@sgrey i get that, but this is the best slowburn there is. Especially considering that they are moving according to the actual story . Like this is a story abt how someone is genuenly remorseful of their past actupions and is willing to do anything to fix it , to the point where the mc dos not even value his life. In this timeperiod he does not wanna start any meaningless conflict
@Bruh I am going to disagree with you there. You seem to have read the novel of this series, which I didn't know existed and maybe the novel has more to it than the manhwa, but I am only going by what is shown in the manhwa.
The writing is quite bad, to start with. Dialogs are poorly written, the story barely makes any progress after almost 100 chapters, the world building is almost non-existent. For this to be a good slowburn novel about the regrets of the main character, it is a requirement to delve into his past, his mindset, to be quite detailed about what he went through before, what was he thinking and how he changed. None of it is in the novel. Not only do we know almost nothing about him, we don't know what he is thinking and we don't know what he wants. It's not in the manhwa, we are just guessing. All he does is eat sausages all day and that's it. Then he acts when he is "forced" to, but let's face it - he has no real reason to. This is not a behavior of a character who has a bunch of regrets.
The only thing I will agree is that the manhwa did show that he doesn't seem to care about his own life, but then he seem to be taking great care to live in comfort and have enough food to eat, to the point he is bankrupting the whole crew of the ship. What does he do with that regret of his? Nothing. A random act of kindness here and there to simply show he is maybe regretful - that's not a good writing.
I can keep going and write the whole essay about how bad this novel and main character is, but I will just stop here. I also looked up the novel and saw where this is going and I wanna that it makes no sense, which is the theme of the novel from the start.
@sgrey i totally agree with your point, but still, for me its good enough compared to the other trashua.
@Bruh Yea, there is a lot of stuff that is an absolute trash, much worse than this manhwa. I agree with that. But this manwa is no masterpiece either, just an average story. Could've been much better if the author was susceptible to criticism, but he plugs his ears and goes "lalala, my novel is just like one-punch man, so goood!".
The Absolute Regression manhwa and novel are much better slowburn regret story.
