I read both the manga and the novel and I can say with a whole heart the manga is awful. The characters and MC looks/feels completely ret*rded. The novel is much better.Overall the plot is good. That being said, there are some small plot holes which if you think about it, but they could be explained with one or two words, like "imperial knowledge." ANother is is that MC isn't the smartest or something special which was implied in chapter one, being the only person to clear super mega hell mode or something. He really isn't, anything special, but my head cannon is that no one else put any effort into clearing mega hell so.... MC is more dedicated than smart. I can accept that the author clearly didn't fully understand their character in the beginning so MC was described as smart instead of dedicated.The characters are the most pleasant surprise for this new year. They have personalities, granted its 1-d but better than faceless characters which seem to dominate Korean novels.The world building isn't something special or creative. But I greatly enjoy seeing it executed nicely instead of messed up in some bizzare way.
