unique compared to other manwhas I have read
9/10. It's a comedy manhwa, so anyone's rating is gonna be pretty subjectively dependent on how much they laughed. I laughed a lot.
The protagonist is a lovable ruffian, his best friend an aide-to-camp a dashing hero providing the straight man reactions to the protagonists endless gags.
There are themes of redemption and defying fate to accompany moments of drama interspersed here and there throughout the story - it's not anything that treads new ground but they're nice bitter flavors to break up the sour-sweet flavor profile of what is first and foremost a comedy manhwa.
The story is a bit of an ode to construction workers - by volume it's about 50% action, 50% civil engineering and construction, and of course 100% comedy.
I would say that the art is above average, but the artist's unrivaled mastery of comedic facial expressions pushes an "above average" evaluation firmly into "excellent" teritory.
There are some very adorable pokemon-esque pet characters. The artist seems to have a thing for muscular red-headed women, which is not something you'll catch me complaining about.
The MC is more than just a little crazy and has the facial expressions to match.
He's competent. He works hard. He gets things done. But he'll extort a price he feels appropriate, manipulate people to get his way, and screw over his enemies tenfold. All while smiling like a total madman.
Weirdly full of half-baked grievance politics, but fun every now and then if you turn the analytical and empathetic parts of your brain off. Even doing so, it definitely felt to me like this one got over-hyped... it's pretty mid most of the time.
I didn't like the beginning. I had to force myself to read; I just didn't understand why this manhwa is one of the highest-rated on the website. The formula of problem -> MC handed something by the system that immediately solves the problem, was terrible. After the first 20 or so chapters, I became hooked and couldn't stop reading.
Despite my praise, I still can't give it higher than a 7 rating. After finishing everything available, it's still too formulaic: problem -> mc starts solving problem -> enemy interferes -> mc defeats enemy and solves problem, with barely any downtime at all before it restarts the formula. While this might be good for keeping people hooked, it's in desperate need of longer slice-of-life moments and breaks from the drama. All of the side characters/protagonists have suffered as a result of the constant action and drama, remaining entirely undeveloped. The setting remains largely unexplored even after 130 chapters. If I read a novel with such flaws, it wouldn't even earn a 5/10 rating from me, and considering this is adapted from a novel, I'm tempted to judge it the same, and I only didn't because despite my criticism it kept my attention well enough that I read 100+ chapters in just a few days.
