This review may discuss plot details.
First of all I think the biggest weakness of this manhwa is its INCREDIBLY slow burn, as in 50 chapters for the ML to show himself and another 100ish chapters for a hug. So if you are purely in it for the romance (like I was) you will be in for the long haul. The good thing is , is that currently the manhwa is past the exposition so reading as the chapters as they come out is nowhere near as a pain as I would imagine reading them in the first 200 chapters. So to summarize, I think the main (and only?) weakness ofthe manhwa has sorta been solved and I would expect that the ratings should go up as time goes on, because I genuinely don't understand why they are as low as they are.
Positives:
Characters - Really fun, iconic and there's a very nice dynamic between them. The FL is really well written and portrayed imo, she is very cute and badass in the same time, but also very stubborn to an almost saddening degree. ML's behaviour also sorta keeps you on your toes as you don't really know when he'll go full psychopath or progressive girlboss.
World/lore - I think the world is very cool and intriguing as well as it's history. It has a lot of depth and mystery to it as well. I really like how there's the 5/6 peaks of the world and everything is separated into elements.
Art: The art style changes drastically like three times I'd say, where the first and third art styles are very good and the second is good enough.
TLDR: I don't think the ratings are inaccurate to the manhwa as a whole but rather more representative of the reader experience of not being able to binge the first 80% of it at the time.
