Born under the fate of the Star of a Thousand Deaths—destined to bring a storm of blood wherever he goes—he refused to draw his sword, choosing instead to spare the mortal world from calamity. He knew everything that was to come, yet turned his eyes away from it all. But the price of his indifference was catastrophic. His clan was annihilated. His family was slaughtered. Only at the very edge of death did he finally understand: heaven does not punish the wicked, cause and effect are nothing but illusion, and judgment is merely a hope invented by the weak to comfort themselves. The moment he realized this truth, a forbidden scripture appeared before his eyes—a heaven‑defying text woven from the resentment of man, sky, and earth: the Jeam Jincheon Scripture*. "If heaven will not pass judgment, then I will become the judge myself!" Swallowing the darkness whole, he returns as a being of shadow, reborn to punish every sin this rotten world has committed. Now, he will bring down the sword of retribution upon a world too corrupt to save itself.

Dark/no shits given/slop/fast story

Ok I'm a sicker for a dark comic like no shits given kill all the bitches type deal and you kinda get that. But when I'm reading I feel like I'm missing chapters or story it feels weird like they want the story to be over within 40 chapters or something the world's shorted (actual) completed comic like the fuck?!? Why is the pacing so fast? These authors made a few other pretty well known comics too so I cont know if this is a common theme in there comics having the comic be incredible fast pasted to the point if f...

AVERAGE PARTIAL-LITTLE SLOP ACTUALLY

This one is average but i think the art quality is good and the story is decent. so, at least it's not that boring, definitely a simple read.

Decent

It's quite interesting is all I can say the plot is decent and the mc is fueled by unbiased judgement it's less on good or bad but karma itself. The translation for some is not as bad as what I'm used to especially things like him when it's a girl but this one really loves the word benevolence which they actually mean the word "in" really fucks me up when reading. Overall decent to pass the time.

Untitled review

First of all, I want to say it is not my type of novel. First of all, MC in his first life is a fucking fool, I can say. He is already born to kill, okay? I don't know what is going on with his mind the moment he's born. He's destined to kill, but he...
