I lasted as long as I could following with Galaxy, but with the rough ui and a bunch off wifi issues, I ended up reading the MTL after 384.

I think the story starts out a bit slow, but beyond that, I don"t think the first chapter should have been a flash forward. Reasoning: ... more>>
Spoiler

I think it undermined a lot of the "Will they / Wont they" leading up to when the flash forward reappears.

[collapse]

The heart of the story was fantastic. I loved how each character was written and I would have loved to see more of the characters just using their powers as a playground for how powers would be used in daily life, but ultimately the characters and their personalities are the heart of why this story was so good.

I hate endings in every story. It's always painful leaving behind a world that you've invested hundreds of hours into. I hated this ending for a different reason. Reasoning:
Spoiler

I think a hero's sacrifice was the right way to end the story, maybe including how EgoStream and Everyone handled it as an extra, but I think reviving him undermined that sacrifice on a fundamental level.

[collapse]

In conclusion, this novel has single-handedly solidified into one of my favorite genres... Also

Seo-eun just got snubbed for the ENTIRE story. ;~;

So, my opinion as someone that actually read the whole thing is this:

The plot wasn't something that made me want to binge, but it also wasn't something I didn't want to keep reading.

Why the stars then? Because all in all, the story did its job properly.

... more>> Talking about characters...

My issue here is the MC. Not a fan of love denseness trope nor of manipulative people, regardless of reasons. That diminished my enjoyment.

This brings me to the women. Each has their own personality and a brain so they don't feel flat and that is nice.

There's the dependence factor though. It's interesting that they all realized it's there somewhat at least.

To me what he did is the worst thing one can do to a person, but I know it's my personal issue, that's why I don't count it in the scoring.

That doesn't stop me from ranting though, you can avoid the part between [] if desired.

[The women had the patience of Buddha but it's because of the dependence he created by his choices.

One can't just chalk his attitude and actions to denseness or being a "villain" (let's face it, actions are more like anti-hero than that).

He got told to his face by the Egostream and Stardust about how they felt.

Once this happened there's no excuse to don't talk to them properly unless one is a cesspool.

But, he just let it be until he died and it got revealed.

This really annoyed me. If you're scared it's because you know you're being a little shit.

In this sense, at the very least Seola made her move to force him to take responsability, in that sense, I'm glad the epilogue exists].

TLDR if you didn't read between the []: MC is an s*umbag for me.

Anyway, the epilogue was the real ending. It was open to possibilities but there's no side stories. I can handle open endings when the real questions are answered so that's alright.

Lastly, the translation is ongoing, I MTL'ed the remaning episodes (very readable).

The TL team is doing a good job. The webpage they use works fine and is friendly enough for the user. So the reading is enjoyable in that aspect. <<less

Not bas for a Korean novel with a superhero genre. It's fairly entertaining to read if don't expect too much like expecting some world shattering and mind blowing story. If so, this story is not for you.

The premise is the MC suddenly dropped into the superhero comic World he was reading. And the hero is the he loved dearly in the novel. So he wanted avert the tragic fate of the hero in the original comic.

Thus he started taking out all the misfortune which causes agony to the hero by... more>> himself and giving the only less cruel trial to the hero and grow her powers without agonising her by posing himself as a villain.

It's fairly entertaining with not much plot twists and majority of the events occurring without deviating too much from the original. So, if anyone wanted to read some butterfly effects caused by MCs action will be disappointed. That said, it's not a big problem for the pure entertainment purpose.

It's a Harem at the end so be warned for those who hate the Harem stories. The problem with this story is, there are no major twists with the exception of the final chapters and the authors tendency to repeating MCs achievements with every other chapters are kinda annoying.

And it's getting frustrating between 300 to 350 chapters cuz of some lame writing of the author.

So, all in all it's one the turn of your brain and enjoy type of the story. So read atleast 50 chapters or so to decide you want to read or not. <<less

This is nice. Well written, good character development (mostly), interesting plot, engaging story.

I also liked the pacing, the MC, and pretty much the world in general.

reading 425 chapters was definitely worth it for me

definitely not the most well written story out there, but it's a fun read. One thing I want to make clear before the actual review is that this is the novel that threw me head first down the mtl rabbit hole and led to me finding some of my all-time favorite novels so I'm a slightly biased in its favor. Anyways, like another reviewer said, the story’s a nice “Turn Your Brain Off and Enjoy the Ride” type thing. The author doesn't really try to make the story good, and... more>> because of that, he can get away with a lot of s*upid stuff that other novels wouldn't do. Many parts of the story are very forced, but that's why this novel's fun, because the author can just throw around random scenarios out of nowhere that would never happen if this was written by someone who actually knows what they're doing. Unfortunately because of this, people who are more critical about these sorts of things aren't able to properly enjoy this type of brainrot, but for people who don't care about quality and just want a fun story this novel is incredible. Words cannot describe how much dopamine was flowing through my brain when
Spoiler

MC and FL finally got together after the author edged us for over 350 chapters.

[collapse]

Overall this is a great novel if you're used to stuff like this and are just looking for something fun to read, but if you're normal and have normal sane person standards then this might not be for you. Then again, this is a novelpia novel so if you're coming in expecting any form of quality then that's on you if you end up not enjoying it. <<less

This is actually very interesting since being reincarnated in a superhero comic book is actually a good concept and the way the author depicted the characters are good. I read the MTL and its not that different in the translations so you can give it a try. There are a lot of things that made this novel a little bit cringey but its funny cringey not yuck cringey so it was fine for me and if you like the villain x hero relationship and you must give this a try... more>> since this is a breath of a fresh air to read, might be annoying for someone to read this but this is a good read for me. <<less

I like the novel, it's good. But I'm still gonna complain about the romance. Cuz that's really the only thing I care about.... more>>
Spoiler

I always make sure to get rid of any harem tags when I search but stuff like this always comes up. I'm sorry to say this author but even if the MC has only one interest, surrounding the MC with girls who like him is no different from a harem. If the MC has a love interest why is there a need to keep introducing random girls? Forget this novel I'm genuinely curious in general.

[collapse]
you can ignore this.

Disregarding the romance side the novel is pretty good. I see people saying it's cringe but I'd rather read some wannabee joker guy than see some goody-two-shoes run around with the power of friendship. There's nothing special about it though. It's psychological but psychological on a basic moral level. Apart from the MC every other character is pretty bland. Even the FL is literally just surpergirl going through multiple existensial crisis'. <<less

Its one of those novel who dumb down the MC intelligence and made him as dense as a neutron star just for the sake of le ol' funny misunderstandings between various characters and the MC. You definitely wanna avoid this one if you hate this kind of genre. Author is also one of those hyper-nationalist who hates japan&china and thinks that the usa is their biggest lifelong rival who projects those political views in their own novel and make it weird for non korean readers. Beside those 2 big flaws... more>> then I guess this novel is quite good as a romance novel with the MC being an omega skibidi rizzler aura maxxer. I like the MC not being a beta cuck who refuses to kill villains no matter what (yes I called batman a cuck what about it 🗿). <<less

I looked over all these reviews and thought to myself "damn all these people are review bombing this without actually reading it fully" cause honestly the MC valid for doing the stuff in the novel and his dumping is also valid cause of his backstory.

Also people drop this around 100 chapters in but there are some really good parts later on and yandere tendencies do pop up later for those saying they arnt yandere only reading up to 100 chaps

Da in and stardus romance summed up

... more>>
Spoiler

Stardus is VERY dense about her emotions and is constantly finding excuses to justify her actions of obsessive tendencies and later on when she does realize she deliberately try's to spend more time with da in treating their "terrorist attacks" as times for her to get closer to him. As for da in he is also VERY dense and is constantly making excuses because he is firm on the belief that the original stardus could never fall for a villain so he also try's to justify everything she does. When they do find out about echothers feels though it is satisfying and the jealousy moments are great making you fearful for the poor MC who is the target of every one's attention

Good Harem materials reading

... more>>
Spoiler

Our MC transmigrated to an extra character in his loved novel.

In novel the protagonist is woman with depressed character cause world is destroyed meanwhile she is Hero and MC is her fans.

So with intention to help he kill some villain with big power before they develop. And ITS make butterfly effect.

In this novel misunderstanding is everywhere MC is.

MC get op power but with lot disadvantage like he can faint just little extra used power.

MC dense but really kind, doing everything for heroin to become strong even destroy himself.

Even at final ending he kill himself for heroin to destroy the enemy.

Enemy develop from weak to op so MC have to pay for his life to save earth and make heroin strong.

But don't worry he Will saved by heroin in Nether world.

But cliff hanger romance.

[collapse]

Overall this is good material reading but not everyone like MC like this.

Thats all from me, if there some wrong word or confusing thing. Imm sorry.

Thanks. <<less

Based on the other reviews I have read this is not a story for everyone but I personally found it to be very enjoyable.

I guess my biggest recommendation for enjoying this story is to read it without too much expectations for what the story will be. It is not entirely a romance nor is it entirely an action adventure. It is something of a chameleon where you can't know what the next chapter will bring. This means sometimes the story goes into long stints of romance when you might want... more>> action or vice versa. If you can get over this and just read what is there it is a good story and worth your time.

The ending is good and ties things together well. <<less

This was not what I was expecting going into it. The story is basically a fun, fluffy comedy. I feel like I would like it more if the hero was included more but I'm hopeful that happens soon. I will say that the intro chapter probably shouldn't be read as it's a flash-forward from apparently hundreds of chapters later (still hasn't happened as of chapter 123).

I think the author is a bit overly simplistic in a lot of things that wouldn't fly in a more serious work, but are somewhat... more>> ok for a comedy. E.g., the MC was transported here and presumably doesn't have any legal status but was somehow able to make over a billion dollars (US dollars, not won) based off his knowledge of the world even before joining his hacker sidekick; there's also little to no butterfly effect happenings in the first 122 chapters in spite of the world being drastically different from the story the MC read.

Anyway, it's pretty cute for the most part, just very straightforward and firmly in the comedy genre. <<less

Good work, to be honest initially started reading because of the tag yandere (it turned out there is not enough and it almost does not affect anything), but with time I liked the story and without it. The ending is a bit weak in my opinion, but acceptable. At the very least I recommend trying it, if the first 30 chapters go in, you can read to the end.

A good popcorn novel a bit longer than the usual ones. Lackluster ending that could have been handed differently, but how it ended is to cut off any continuation possibilities that fans could make.

Except the dense part (a lot of it)

The story is pretty good typical harem but the interesting part is the harem knows he likes female lead

Most annoying part of this novel is the female lead pov. Holy sh*t it is repetitive pls stop. How to make it not repetitive? Show progress

Amazing MC, FMC and supportCs. The obsessive love has started to fester, after 200 chapters, but even the read to that point has been amazing.

To the people who says he's a serial killer, he has killed less than 5¿ people and they are all villains and his enemies (he can claim future self defense in court)... To the people who says he's not a villain, that's true, he's sorta anti-villain+anti-hero (even the hero association and the general public sees it this way), he has his own goal, it just so... more>> happens that it's a positive goal but his means to get there is questionable and definitely not peaceful, but so far harmless.

The MCs over-arcing goal is to give his FMC a easier life by giving her hardships she can use as stepping stones and by taking out insurmountable goals before they become a problem (like the villans he killed early).

His second goal seems to be to stop the end of his new world, he does this by using his first goal and third goal.

His third goal seems to be establishing a villain association. Or so he claims, it's more like a anti-hero association, everybody he picks up just has a troubled past or gripes with powerful organisations and corrupt governments, they don't just kill people or want to take over the world for no reason.

[Me don't remember names]

The supporting characters are a joy (and occasionally a pain) too, the [hacker], [shaman], [Healer] girls and the healers brother act like adopted children to the MC, and everyone else are like his siblings/caretakers. But there is enough s*xual strife (¿Ithink?) within the MCs group to call it a harem, but his romance only goes out to FMC.

Overall awesome, seen many other novels like this, but wish to see even more... <<less

The novel is great, the only problem is market fatigue.

I find this to be charming in many ways, but ultimately, I've been done in by the glut of super hero fiction lately popular in the U.S. market.

The concept is refreshingly light and fun, while the stakes are literally world ending. The contrast is a nice tension, and the harem I find annoying, but ultimately the main character's devotion to the hero sort of redeems that as well.

Its annoying still, but its refreshing in that regard that he seems to be... more>> a devoted person swarmed with options and good will... however that's also an annoyance as the protagonist is by design largely ignorant of all of it, which I find unpleasant and something that at odds with just how particular the story is, might be one of its largest contrivances. <<less

It started as a villain's daily rampage. The usual happened, what happens when a boy goes to a isekai with his memories intact, not to mention his favourite comic.

The story gradually heated up. We witnessed what happens when one suddenly stop giving attention to someone whom one has been giving attention for a long time. That person became a yandere. How did that happen?

Well, it kinda happened. Follow the story and you'll find out.
