Meh
This manga likes to betray me. Just like my mother. Unlike my mother, this manga isn't a highly accomplished professional, and I resent that. But it also isn't a middle aged nagging woman, so I say it's a three stars overall. Anyway, let's get into the specifics.
First betrayal: the art. It starts great. Then the style changes. Then the quality drops. Then it gets good again. Then dad's face is like totally different. But the character design is good! Scratch that they are all similar FÙCK.
Second betrayal: the story. It started by seducing me. "Oh haaiiii Ivern, I'm a quirky lazy boi! My MC is just like you! He doesn't want to work, he doesn't want to bow his head to his family's expectations, and he just wants to live his best sloth life and maybe have money like lots which he steals!"
I was very much ready for that, except BAM! MC is now generic murim guy with massive-gorilla-bàlls body constitution or 'sum shieeet. Well then: not what you promised me, but I would eat that anyway. Is it any good?
Sigh. Listen, I get that things in ALL SHONENS happen because "the author said so". BUT you need to trick me with enough suspension of disbelief so I don't feel that, gôddamn it. MC, notorious failson, is a genius now. He is philosophical as all àss. Also learns everything by watching it once. But still weak. But not! But yes. But fùck you, honestly. It's standard mediocre murim powerleveling and it's okay at best.
Third betrayal, courtesy of Mangabuddy: at a certain point, the manga switches to medieval Europe regression. Because why not?
It had great potential for a lupin-like rogue murim heir wrecking havoc by playing on his own rules, like the cover implies. It degrades in the most average asian shonen. A 6½ on the Ivern Scale™️, but it is kinda a travesty.
