Changed 2/5 to 1/5. Story filler padding content gets amplified at least 3x by chapter 100 when MC's power-system becomes lessons on Korean cultivation 101 with all the nonsense that comes with: yin and yang, the tao, divine whatever, the heavens, heavenly whatever nonsense, breathing, etc.Half of the names come from the School of Silly Names™, Korean Edition. One of the female leads is named Full Frame (or Full Flame, Furu Freimu, etc, etc.) The author uses a significant amount of handwaving for major events in order to avoid actually describing concepts at the very beginning without any real description. Example: MC gets three questions perfectly correct that are super hard and super tricky at the very start of the story. This is used as a main plot point for quite some time and the branching start for a lot of ongoing misunderstandings.What did he answer for those questions? NO ONE EVER KNOWS OR EXPLAINS IT. But they'll gush endlessly about how hard it is, how a student couldn't solve it, and that even the top powerhouses of the world couldn't solve it when they were students. Hang on, bruh. Why everyone so goddamn ret*rded in webnovels at the start just to make MC look better in comparison? Got nothing better than SUPER PUN KNOWLEDGE?The only thing you can be sure of is that the questions required an amount of Korean-word-game creativity at the level of s*upid puns and wordplay. No. Really. That's how it's explained. Additionally, MC even refers to related content as "nonsense questions." He even had a study session for a whole chapter with one of the female leads characters just to play silly word games with her. Might as well be Korean puns or dad jokes since it's in the same vein of bad humor.Most of the story is mid or lesser. The author avoids having the MC make any actually difficult choices about his path through the story because quests pop up that basically tell him "do this thing or die." MC just ends up being the happy victim of circumstances as the author ever-so-steadily removes all agency or personal motivation from the MC other than "survive."TLDR: Incredibly s*upid beginning with the pun nonsense. MC is basically a god of knowledge in comparison to the mortal minds that he stands above since his thoughts are a treasure trove of lame jokes. Story is mid with a lot of silly names and inconsistent, yet inflated descriptions of major events that are effectively left blank. MC got three puns right on a trick question quiz, and everyone is super-amazed about his genius. They're so amazed that he LITERALLY SCORES A ZERO ON EVERY OTHER PART OF THE EXAM, then gets placed into the special S Class. It's got a misunderstanding tag, but the execution is painful due to the fact that everyone's having an entirely different conversation whenever they talk to each other.
