CAUTION: REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. Holy crap this webtoon is one of the worst ones Ive read so far in terms of nonsmut based webtoons of which there are a lot out there and they deserve their own category. Not only is the art super bad so is everything else about it. The hero of the story comes across an old book in a bookstore and this book subsequently gives him super powers. I dont really understand how his power works but the gist of it seems to be that he gets some arbitrary points for recording his experiences and he can use them to exchange for various types of knowledge or skills? At first I think he got experience points from reading but the author realized that its not possible for him to read so many books so they changed his power to come from writing it down instead. Either way its a pretty bizarre power that is not properly explained and the protagonist is too lazy to investigate the origins of the book or question his newfound powers. The male lead has no personality and hes a perfect character who can literally do everything perfectly since he got all his skills from the book exchange. Basically he is great at anything he comes across and theres no one who is even close to his talents not that there are any that really try to challenge him. There is no conflict and each chapter is dedicated to showing off how supposedly good he is at everything. But my main problem here is how the artist is terribly bad at their job in trying to depict the brilliance of his performances. Like for example hes supposed to be a master calligrapher but the socalled masterpiece calligraphy he produces are laughably bad. I was almost mentally crying with frustration from looking at the chicken scratch calligraphy that rich grown men were clamoring over and saying it will cost millions of Korean won. Like seriously? Even I can write better calligraphy than that and no one is paying for me to write such basic standard calligraphy let alone millions of Korean won for it. And then he got the experience of cooking and oh lord the webtoon went even more downhill from there. Its like the author wanted to do a Shokugeki no Souma type plot line but failed amazingly at it then continued to roll with it like they knew what they were doing. Theres lots of drawings of panels where theyre eating to show his food expertise and the artist of this webtoon cannot draw appealing food worth a shit since all the food looks like blobs of different colors and then you have the characters gushing over how delicious and appetizing the food is. I think I lost some brain cells from reading that...Not to mention despite the socalled expertise of the main character the author clearly did no research and just randomly spouts ridiculous stuff using their characters which make absolutely no sense like how pork is easier to eat than beef and how sweet potatoes work with tteokbokki. I cant even...They also dont have a clue on how to describe food like a food critic and so all the male lead who is supposed to be an expert taste tester can say is wow the seasoning is so good Followed by a bunch of weird nonsense. He carries some small bag of ??? to fix his food so it tastes good but there is no seasoning in the world that can fix every single dish. Its not a onesizefitsall type of thing seasoning needs to be done precisely and adjusted accordingly to what type of dish is being cooked. Gosh Im not even a professional chef and that is common sense when you cook at all. And did I mention that the male lead is also a Michaelangelo so hes a master painter too and he paints awful drawings that once again everyone praises him to death over. Honestly the art style is so different from the whole style of the webtoon Im pretty sure that it was copied and pasted from somewhere else and its not even that good. Sighhhhhh. Oh Also theres a small harem of females thats building itself around him that I forgot about since it was boring and I dont care for what is happening anyway because theres no plot. Short update of recent chapters... Guess what the male lead has a superstar actress girlfriend who he saved from some thugs on a beach. Oh and he decided to major in Oriental Medicine because he CAN. Pshhhh. The webtoon seriously goes down the drain into the sewers and mixes with all the foul shit in the existence of webtoon history. It loses all sense of realism. I have some background in Oriental Medicine and what hes doing is not it at all. Its some stupid hocus pocus pseudomedicine. You cannot detect a brain tumor by feeling someones pulse and you cannot use a microneedle to drain it out. Ridiculous and utter nonsense. It wouldnt even pierce the skull due to how thin and fragile it is. Also thats Western medicine right there and not Oriental medicine. And now he can also telekinetically lift cars with his hand movements and turn hair into acupuncture needles. Im not making this up. Im just reading to see how much more stupid it can possibly stupid but I would advise others to not do the same. Please pass this webtoon it is a travesty.
