I am the C.E.O: Conjured Eternal Overlord

I’ll start off with the pros of this series.

The art is really good when it needs to be, the character designs are REALLY good (Image two is the villain). The cast of characters by chapter 7 is already quite large but you know who’s who by their looks. Every character stands out, the author doesn’t limit characters to being human but animals as well. The setting of the world actually seems really nice, although the world building isn’t nearly up to par. (The lead artist actually worked on God’s Game which is a good manhwa :D)

Now the cons…

The art is very inconsistent, I said the same for God’s Game when I wrote my review for it, it’s just even more obvious here. The “hype” scenes obviously have better art but it’s not just by a bit, it seems like they hand it over to a way better studio during those panels, that’s how inconsistent the art is. It’s very fast & a bit too confusing for me, they start off by isekai’ing the MC with a bit of knowledge of his upbringing but don’t really explain the power system in depth at all. When they do explain the power system, they kind of just dump the info randomly through a flash-back. They also do something similar to the one piece anime, in where they recap the ending of the previous chapter, which is pretty annoying. (Not really a complaint but the series feels very bleach-esque, if the team wasn’t inspired by Bleach/Kubo to make this, I would be VERY surprised.)

Finally… my main gripe with this series and the reason I dropped it at chapter eight… IT’S DAMN BORING! I don’t mean to be rude… but… they made the entire power system based off of money/stocks, which I feel could be interesting as a single character’s power but it’s the base of everybody’s power. It also isn’t the type of series like “Past Life Returner” where the business aspect of the series is really in depth, as far as I’ve seen up until chapter eight, there’s nothing explained in depth. The power names are also stupidly funny… (Third Image)

I honestly feel like the story could’ve been amazing had they executed the beginning better & explained the entire power system more in depth.

It’s definitely not 2.8 star worthy, well, at least not by Mangaread standards. At the very least, it’s at least a 3.0 by Mangaread standards.

TLDR: Inconsistent art, interesting premise, execution fell flat.
