this novel is my JAM—Quick Note: Every 'plot hole' you find has a reason for being there!Spoiler
Once you learn the answers, you'll wonder why you didn't think of them sooner. [collapse]You may go into this thinking Cale knows everything and this is a power fantasy, it's not.From the beginning it's addressed that Cale's very existence changes the plot, even his simplest actions have major consequences (good and bad). Actually, he reaches the end of his knowledge of the plot fairly early in the story. Almost every character has a unique personality, when one is introduced, no matter how minor their role is they progress the plot in some way.Cale is actually one of the weakest (main) characters, but the way he does things makes him seem strong because he won't let anyone get hurt. Spoiler
Why does Cale remember the book so well that he can even directly quote it? Why is he so good at taking the lead? What happened to the OG Cale, what about the body of Kim Rok Soo?

Spoiler
He has no regard for his own safety. This is actually addressed in the novel.
[collapse] He casually coughs up blood nearly every chapter (its actually a good thing) and faints a lot too, but not in an annoying way if you catch my drift.Cale's bad at communicating, which leads to hilarious misunderstandings, especially by the villain such as:Spoiler"Father! This esteemed Sir is a god!"
"You're an envoy of the gods and have transmigrated through thousands of years to stop me!"
"This boy is a dragon!"
*Thwarting an evil God's power by asking if he could be a slacker*
and much, much more!
[collapse]He just wants to be a slacker, but is down to the bone a good person (even if he won't admit it). He can't live a slacker life knowing that bad things are happening, this man is straight willing to get the worst injures while saying "I'm fine, also how dare you get hurt."SpoilerViscously scolding Choi Han after a he found out what Choi Han gave up to help him.
[collapse]He gets a very large found family, and care for them deeply even if he doesn't say it. He's pretty much a dad to the three youngest, even giving them an allowance, even his ancient power are part of the family even if he's the only one that can hear them.There's so much more but anyway, this story is wonderful and I highly recommend it!
