I don't want to compare this story to ORV, but I kind of have to. Almost immediately, you see the similarities between this story and the world it operates under. The pop-up screens, the fact that the mc is part of a more powerful being's plans for entertainment, and the mc who manages to get stronger by doing his own thing.
The main problem is that the world building is not done well. The basic fundamentals that the world(s) operate under is not explained to the reader in any capacity. We see the main character just show up and do his own thing to achieve his goal, which results in side/supporting characters later on explaining to the viewer by proxy through thinking to themselves as we read their thoughts. This often leads the readers in this confusing purgatory of trying to understand the context of the terms and phrases and hierarchal structure of the world as events fold out while we read.
Not to mention, all the hierarchal layers of the opposing characters is like trying to peel an onion, but it's as if each time you peel back a layer of the onion, inside that layer there's like four sub-layers.
Mc is in the tower of nightmares, defeats the mare, goes to , and in you have the ten-sect clan leaders, but in those clans you have vice-leaders and blahblah, but also if you leave then you run into the Monarchs or the twelve lords, but wait, there are also the Five Great Families. But they both also have Generals, but not just any Generals. They have Lesser Generals, Generals, Greater Generals, and Commanders. But when you go to the , then you're met with Gods, which include lesser Gods and high-ranking Gods, and then you have proxies for those Gods called Avatars, and then--
It just doesn't stop and it would be fine if the integration of this system was actually done well into the story instead of just blasting the reader in the face with tons of information at once. I suppose the author is trying to scale up the difficulty of the story, but I don't know if it's for the reader trying to understand or the mc trying to get to the end.
However, there are some funny moments and some moments that make you go "awww, that's nice." But then you kind of go back to the incomprehensible mess that is the power structure and then you're just like ah, this again. In conjunction with this, the mc pulling up and just trying to brute force his way through everything kind of gets in the way of the world building that's necessary for this story to be told in a cohesive manner. Since there isn't a character like Kim Dokja who can give insight on the mechanics of what's going on, you'd expect the mc to ask questions or make some astute observations in this case, but he doesn't really have any interest and just bullheadedly tries to go up against the strongest opponents in the story, which really cheats you out of learning more about the new areas he's in.
Overall, it's not a good story, but it's not the worst story. It could 100% be better with some adjustments to a lot of things, but the art is entertaining enough to keep me hanging on for a little while longer.
