The world was destroyed.
Because of my boss, who was the embodiment of human tr*sh.
I thought I was dead for sure, but I returned to the past.
Although I was the epitome of corruption, the worst of the worst, who clung to that piece of human garbage…
I have no choice but to try to save that damned world.
What stands out is the portrayal of Hunters, who don't suddenly gain power; instead, they develop their abilities through hard work and the recognition of their inherent talent, though higher potential often earns them advantages. This adds depth to their character development.
I couldn't help but notice the lack of reviews for this page, so I decided to share my thoughts. One notable character is Jeong Ho-san, Yi-Sin's close friend. Their bond is heart-wrenching, as Ho-san sacrifices for Yi-Sin in their previous life, and Yi-Sin tries to distance himself in their current existence. Despite this, Ho-san remains loyal and even celebrates Yi-Sin's birthday alone, tugging at our emotions.
Another character, Yoo Seon-je, is an S-ranker and Yi-Sin's classmate. Seon-je is自私 and insensitive, causing hurt to Yi-Sin. Yi-Sin despises him, yet Seon-je's importance in preventing disaster prompts Yi-Sin to save him in their second life. The unexpected turn of events where Yi-Sin brings a smile to Seon-je's face is both amusing and impactful.
Overall, the story combines elements of action, revenge, and character growth, making for a compelling read.
However, issues began to arise later on. The narrative became slow due to unnecessary scenes and confusing plot points that didn't contribute to the story's progression. The protagonist, who started off as strategic and intelligent, transformed into someone who constantly talked about being a villain without实际行动. He didn't engage in typical villainous activities like theft or underworld operations, despite his vast knowledge.
The pace of the story dragged on, particularly when the focus shifted to describing the personal lives of his "children" within his villain organization, which felt irrelevant to the main plot. I found myself skipping large portions of the text, as it felt like 60-70% of the content was filler. The darker tone that was initially present blended with occasional humor, but the overall tone became lighter and the story停滞, losing its momentum.
While the initial idea had potential, the rushed publication schedule might have led to padding and a loss of focus on the original story arc. It's unfortunate that this affected the quality of the well-written parts. Despite these setbacks, I appreciate the author's effort.
In conclusion, while the start was promising, the novel failed to meet my expectations due to pacing issues and a shift in tone. Here's hoping the author can address these concerns in future works. Keep up the fight!
