So-so pacing, good entertainment. Good time waster, a bit too fast to OPness, and a small view of how politics work especially in a country of personal interests.
Edit 1: reducing to 4 stars. Novel feels it is going jowhere with the current plot, although the current story seems good and all (secret invasion + thanos team time travel), there is no sense of the story being laid out for what to expect next.
So far, it's a 5 star for me, for now. Like how the heroes are framed as the enemy, since they really do need to get off their high horses.
If there’s a negative, it’s how side characters seemed to be dumbed down for the MC. Similar to face-slapping xianxia novels. Like a world-level debuff lmao
