Returned by the King

Description

In a world where one's worth is determined by how powerful their skill is, Taehyeon is 35, unawakened, and barely able to scrape by as a pack bearer for monster hunters. But when a mysterious being calling itself “the King” gives him a skill of his own, Taehyeon gets a second chance at life. Now he’s back in high school and armed with Gluttony, a skill that allows him to block and absorb the skills of others! (From LINE Webtoon)

It's so bad now (100 chs in), I can't be sure it was ever good

I think I enjoyed this in the beginning, but it's reached the point where the MC is just ... so stupid. So so dumb.

Like, beating bad guys but letting them go, dumb. Why would you do that? They are killing people. You can stop them permanently right now. No, you're having them take back a message? You know what also sends a message? Killing them. They are terrorists. You're letting them go. They will kill again in the future.

I give up on this.

Sick and tired of this fkn trope lol.. why every fkn regressor thinks its ONLY therye job to save he world lol.. why not help other people to with ur future knowledge to get stronger.... but nop. instead a guy who was a depshet for 35 years now has power is arrogant asshole. instead of learning some humility. Would have thouht that all these years of having nothing would have thought him something. i fkn hate these kinds of mcs . Reminds me the manhwa " over geared " mc when before he realized what a huge douchbag he is.

The art is beautiful, as expected of reduce studio. Plot is interesting enough. I'd rather read an action manhwa with great art compared to subpar art, so I will continue reading this! U guys are being wayy yo harsh on this manhwa imo.

Read chapter 37 and tell me again that the art is “generic” and subpar 💀💀 bffr if this art isnt enough to satisfy u idk how you're gonna enjoy reading anything else.

Usually when I see reviewers on other sites whining about Korean webtoons being racist I personally don't see it? Like, I'm a grown ass, brown skinned, queer Southeast Asian woman and I feel like I should be able to spot bigotry in any form.

But this? 38 chapters in and we've already got Indian, Japanese and Chinese antagonists. Not a single bad guy is South OR North Korean so far. My eyebrows about hiked into my hairline.

I feel like the next bad guy is going to be an offensive stereotype of a gay American man. I also don't feel like reading any further to find out.

MC with desire for power and no clear goal, "the future is changing, is it because of me?" idk did you go back in time and use your knowledge of the future to change outcomes? you did? then YES! dont pmo

update: returned after 4 months to read up to ch 51 and I've forgotten the entire premise. the art being generic doesn't help either. if the MC doesn't have strong goals or the story isn't unique enough for me to remember 4 months later, I'll drop it.
