I wish I can like it. I have soft spot for novels that the MC reincarnated as a villain and having to start from rockbottom.

But it feels like reading a robot going through motion, there is no suspense, maybe it's because it's too early in the novel, but even from the start it's bland, and it can be cringe worthy sometime too. I had to skip one chapter completely because it was just MC defeating the Phantom Knight and it was just full of 'ARGHHHHHH' 'GEUUUUKKK' 'KAAAAAAARGHHHH' nonsense.

And it's full of info dump the author would tell you something cost 100 silver, which is 1 Gold, which is equal to (however much is it in won currency).

So it become something like 'He purchased (something) which cost him 1 Gold, equivalent to 100 silver, and (won currency) ' but make that for everything he bought. So it just repeating he bought this for (gold), (silver), (won), he also bought (thing) for (gold), (silver), (won). And he also bought (thing) for (gold), (silver), (won).

The author is also fond of info dumping unimportant thing, like he gave the worker 10 copper for extra service so she bought his foods upstairs, how much the food cost, and then he tip her another 10 copper. And then the author will describe his foods, how many dish there are, how the food is bland but the sauce is good, where he put his plate after eating...

You get the gist. Funnily enough the MC feels like a puppet rather than a character, and don't even mention other characters, because author don't have time to describe about them when he is busy describing about what foods the MC ate. It isn't even about food novel.

If you're out of novel, like, out of novel to read in this world, and an immortal thats too bored with life, you can try this.
