Even though it has been discontinued, it is well worth reading. I also read the novel, and the development is exciting and satisfying, it's a shame the manhwa wasn't finished.
One of the strongest aspects of a webtoon is the ability to "show and tell," as opposed to the more popular phrase "show, don't tell." With visual storytelling, you can convey your story through both words and art, unlike a traditional novel where words alone spark the reader's imagination. This unique medium offers a balance between narrative and illustration, creating an engaging series if the creators know how to use both effectively. Unfortunately, this series failed to achieve that balance in more ways than one.
The writing style is particularly problematic. There are countless instances of phrases like "Not only this, but also this..." and "There are two things that..." This repetitive and uninspired approach became tedious and unexciting, leading me to stop reading after 93 chapters. Complex and concepts could've been explained more effectively without resorting to lengthy monologues by the main character. Successful stories like "Solo Leveling" demonstrate how to use s to communicate the protagonist's ideas while showcasing stunning illustrations.
It’s also clear that the artist struggled. There was excessive reuse of illustrations and s, likely due to the author’s constant explanations and repetitive storytelling.
The plot is your typical reincarnation story, where the main character strives for a better life than they had in the novel, but faces constant obstacles. It's a trope we've seen many times before. However, in this series, the main character starts off wealthy, unlike in "Descent of the Demon Master".
When in 2 consecutive s, the translation is different for the same thing, it's time to stop.
The pace is ok, and about the art, it's strange to have yaoi-like art, but not deranging.
I think there are a lot of information which are either missing, or badly translated.
And this queer baiting is half-assed, at best. Whoever said the art reminds them of yaoi needs to take a good hard look at their choice of yaoi because the art for this is ugly af.
My God, if this was BL I'd have dumped it at chapter 10. I thought, as a mid level manhwa with game mechanics created for the under 18 crowd it might be okay but I can't do it anymore. Art keeps getting uglier and uglier, and the 3D assets are NOT helping the storytelling any.
3.5 but that's just me being generous.

The story is mostly enjoyable but the art stays subpar throughout the whole series. The artist doesn't know how to draw emotion and it is either comical or they use the same shadow effects over and over for emphasis.
The characters can be insanely dumb sometimes too in really annoying ways. I'll change the subjects to avoid spoilers but it went like this
comes out of house, sees newly dead person being nibbled on by blue rats
looks at person standing in front of them holding blue rats
"Is this your doing?"
No man its definitely just a coincedence they are holding all those blue rats...
The story is interesting, but the art does not. It's like reading a third rate webtoon, and to make it worse the character models looks like BL characters even though it's not.

For those that might be put off by it, contrary to what the cover and first few pages of the 1st chapter suggest, this is not BL or yaoi, so far at least, it does have some.. ambiguity to it thou, I wish it could be more clear cut about it so those who like or dislike can judge if they want to read it beforehand (I read somewhere that the MC ends up with a woman, but I can't know if it's true or not, but, the novel has 260+ ch and doesn't have the shounen ai tag so there's that). Also, the MC in no villain, not in the slightest (so far), he just takes over the body of a pampered rich punk who acted like an a**.
I found this one quite good so far, MC is decent and well rounded, the world so far is ok, thou we've seen very little of it so there is no telling on how consistent or well/badly built it is. At least thou, the author is taking some time to explain the powers and important characters and their backgrounds, this slows a bit the pace but is a good payoff imo. Also, as I've come to expect from moderm manhwa, the art and flow of battles is good.
Overall, it's similar to "Omniscient reader's point of view" in many aspects, of course, this one has a setting more reminiscent of "Global Martial Arts", "Auto-hunting", even "Solo leveling" or similar manhwas, with people gaining skills when dungeons/portals appear in the world.
