This is really straight forward manhwa...battle - recruited - train...rinse and repeat..only the mc basically has limitless growth so no matter what team hes in they are 1000% guaranteed to win. The mc personality is pretty shet but it kind of works for him. few hot waifus are to but they hardly ever appear. 99.9% sure no girlfriend ever to.
umm as i understood the new war is on the horizon but the mc isnt telling the world about it..instead..since hes supposedly the savior so i think he keeps going shet alone behind he scenes to kill the new boss..while everyone le is still playing the r game xD
iv read til the 111 i think hats out. it filled the bored hours i had bu iaint gonna invest more time. its not that interesting. But then again you might be loving this 😉

Not bad at all

The asura translation isn't very good though so you might want to wait for the official to catch up.

The MC is interesting. He is very rough and pretty crude, but he is not a horrible asshole. You grow to like him. An actual battle maniac, but honestly it kind of makes sense that kind of obsessive person would be the best.
He has friends and he treats them warmly even if he is gruff. It makes sense given his upbringing.

The story is not amazing, but it is alright. Art is nice. Fun overall.

The art, fighting, and art is really great. But, the MC just just too dumb or naive so he being used by Player Association to fight for them.

Don't remember how many chapters I read but it was a fair amount

Nothing more than what it says it is.
If you want sport action, give it a go.

Actually pretty good.

I'm actually really shocked by this only having negative written reviews.

The arory line is unique with it kind of being a world after dungeons are gone and they've transitioned awakened people into battlefield simulation sports instead.

The main character is OP but in an understandable way as well as being a type of tsundere.

I'd recommend reading up to at least ch 20 and remember any plotholes that exist are most likely going to be explained by the end

Total cringe plot and full of plotholes

by LoveBoobs

Rating: 3.0 / 10.0

So, you want to write a game theme story. But guess what, you only know how to write drama. So, what do you get? A cringe story full of plotholes.
Dropped at chapter 10 because it felt like I was losing IQ in real time while reading the story. Lemme give you some examples:
VR pod apparently scans MC's hidden ability immortality by default. But guess what, it somehow cannot scan his stats? Also such a big game and you need to carry weapons from real weapons into the pod otherwise they would not appear in the game? Does the author even knows what VR is or played any game in his whole life to come up with this kind of mechanics?
The most popular real time virtual reality game on earth and you found about a hidden path that nobody knows about. How logical is that.
MC gets 180 degree personality swing and decides to play the game which he had no reason to play in chapter 10 for no big reason or plot development. Sigh, corrections has their limits. At this rate whatever writer wants would appear on the story regardless or characters personality, plot or any logic.
I give up!!! This is all for me, I can't take this anymore!!!
Dropped in chapter 10 and hope that I forget that this series exists.
