This is low-key too underrated, the twists and not knowing who to trust was so interesting and the suspense was good. I think the plot is too complicated for most so they likely dropped it, I had fun reading it tho.
MC is truly well written schemer. He uses everyone he could to keep his end of the bargain so he could get a better life for his sister and he’s OP but not too unbelievably OP, he had help and I like that female characters each had their own albeit short moment to shine. Cast needed a bit more development imo, we don’t get to see them outside of action so it was a bit harder to connect them and I suppose it might make the plot feel a bit rushed.
(The fact that some villains were women and that they got treated the same way a man would was surprising but I don’t hate it, it’s step forward to having female characters who aren’t love interest so heck yeah)
I would give it 8/10
- Female characters weren’t overly sexualised
- There is no romance for MC or harem
- MC is strong but just as smart and he had his moments of weakness when he needed help, which I’m not against considering he forged those connections on his own too, they are part of his strenght!
Enjoyable read all in all, but I fear that the rushed plot and underused cast will cause me not to reread again cus suspense which kept the boat floating is gone… on the other hand if it got another season I would come back (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
