MC is an amnesiac ex-mercenary and assassin who gets his memories back and is able to make his way home again to his remaining family. He goes to school (high school), and then it's none-stop action, soft moments with his sister and grandfather and people falling for him (in a platonic and not so platonic way) left, right and center. The story isn't some master piece of literature, but it is addicting and binge worthy. As addicting as solo leveling was to be honest. While there's at least one girl who clearly falls for MC it appears to be one sided so far, and I don't think she's annoying. No harem and no annoying love interests, it's great! The characters are interesting and likeable. There's some bullies that become friends, and the fact that they used to be bullies is addressed and talked about. They apologize and seem to sincerely mean it. Personally I don't think that part was handled well, despite me being very happy they addressed the bullying in their past. Still it wasn't completely mishandled either, and I was comfortable reading on. Aspects of this webtoon remind me of early chapters of Nobless (without the supernatural elements) and a little of Solo Leveling (also without the supernatural/game elements). It's fun, the art is great, the english is highly readable and I suspect the translation is on point too. The scanlators seem to know what their doing when it comes to the english language, no word salads being passed off as a translation here! I highly recommend giving this story a go!
