Editor's Note

💡 If you find standard "heroic" protagonists boring, Seo Ju-Heon is your antidote. He is a "Bastard MC" in the truest sense—shameless, manipulative, and incredibly petty toward his enemies. The novel is a global scavenger hunt where mythological items (like King Midas’ Hand or the Crow) are sentient, often arrogant beings that the MC has to "discipline." Be aware: the story contains significant nationalistic undertones and "gross-out" humor involving the MC's physical reactions to stress in the early chapters. It's a power fantasy where the hero's greatest weapon isn't strength, but the audacity to scam gods and corporations alike, all while complaining about the migraines they give him.

Experience Curve

Ch. 1–50 (The Regression): ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The Setup. The "revenge" hook is strong. Ju-Heon returning to the past to screw over the corporate moguls who exploited him provides immediate catharsis.

Ch. 51–250 (The Scavenger Hunt): ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The Peak. The variety of artifacts based on world mythology (Greek, Egyptian, Norse) is creative. The "Gotta Catch 'Em All" vibe combined with Ju-Heon’s "Scammer" tactics keeps the momentum high.

Ch. 251–416 (The Godhood Slog): ⭐⭐ – The Decline. The power scaling becomes absurd. Enemies that should be world-ending threats are defeated via "ass-pull" artifacts or social media framing. The ending is notoriously abrupt, feeling more like a prologue to a sequel than a definitive conclusion.

WebNovelDB Review

7 /10

A high-octane, often hilarious "junk food" read that excels in concept but falters in character depth and narrative consistency. The Good: Relic Personalities. Unlike other novels where items are just stat-boosters, the relics here have distinct, often hilarious personalities (the Rope is a fan favorite). The historical and mythological trivia woven into the "Tomb Clearing" is genuinely interesting. The Bad: Repetitive Bastardry. The MC's "jerk" persona never evolves. After 300 chapters, his constant insults and "dominance" over everyone—including his allies—can become grating. Additionally, the villains are often two-dimensional caricatures of Americans or Japanese, leading to a "Nationalism vs. The World" vibe that may alienate some readers. For Fans Of: Solo Leveling (but with a more talkative/rude MC), Second Life Ranker, Mythology-based powers, and "Scammer" protagonists. Not For You If: You want a likeable/kind hero, you are sensitive to nationalist tropes, or you dislike "Deus Ex Machina" resolutions where a new item solves every impossible problem.
