The protagonist is the star of the show here, and he pretty much carries the entire plot on his back, his motives are very solid, and his main goal is in the title already, everything else is secondary, and that's also the main flaw of it.

Being an adaptation of a novel, every little thing not directly involved to the main motives of action of the MC was consciously gutted and left to the side, this, in turn, makes the personality or the motives associated with its side characters very shallow or one-note, otherwise, it's a decent read if you're in the mood of an MC who's basically playing 5D chess against unaware opponents.

I didn't read the novel, but I already understand that they skipped lots of explanations to go directly into the action, and it's a bit too fast here.

Really enjoyable read from start to end, only main problem I have with it is some fights are terribly off-screened and everything the mc needs he conveniently will have an arc about that thing he wanted coming straight at him through his assassins, I wouldn't complain but it happens right after he needs it and it has happened like 5 times like he needs an something and 10 lines later an enemy is discussing about that same very item and is about to attack the mc with it. MC's sidekick is fun and MC's schemes are the definition of 5-d chess which puts kim-dokja to shame. Made a comment here instead of the novel because I can't find where the webnovel is in this site.

The start is great we are introduced to an regressed MC looking revenge with the more or less straightforward goals become strongest in order to free the world from the game-like structure.

His trusty aide and dungeon-broker are introduced relatively early and are quite likeable characters that the author uses as stress-relief after the dungeon .But the way the dungeon broker can resolve almost anything is a bit unnatural ,I mean given his connections it's more or less credible for him to acquire stuff ,but it has no sense that he's without information leaks with so many helpers and how he makes the MC goes unnoticed .

The story centers more in the action than the novel and is entertaining enough on that aspect.BUT ,after it advances a bit ,some flaws become more and more apparent :

The author uses that the MC won't get attacked outside as the biggest plot armour ever ,he conveniently states it whenever the MC has a death flag and conveniently combining it with the oposite plot device of once closed people outside cannot target you inside a dungeon .(in the novel it's even messier since the author doesn't get his mind weather they can or can't communicate from the dungeon )

I mean aren't there tracking abilities ? When outside the dungeon he's always out of the public's eye (which is a very bad option since he is constantly pestering the "big players"😉

And lastly the antagonists and side-characters . If a non recurring character or an item are mentioned it's 90% certain the character will be ignored/killed after those events and the item will end up in the MC's hands.

the manga skips all the fluff about the world and focuses more on action and strategic events, unllike the novel.
but as of chapter 11 it works
