This chapter all makes sense so far except for why a 5 gold sword is displayed OUTSIDE in the slums.

Not sure why people are complaining about this first chapter being too slow, uneventful, or hard to understand.
It reads just fine. Classic precursor-to-the-storm slow-roll setup. We get a summarized glimpse into who the MC is, his environment, and even a special event that happened to him recently. There’s even a little bit of lead-in and foreshadowing of a great turning point that will serve as impetus for his journey’s exodus.
Not much reading comprehension or attention span is required here. It’s just not flashy or punchy like most webtoons tend to be in their opening chapter to “hook” the audience. That’s all.
Slow-roll starts tend to ramp and sustain rising action tensions better over the longer term, so I don’t see this as a bad thing. It’s actually refreshing and encouraging to see an author have the guts to still do this nowadays.
If anything, it kind of suggests that some proper world-building was done in preparation for things. You can’t form a convincing setting while throwing readers in midway of an intro arc otherwise.
So unless your bar is Shin Angyo Onshi’s opening chapter, I really don’t see the issues people are complaining about here. Maybe people are just too used to modern “OP power fantasy” style webtoons since those like to launch you into either heavy action or the big power-up ASAP from the start?
Turn-1 dopamine hit is actually not a measure of quality, though. It’s just one of many valid ways to start the story.

I forgot to revisit it after reading the rest (18 chapters so far).
It gets better with every passing chapter. I got hooked up in the next few chapters.
I can’t tell how good it will remain in the upcoming chapters, but it’s promising in my opinion.
If u struggled with this opening chapter, don’t worry – you;re not alone. Still, I’d advice you to give it an honest try. I think it’s worth it.
I’d give it a 7,5/10 to 8/10 so far (I consider most of the manhwas with rating 4,5/5 on this site actually being between 6/10 to 8/10, so I’m a little more harsh than most ppl)

NGL, the first chapter is extremely boring.
The MC doesn’t seem likable for now, and even though the chapter was extremely long, I can’t absolutely tell what this manga is supposed to be about.
Apart from pretty good art, it has nothing to offer rn.
Considering it’s high rating, I’ll still give it a try and read at least up to 10th chapter.

OK I’m done. Just stop it with the brothels and the prostitutes. I’m so sick of this trope, at least make it realistic and have those hookers look ugly or desperate.
