When Nagyunn’s twin brother, Najin, is murdered before his very eyes, he vows to avenge his brother’s death by assuming Najin’s identity.

But although the two may look alike, when it comes to fighting, Nagyunn lacks the talent and skill his brother possessed. In order to successfully execute his plot for revenge, Nagyunn resolves to train himself to become the prodigious knight-in-training his brother once was.

Will Nagyunn be able to keep his identity a secret before others begin to catch on to his act?

Strategist MC with a great power system.

Do you like schemes? Strategy? Can you handle a "weak" MC? Want to read something worth your time? Good, you found it. Twists are interesting, story not as predictable as it seems at first, characters are quite unique. MC has a slow start but ramps up greatly. Indeed a show worthy of your time... if only we had more episodes... alas.

Winning Without Being the Strongest

This story is basically the peak of “fake it till you make it” and proves you can still make a really compelling protagonist without turning them into some generic overpowered monster.

After his death, Nagyunn takes on his brother’s identity to uncover the truth and get revenge.

Don't listen to the downvote dude

It's a nice 8-9/10. The plot get unravel as time goes. Chapter by chapter the stories slowly align so don't read 5% of this then give it a downvote. Be patient and read it all the way. It's pretty good I promise you, I just don't like giving it 10/10...

"smart" MC is a bumbling idiot

I like weak mcs, I like smart mcs, this is not how you make one, the author is clearly incapable of writing a convincing plan for the life of him and ill give 3 examples from the first few chapters that give an idea To give a quick basic rundown, mc...

Untitled review

This takes place in the same world as Epic of Gilgamesh from the same author(not the actual historical epic) and while I saw people saying the fact that mc is weak and stays weak was a bad thing, it's the whole point of the show? Characters are stron...
