Synopsis

No one knows his true name or face, but he has gained global notoriety under many aliases—from Gerrard to Machiavelli. His newest identity is that of Ludger Cherish, a young and talented professor at the prestigious Ceoren Academy. However, what seems like an easy teaching job turns out to be anything but.

The original Ludger Cherish was far more than he appeared, entangled in a secret society with unclear motives. Doing whatever it takes to protect his identity, the man of many faces must walk a tightrope between two opposing groups that would kill him at the slightest slip-up.

Preliminary (102/? eps)

The art is 10/10 (anyone who complains about it hasn't ever tried drawing in life ) the lines are so well drawn the colours and everything so detailed people forget the comics / manhwas has multiple panels and all of it being drawn and coloured so detailed is amazing.

Though in s2 or 3 the art changed very slightly it's not noticeable.

The art is what got me into the story but even the story is amazing (slight spoilers )

The story has Your 2 charachters on a train the MC is pretending to be someone else and ends up taking ludger cherish identity. He has ... throughout the story multiple identities .And all identities have a back story they don't go in to detail in all identities but definitely in others .

World building - 10/10 each character has depth reasons behind their actions you .

Logic and reasoning - ever read a story where they explained the magical concepts this does it and in the start that's honestly very intriguing because it's not just like the , mc is smart so he does it it's more like the mc uses his previous world knowledge of science and maths and combines them with existing magic usage .

Honestly this story is not the kind where you just read 20 eps and everything be revealed asap they introduce tell a little give interest and then you have amazing revealing later .

Fight scenes - 9/10 only because we know the mc will win and also the fight scenes are very great .

Every aspect of the story is very well written you do get reasons and revelations later the story is unexpected in a fantasy world where everything reveals slowly everything makes sense it's predictable but also not at the same time .

Mc - Personally what I really like about him is that unlike other Isekai the mc is not overpowered because of him being just Isekai they have a reason he is born with those powers the because the backstory makes me appreciate the mc having so many powers and why he has it . Or how he has so much extensive knowledge or power or abilities.

You'll also later in the story get his real name and why he keeps low profile and changes identity so often .

The only thing one may not like the
Translation - the translations has minor errors here and there but it makes sense most times though the webtoon comment section has people fixing the typo .

Novel ending or spoilers - the comments have novel spoilers and I hope they change it because the novel ending through spoilers does not sound nice .

Another detail from the comments which would make sense is : the literary refrences all his alias has some meanings or are references of great written stories .

Over-all the story is very good sure it's not the fastest read you know you have to read atleast 50-60 eps for things to make sense . However if you'd like after reading novel spoilers don't want to read it it would make sense otherwise so far the story has no points which make it bad .

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (168/? eps)

Yah after chapter 168 the series got axed and with it my enjoyment of the series as a whole. For being mainly about the mystery and past of all the characters it leaves us on such a large cliffhanger that next to nothing is resolved. Leaving the feeling of what the hell was the point of reading all those chapters if everything is still unknown.

Beyond that the series definitely had it strength with the main cast being solid and very intresting in there contrast with each other. Alongside good worldbuilding and writing leading to a very intresting mystery being developed. But sometimes the author just ...

Preliminary (168/? eps)

Yeah it got axed at chapter 168 so I'm just gonna mark it as complete

I attempted to read this series a while ago for several dozen chapters.
Plot wise it's not bad, the problem is the story kept dividing itself into random side quests and events which make things confusing. There is too much bank and forth along with bouncing between different perspectives or views which prevented any long term attachment.

Even as a seasoned Manhwa reader, I can't even recall what is the purpose of all these random "events' occuring. Plus the pacing isn't just slow, it's.....winded beyond belief.

Not peak, it's only slightly above average
