Okay I have mixed feelings with this one.

What I like :

The setting is really well done, the world opens itself up slowly. You get to enjoy every step MC takes from a simple dude to a strong martial artist. However shallow MC's goals are, it's still better than having no objective at all. The art is very nice and overall you won't get bored reading this.

Cons :

Frankly, the MC is the weakest link in all of that. He's a goody two shoes who doesn't kill nor harm, doesn't get revenge, doesn't finish what he starts. He could have dies a dozen times if he didn't miraculously become OP. He is indecisive to the point where you wonder what's wrong with him. He only acted normal at one point in the story after a power-up and then it disappeared. I don't even know what's his character's like. He is just a normal dude that comes from a village and that's boring. Another thing very annoying is the fact that throughout the story he will hide his strength even when it's not necessary. And there is absolutely no reason for that other than the author who overuses the "MC is looked down on by other people but turns out he is the strongest". I would understand it in the earlier chapters but the trope continues after so many things happened in the story. It's such a turnoff.

I LOVE IT! NEVER EXPECTED IT TO BE GOOD, THIS IS PRETTY SIMILAR TO LIGHTNING DEGREE BUT THE MC DOESN'T HAVE A MASTER INSTEAD HE HAVE A BODY THAT QUICKLY ADAPTS TO MARTIAL ARTS, AT FIRST HE WAS WEAK AND NEEDS TO RELY ON TACTICS AND SLIGHTLY GETTING STRONGER, AND BAM! QUICK GROWTH

This was so good, I enjoyed reading it but man it's unfortunate that the characters in the latest chapters didn't get more development near the end of the season. I still had a good time nonetheless since I had little to no expectations when reading the manhwa. If you're planning to read it I recommend doing so and don't be discouraged by the other comments that are saying it's bad.

The story is kinda messy and rough.Sometime you will question why the MC act like that.But still fun to read.

the art is under average...and it getting worst in latest chapter (chapter 75)

[Minor spoilers] I'm starting with saying that this is (a simp story) a good story.

The mc get a unknown power, and up to 50 chap the story didn't explained it yet. (The mc seems op, but at the same time it is not. The murim world is big and wide)

Wether you like it or not is up to you, but i can say at least that it is good in the complex.
