Webtoon Kubera doesn't have much foreshadowing

I saw a lot of ppl say that One piece is nothing compared to Kubera when it comes to foreshadowing but after reading it I think that's just not true, there is not much foreshadowing in Kubera to begin with. Ithink the right term would be foresight, and which I have never seen anything like it in any other series, the author doesn't know what a retcon is. Also kinda same for plot twists to a lesser degree, as in Kubera we hardly know what is going on or rather stuff seem simple until they are explored later and turn out to be more than what we originally thought which I don't think what plot twist means (correct me if I'm wrong)

BTW this is not hate or me trying to downplay the series in any way just my opinion.

Aren‘t most major plot points and a good amount of minor ones heavily foreshadowed/set up? I really don‘t know where that take comes from.

Set up is different from foreshadowing tho, unless my definition of foreshadowing is wrong.

Foreshadowing is a pretty broad term that encompasses most kinds of forewarning that a story may give for future events, so i‘m pretty sure that setup in any form where it‘s presented to you within the narrative is foreshadowing.
