The whole story feels like it's jumping here and there. The author could have put some background knowledge and cement some ideas in our mind in the start about the whole hero concept and added tiny bits information about the war (like when the war started etc, what kinds of wars there are) to flesh out the story. But no, the author just jumped into the story and the reader has to keep guessing as to whether a certain event happened before a certain point in time or after a point in time. Usually this style of writing can be used as intrigue but this doesn't give intrigue but sloppiness because there is no foundation at all. Moreover, the characters and story are so one-dimensional and everyone has a max IQ of 100 (most of them have normal working brains but none of them particularly stand out in of wits or dumbness) that the whole story feels flat and off. Maybe the adaptation from a novel just didn't go well but the scenes just ended up less brainless, but equally flat as that of a 8-grade syndrome type of story.

And if it goes like the original novel, it has one shitty depressing ending too. Man of all the manhwas/Korean LNs I've given a try over the years I think only two have not ended up being a tragedy. What is up with people over there actually wanting to feel miserable while reading fiction?

If you really enjoy comedic misunderstandings (which is different from drama based on a misunderstanding that could have been fixed with a simple conversation), then the first 30 or so episodes are amazing. After that, it starts forgetting the comedy and instead emphasizes his trauma and demon/human world conflict. At which point it starts to drag a little. I'm up to chapter 59 and still mostly enjoying it, but I haven't laughed in a while and I just don't care about the plot as much without the comedy.

Holy tragedy... the story of deon hardt starts out rough but ends in sorrow WTFFFF

read if u like psychological revenge. heavy emphasis on "psychological" there's a lot of ptsd going around. First 20-30ish chapters are heavy with the misunderstandings played for comedy but it gets better once we get more backstory

There's also politics and stuff but it's very convoluted and all like "Ohh i anticipated that ohhh i knew u would anticipate my prediction Yadayadaya" so i wouldn't count on it. if u read, read for the angst

I don't know what the other reviewers are smoking but the whole point of Deon is that he can't reconcile with the actions of his other nature. That is literally the whole point. These people are expecting him to suddenly overcome 8 years of trauma and survival skills to be the 'OP Protag that has no flaw'
Not to mention, this isn't a misunderstanding, it's a misconception from Deon himself.

It drags on and on. Many of the chapters could be summarised in half.

Stories about misunderstandings require a certain finesse to work at all, and that's entirely absent here. The protagonist believes everyone is deluded to consider him strong, even though they witness him do stuff which he just doesn't afterward. That degree of obtuseness is just as infuriating here as it is in the worst romcom protagonists.

Other than that, the art is also unappealing.

Anyway, if you'd like to read a much better story which involves comedic misunderstandings, check out The Saga of Tanya the Evil instead.

Starts off as a misunderstanding comedy, but is now an edgy action story with a storyline that doesn't add up. Not a fan of the emporer character, seems very generic to me.
