Tomb raider is a good series but i actually found it a little boring and rushed. For one thing there is no emotional connection between the reader and the characters not even with the main character jooheon suh. Jooheon suh is always portrayed as a smart overpowered mc with OP powers and it prioritizes showing his cool and cold side which i think was a total waste considering he had a lot of reason to have trauma from his past life this was even hinted by other characters in the manhwa however it was really never talked about or shown after which in turn i think made Jooheon Suh a very bland and recycled mc. No mention of his trauma or how it effects him cause it apparently doesnt and the random storylines that are thrown throughout the story to make everything easy for Joohen suh. If jooheon suh were to be compared to Sung jin woo from solo levelling then jooheon would lose because unlike him sung jin woo was portrayed beautifully with his traumas his struggles and numerous trials he fought hard to become the strongest and so on. These factors that was portrayed through sung jin woo in less than 200 chapters could not be portrayed even a little bit all throughout all 411 chapters of tomb raider. Next the other characters or Jooheon suhs teammates are also characters with a lot of potential but ultimately numbed down to strong characters that helps our MC. Reading this story i was disappointed with how rushed the characters were considering that they had tragic backstories that was never talked about enough in the story. For example Jaeha Yoo. Jaeha yoo was one of our MCs comrades that helped and committed suicide due to guilt in the 1st life. Seolha lee who was in a relationship with joohen suh in their 1st life but in the 2nd life joohen suh found someone else which was again brushed off fairly quickly as if to make space for the action packed storyline and so on. So overall their is no in depth connection a reader can make with any of the characters which is a bummer really considering this would make no character meaningful nor any character worth any hate it like its just meh throughout. The next issue i had with this manhwa was the lack of plot. What i mean is our MC never really struggles with anything. Never feels despair everything comes easy to him cause he is just soo OP and we never really see him struggle to achieve anything. sure there were hurdles that our MC would deem annoying to deal with but other than that everything is basically served to him on a silver platter. The plot makes it so that the person he needed just happens to be his friend the tool he needed to open the great prison happens to be a relic he got and didnt think much about only one person can figure this ancient relic out and it just so happens to be his long lost twin sister and so on. The complete lack or trial and tribulations makes this so much less appealing to read as the chapters go on. So thats just my opinion of the manhwa
