This novel is a step above the usual webnovel fare, especially in terms of grammar and writing quality. However, my biggest issue is the protagonist's five-year head start before the main plot even begins. While preparation time can add depth, it feels completely unnecessary here because the MC is already ridiculously overpowered. Just three weeks in, he builds a supercomputer and an AI that scrubs the entire internet for government secrets and hidden organizations, giving him access to everything ever said online. On top of that, he can literally see into the future. At that point, the story is practically over. There’s no challenge, no suspense—just an overpowered protagonist with unlimited time to prepare, making the early chapters feel slow and uneventful. Instead of building tension, it removes any real stakes, making it hard to stay invested.
