Weirdly enough, this novel reminds me of a infinite flow danmei novel. It's not infinite flow, it's way better than infinite flow, but it kinda has that feel to it. It has a lot of the best tropes from an infinite flow novel, like the MC is more competent than he should be, the ML is a complete psychopath, they both know more than they should, there's a big bad who knows the most, and there's horror elements. It's just all set in one world and there's no interdimensional shenanigans.It's very well written, the characters are likable and the world makes sense. I love all of the tropes in infinite flow novels but I hate switching worlds and MLs so this novel is just perfect for me.The novel is greatly held back by the translation. It's very obvious it's MTL and it's sloppy MTL. Another reviewer mentioned the issues with keeping track of gender which is very common for MTL because Korean doesn't use pronouns the same way that English does so the MTL AI has to guess the genders to make English sentences work. There are also times when multiple paragraphs are repeated, almost like the translator was copying them out of their MTL program and didn't realize they'd already copied that section in. I'm still giving it five stars because it's not fair to the novel that the translator is so lazy.
