tbh I don’t really know why I read this novel, I sometimes like it but most of the time I also don’t like it. The author very much obviously didn’t plan the future plot ahead of chapter 1 and you can tell.
All characters aside from the MC are unironically idiots and ignore the truth even when it blatantly slaps them in the face, there are so many times the MC should have been exposed yet simply because “he’s so smart” and everyone else is “stupid” that he gets away with everything, (in this novel only two brain cells exist in the noveluniverse, one is owned by the MC and the other is 99% owned by the MC, the remaining 1% is shared amongst all the characters that exist) constantly making self-aware 4th wall breaking remarks while everyone else are predictable emotional novel characters, the author is very blatantly aware of this yet thinks they can have an “emotionally deep” character who at the same time constantly makes fun of emotional moments & cringe remarks while fourth wall breaking at the same time?
10000 years my foot, it legitimately feels like he’s a regular old Korean guy who was superficially plastered with the “deep backstory of being trapped in hell for 10 millennia” and behaves like a malicious person while weirdly behaving like a regular korean guy.
Also his “666 authorities” just make no sense. The author very clearly didn’t think this properly when he told us the MC had 666 different powers, realises it, says f it and just makes him use his random usual strength. 666 authorities meaning 666 completely different types of abilities and powers which includes but is not limited to flying, strength, fire, darkness, sight, colour, fog, light, electricity, blades, regeneration, fear etc. this meant the mc could have just pulled out whatever power he needed to BS his way out of a problem, yet amongst all these 666 authorities he doesn’t have a SINGLE one related to the soul/mind, time or space, not even the most basic combat sense / foresight ability that many MCs have that let them predict/see at least 1 second in the future in combat.
He has the authority of language. Yes language. which makes zero sense. He got every single one of those 665 authorities by eating demons who had them with his predation authority, meaning 665 demons had special innate abilities / authority powers that the MC stole and for whatever nonsensical reason there was a weak demon born in the blood soaked constant fighting laden hells that was born with the authority of speaking and understanding different languages??? Even though every demon in the nine hells before the MC arrived only ever spoke one language? Why is there a demon with such a weird power yet not one had a simple foresight ability… what makes this even worse is that there is a character later who actually has this simple ability of basic 1-5 second battle foresight.
Maybe it’s better to think of the MC not as a person but as a walking puppet or robot that has the words “self-aware parody trope breaking character” hardcoded into it. The in-novel world quite literally revolves around him and bends to his words. This story is essentially how everyone except the MC is stupid and only he can be amazing.
