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.

6/10 story
7/10 art
7/10 characters
6/10 overall
