Read to Level Up

Description

The main character, Jong-Seok Lee used to be your average, run of the mill person. The only thing remotely interesting about him is the fact that he’s always at local book stores. All of that changes when he suddenly encounters a completely blank book and foolishly accepts what’s asked of him...

Not a Manhwa

by Ajaifel

Add this to the list of 'says Manhwa, it's actually a Manhua'
It reads like the finest trashy manhua, give it a pass.

OK at the start, but goes downhill

About 2/3 through, and not sure I'll finish. The original premise is a bit interesting, but it doesn't seem to go anywhere. Main character seems to be basing the rest of their life off the first few skills they got from the book (you know, the TITLE of the story) and that's it. There are surely so many more skills you could gain. What a waste of a premise.

Last part ruined beyond recognition past ch100

by Fidzius

The only supernatural element of an adventurous slice-of life was the book.
Then they added Murim level superhuman abilities, possession and even a random Deus-ex-machina turning the story bizarre.
Then they turned it into lawless corrupt, power abusing mafia action story.

Couldn't bear it and dropped it (at ch126), this isn't what i was reading for 100 chapters.

Up to 35 and for a reason

After chapter 35, it's as if the author decided on a hard plot and story shift. It went from a fairly okay piece to something that was more akin to a chinese manhua.

With the overwhelming MC that breezes through anything and everything.

Where he started with a level head and suddenly developed, "Courage!" and pursued a woman he'd -just- met. After forgetting about the HighSchool girlfriend's first kiss, no less. Then kinda ignoring the cooking Noona.

Read up to 35, then drop it.

Boring after a good start.

by PZcolo

Rating: N/A

Starts good but it got boring fast, he just gets anything he wants without having to do anything, he just writes some crappy experience or the name of a book he read and then exchange a few of those for millenary secrets, oh and his body and brain magically transforms from it too so he doesn't even have to study or train his body. By ch 50, he's a master cook, unparalleled martial artist of more than 3 disciplines, connoisseur of the arts, artist himself, master of tradicional Chinese medicine, masseur, etc, etc, I'm missing quite a few. I also don't parlicularly like the MC, nor dislike him, still he's carrying the "story" alone so it's kind of lacking.
Add to it that there doesn't to be any kind of arching story, so yeah, kind of dull. With luck it will get better later but they rarely do.

Don't know why there is no discussion about this webtoon/manwha. I think it's something new approach for as a same genre. I hope this will continue to be translated. Thanks
