The Eminence in Shadow Manga

Shadowbrokers are those who go unnoticed, posing as unremarkable people, when in truth, they control everything from behind the scenes. Cid wants to be someone just like that more than anything, and something as insignificant as boring reality isn't going to get in his way! He trains in secret every single night, preparing for his eventual rise to power—only to denied his destiny by a run-of-the-mill (yet deadly) traffic accident. But when he wakes up in another world and suddenly finds himself at the head of an actual secret organization doing battle with evil in the shadows, he'll finally get a chance to act out all of his delusional fantasies!

TL;DR - I genuinely don't understand why this is rated so highly. Cringe weeb MC reincarnates into another world as a completely overpowered character, builds a secret organization, and has the maturity of a 10 year old. The entire manga is a cringefest, and the "humor" in it isn't even funny. The "unique" premise is supposed to be that he tries to hide his powers and superior capabilities, except he really doesn't. Because like every other isekai all these random things start happening and again and again he's there with his overpowered self to fix things and make them better. Characters overreact to everything, stuff happens just to happen, everything feels shallow. MC does things that make no sense but the author tries to pass them off as clever strategies, "betrayals". About the only thing I can say is decent is the artwork. Legitimately don't understand why people like this so much.

~Review written after binging to Chapter 25~ I've skipped this Manga 2x times already because the title & synopsis seemed boring. However, do not let that fool you.The manga combines an intriguing story, worked out characters and a very nice base idea into an amazing story. It perfectly balances comedy and action aspects into each other. The typical OP-MC tries to hide its power, is also reworked into something I haven’t seen before. Overall definitely recommended, if you like the comedy of Overlord and very action-rich fights.

The story is intresting. I like this kind of MC its not like the normal MC (kinda in a good way), the story is about a MC that is the next level of weeb (i mean really) because he want to became an a shadow (something like assassin i guess) he train him self from when he is little and when he became a highschooler he is really buffed and then he think how can he destroy a nuke (yea a nuke) and then he find out about magic (i wonder how did he know about magic (this is just a joke of course i know how so dont comment about this)) and he train to search a way to use magic. In the middle of the night the MC is training him self and got isekai by a truck (yea your heard it right its a f*cking TRUCK who would have guess) and he is really strong (well he gets magic now so his training is worth it?? idk). Well overall its a good story.
