5.5/10
I am all for beating the living hell out of people for calling manhwas a solo leveling copy because, in most cases, they are not. Manhwas just share similar premises, and that's how it works. But dear God, there may be an exception with this manhwa.
No, it doesn't have the necromancer premise, but this main character is just... Aura-farming. He's horrible. I mean, he was purposely designed to look "cool," be edgy, and be emotionless/apathetic while fighting with... a dagger. Oh, and his cool black hair, too.
Okay, putting that aside, a story can still be good despite trying to chase after someone else's success,
...
I mean, there have been tons of good isekais too, right? Well, not with this manhwa.
The plot of this manhwa is sort of a mess. The author aimed to craft a classic overpowered protagonist story that returns, but failed to add anything interesting. It's just the main character messing/beating up people despite him being in the wrong and acting like a cool/edgy dick.
But hey! There have been stories like that, too, and they were enjoyable, so why is this not? Well, those stories tend to have some other motive, like side characters to interact/grow with, someone betraying them (revenge), mystery, or a greater looming threat. And you guessed it, this manhwa has nothing of the sort. Perhaps it does later on in chapters, but I can't put in the effort to read another carbon-copy edgelord manhwa to find an underwhelming plot point.
The plot point is also full of those trashy "look at me! I'm evil because I hate you for no reason! Now beat me up to farm aura!"
I could understand the appeal of this story. You're a teenager or someone new to stories, and you like a cool, overpowered protagonist flexing his powers towards "bad guys." But if you have some standards, then waste no time here.
