Teenage mercenary is a webtoon which is a great read just to have fun. It doesn't try to reinvent anything. But it's perfectly fine with the way it is. It introduces a bunch of characters quickly and it keeps you hooked with the cutthroat pacing. It doesn't give the audience a chance to be bored for a sec.
It finds excuses to have a fight scene which is the best part of this webtoon and the art is gorgeous
I generally hate cliche, predictable shows/manga but this has been really enjoyable so far and I'm really invested in his backstory too..
If you like a story where MC ... beats up bunch of bullies in a badass way possible then this is for you

It started out quite well and the characters are quite fun to follow but the overall snails pace the story and character development goes at and the repetitive fights get more and more boring as it goes on. Had plenty of potential but it just seems the writers can't think of a story to follow so they just pump out fights against the same characters wearing a different face and clothes.

There is also some romance for the main character but even that seems to enjoy just keeping the status quo, there are a few moments where it seems it's going to advance and in ... the next moment everything that happened is never brought up again and they go back to the same state as before, it gets quite infuriating to be honest.

The best part about this "story" is the relationship between the numbers and the mc, and the few flashbacks we get into his life before returning to Korea, but even these moments start to get repetitive after about the 120 chapter mark.

If you enjoy meaningless fights that are well drawn and being drip fed a story on lifesupport this is the manwha for you.

No Antagonist Giving Character Tension. MC became intellgent through wars as a child Not regression, which is why I stuck with this unique character due unique backstory. After long, the conflicts were onesided and predictably the MC would win. Presumably, handicaps on genius MC's will happen, but it didn't - and later on I bet it will be. Either the men are all jealous of his skills or how he recieves women attention. The women either are obsessed with him(eq.approach for phone number) or a strong likeness toward him. All antagonistic women stopped after he heroically saves someone. The last thing this story needs is ... more allies. The art style improved without me knowing as the plot kept my attention. The characters all develop, for example many side characters admit their likeness and drop their untold investagations on him after he did something they like - and may admit they admire him. The feMC gives up fighting a political marriage but gains courage after seeing MC will guard her life. This is all well. The most improtant thing that can't be understated, is the lack of MC for the goal. I stuck with it, because the short term goal of bodyguarding to afford his sister a gift. This went nowhere, and I'm done not having a reason to root for him. I'm sure the antagonist that disappeared early in the story will emerge but he's not having current affects on the story. It's a fine story, just unfocused.
