I feel that it is unique in the sense that instead of our mc being perfect and completely top idol material, he has quite a glaring flaw that needs to be improved on. The "system" is also unique as it doesn't give mc otherworldly abilities, but instead focuses on making our mc learn and improve himself, which combined with changing the past and new opportunities, naturally leads to a better future.

The start of the story is definitely a bit rough, and the system is quite forceful at first, which has lead to many negative reviews. However I feel that if time didn't turn back, even if mc succeeded as a solo producer, he would not have been happy. He had lost many close friends (hajun, rapper friends) and will probably harbor regrets, continuing to be pessimistic his entire life as he had been before. Some might say that "he didn't need to change, it's his life his choice", but it is undeniable that those relationships he had were precious to him, and our mc would only be happier to understand those people and maintain those relationships.

In a way, I'm glad that he has regained an opportunity to both learn to communicate and be compassionate, as well as learning to believe in his fans and the people around him. I'm also glad that he didn't "mellow out" and have an entire personality change either, coz I really like his badass personality.

Overall, a gem hidden behind low ratings. Good art, interesting plot, great character growth. It's a good casual read, but also shows the intricacies of good communication. Also read the officials, first 14 unofficial chpts gave me a headache reading them.

I finished reading until the latest chpt, but tbh, only thing interesting about this story is the mc and his subordinates. I'm impressed by how the author utilizes mc's abilities in creative ways, and I'm invested in how f-ranks can level up. Mc also utilizes other's abilities well, like the warp gate guy.

The rest of the story however is mid at best. Other heros have really straight forward abilities like holy sword, holy barrier, transforming big and strong, have big OP tiger. Villains too, like most of the time they just summon monsters/let monsters fight for them, and their personal abilities aren't interesting either. Because of this, fight scenes can get quite boring.

The plot is also quite surface level. Good vs bad, villains vs mc. There is some plot twists here and there like a guardian becoming a villain but it's still very black and white. The villains are either fanatics or crave destruction, there's no deeper meaning behind their actions and no grey area. So far there also isn't a case where a villain becomes a good guy, seems like once a villain, forever a villain. And plot regarding the existence of the system is basically non-existent.

People might disagree with me on this, but the personalities of the characters in the story are frankly put, bland. Most of them just have one personality trait going for them, and it's very 2d. It's the definition of "making xxx their whole personality". With some exceptions, I'm not interested in any of the other characters.

And as mentioned by other commenters, wow the females in the story are both poorly drawn and written. Same face same body, 1d personality (except holy sword girl).

Finally, idk why but I don't really like the art. Objectively the proportions are generally good and the art is decent, but for me it feels really messy at times and it's very blurry to read. I think it's something to do with the colors but I'm not an artist so take my word with a grain of salt.
