After reading the first few chapters, I was so intrigued by the story that I went ahead and read the original version in Chinese. Before I continue, you should understand that even though I can read and understand Chinese, I rarely read manhwa in Chinese. I always prefer reading English materials, even if the translation isn't that good. The fact that I would even do so should indicate how good the story is. Now, you might start to wonder why I only gave 7 points for the story even though I am praising it. You'll understand why once you read further.

So, I went ahead and read the Chinese version all the way to the latest chapter, which was chapter 140. At that point, Tang San had already reached 20 years old... Without including his previous life, it means that the manhwa has already covered 14 years of his life. When I first reached the latest chapter of the manhwa, I gave it an incredible score of 9. I would have given it a 10 but there were some flaws within the story. There were numerous points in the manhwa that simply glossed over what happened and left me confused, but even with these flaws, it was still incredible. So, why did I change my score?

I changed it because I went and read the novel.

I couldn't wait for the latest chapter to arrive, so I went ahead and read the novel. I needed to know what happened next and I was rewarded for it. The novel went through every single detail that the manhwa failed to deliver. It revealed many more details that didn't appear in the manhwa and explained the actions of the characters. The many plot holes that were in the manhwa were not in the novel. The manhwa tried to change the storyline in some parts and resulted in disastrous plot holes that appeared in future chapters. There were also quite a divergence in the mentality of the characters, especially the main character.

In the end, it was an interesting experience but failed to deliver in some parts. However, I would definitely recommended reading the novel.
