While this type of premise is becoming overused it doesn't mean its bad, i don't think there's bad ideas just bad execution, and this a bit sloppy in my opinion, it concentrated for the first 20 chapters on trying make the MC look like a scheming type that really knows what he's doing, building up a strong fundation to overcome his challenges and look cool while doing it, but that's also all it did in those 20 chapters, and i get the impression that's all he's ever going to do from now on.
This isn't a baseless accusation, i have seen other Korean novels get lost in it's own premise becouse they want the MC to be the coolest, richest, strongest and most handsome man, it seems a lot more interested in showing social battles (also known as face slapping) than regular action, or anything else really, for example characters so far only are shown to only matter in relation to the MC, his two servants seem to adore him to death even through he was almost a complete asshole and a manchild to them until that point.
It also suffers from a lot of "Don't tell, don't show", some information is either skipped or ignored until it's relevant in the moment, and the reason it's that way is to make more space for "Social Battles", for example his training was skipped and only lasted a month or so, even through it should be a really important part to show MC's resolve or talent, we don't see any of that, we skip to the end where we are just told he was really good at fighting, that's not fun at all. We also don't get a measure how strong people are in relation to others, being "S class" or "F class" doesn't really mean anything without any feats to understand what they can do, being able to punch with "One point of strenght measure" also doesn't mean anything, we can only know what is that with some kind of context, but the novel doesn't give any.
There's more problems with it but that would be getting into spoiler territory, so might as well end the review here, i don't recomend it, it might get better, but i doubt it.
