Did you know that “The Gamer” and/or a small handful of comics like it, started the gamification of life/fantasy trend?

Perhaps someone can look up by date other comics that came out around the same time the gamer came out and find out which one came first. But to my knowledge, the gamer was first if it wasn’t the first, it was one of the very few comics like it soon after it became popular dozens, and then hundreds of other series made a spin off of gamification stories. Now there are so many comics with the scene concept that it’s hard to find the diamond in the rough.

Possible continuation of 'The Gamer' Manhwa

Hello everyone. I hope you all have a good day.

Many of us was surprised by the sudden ending of the story and how many major plot points were left unanswered. It feels like the story still hasn't given anywhere near enough of its full potential.

But I want to try to quit hoping and dreaming and, instead, rise into action myself. I am planning to build upon the point where the authors of the gamer Manhwa has stopped. I want to continue the story as a fan-made that fixes all of the negatives on the manhwa and improves on the positives.

The only problem with this is that I probably can't do it alone. I lack the drawing skills necessary to create and establish a manhwa which is why I'm posting this.

I'm in need of people who are willing to help build upon the marvelous work done by our beloved authors, and I hope to find some here.

I'm looking for someone with the sense and creativity of an artist to share with me this project. You don't have to be able to draw very well. Only the capability to improve and the discipline to pull through no matter what.

That is all. Thank you everyone for reading!

Is Harem King stronger than Han Jee Han?

Even Han Jee Han expel Hadelaide from the earth and become God of games,Harem King is described as his power just like nuclear explosion enough to shatter the illusionary barrier ,his movement and freedom not being restricted by the Gaia system.Harem King seems to be totally invincible when he using his flames clear out Hadelaide's attack.

Abyss World Map

Can anyone link me to a world map for how the abyss actually is and compares to the real one?

Because I tried searching for "geumodo," but it is already a Korean island and not Chinese. Also, I just want to make sense how the nine gates and all other major factions are divided like in a map. I thought there would be one by now, but I can't find it.

PS I know it is just zero stakes and story derailed a lot as most the posts here suggest, but I just wanna make some sense of it.

Giving up on reading the Manhwa(sorry for long rant)

Okay, so the story was alright and intriguing enough at the beginning, a lot of lore dump and basically a crap ton of conversations explaining how the world works. That was understandable as the readers need to at least grasp what world the story's taking place in. But since the whole labyrinth arc... The pacing is completely out of whack, arguably the actual "events" that are taking place are quite interesting concept-wise, but how it was executed is just so hard to enjoy.

Maybe that was just the point where I finally noticed it, but the Labyrinth arc has SOOOOOOO much unnatural conversational info-dumping. The lore dumping and "world-building" through conversation instead of by showing the readers just didn't stop, it got worse even and repetitive so fast. It felt like 80% was telling instead of showing, where characters would go out of their way just for them to have a reason to "explain stuff to the readers". We're not 5 years old, if the world-building is good enough we will figure it out. Characters would so often just go "huh, why?" in the middle of a conversation, then the rest of the chapter would basically just be the other character explaining "so that's why such and such is such and such" about practically everything. Like when the company "president" was talking to the demon king before turning into a "god", they didn't need to dedicate almost an entire chapter of them just talking about nonsense and stuff the readers should already know. Having stuff "implied" in the story instead of explained through dialogue felt pretty much non-existent at that point. They literally could've just shown those two together in that location, then for the MC+crew to later figure out what happened afterwards.

Even with how they dealt with the class president, she basically got to where Sung-il was just a few dozen chapters prior like nothing. Didn't show her struggling at all to grasp the powers that were granted to her(even if "oh it's 'cus MC is just power-leveling her and can heal her physically and mentally so it was ez pz"), BECAUSE their bond of MC showing class prez the "ropes" of the powers and the abyss and how he related to her being new to everything could've been SHOWN to the readers instead. Through that, we wouldn't need that bullshit scene of Sung-il going like "You're not even close with her, I'd risk my life for you but not for her" and MC just responding with "I just have to do it just because I'm gud guy". If they just SHOWN the MC and class prez bonding more through struggling with being new to the abyss instead of "oh all of a sudden she's level 36 because they power-leveled through speed-clearing the labyrinth ez pz", then MC and class prez's relationship and him wanting to help her would've been more clear to the readers without needing to have another grueling dialogue, it would've been way easier for MC to convince Sung-il of his motivations too. Just minor shit like that, when you keep stacking them together and back-to-back, it's just tiring.

It just got to a point where when I knew it would just be multiple panels of "explaining", I'd just lose interest and breeze through it. It happened so much that I just found myself so frustrated and uninterested in the story at that point asking myself "What the fuck is the point of this again?", "Why do I have to read all this text again?", "What is even going on?" and realizing I just didn't care to find out the answer to those questions anymore. Tried to tough it out hoping it'll get better, but I might just give up or at least take a break from it. Idk if I want to waste more of my time to get caught up on chapters when I feel like this when I'm not even halfway through such a story yet. I just feel I'll leave more disappointed at that point than I am right now.

Idk, maybe someone can convince me otherwise that there's light at the end of the tunnel and that it gets better and I should just be patient with it? Is the Labyrinth arc just kind of ass compared to prior and subsequent arcs or?

Just started reading the first few chapters and I have got to ask: Does the grammar of the English translation improve later on at all?

The syntax of most sentences is just off.

"Weird thing keep happening" "alright tear off"

"moving speed is slower than human running, but when you get close it sudden attacks with HIGHT speed"

No pluralization, missing verbs, weird punctuation, etc...

Will this get better in later chapters or does the translation stay this shoddy?

Hate the mask arc

Spoilers fir the church of mask arc

I'm just so POd that he let's them live

Not her fault? She's kidnapping and brainwashing people. It is totally her fault at this point. Just having a sad past doesn't excuse doing horrible things to others. God I wish he actually killed her. She is worse than say the necromancer guy who at least didn't brainwash and steal people's ego. I can't believe they are trying to say this crap is better than murder, you lose everything it means to be you and exist as a shell with memories, it's literally never ending torture. Even their soul would be effected because when they die their soul still believes the brainwashing BS. And yet he let's what's her bitch face live? That's so messed up. What kind of crappy morals do you need to have to not realize how that is a problem, I mean why does it seem to take their twisted logic that basically "you can't understand because your not me" like a three year old might argue that but a grown ass adult should realize how stupid of an argument that is and he able to realize that it's just a brainwashing cult. From that point on I can never consider him moral again no matter what he does because he's shown that little kid logic is all it takes to break his morals. Like at what point did he despite his large intelligence become so freaking stupid? He was always a bit dense but this is leagues above that in stupidity.

Ive reread the series several times but every time this arc ruins stuff for me. It goes from being interesting to forcing myself to read some stupid twisted logic being treated like normal. It's so hard to force myself through I have stopped reading at this point a couple times because it's just that stupid. He needs to grow the freak up and take proper responsibility, those people have been forever brainwashed. Honestly killing them would be a mercy but I would get leaving most of them alive. But the woman who created this situation and fucked with others brains. The woman who is worse than the kidnapper and the necromancer who he was ready to kill earlier on, he let's live for some weak logic. After this I just can't stop viewing him as a stupid coward who's existence creates more problems than it solves which would be fine if he didn't try to play the moral person and accepted that he was a morally Grey asshat

Adult Gamer like manga-manhwa?

Read thru 40 ch and looks like Gamer is another example ot teenage dreams manhwa. Is there any other manhwa where we do have: blood, girls, sex, death and everything? Gamer is just so kiddy reading. I sisnt go to far but looks like MC is gonna forgive everyone, never does tough choices never kills. Is there anything worthy reading where we have real adult setting?

I mean if we take romance and sex out, Solo leveling would be good example. But is there something else? Thx.
