    Definitely a disaster

    Horrible animations, stolen incipit (not all reincarnation stories copy each other, but here there are literally the exact same scenes from another series), absolutely uninteresting protagonist (usual manhwa character, very powerful for no reason, at the center of the universe, who relies more on this horrible "aura farming" stuff than on writing an interesting character), generic battle shonen narrative, in short at this point just watch leveling, which has the exact same problems but at least it is extremely well animated (personally I don't find it a great added value, but between a banal badly animated thing and a banal well animated thing I would choose the lesser worse).

    my message for the author

    Sorry to say but after reading the manhua 3 months ago the anime was really bad below my expectation,it was a very good manhua but bad in the anime series. I think the author made a mistake in choosing the studio that released the anime itself and am still prefer reading the manhua than watching the anime series, your story such a great and have really high potential if the adaptation from studio can deliver to us great animation like Solo Leveling did it ... i know animation is not everything but i'm talking animation series thats the point right why we watch the anime series to get better views.

    At this point, just add the panels from the manhwa and call it animation

    Never seen a decent story like this, get done so dirty. The animation is more like putting a power point with one or two animated frames here and there, while leaving the rest with just images. At this point, just read the manhwa who is far better in quality compared to this. Overall the story is okay considering the hype it got before it's release. So if you are here for the story and not it's animation, feel free to give it the try and it won't disappoint. Still, I would highly recommend to just read the manwha instead. It's far better quality than this animation we got for such a good isekai.

    We demand that the episodes be stopped and that production be resumed.

    We request that anime production episodes be highlighted at 1-A Pictures or Toei Animation. The graphics and animation are unacceptable. I read the manga and I think that the cost of producing and broadcasting the anime is a loss that has no meaning. I was so excited for the excitement I was going to see in the anime as well as in the manga, but what I saw really shocked me. We really want to stop the weekly broadcast and give the novel to a better studio that does a good job on the anime, or end the current season and remake the episodes with better quality and animation than before.😟😟😟😟😟😟😟😟😟

    Quite Possibly the Worst Animation I've Ever Seen

    I've never seen animation this bad - if you can even call it animation. This anime is basically just a collection of slides. And on the rare occasion something is animated, it's worse than any fan animation I've ever come across. Is this supposed to be an anime or a PowerPoint presentation? I genuinely can't understand what the studio was thinking with this. It's a complete disservice to the source material and to the viewers.

    What makes it even worse is that the story actually had potential. Fans were excited for this adaptation, but what we got is an insult to everyone who supported the series. The lack of effort is painful to watch, and the end result feels lazy, rushed, and soulless. Honestly, this should be used as a case study for how not to adapt a beloved web novel.
