About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark fantasy action series with relentless fights, a cynical “hero as punishment” hook, and big hype energy, similar to Solo Leveling or Tower of God; Not for you if you dislike edgy leads, heavy gloom, or tropey writing.
Pros: striking visuals; dark, gripping premise; nonstop action | Cons: generic tropes; uneven writing; annoying side characters
