Reviewers here also claim that the story became dull later, and I can do nothing but disagree. Obviously stories do not have to be entirely logical and autistically detailed in their technical analysis to be interesting. Yes, I could harp on about the protagonist's ability to effectively deux-ex machina any problem with knowledge from his previous life (like other reviewers), but to not recognise that this is an issue endemic to most stories of this type is silly. Obviously, some amount of suspension of disbelief is required for almost any fantasy/sci-fi story, and this one is no different. But I can't really say it takes me out of the experience because I find the maximalism very entertaining, and it's pulled off well enough to not feel too "ass-pully". “I am the Sorcerer King” tries to jungle so many balls and moves at such a pace that I suppose it is inevitable that some will be dropped by the wayside (the ability to close dungeons. If you aren't into slow paced plots, mark this as a casual read. If you like this type of stuff, this is another series to throw into your read list to try out, especially if you're a sucker for SL/TG type stories (but with less heavy plot). On a more positive note, it can be entertaining if you don't think too much about things, and just want to see a person be OP and inspire others/making them worship him (it's a feels good manhwa if you see it this way). Despite this, I wouldn't say the plot isn't there, since the MC does have an end motive, but it's just a bit unclear how he will get there. Although we know why he's able to use such OP magic, it does a whole "1,2, skip a few" type of thing, where the MC mentions he wants to try re-creating xxxx power, and then suddenly he's already using it in the next battle without explaining how in the world it even works. So far, the manhwa seems to be 80% exploring the MC's past knowledge and bringing it (with innovation) into his new life, and 20% showing the world the power he's re-created from his past life to obtain independency/possible domination. We know the MC is reincarnated, and seems to be able to use magic beyond what the world's god is willing to provide, since he's pulling knowledge from his past life. For the novel, I'm not sure if it's written better, but I've heard it's decently a nice read, so it might go into more detail about the setting - assuming you can read Korean. I also wouldn't say it does a great job of world building either the setting is planet earth, but the logic of how powers work, what limitations there are to a hunter's ability, the structure of dungeons, etc. This was better as a casual read for me, since the plot can be a bit slow imo. However, I welcome plots like this since I like this genre. Blue, Comico Korea, Tapas Media, Tappytoon, Tencent Animation & Comics, Bilibili Comics, Kuaikan Manhua, Delitoon, etc.As other commenters have mentioned, it does have a similar feel to Solo Leveling, and imo, this reminds me of both Solo Leveling and The Gamer.
