SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER ALERT tldr was okay was readable but leave enough dogshit lying around and eventually its all you can smell. PROS Cool idea Art becomes Martial Art Mc is meritocratic CONS Smart mc is actually a moron Mcs struggles with morals are extremely limited and swayed away in the next sentence. Moments dont get their moments. This manhwa starts off really strongly with everyone being weak. MC is the older brother who has an incredibly weak constitution the younger brother has a good constitution. Younger brother gets scouted by some martial artists. Some old geezer comes and drops some heavy art on these kids. MC is a bright kid who gets enthralled with this giga art loses tracks of days on end the dad who is the only capable person left in the family slowly loses it from the mc being enthralled by this painting for years. Eventually that ends because some other geezer tries to yoink this painting for money and the dad is so horribly desperate to get rid of it the he sells it for ultra cheap he lacks critical information. All of this is really cool I dont really rate when shits going smoothly I just wanna enjoy the ride and not approach it critically so I can enjoy it the way it is meant to be enjoyed. One day the mc is hired as a warrior escort during which he meets gramps who is a fucking unit of a man and looks same age as mc and teaches mc some cool shit. Mc goes back to his own house gramps reveals hes mcs gramps. They then go to find the younger brother who is facing scrutiny for not being a nepo baby and they announce to the entire area that theyre in that the younger brother is also the son of this great gramps or whatever showing you that he is in fact a nepo baby and therefor shouldnt be looked down upon. Interest drops. WE MUST CONTINUE THE READING BECAUSE IT MIGHT BE GOOD. They go to gramps base. attempts on lives happen mc chases guy that looked to be responsible but the guy thrusts his weapon into his own heart and instead of bringing his head back or just his body to question the culprits about who that man is he just goes oh hes dead and leaves. Mcs smarts are evidently not present here. Then some other character magically revives this guy with some undeath acupuncture finger whatever. Interest drops rapidly BUT IM COMMITTED IVE STARTED READING WE MUST PUSH ONWARDS TO A BRIGHTER FUTURE SURELY ITS WORTH READING. A lot of chapters are muddied together in my head because they lack set up and connection to each other. Doesnt feel like a lot of effort just this shit happens bla bla bla. Every enemy feels like theyre just filled with rage for no actual reason just rage and hatred because.. evil? idk. Eventually the author starts killing off enjoyable power houses in order for other characters to shine to grow to replace these power houses? One powerhouse asks mc for favour THIS MIGHT ACTUALLY BE REALLY COOL AND INTERESTING Heres where the issues start being too visible for me to close my eyes and just enjoy the ride. Suddenly theres a fat eunuch who is actually a hidden power master level 9000 and regrew his balls who is just pretending to be a normal guy while he secretly fucks every woman in the kingdoms palace including the princess that you are introduced to 5 chapters earlier. This is where the illusion of this being a readable manhwa shatters. As I write this I realize theres never an actual good panel where fighting has been resolved in a satisfying manner. Power levels are never visualized just named. I would never recommend anyone trying to get into this because its ultimately mid and does not get better if youre struggling with the length because theres nothing happening its because its simply not good. Cool intro cool characters that were unfortunately killed. Starts to really drop off until this last straw hit me. Which was unfortunate because I wanted to see him be that kids master. I however will not eat a shit filled burger just to taste the sauce.
