First, stick to the official translation. I switched over to fan translation around ch100 and it's mostly a huge step down. At time unintelligible sentences.

This series has a strong start. The in-story book's main character isn't very interesting but our main character is fun enough. The kids are absolutely adorable. The other supporting cast are solid enough.
Plot points themselves were carried out well until around ch80-ish, at which point it's losing steam.

Pacing was pretty fast, which I took to mean they were cutting extraneous stuff from the novels. Unfortunately it looks like a bunch of world-building and magical theory was also cut, as at times the main character says things as if they're assumed knowledge for the reader (I know he has peggy sue knowledge). Also magic feels so ill-defined I'm pretty much just thinking 'yeah, strong mages can do whatever the plot needs'.
But later, around idk 70? chapters in I felt there was a pretty huge cut. People in comments were saying that actually a LOT of stuff was cut from novels. So I'm guessing the worldbuilding and magic stuff was cut out, hence my confusion.

100 chapters in, I'm losing interest, but this might be due ti poor translation. I'll check back in a year or so.
Or just read the novels, some time.

I like how the animal characters are drawn. The story though is getting repetitive. The all-knowing MC powers up and wins over an ally and powers up and wins over an ally and powers up… It’s like watching someone else play a video game on story mode. I hear good things about the novel. Maybe it’s better.

Based on other reviews I would read only the novel if I were to start over with this series. The pacing of the webcomic is so fast that it only made sense when I found out later that they were trying to condense too much content into comic form. There isn't much time to dwell on scenes or actions because of how quickly the characters move on. The MC isn't memorable because every action is chalked up to an act of self preservation based on his past life. Why did he feed bread to a hole? Because past memory. Why is he befriending this person and that person? Because past memory. None of the side characters serve any purpose beyond their past purpose in his memory that he is now trying to replicate. He constantly repeats how important Choi Han is and leaves the fighting to him, making Choi Han more of a muscle side character than anything. Sure MC's character does not need to be likeable, but his purpose and personality does not feel meaningful to whatever overarching story there is. Art is standard.

I’m not going to say much because other reviews have written so much but the manhwa just does not do the novel justice. I hope the story will get better at stroytelling and showing characters thoughts and behaviors because almost everything, and I mean almost everything will eventually connect to each other in the story. The novel is over 800+ chapters right now and it’s genuinely such an amazing story filled with character individuality, emotion, and my favorite trope “found family.” The manhwa is barely introducing characters and doesn’t show Cale’s through process well, it was just lacking so much because it’s sort of rushed and compressed, I don’t really like the art as much either. The future arcs are very intense and information filled, hopefully they do better at the storytelling. And the story is not typical in the sense the plot is very much intricate in the novel, hence I’m unsatisfied with the manhwa. It’s not a ground breaking novel but it’s still an amazing story with great action.

No romance at all, how refreshing, world and character building to the max, liked it so much, I read all the novel volumes so far, if you liked omniscient reader’s view point, this one is definitely for you! 11/10

But in all seriousness. The most interesting part of the story for me, was uncovering who on earth the MC was on his previous life, some of the flashbacks made no sense without context, and no, it’s not a translation error, it’s just that we don’t have all the facts. The novel is way better than the manwha, simply because the dragon’s design isn’t akward and it’s just non existent.

The manhwa/webtoon seems to have all the right pieces—likeable characters, pretty artwork, interesting storyline—but the storytelling of it is terrible. It's hard to follow the dialogues and I don't think it's a matter of translation. I've tried reading the official and unofficial translated versions and I still can't focus on what's being said. The conversations and thought processes are jumbled. The scenes feel disconnected. They do, for the most part, appear in chronological order but it's like we get glimpses of the main events without any additional info to make it make sense. Haven't read the webnovel so I can't really compare the two. Unfortunate, but most likely will be dropping it at ch 60.

While the artist delivered most of key points of the story, it was rushed. Probably bacause one chapter in this manhwa is too short to explain anything, and it feels kinda disconnected. Also the art looks hollow, cheap, and childish.

The horses look like Legos, like really stiff polygons. Happily the plot relevant stuff (dragon, cats, the people etc) look alright. Some translations are a bit awkward at times too, they overuse the word trash and there's distracting typos (laptop instead of lapdog) so mind which version you read

Overall a fun Isekai thing

fav novel & manhwa ever. pretty sure not a single novel/manhwa could replace this one for me. I swear by the god of death.

i like that the main character is a guy, since it feels uncommon in these isekai type stories. and he has animal companions!! and hes hot!! good story. beautiful art.
theres a scene where tiny spoiler: mc picks a leaf off of the dragons head. it is So Cute, and reminds me of a scene from a romance novel which i think is really funny. the animal companions are adorable.
i remember in one scene ,, and this is like a tiny thing but i really appreciated it,, the framing for a panel is sort of tilted, but everything is drawn perfectly so that gravity goes the right way?? theres wine in a glass and a common mistake is to make it flow down in regards to the panel but they made it flow with the tilt?? i dont know how to word this but i just thought it was so lovely.
cale has great outfits, hes not self-righteous in any ways. people praise him for things and he brushes it off in a way that doesnt feel rude or arrogant or stupid or any number of things. he feels like a very intelligent character too which is so hard to get right. also i love that hes a quiet main character? like that feels so Rare and it makes it easier for me to relate to him, as a quieter person.
