No important characters.
The author only knows how to write one archetype, “overly confident side character that looks down on MC”
You’re introduced to characters that will come and go without a purpose besides to undermine the MC.

That would be fine since a lot of other webtoons are similar if it wasn’t for the fact that…
No fight will feel satisfying to the point that even the translators are tired of it (chapter 57 note). Most fights end before they start. Someone will always interfere to prevent the MC from fighting.

No plot at all.
The rule for this is that whenever there’s more than 6 characters talking that doesn’t include the MC, you can just skip it. Making up some story in your head should be sufficient since there really isn’t a plot. At the minimum, you can just go with “there’s murim conflict.”
What is the MC doing? Who knows, he doesn’t. He just roams around.

Started off very very promising but it now at a 2/5 for being 58 chapters with nothing to stand on.
