Second Coming of Gluttony #5

by Yujin Ro, Minjae Kwon (Translator), Wuxiaworld (Translator)

Carpe Diem moves its base to Eva after completing the preparations to found a new organization. Eva, aptly named as the city of anarchy, is plagued with a multitude of problems, including poverty, lack of leadership, and even trafficking. Witnessing these unpleasant and inhumane ongoings, Seol Jihu recklessly sets out on a war path to eliminate all of Eva’s problems, plunging the city in turmoil. Drawing the ire of the rival organizations, Seol Jihu’s organization finds itself a target of sinister, political schemes. Meanwhile, the Neutral Zone’s next opening date is soon approaching, and Seol Jihu is determined to win the bid for its custody.

Will Seol Jihu be able to firmly establish his organization in Eva? What special plans does he have for the Neutral Zone? Follow Seol Jihu as he makes waves across Paradise while riding the political storm in the City of Anarchy…

The four previous books combined have a word count greater than the entire lord of the rings trilogy. It's no small wonder then, that the author might be running out of steam. You can see the review count drop off a cliff for the books after this and I think for good reason.

It feels like the author was forced to write this one. He's trying to wear shoes that just don't fit him. Maybe he was concerned that Paradise would feel too small if he didn't make the main character play politics for 200k words. This might have been a good idea if he didn't suck at it. Every attempt at establishing a conflict is halfhearted. Every challenge is too quickly resolved.

Please skip this one and message me for the cliffnotes
