It’s alright? Out of 5 stars I’d give 2.5 to 3. Story is lackluster. Has a lot of potential but the main character is just toooo overpowered. I get that he wasn’t all that and a bag of chips in his previous life but now his 2nd life is just too easy imo. Everything is on easy mode, he doesn’t struggle enough. He’s got it all. He doesn’t need to train his body that much cuz he’s naturally gifted, and all of a sudden he can be a legendary swords man or the heir of a prominent household. Like seriously? He has options to pick and choose from? And both garnering epic results? Life is a breeze for him. And not to mention whenever he’s troubled he resolves the problems too quickly and too easily. Everything goes too smoothly, everything is going his way. That’s why it’s not satisfying when he resolves conflicts. It’s just anti climatic. It just gets to a point where things are too predictable.
Let me just say, so far, I haven’t found a Korean action comic that can rival “the ember knight” due to all of the things I mentioned above. I’d reread “the ember knight” ten times over before I try picking this back up again. It’s THAT GOOD. Plot? Unpredictable. Characters? They grow on you and they’re not instantly overpowered so their growth is satisfying. MC’s life? NOT EASY lol, he struggles to achieve what he ends up with. Gosh, I can’t sing it enough praise.
Also if you’re looking for a similar comic where the main character is the “black sheep” of the family and has to strategically win the favor of basically everyone around them, I 100% recommend “death is the only ending for the villainess” unlike in this comic it took basically nothing to win back the favor of his dad… but whatever. His life is on EASY mode.
