I love this series! I don't even know why I like it this much lol. Maybe because I like the premise?
Criticism first:
-The characters are kind of marysues - the male lead especially. It's even more obvious in the novel. Honestly, marysues are kind of my guilty pleasure, but I know a lot of people really dislike them, so this is just heads up.
-The grammar of the translation is not the best. It's definitely understandable and it's mostly pretty good but has it's moments of awkward phrasing, just because some phrases and words don't really translate well. I didn't mind it, but keep in mind that there are a lot of idioms used so there are a good amount of translator's notes needed. I actually read the novel after the manhua, so I only understood some of the idioms used because of the novel, as the manhua's translator did not include some of the meanings of the idioms. Regardless, it's not a huge ding on the story, and all the events are still pretty understandable.
-As a previous reviewer has mentioned, the chapters are pretty short, and it's not completely scanlated. These aren't really criticisms of the story, though! Just kinda cons.
-Some of the bubbles are empty. It doesn't really change the reader's comprehension, but just me nitpicking I guess. When I first read the manhua, I felt like I was missing out on some of the jokes because of it.
-Sometimes I laughed because some scenes were worded/play out as if they were actually in the game, like SAO, but they are only playing on computers, so... yeah.
-some of the antagonists can be pretty one dimensional (or should I say two dimensional??), but honestly I'm just nitpicking at this point.
Praise:
-The female lead, WeiWei, is probably one of my favourite parts of the story. She's capable and doesn't rely on the male lead to save her in every situation. She can give as good as she gets, but also knows when to take the high road. She was honestly so badass in some situations and I was rooting for her almost every time. She was also pretty straightforward, not falling into the trap of many heroines where they don't ever speak their mind. This makes it so that the two avoid miscommunications that can be pretty common.
-The relationship between WeiWei and the male lead was so cute, even if it WAS kinda unrealistic at some points. But it's a manhua, it's allowed to be unrealistic! Their relationship was obviously one of the main driving points of this whole story.
-The male lead could sometimes feel a little flat, but that's probably mainly to do with the fact that you can't really see his thoughts and he IS supposed to be a pretty mysterious guy. But despite that, his love for WeiWei was made clear in subtle ways.
-The gameplay aspect was pretty cool! One of the main draws of the story, and is definitely a pretty accurate portrayal of an mmorpg, at least the parts that they display.
Yup. There's a lot more I could probably say but I've already typed a lot ;;; I've read the manhua, watched the movie, then read the novel (in that order) so I clearly liked it a lot. Not even sure why it appealed to me that much?? I can't really pinpoint it... I'm off to watch the drama next, but I highly recommend both the novel and the movie if you like the manhua. The movie took some liberties at some points, but that's to be expected. I'll update this post after I've watched the drama (if I do lol, I'm pretty busy) to say which I recommend more!

who is going around "sightseeing" in that kind of game?? rp to the max LOL
it's not really a huge thing since the manhua is drawn as if they are actually in the game, but just... yeah... -some of the antagonists can be pretty one dimensional (or should I say two dimensional??), but honestly I'm just nitpicking at this point.

Honestly, that basketball scene and the snack scene on the bike ride right before that KILLED ME AHHH SO CUTE

As a fan of the novel, I've watched the drama and the film versions (the drama is excellent and much more faithful to the novel), so I was really curious about the manhua. It's still very early in the story at this point in the scanlation (18 chapters are up), but so far it's cute. The art isn't quite what I expected. It's more of an immature, shoujo-style art, and all in color. The color works well for portraying the in-game world though. I'm still making up my mind about the style.
So far I'm enjoying the story. It does have its drawbacks though. The chapters are very short. Just one scene might get broken up into 2 chapters. Which, if you've read the novel or seen the drama,
I am really hoping that the manhua will properly portray the relationship between KO and Hao Mei. The drama hinted at it, but didn't finish it up (probably due to censors), and the film version did even less. Fingers crossed that the manhua does a better job!

you know that Wei Wei and Xiao Nai aren't going to actually meet for a long, long time at this rate. At the rate the manhua is going, it could easily be 50 chapters in before the MC's actually meet each other.
So it is going to take a lot of patience to wait for this to be scanlated. I might just wait until it's finished before finishing it, as I don't know if I have the patience. I am really hoping that the manhua will properly portray the relationship between KO and Hao Mei. The drama hinted at it, but didn't finish it up (probably due to censors), and the film version did even less. Fingers crossed that the manhua does a better job!
