Started Sept 2013, 63 chapters as of today. Anyone reading that? I think it's pretty fucking awesome.

Context for those who have never seen it before: "Han Jee-Han, a normal high school student, suddenly develops a special power where his entire world is shifted into a game-like setting. He can see the power levels of people, look at the stats of a seemingly normal item, get abilities, and even level up! Follow Han Jee-Han as he discovers how to use this power, and maybe even where it came from.".


Give it a try. You won't be dissapointed.

 

Read it after Nuhuh posted his Naruto/The Gamer fusion. It's surprisingly good considering that till recent chapters all the main character did was grinding.

But then again I do enjoy all these fics with 90% of its content being about Harry developing his abilities, so it's something that I'm fan of.

 

I've been thinking about getting into this... in fact, I just started. However, the official webtoons translation is god awful, as usual. Is there a site with better translation? Mangafox seems to have better, but I'd really like the best.

I also have to say that this is a colored manhwa, like Tower of God.

 

I've been reading this for a while. It's... Not bad, but I wish it was a lot better. The concept is awesome, but seems pretty limited by the author's ability. Still, early days, so I'm hoping for improvement in the future.

In the mean time, anyone know of anything decent with a similar concept? So far I've read DICE, Re:Monster, and Slime Tensai Monogatari.

Edit: I've been using Mangahere, I couldn't tell you if there's a better one or not. I remember when I was first looking for it, only two groups seemed to be translating, and one vanished.

 

I use mangafox, personally.

 

Honestly, it might be better for people starting now and reading it all in one go. But for me, who've been reading Gamer since it's come out, it's so awful with the week after week of grinding. Seriously. I don't mind reading like 10 chapters of it, but once you have 40+ chapters of grinding ( That's literally almost a year's worth of chapters), then it just gets ridiculous.

 

I read it all at once and I enjoyed it, so there many be merit to that.

 

I've been reading this ever since it started and have been loving it. The author for whatever reason makes the plot advance at a snails fucking pace but the entire premise and execution has just been great.

Though there's a few things that i feel an avid gamer like Han-jee Han would have already been exploring, i understand why the author isn't rushing to have him exploit them as he would grow to powerful to quickly, and he's already grown pretty fucking powerful in a relatively short amount of time(when compared to how he's practically already caught up to his best friend).

I also feel that we don't see Han-jee Han doing nearly enough quests. I think in all 63 chapters, we've seen him do what 2 quests? And both of them were done in like the same chapter. But it seems the plot is finally picking up pace and he's finally ready to enter the Abyss so i look forward to things to come.

 

Just at chapter 25 now, but this thing is amazing. As an rpg fanatic, it's really easy to get into, and the protag is surprisingly fun, I love when he gets excited about new skills and abilities, and I like that he's really thinking things out. I don't mind the grinding and training at all - it's fun.

I do have a feeling that the author is intentionally making sure not to make him too broken. "If a normal person with knowledge about gaming obtained this ability" - that's what I think this manhwa is about. I'd be more interested in reading about a genius who exploits the hell out of the system. But that's be pretty demanding of the author.

5/5 so far.

 

I caught up on this a few weeks ago and I can tell you it wasn't necessarily better reading all that grinding in one go. Although it maybe wasn't quite as bad as taking it over the course of many months.

Overall, this manhwa is ok. The concept is cool, but character development and plot progression are both rather weak.

I hate the concept of the "gamer's mind" passive. It's the author's way of saying, "I can't be bothered to write a realistic character, so here's why he acts so much better than any other human realistically would."

 

I actually really liked the mind of the gamer. It really adds a dark side to his powers.

 

Finished it. Immersive, entertaining, funny. Easily 5/5.

My only complaint would be that the protag is an obvious virgin who's never kissed before, and he's a bit too much of a good guy, not wanting to kill anybody.

 

New chapter is out. I'm enjoying things so far, and the grinding didn't bother me so much having it available to rush through in a couple of days.

 

Very interesting concept, mostly good characters (except the sick chick, boriiiing), but with a very frustrating pace. The Universe itself isn't very interesting, not nearly enough to enjoy the full potential of this idea.

 

Bump because recent updates.

Last chapters was kind of grind-y, but Han's new skills look pretty fucking sweet. Dat flight :3

 

I can't believe he's been playing all this time and hasn't looked at what all the stats actually do yet.

Seems like he should have looked for the teleport skill as well.

 

Does that mean if he learns "resurrection" skill, he can bring back the dead? Or are there any limits to what he can do? If he's become a game character and the world changes with him, then shouldn't he be able to do it?

 

That's assuming that a resurrection skill exists for him to learn. If one does then it's unlikely that he'd be the only one to know it.

 

Not to mention that on low levels all he'd probably make are zombies.
