Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant (Light Novel)

✒ Synopsys

Sword God, Ahn Suho.
The greatest swordsman player in humanity was, surprisingly enough, a civil servant hunter belonging to the Korean Hunter Association.
Suho chose the path of a public servant purely to end the gates.

Perhaps that’s why?
When one of the disaster-level gates, called the final gate, was attacked,
In an ironic turn of events, he was betrayed by his comrades.

“You should have joined us from the beginning. Now I know why people say that civil servants are so inflexible.”

The reason his comrades betrayed him?
Because if the gates were closed, their power would disappear.

Is this the end?

Just as Suho’s consciousness was fading away,

[Rebooting Player Ahn Suho’s system.]
The system gave Suho one more chance.
A chance to go back to the past and set everything right.

◄╝ Review

"Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant" is a Korean web novel that intertwines elements of action, fantasy, and adventure. The narrative centers on Ahn Suho, a formidable swordsman known as the "Sword God," who serves as a civil servant hunter within the Korean Hunter Association. Driven by a desire to eradicate the gates—portals unleashing monsters into the world—Suho's mission takes a dire turn when he is betrayed by his comrades during an assault on a catastrophic gate. Left for dead, he is granted a second chance as his system reboots, allowing him to return to the past with the opportunity to alter his fate and rectify past wrongs.

The novel delves into themes of betrayal, redemption, and the complexities of power dynamics. Suho's journey is marked by his cunning and strategic prowess as he navigates a world filled with dungeons, magic, and political intrigue. The incorporation of a game-like ranking system and the protagonist's dual role as a swordsman and healer add depth to the storyline.

Readers have praised the novel for its engaging plot and character development. One reviewer noted that while the story shows promise with interesting ideas, it occasionally becomes dominated by narratives about office politics, which may detract from the action-oriented aspects. Another reader described the novel as "the definition of mid, or average," citing the protagonist's rapid power progression and the plot's reliance on common tropes. However, the unique aspect of the protagonist becoming a healer in addition to his swordsman role has been highlighted as a refreshing twist.

Overall, "Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant" offers a blend of action and fantasy with a protagonist seeking redemption and justice. While it incorporates familiar elements from the genre, its unique twists and character dynamics provide an engaging experience for readers interested in tales of second chances and strategic battles.
