Ugh, what did I just read...
Ok, let's ACTUALLY try to dissect this. Basically, it's a longtime rivalry of ideologies. The top shows the world is full of villains at the top while the bottom while believes in justice. But for justice to prevail, he needs to overtake the top, so he stays with the top to overtake his position, hence why he told his chief he'll pay for his sins as he intends on controlling the group for that and showing cracks of humanity like after stabbing chief...
I... I don't know at this point. At least the victim the bottom tried saving his fine? The author shouldn't delve into topics of humanity, I think.

I don't see why people complain about the art. The proportions are fine, the shading look good, and there're plenty of details; it's beautiful. I don't understand why people see this as weird; not every drawing style should look like anime-esque, and I also like the rougher looking men, and I think other should too if they love someone like "Ajussy" from Dangerous Convenience Store.

I can see that point. I don't know if I'm not noticing it as much because I have to focus to see and understand the critique. This might be a matter of not-as-experienced illustrator; looking at mangaupdate, it seems to be their only work, so I think that's at least somewhat excusable.
And like the person above me, I think everything else is fine; it's definitely not the worse case of facial flatness because we have the first season of "The Abyss" with literal paper white faces.

I don't know if I'm getting the correct info, and while I don't know about the novel, I think the manhwa, emphasis on the manhwa, got dropped, or is at least on hiatus, because the artist departed from the series.
And reddit says this is the author's other serialized manhwa; there's another one called 일단 결혼부터 (Once Married/Let's Get Married First) with a different artist, but that artist also departed. So, I feel like maybe it's for the better because either the author is really hot and cold to work with, or contracts artists in a really shady way.
I found out this work was inspired by the author and his husband's journey, but I check their twitter, and it's Sanseito...
