Okay so i've read a bit of the manhwa so i'm a bit ahead of just the 8 chapters released. This novel could totally be slop, but i will continue reading it and will change my review if it truly becomes bad. But for now i think it's interesting enough, so give it a try if it seems like it might be up your alley
I'm giving it a thumbs up because it's been a while since i read apocalypse/dystopian setting with a system that doesn't involve tower, regression, or reincarnation, and i found the premise new and interesting. The whole apocalypse setting with trials isn't anything new, but i found the concept of it being a company amusing. The author must've previously struggled with the corporate world lol.
The only thing that's kinda weird for now is that the MC comes off almost as a bit unrealistic in that he is too calm and collected and his degree of preparedness, analysis, and attention to detail can come off as too much. It *almost* seems like he just knows what will happen next on the first trials, even if he's backed by logic. He does have a backstory that partially explains it though. I wouldn't say anyone who's been through what he has would be just like him, but it's still somewhat in the realm of possibility. Either way it's not enough for it put me off it.
Edit Chapter 20
First things first, I've moved passed where i stoped the manhwa and I am only going to read the novel moving forward.
This novel use the trope similar to those constellation novels (like ORV), sending their emotions, thoughts, and wants constantly. Subjects can also receive gifts. It's feeling like a dungeon crawl, but instead of dungeons, there are projects and assessments with your superiors watching over your every move lmao.
That said, this doesn't seem to be the kind of novel to read with your brain turned on to the max. I feel like this novel will only work for you if you go into it just for the fun of it and to see what kind of antics the characters go through. Speaking of characters, it seems the author is trying to put some humor in the novel, though i think it's falling a bit flat for now.
I have some other gripes, but most of them relate with inconsistencies that may not actually be inconsistencies. They for sure can be addressed as we understand more of the system and the Company and the supervisors(?) and upper-management relationship.
