I agree with you, the beginning was a hassle, but it does change quite a bit after he decides to take on the losers challenge
(It’s still very stupid, but not half assed, instead it’s quasi hysterical ?)
There are times when the jokes and expressions are not funny, like they feel out of place and don't match the atmosphere. I don't know how to feel about this story. The MC is not that smart, but sometimes he does incredible things. I also don't understand his standpoint and beliefs as they are contradictory. He is living in the Murim world, where strength is valued above all else. I would have felt sympathetic if the story emphasized that power is being used to bully the weak instead of protecting them, or if there was corruption, but there isn't. It's like the MC is half-assing things, and then when he's about to die, he suddenly becomes overpowered. It feels like I'm reading a reversed isekai/reincarnated/rebirth story, but with a male protagonist instead of a female. The MC doesn't have any support, with a deceased mother, a cold yet supportive father, tsundere brothers, and the MC wanting to run away from home while also acting cute and docile. In short, it's not very original and way too predictable, but for now, I'll give it 3 stars. I'll update it once I see any progress (current ch 35)
