only one chapter so far, but i like the depth of the concept. MC is inherently a typical noble, greedy, selfish, power hungry. And its enhanced and amplified by the demons corruption, showing how without awareness and insight on ones emotions, its easy for common thoughts to become wildly harmful.
And then there's this system that enforces righteousness, but seems to go based on unclear standards, kinda reflecting how societal standards and morality often have grey and blurred lines, and are twisted by perception and perspective. I also love how its essentially rewiring the mind of the MC, reflecting how often times, healing and growing requires a lot of mental work and cognitive restructuring.
True evolution comes from deep reflection, awareness of oneself, and commitment to one beliefs and morals. And I find it interesting how this system is essentially forcing the MC to grow and develop as a person. Normally in these stories, the system just exists to make the MC overpowered. But this take on the system, twisting it into a mental development rather than development of power or strength, is so cool to me.
I think that its an interesting concept which looks deeper into morality, emotional health and intelligence, the essence of corruption and desire, and the complexity of the human mind. It has the POTENTIAL to to compose a narrative on what "Good" truly even means, and the dichotomy of morality.

I could be over analyzing and inserting depth where it doesn't exist, but I like it so far and am HOPING that it blooms into its potential.
From what I have read so far, its a typical dungeon hunter trope, with the main character having "necromancer" like powers. The story is common, weak MC awaken and get OP. I like the MC, he's not annoying, perverted, or dumb. A bit boring for now, but 'm hoping we get some more substance from him.
The story is common, but good in my opinion. Pacing is actually good so far. The characters can be stereotypical, but its not the worst I've seen. They have some kind of substance. The fem characters seem good, not fan-servicy or overly-sexualized from what I've seen. ( which for a "mass-produced" Manhua is GREAT. )
Overall, I'll say it has potential as a good casual read. Battles scenes are cool, art is good, story is okay, characters have potential, its not bad. Hopefully it develops more and become more unique. Its better than some of these others I've seen so far, hence me saying it has potential.
( From what I've observed, the art style is not a carbon copy of solo leveling, but the main characters design is almost identical to Jinwoo. Too similar to be inspired by, I thought it was Jinwoo at first lol. I think its a marketing tactic to draw attention lol. But overall, the story isn't a copy, I'd say its not much different from any other dungeon hunter fantasy comic.)
Love a good Mary Sue lol ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Eh i mean shes not annoying or like overly mary Sue so its fine
Agreed~ hence me saying a "Good" Mary Sue, as opposed to a bad one lol
