Interesting

It's interesting to see his moral descent as he does more evil things and rationalises it as survival and such.

Also the occasional plot point where we're referred back to the bigger mystery of the isekai is nice to see. I didn't expect it, considering the novels has over 800 chapters ad is ongoing but we see stuff about this withing 70 chapters of the manhwa.

It does leave an unpleasant feeling to see him murder when he frankly shouldn't at times. But it's just that kind of story.

There's some good humour. I laughed a few times.

The art is really good.

It does seem to be a harem but one where the mc has no interest in romance (so far) nor sex.

One of the best in this genre

It's not a perfect manhwa but the plot is engaging and MC feels like a real guy with his own personality and sadly enough both of those are very rare in most transmigration manhwas especially the ones about a game.
And for once the game mechanics make sense! The author didn't write about a game that wouldn't be published let alone be "The best-selling game ever" 😀

I have to emphasize that this is my opinion of the first season since manhwas tend to go downhill in the second season or around chapter 100 so it might change soon.

Promising Story with a Skilled Protagonist and Engaging Development

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

I find the story promising and well-developed. The protagonist is a hardcore gamer, so he knows about the world once he's reincarnated into it.

Sometimes, he struggles to achieve his goals, but thanks to his teammates and his knowledge, he always succeeds.

I find the story engaging and I'm eager to see what happens next.

Big task to adapt the novel

by BepsRose

Rating: N/A

The novel is LONG and I think still ongoing. Multiple plot lines develop that make things very complicated, characters come and go and come back between story arcs. The world building in the novel is immense and deep. It's actually impressive.

However, that's the novel. Adapting it to a webtoon must be quite daunting. The first season I think was done well, but it covers maybe 5% of what has been published of the novel. I'm excited to see it, but it'll take 10 years to adapt the whole story. And we don't even know if the ending will make the ride worthwhile yet.

Also, it's not harem. The people around him actually end up noticing and gossiping about how he's surrounded by women, but they're actually just really capable fighters. There IS mild romance in that he has mutual feelings with 1 character (but of course things can't be easy) and there's a different character who acts crazy yandere to him. That's it. There's a great female cast that are all badass and don't just exist for the sake of the ML

strong start but peters out quickly

by JakeMertens

3/10. The story gets off to a really strong start but disappointingly devolves into mediocre chaff.

In early chapters the hero desperately struggles to survive a level one goblin trap which is great tension, but as the story develops so too does the hero develop invulnerable plot armor which dutifully wipes away any suspense.

Interesting combat tactics and decision-making in early chapters -- for example, an arm being disabled forcing the protagonist to choose which of his two weapons suits the situation better -- are replaced by plot contrivances as he conveniently manifests whatever item or ability he needs to adapt to the problem which was introduced only 3 panels earlier.

The moment it feels like the hero starts to develop chemistry with one of the (predominantly female) supporting cast the author contrives a way to sideline them for the foreseeable future in favor of introducing some new potential love interest as we barrel towards a nonsense harem ending.

The hero's early internal conflict of adjusting morals to a violent new environment goes nowhere as he just becomes an unrepentant murderhobo while side characters similarly discard their principles in favor of becoming sycophants mindlessly justifying his decision making to the audience.

All in all it seems like the author of the original source material had enough ideas for an average setting and a few readable early chapters and then had no creative juice left so they just pumped out whatever day by day, which has bled into this visual adaptation

Smart MC, hard working. The story always has him struggling to survive and there is real tension, but not to the point of being depressing.
