The Novel's Extra

Don't recommend wasting time with this. Read about 200 chapters and can't force myself forward. The amount of melodramatic bullshit in this novel is insane. I understand only now why author's pov is so highly rated compared to this dogshit. It actually has a story with plot twists and a nice wholesome romance subplot. This novel has insane amounts of love triangles, misunderstandings, and cringe relationships with the actual story taking a backseat. 

To top it all off it's so obsessed with looks and heights it genuinely makes me crazy. In one chapter there's a whole story about how a female character didn't wear heels because she didn't want to show herself as superior to another short heighted fc because she wanted a favor from her. I know worshipping capitalism has rotted south koreans' brains but this novel takes it to a whole other level.

overall the story was pretty good but i think the author could have cooked more with the ending but I think it is a good read if you have time

Story: very enjoyable to follow along. Author went ballistic and didn't care about what pre conceived idea of the world's setting you might have after reading the novel's title lol. A LOT of different fantasy elements in this.

Characters: somehow not cringe most of the time which is completely unexpected when looking at the novel title. The characters feel like if this world really existed this is how the characters would actually interact with the world.

Action: the novels weakest point but it looks like the author did this on purpose to focus more on the character interactions and story.

"Psychological": be ready to have thr author fck up your heart with heartbreaking moments in this series. A lot of traumatized characters in this story that made me very skeptical of whether or not I would re read this in the future.

Summary: A fun story to follow but will have you shook a lot throughout. If you are someone that cries when watching anime or reading novels then this will get you very emotional. It also have very wholesome moments. And both those types of atmospheres are very well crafted because of how natural the characters feel. Romance is much more heavily focused on in the extra stories after the main story concludes. The few things I wish they changed was slow down the pacing and just cut on some unnecessary stuff around the 2nd to last arc iirc and also I wish they had a certain bonus relationship as the main one . Other than that I love this series. If you read all this you're insane lmao

This novel came almost 5 years back. It was one of the first extra novel and till date any new extra novel uses some sort of plot from this. It delivered exactly what it promised. Many don't like the ending but it is exactly what the novel is about and i actually love it, and I always think about it even after 3 years of reading this.

The other important part is the romance. I love the romance in this. Very simple, no noice and no cliches, just natural.

I read this novel every year and it always is the top novel for me.

Review after reading the main story:  The novel is decent but the ending totally ruined it for me. If after reading 350 chapters it makes you think "Wish I didn't read it in the first place" then the author have done something really bad . To be fair the novel is very well written but filled with many problems which I'll be listing below -

=> Lack of good antagonists : It's more like a slice of life where no clear antagonist is present. Most of them are junt anti hero characters who are justified from their own pov. I liked the Orden character though . He wasn't a one dimensional character but he was wasted as a minor villain. The last boss was just some cliche demon .

=> Mc having heaven defying luck 9.3/10 or something and saving his a*s everytime with it makes the story too boring . Dude literally has extra life , going back in time (3 min), can tweak any and everything with sp . He was never in mortal danger and never has to work for his power ups .

MAJOR SPOILER ⚠️ Don't read if you mimd spoiler.

=> His relationship in the end is absolutely s*it . If you're going to dangle multiple heroines for YEARS  either make it a harem or end it in a good way. But the author proceeds to make the girls his wife in alternate timelines, what if scenerios etc . This takes away everything from the main story . I didn't even read side stories . Saw in the wiki . Nothing matters anymore if you introduce alternate timelines . Cha Nayun arc should have been concluded in the cube and Yeonha shoukd have been kept as casual friends instead of making her a love interest . Very very stupid romace . 

Unbelievably good novel. Very fun concept and great excecution. Good characters and phenomenal storytelling. The author generally has lackluster endings and it was the case for this one as well, however, looking past that it is still a very good novel and I would 100% reccomend.

Rank 465 is kinda crazy, the ending is not the greatest but I think people overhate on it. Very very good first 300 chapters and peak second side story

Started off really good. My dissatisfaction stems from the ending, so this is a highly subjective review, I hated the ending and how it was all handled. It might have been enjoyable, but that's as far as it goes. 

First finished web novel. And I gotta say this is not the best and probably won't be near the best as I continue my journey into more web novels, but it will forever change me and my perception of other web novels. It does this because (purely my opinion) the start of the novel was slightly painful to read(chapters 1~10ish) only because it seemed to have a lack of description for characters and surroundings but as the story progresses the descriptions seem to get way better. So don't give up until you atleast get to around chapter 100~. Also if I had to recommend any web novel this is probably one of my go 2's since it's a great balance between a good and peak web novel imo. (Also starting with peak web novels ruins the other great novels that can't compare) Side note: The misunderstandings and some comments I've seen are possibly the funniest things I've seen.

Finished date: 03/25/2025

(Just changed from 4 to 3.5 because I feel it's more accurate)
