- no romance (someone mentioned there's no obvious love interest even until the end of the novel. but if need to assume, the fl is Frost. I'm actually glad its frost,bc the vibe between them has been compatible so far,also non-human fl? hell yes. the secretary [whom most ppl asume to be fl] looks to much like fl in solo leveling. js >.>)
- no harem
- op mc

although the plot is nothing special, i feel this one is pretty good. the pacing are nice, art is good esp the bg art.

- no rom (has dead love interest, but I don't think there's rom).
- no harem
- op mc

mc is a tyrant god (originally a human) who has been punished bc of his deed but after deals made between him and the netherworld, he worked with the king of netherworld to eliminate some specific gods thus he's been revive to a time before he went missing on dungeon break on earth. he's now a human with level 1 skill.

- no rom
- no harem
- op mc

mc regressed/time rewind to the moment before south korea destroyed. his mission is now trying to level up before it happen and save the world.

thought: whats up with novel author SKorea antagonizing Japan in every action manhwa? I get that there's dark history behind it, I really do, and its despicable Jp did that to sk but I've seen it in almost every op action manhwa nowadays. I don't want irl grudge in my action manhwa/novel..

- no romance (62 chapters in, not sure yet. there's a kind girl but there's no hint of romance between them, they're friends though. even if there is, i don't mind. bc mc is misfortune, traumatic, guilt survivor driven that he occasionally have ptsd. he deserved happiness).
- no harem
- op mc

just a warning, you might feel sad/mentally exhausted/frustrated reading this. not bc of the story, but bc of the mc misfortune. Its a miracle he didn't go insane or suicidal.

If you like 'John Wick', then you might like this manhwa.i do like this manhwa,except one thing. the villain backstories. legit i don't give a shit about them,c36 especially hilarious.they be having monologue and dramatic while our mc watching standing there. also with all this hot men characters, c45 sure gives off sus vibe. i think the artist did it on purpose lol

- no romance
- no harem
- op mc
- bromance (more like sworn brother? till death do us part? the type where "if you go to hell i'll follow you along").

This is a full on vengeance story. so if you have a weak heart and easily pity ppl, then this manhwa not for you. i personally like this manhwa, you don't often see smart and strong mc who has strong backing in school. i must say, this remind me so much of 'weak hero' but much more improve and satisfying version.

- no romance
- no harem
- op mc (not really. its training arc for the most part and overcome it each time)

think of the mc just like when you play elden ring/bloodborne/dark souls. died many times, improve slowly that amount of times. mc is a man of few words, hardworking. his squad members is stronger than him (squad leader), and what's surprising to me is that they respect him despite him being weaker than them.

*its better to binge read it once there's alot of chapters release.
