As noted in the title, I have mixed feelings about this. FIrst off, the good: I was pretty instantly drawn into the story here, and frankly really liked the characters and setting. Something about it (and I can't really clarify what) just really captured my attention. The MC is interesting, the setting is intricate (being put into a high difficulty game, yet the game doens't have trash attributes, etc), the potential female leads are great. So much so, that I read all the (few) available chapters, and then went out to find the original (some spoilers in comments really made me want to read more, perhaps even to the level of trying out the MTL if necessary).
However, all that is based on the setting and source material. THe main stumbling block, is that is an ABSOLUTE HOT GARBAGE ADAPTATION.
Let me be clear, the adaptation is trash.
As one commenter reporter (and I later verified it myself), the first 6 chapters of the manhwa adapt EIGHTEEN (18) chapters of the original story. That's a ratio that is beyond absurd. The first 6 chapters of this story is nonsensical, and filled with plot holes because entire scenes, and at one point, an entire chapter, is just flat out skipped. Skipping that much in the beginning of a story, when the world building and character motivations are just being established, is almost a fatal deathblow to the story.
And to be fair, the next 6 chapters (12 are all that's out as of this review) are much better paced. I did mention that i was drawn to the story, and i'm not really sure why lol.
So yeah, TL;DR, absolute trash adaptation for the beginning. I highly recommend waiting until more has been released and then marathoning a bunch of it, because the beginning is REALLY rough to get through. I wish the studio adapting this did a better job, because I actually really like the original (read all that's TL'd, and still debating MTL at this point).
Verdict: wait a bit, but then definitely check it out when there's a ton of chapters to read.
