I love how MC isn't arrogant nor condescending to others. He really is charming in his own way—he is quite an outlier compared to the others in the same genre. Yes he is a genius and he has gotten help, but the narrative of him being a genius isn't pushed every chapter to the point of regurgitating it, but rather, it's given in a way that it's from other characters every now and then. I love that he isn't overly reliant on the system/magical being, he doesn't seek out how to actively raise it—but he tries his best to make do with what he has and his hard work gives him what he needs (vitality). And rather than relying on miho too much, I'm glad he's also quite skeptical of it rather than jumping head first without considering consequences—and I'm glad there are consequences rather than just letting him be OP the way he can be.
I also love how even side characters have their own lives. In Manhwa's like this, it tends to only focus on the MC's growth and development alone. But I adore that no character is getting thrown away the moment they have been used for MC's development, in fact, they still get mentioned every now and then. They all feel like actual characters who /matters/ to the world rather than just to make the MC shine. They all have hopes and dreams they want to achieve and are growing at a different pace than MC.
However, I do like Sooyeon. Regardless of whether or not she becomes the love interest, I think it's interesting to see her growth and development like the other characters. Honestly, I personally think, when it comes to relationships in a non-romance focused story, it would always be better to have the chemistry build up rather than shown asap. I want the characters to grow together. So if she does end up as the romantic interest, then I'm excited to see her growth and the development of her chemistry with the mc.
It's unfortunate but I hope other readers treat Sooyeon as her own character rather than just labelling her as MC's prospective love interest. I love her character and determination so much, I genuinely hope to see more of her
