   The synopsis is really interesting, but the free chapters are written rather flatly. Once you stop reading about the civil service exam, it becomes just a monotonous narrative. One particular description made me abandon the story: to portray the protagonist as a powerful figure in a high position, the author gives an example of him performing surgery on an evolved human he disliked at a research institute as a form of personal revenge. This contradicts the earlier description of how strictly the country manages evolved humans. Although the author explained that he could have a reasonable explanation, this behavior screams privileged class. Did the author's brain get muddled from studying for the civil service exam?

    I found this novel on the online forum, and the first chapter, which revealed that the male lead's father had been keeping the female lead's mother as a mistress, shocked me. Later, given this past, the male lead even developed lust for her. I quickly searched for spoilers, and there's even seduction involved! The female lead and her mother are incredibly unlucky to have met these two men. Furthermore, the female lead's character completely falls apart after meeting the male lead. She's nothing like the optimistic and strong girl she initially portrayed as—a girl who loves horseback riding and works tirelessly to save her mother. At least in the free chapters, I didn't see that she was the same person before and after entering the mansion. I'm not unfamiliar with pseudo-heroic, melodramatic, and clichéd novels, and I don't dislike them; there have been genuine heroic works before. But this one is truly disgusting. It's purely a novel piled high with melodramatic elements to grab attention, and it's extremely difficult to read.

    The harem setup at the beginning is too cliché; it could easily be replaced with a different heroine for a heterosexual romance, but even within a heroine-centric story, it's unremarkable. The synopsis is indeed very appealing. The author's other work, "Holy Son x God," is exceptionally well-written. This one, however, has a mediocre plot and boring characters, making it difficult to read.
