The Slumbering Ranker

Feb 3, 2023

I had fun but the pacing is really slow. They wasted no time making the MC super OP quickly, and to counteract it they spent the rest of the time covering things about other characters into too much detail to fill up the empty space of needing more chapters. They blitzed his growth and then spend so much time on other characters that aren't directly relevant to MC yet. 30% of this manwha is characters watching MC from afar and going "waaaow crazy no way best player of all time he must be level 400" etc etc. Another 10% is some guy in a suit biting his lip going "man MC got this stupid bugged class but I can't do anything about it so I'm going to semi-narrator inner monologue to the reader to waste everyone's time." Complaints aside this is above average for what is on the market and I had a good time reading the first season. Hopefully things really come together in the next and our MC can form connections with all these random characters that don't have a relationship with the MC yet. Otherwise this manwha should be renamed "The Hero Guild Brainstorms On Recruiting Mysterious Masked Youtuber?"

SPOILERS ahead

Keeping his identity a secret from his sister detracts from the plot and just makes things slightly more convoluted than they have to be. Doesn't really add value this time around.
