I haven't personally read the novel but you can really tell the original author and the artist (and whoever is involved in the adaptation production) have REALLY done their work to not only do deep research on the (mental) conditions they present but also to always highlight both the good and bad of the conditions. No character is inherently good or bad, they're (fictional) human beings with conditions that require treatment and perhaps they've chosen to portray some of the more extreme conditions to further the storyline. Still, I personally find that an even greater addition to the plot.
I APPLAUD the decision to have a ML that has a DIAGNOSED condition and has undergone treatment for most of his life and STICK with that. His character is consistent, in both the good and the bad, and being able to understand more of his thought process (even though the manhwa can't really include much since it isn't a novel) also helps the readers to understand his personality better. And before anyone says anything, no. I do not condone the violence he perpetuates or how he treats the Inseob, but I DO appreciate the fact that the author is trying to portray a character with a condition and explore that. I like the very slow development and how they portray the tension because it gives both characters credibility for their actions and thoughts...
I know it will only get more violent as it goes but I'm intrigued into how that will somehow develop the relationship between the two. THIS is how you write a story dark in nature and make it credible enough for people to want to read it. I hope it doesn't disappoint later on ( ̄∇ ̄")
I don't go in-depth with Inseob because he isn't diagnosed (though we can infer a couple of things based on his traits...) but I was very surprised when he himself admitted it's not Stockholm syndrome on his side since what he's done so far goes beyond the definition of the concept... that was shocking. Can't say if I believe him or not but we'll see? ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Isekai with male MC AND male companions or at least not females please. I can't stand weak females, clingy females, harems, etc. This is nothing against females themselves, I'm a woman, but I HATE the way they are portrayed in most stories. Also, there's a big lack of male and good companions.
I'm reading Saihate no Paladin so I'd like similar ones or at least isekai ones, please (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

You should definitivly check out Omniscient reader (preferably on webtoon not here) cause that webtoon is best i ever read!
I, like many of my peers, dislike harems. I don't mind them as much if they aren't over the top or hinder the plotline in any way, but after going through some I started to wonder...
Are there any action manga/webtoon/manhwa etc out there where the MC is male and has a guy being part of his harem? And I don't mean in BL because it's obvious, I mean in a regular shounen-action based one ( ̄へ ̄)
It's all curiousness really.
Although we knew he'd reach rank 1... I wish they had taken the time to develop the rankers a bit more. At least, rankers 10 to 1 should have been stronger or have more memorable personalities/skills. His fight with Count Nicholas did not feel special or different from other fights at all so it was rather underwhelming ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
This being said, I can't wait for him to reorganize the country. All of these factions are really annoying (⌒▽⌒)
Well the ranking battles is only the top 100 in Cairo, not the continent. There's probably a huge disparity in strength between rank 1 and 2, seeing how it was mentioned that rank 1 is ranked 80 in the continent, while rank 2 wasn't mentioned at all.
I think it would be a diff story if it was continental rankers but it was just in cairo.. did you not read that one of the rankers was literally a GATEKEEPER??? If he struggled within cairo's rankings it would kinda be a disappointment cus he defeated Butler and this was a YEAR later
Still, considering they're the top 10 I hoped they'd be at least slightly stronger than the previous 90... which they weren't. It felt like the ranks didn't hold any weight to them at all.
I didn't want him to struggle, you're twisting my words. I said I expected the side characters to at least have more personality or weight to them, not to be mere expendables considering they're supposed to be the strongest out of an entire NATION ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ if these were the supposed "strongest", Cairo should have fallen LONG ago to other nations, honestly...
