I was expecting the story to be about an MC being a crouching tiger hidden dragon, an overkill monster in retirement, something different from all the stuff we see nowadays but after a few arcs, it fell victim to the usual shounen cliche tropes.

A few arcs down the line we start to see MC winning battles only by a hair's breathe, the common power leveling progression seen in shounen. Author also pulled the usual, with great power comes great responsibility, the good guy and justice shenanigans, refusing to kill despite being in a Murim world where its a dog eats dog world. Up to the latest chapter, MC is still struggling with going all out, fighting and killing, law of the jungle style but instead chose restraining and being the good guy batman. Frankly it gets annoying and stale.

If theres any budding authors out there reading this, i would like to remind you that creating such a character will make him a unique figure in your story setting. Your character will stand out in the world and even might seem cool but that also means you're making your main character the same as 90% of the other MCs out there. To readers, your MC is the same shit but just a different read, they are NOT unique or interesting!!!

After finishing the 1st season, I found it to be quite good. It starts of heavy on the comedy side and I actually found it funny for a change, also, the timing for the comedy is well chosen, the author knows when to crack a joke and when to be completely serious.
Later on it looses on the comedy side and centers more in the story, which is a bit lackluster, a youth that was risen up by the previous evil overlord to take vengence for him but he's sworn not to kill, a weird combo. It also gets heavy on the action and fights, and while the art is excellent, the fights are mostly things exploding, save for some parts. And some fights, one in particular goes beyond the fantasy realm into the ridiculous one.
Last, the chars are quite interesting and there are some cameos from Yong Bi and some connections here and there. MC is kind of a stoic good guy that doesn't say much, and many enemies have rich backgrounds. At the same time, some are quite annoying, like the FL.
All in all it's an entertaining mix of martial arts action and comedy.

the whole premise of the MC not killing anyone is kind of annoying because most of them end up getting killed off by the author either way. Shounen tag needs to be removed or changed to seinen. This manhwa has no issue killing off innocent people, even a village gets massacred. Definitely not material for kids.

The fights are not good. Uses too many explosions, and most of the panels are just landscape getting torn up. There isn't much actual fighting going on, just things like whirwinds, or stuff like that. It doesn't deserve to be classified as a martial arts manhwa.

I read it just because the MC personality and the most important " THE DUMPLING QUEEN ". If not because that I will never bother with martial genres, and this one totally bullshit.

unfortune they usually have some great female side character with strong personality which hard to find at another genres, damn it @@.
