Somewhat decent

The start is terrible, but fortunately after 4-5 chapters the story starts going uphill, it's still not an amazing story, it's just an unlucky guy who after misfortune manages to take revenge and goes to prison for it, after that he's recruited and starts his training to become an assassin, the only cheat is a pill he gets (along with 100 others) which allows him to do... something, it's not clear on what it does, give him 6 years to train? reincarnate? it's awfully explained. Either way, he ends getting involved in the Jianghu (or whatever it's called, the murim in other series) and there are some twists and turns.
My main problem with this one is there is a lack of logic in some parts or rather, a lack of explanation, as if the details were discarded by the artist, many things are presented as if they had already been explained and never addressed again. There is also a lack of cohesion from action to action and place to place too, usually when someone travels or time passes in a manga, there is some indication, like a fade out, or a bar and an note, something. In this one, in one frame he's a kid hunting and in the next he's a grown up in prison, or one character is talking and the next panel it jumps to another character in another place at another time, etc.

Regarding the characters, there is only focus on the MC, his teacher and a friend at some point are there for a while and there are a few that give him missions but they have very little "screentime". As for the MC... he's a decent enough fellow but he's rather bland, there lots of him ranting on his skills or him having some knowledge that's not clear where he got from and fortunately some action.
Art is good, thou it's a rough in the action, it's very funny thou than in a story about assassins and murder they censor the blood. Pace is a bit slow for the type of story.
Overall, an interesting manhwa but it could have been better if the start wasn't as rushed and it took more time to explain the important things and less time to explain meaningless inner-workings of fictional martial arts. It's actually funny since he goes to great length at some point to explain his abilities but then he just ignores the other ones he gets and doesn't explain what the "reincarnation" does, which is way more important.
