It was alrightIdk if it will improve in the future but so far, the novel feels like the average Korean WN. It got all the good stuff like weak MC growing stronger using system/help from an unknown source. He gets underestimated but grows stronger and dominate etc. The modern world turns into a game like Dungeon raid with people using superpower to kill monsters and harvest them as resources. Basically long story short it is a discounted Solo Leveling but less emotional and epic (not saying Solo Leveling is anything original, it just manages to do it really well while this novel is just mediocre). There's some interesting spin like traveling to another dimension and doing quest similar to Dimensional Mercenary and MC grow stronger and get loot/skill from that instead of hunting monster but not enough to carry this novel.Putting lack of originality aside, the characters are pretty flat, with only a few are fleshed out and most of the villains are boring as f*ck. The MC is also kinda boring, he is not s*upid good and naive like average JP MC but also not overbearing like CN, well his alignment isn't the problem, tbh I prefer his kind as I'm tired of the extreme one, it just the way the author tells his story and his character is very flat. Yea he got a very interesting background that got teased once in a while but other than that it is very difficult for the reader to relate with the MC nor feel any emotion on top of the fact that there is just very little interaction between characters so far. So most of the time you just watch the MC do his thing, beat quest using clever tactic and strategy (which is kinda fun), grow stronger, some stuff happens but it's no biggie and rinse and repeat. Yea there are interesting moments here and there but it just can't compete with its predecessor like The Novel Extra, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint or Solo Leveling etc etcHighly recommend you read them instead if you haven't already, this is not the worst novel you could read to waste time but if you expect anything more then go find something else
