It grows on you

The first 50 chapters are quite mediocre in my opinion. This part is a remake of the old Manhwa with the same name. The story lags a bit, and in my opinion not at all special. However It grows from each chapter after those 50 chapters.. and is now really good, full of humor.

I'm slogging through the first 20 chapters. None of the "user" characters are nice. But I can deal with that if they had something else going for them like...I dunno, smarts? The MC being idiotic is even noted in the story itself when it comes to utilizing his crazy Legendary class. Even this tongue-in-cheek breaking the forth wall style dramedy can't save this in my eyes.

The worst sin this manhwa committed is not even the above points. It's that the characters are unbearably boring. I'm struggling with the pace. I know webtoons generally take an unholy 40 or so chapters to get anywhere but there usually SOMETHING that'll keep a reader engaged before it finally hooks you for good. This has nothing.

I'm going to skip to chapter 40 and desperately hope it'll get better.

Mediocre at best

As other say, the MC being a disagreeable fellow and taking a game too seriously make this one hard to like for me. The MC not only is a selfish prick with no sense of commitment (which could be fine, maybe, since it's a game after all) is compounded by him actually putting more weight in the farce than in reality, for example, the dude is happy and considers an achievement in life to marry an NPC and get rid of his virginity with her! how lame can that be... and since he clearly considers the game an alternate reality, his personality in game is just how he is, not him making light of it or role-playing a character. Hellbrassen review is on spot here.
Story-wise, it's really lame, as with many such manhwas, an MC that gets a ridiculously OP class goes from being useless to making lotsa money and becoming several times stronger than others at his same level in little time while having the nerve to complain all the time. Also as it always happen, the developers just watch instead of, as happens in real life, patching the game and balancing it properly.
Other than that, the art is good, the pace is ok and dialogues are lame and very shallow.
Overall, it's a rather boring story, and as far as I could tell the start was the best part of it, after 70ch it getting worse rather than getting more interesting. Putting this one on hold, probably dropped for good.

A load of comments from people so used to reading garbage like mha, csm, tokyo ghoul and kimetsu amongst others. The reviews are rather comical to read and evokes pity imagining which shallow reader might be writing them.
The story in its initial phase, as similar works tell, quite slow and uninspired. But from the quarter point it starts picking up pace gradually. As oversaturated as the genre might seem in it's plot pattern, what is the main focus of this story is in it's entirety, all the characters so masterfully portrayed and developed over time. As the reader progresses through each chapter, the characters grow right alongside them gradually. Not too fast, yet not too slow either: at just the right pace. Shinwoo and Greed's growth as a human is definitely the most exciting, slowly rubbing the divide between his life's fiction and reality. It is not that he grows alone, but rather nurtures and raises everyone around him, be it friend or foe. Through Greed's eyes, the initial clear cut categorisation in Satisfy's world, between the players themselves and the NPCs too slowly starts to blur.
Honestly, it'd be easy to go on and on about how despite being cut from the same cloth, this piece of work strays the furthest and goes ways toward making a compelling work of fantastic fiction. And if readers truly wish to dive deepest into why and how Overgeared is so good, then reading the webnovel is definitely a must.

Unimpressive.

This VRMMO-style story has a few neat ideas - specifically, quests don't just involve NPCs, but usually pit players against one another (i.e. if civilians fight against corrupt authorities, there will be players on either side of the conflict). And sufficiently difficult quests can ostensibly result in the death of the quest-giving NPC and all future quests associated with them.

However, besides these few innovations, the rest of the story is rather generic. The art isn't good enough, and in particular facial expressions are way too bland for what should be disturbing situations. The protagonist gains an ability which is transparently overpowered from the beginning, rather than having to make ingenious use of his skills to become strong. The plot progression is unexceptional.

Even worse, there's a level system, which quickly becomes pointless when the protagonist turns out to be ridiculously overpowered for their level. And idiots attack the protagonist's team for idiotic reasons, get defeated, and then vow revenge. (Yeah, I sure have never seen either of those scenarios before...)

Ultimately, this story can't overcome its generic origins.

South Park

Rating: 3.0  / 10.0
You know that one episode from south park where the gang plays World Of Warcraft? Its an episode making fun of people who take the game to seriously, the way the characters act in that episode is the way the characters act in this manga, its as if the game is super important on par with real life and as an Old School MMO player with 15 years on my belt i just want to say... it's kinda cringe. It's clear when I read this manga that the writer has a very limited knowledge of how MMOs work. Anyone who has played MMOs for any lengthy period would not be able to take the story seriously and would find themselves cringing and annoyed while reading it.

It's not a solid story

Overgeared tells story of game addict who dreamed to get rich through a game he play. It never worked out. Until one day, he acquired a really special class, rarer than entire player base have. And, after understanding the advantage of said class, he began to make obscene amount money.

Oh, the plot progression is not that straightforward. There are times when he makes a fool of himself. It makes the story develop naturally. The good thing is, they're packaged with ample humor. Enjoyability is very likely.

Unfortunate to me, those humor doesn't distract me from bad points of this webtoon. I can mention two.

(1) Author doesn't really have idea on how mmorpg is made, marketed, and maintained. There's no designer, programmer, or community manager. If issues crop up, it goes straight to the higher ups. Just think of this, there are numerous times when the higher ups in the game maker company make a fuss over who unlocked aforementioned special class. They know because a game admin (lol) gave them a phone call. They even hold meetings about one other player quest progression. That's silly.

(2) The money main character made is obscene. Selling one highest rarity item enabled him buying the most luxurious car around. No streaming contract, no brand partnership, no profiteering. Just a sale of a game item. That's silly.

I think this is the disease of every game novel (in this case, webtoon) in existence. Authors made their game as the most important thing in the world. A single game would never. This unbelievable setting makes readers who care about setting (in this case, world building) unable to take it seriously. I, personally, can't even enjoy it. If I don't have an old friend who want me to read it, I would stop reading on chapter 1.

(Actually, I did know about overgeared before my friend mentioned it to me. And I did stopped after the first chapter.)

But if you're a kind of reader who can ignore its setting, I think you can enjoy this webtoon. Just be wary, first half of currently available chapter is utterly boring. Next half is so so.
