Korea Numba Wan!

by AnduinX

Rating: 5.0 / 10.0

This manhwa suffers from the typical problems of its genre. When authors bring fantasy to Earth, as opposed to sending their protagonist to a fantasy world, they often insert their political views into the story as they tell a tale with real nations. This can be alright, if it's done tastefully and in moderation, but as of Chapter 52 I am left with the feeling of marinating in it. The "bad guy" nations are the usual suspects, and the Korea #1 nationalism that plagues such manhwa is, as always, cringe to people outside of Korea.

If you can get past that, then strap yourself down for mediocrity. The story starts off interesting, but rapidly becomes a snoozefest.

Pure power fantasy

MC faces very few actual obstacles throughout, and the ending is quite abrupt.

There are interesting threads and characters that are introduced early, but vanish completely from the story, never to be seen again. So there was potential there, but it went unexplored.

Still, if all you want is a simple uncomplicated power fantasy, this is that.

This is like solo leveling with some improvements, but the result is somehow much worse.
For one, the art is much worse. The characters are even worse than in solo leveling which is almost a feat. The world building is slightly better at first. For example, the logical conclusion that one of the hardest things about going to a different dimension is the completely alien environment.

The pace of the story is ridiculous though. It also suffers from making every other person in the world basically useless. All countries do the dumbest things and so on. It is annoying.

The MC is a pretty horrible person in many ways but also in that he doesn't care about human life pretty much at all. Why ? Because in his previous life, no one was nice to him and helped him become a demi-god, which he did in the end. Apparently he had no friends. I don't even know what to say to that. Honestly, if you live as long as he did and have no friends, maybe you are the problem ?

Interesting start but mediocre later

Modern world turns into a fantasy sci-fi mmorpg. A few chosen get awakening with abilities, magic, stats akin to a rpg and have to fight against monsters that start spawning into our world. Our protagonist was a normal human however an incident cause him to suddenly recover memories of his live as a powerful mage from another fantasy world thus he also awakens. Using knowledge from his previous life combined with the current rpg system and also modern technology, he becomes stronger and gets notice by special organizations.

At first, i was pretty drawn in by the world building and premise but the manhwa just fell apart soon after. Its dull, boring, lacks structure and is ridiculous.

The protagonist is probably one of the most uninteresting main characters i've seen. I'm not expecting the extreme spectrum of dark or hero. The protagonist as a character is even more boring than a normal average joe person from a slice of life theme. It is that bad. Even the side characters have more color to them despite rarely being in the limelight.

As usual for stories with this theme, our MC is quite overpowered. Not complaining, i welcome it. However the most distinct disappointment is the lack of structure and limitations to the encompassing power system as well as the plot. I dunno how to explain it, its like a friggin 8 year old Chuunibyou wrote this manwha. All common sense, restrictions is thrown out the window, anything he likes dug out from his realm of creativity is thrown into the story haphazardly. Fighting a sorcerer beast in one moment while the next we get a Kardashev Scale Type II civilization(google it if you don't know what it means) battleship next then we get sentient life creation. Needless to say its a disaster as a whole. Plot and storyline, writing is simply unprofessional and don't gel well together. The concepts are not grounded and lacks a basis. Author is just throwing in random ingredients into the blender hence my 8 year old Chuunibyou reference.

Really disappointed by this one. Only redeeming thing is the art style and drawing. I expected greater things from reading the first few chapters like an appealing storyline, mature writing, structured storyboard, colorful characters and a solid MC to anchor the plot but unfortunately, we get NONE of those. Don't recommend this manwha unless you're an 8 year old chuuni.

Somewhat good

by PZcolo

Rating: 6.5 / 10.0

Somewhat good and generic shounen manhwa, it's a sort of mix between "Solo leveling" and "World Trigger" and in many senses plays the middle part between those two series, this one has quite a bit of action but also has some strategy and team-building while not going too deep into any direction, it manages to have lots of action while maintaining some coherence in setting and story, or put in another way, it cares less than Solo Leveling on looking cool and being badass but is not as deep in the explanations as World Trigger, it's a fair compromise. Same for the art and flow of battles, it cares less for being flashy and over the top cool and more about "clarity" (probably not the best word), the battles are simpler than Solo leveling but easier to follow and understand, which I prefer, and again not as deep as the encounters in World trigger.
Story-wise, it's too soon to say much of the story but I don't really expect much from it, the MC is reincarnated after being killed by a dragon, gets stronger, companies fight for him and so on, I'm guessing he'll find the dragon at some point too. The main story development will probably go along the lines of delving into the mysterious system and the god behind it.
In any case, the fights are not bad, the art is good and the characters so far are good enough, somewhat interesting without going overboard with cliches and characterization. So yeah, decent, somewhat good, does nothing particularly well nor bad. If you like shounen give it a try.

Ehhh.. it’s ok

by Charrr

It’s pretty good except for the fact that it’s exactly the same as solo leveling in the beginning. Like legit, both of them are like, “oh no my moms dying now I have to work as a hunter and find one mysteriously rare cure that only hunters can get!” And also it feels kinda like a rip off of solo leveling in the beginning, like fr, the sorcerer king also got his OP abilities after a near death experience (like solo leveling).

But besides all that, I think this Manhwa is pretty stereotypical, OP MC, “I’m the best at everything!”-type Manhwa, which ISNT A BAD THING. It’s actually pretty enjoyable when you have nothing else to do. The art style is...ok.

TL;DR
Is pretty cliche and stereotypical but it’s alright when you have nothing else to do.

Lackluster

Art, story, MC, and plot are all sub-par compared to Solo Levelling, if I'm being honest. Just couldn't get into it, especially because you feel like the MC is just dragging you along and only explaining 20% of anything.
