Maybe the web comic is awesome but so far the anime is nothing special. Other than the Korean names.

    Tbf it is mid as a Manhwa. It was carried by its great art and the power fantasy nature of the story. The anime would be shit story wise but as long as they get the animation good, it’ll be fine.

      I think it handles the whole “game but irl” theme pretty well, the growth of the MC seems pretty balanced as he does work for every power that he gets instead of getting free power ups off screen, and as he gets stronger so do the nature of the threats.

      The art is def amazing though like wow.

      Manhwa generally manage to be way ahead of manga art-wise, even if just because of full colour (and many are just plainly superior in every art aspect), i recently tried to read some mangas and noticed black and white makes it way less readable for me.

      Is that one a “urban cultivation” genre? I found the genre generally extremely abhorrent due to portraying moden China as something between mafia run kratocracy and lawless wuxia jungle. And for some reason no author of that genre can even keep coherent plot for more than 50 chapters.
