Pacing is horrible, no hype

Art is good ~ There is mystery but nothing moves forward !! The story focuses on sub plots that no one care so it's boring real quick... What do you mean 4 seasons ?? Drop 62.

Definitely could be good but for now the pacing is unbelievably slow. Nearly 70 chapters in and the MC honestly hasnt developed much which I have never seen before in other stories.

Good read for now(Chapter 20)

Initial chapters is great in telling how the MC feels. And somehow, I could relate to the main character.

Pros:

Good pacing
Good Art(Obviously)
Characters that make sense( as in their action make sense given their circumtances)

Cons:
The story is still in the beginning phase and story like this can easily be ruined by going to obscurity. But for now, It is something that i can enjoy.

The MC hasn't do anything but sleep for 15 years. But after dreaming about a swordmaster, he suddenly able to swing a big wooden sword for a week straight. Yet later he can't even lift an iron bar. Don't waste your time on this one.

i can really relate to the main character. they do a good job with him. you almost never see stories about people who are considered lazy, and laziness is also something that is criticized a lot in popular media. this gives some humanity to "lazy" people. as a lazy person i can definitely say its much more than just a lack of caring.
its a very wholesome story, i dont think theres romance (at least not yet) which i like. its honestly pretty slow moving and there were some points where i just felt bored with things, but i also feel like the slow pacing helps you understand the perspectives of the characters better.

I love this webtoon, it is really good! Irene is a very likable protagonist, and his journey to grow stronger is really cool! The supporting cast is funny as well. The sword arts are really well done.

Unremarkable but still a pleasant read

This is one of the series you will read, enjoy and forget immediately after.

Pros:
-decent art
-decent pacing
-characters don’t feel overly 2D

Cons:
-the story is shallow

This is written as of chapter 12 so the story could easily improve or worsen… but as of now, at the very least I don’t regret reading it.

Initial 5 chapters seems to be good

since rather than memories being transferred, it's experience and emotion that was transferred,

seems good to me too bad it's only in the beginning
