| Sprinting for 4 hours straight without water in a desert while being chased by giant monsters? They could’ve at least tried to make it a little bit realistic 💀 |
| Dang how did he even run for 4 hours lol. Welp, he's forced to do that Saitama regime now lol. Oof cliffhanger moment too. |
 Never ending plan to watch list... |
| Bit of Goblin slaying. Another solid episode but man I'm already getting impatient becuz I want the show to get to the epic parts from the manhwa. |
 |
| If Jin-woo is a weakling but is still able to outrun giant centipedes for 4 hours straight after being woken and transported to a desert in the middle of the night after getting his limbs ripped off and going through a 3-day coma.... then I needa work out more man |

| My friend recommended this to me a while ago. my conclusion... it's MID as could be. And the korean names suck. I strongly dislike everything so far. 2/10 |

| I do find it very intriguing to see how different Jin Woo's life will be now that he's a player, although his mana level when rated earlier by those two officials still rate him at the bottom of the barrel of E-rank. Ouch... Putting that aside, his main life is almost reminiscent to a gacha game, with him needing to do a set amount of workouts that'll get Saitama's seal of approval. However, the penalty for not doing his daily quests, as was shown here, are pretty severe. Still, at least he's good at running away, so that helped him survive 4 hours of being chased by that huge centipede. XD As with gacha dailies, he does get rewards for completing them, where he cares more about his stat increases than anything else. His mindset does remind me of Maple from Bofuri, where he decides to dump those stat boost on one thing, with it being strength compared to Maple's defense. However, his combats skill do need some work, as was shown with him going alone in an instance dungeon and then struggling against 3 goblin enemies. He's no Goblin Slayer, but at least he did beat them, which then led to a tougher fight against a beast, where the episode ends in yet another cliffhanger. Honestly, I'd be surprised to see an episode that doesn't end on a cliffhanger at this rate! I don't mind it for now, but putting that aside, I do look forward to seeing how Jin Woo will handle this dungeon. |

| Surprising show for the moment. I was expecting another SAO-clone but it looks more like Attack on Titan in an Isekai. |

damn they covered 10 chapters of the manwha / just 2 episodes, so how many chapters will the anime cover?

Why not? I need to watch to be able to give it a chance and provide a proper, unbiased and objective review. :)
I know the truth hurts, but I got to be honest, this looks overhyped so far.
Nothing impressive, nothing refreshing, the S-class hunters in the first episode looked generic and laughable.
I'm afraid this show will be forgotten pretty fast :/

You aren’t being constructive or criticising, you were only hating. So you are hate watching here, and not enjoying your time. So why waste time?
Truth of criticism would be: pacing isn’t that good so far, the story seems simple but tbh that’s not a bad thing, there’s no fight scenes yet to say anything about animation, which should be the big factor of next episode. The characters seem interesting so far. The way they end the episodes is just plain bad as it doesn’t add suspension but adds annoyance.
That’s how you be constructive and criticise. You are saying it’s overhyped when nothing happened yet. Then you said multiple things which drives anyone to think you are just going with hate train. Something that happened to Demon Slayer and yet it is the most watched and popular anime right now… No1 can take this hate seriously. Criticise and watch. I literally criticise anything even the things I like. I doubt you do that, you are just here to be like anime community. That’s my advice anyways, take it or don’t, your choice.
| @Confused_100 You're assuming a lot about me. I've been on MAL since 2016 (8years), with only 176 forum posts, you've been here for less than a year, with 687 posts. It doesn't look like I spend my time "hating" on things. I just share my expertise and experience in japanese animation :) You said it yourself, "nothing happened yet", after 3 episodes. Given the amount of animes competing in a season, not to mention the amount of shows from previous seasons that some viewers need to catch up to, giving the audience 3 episodes where "nothing happened" is UNACCEPTABLE, it's an insult to the audience that has limited time to watch animes. A good anime needs to entertain and catch the audience's attention/interest from the BEGINNING. The flaws you pointed out are unacceptable, given the competition and the high quality standards, we, as anime fans, are supposed to expect from those studios. 3 episodes in and nothing happened is mediocre at best. The only reason people are not flaming it (yet), is because of the (over)hype around it from the biased source material fan base. The only reason I havent dropped it yet, is because of the hype. Any other show with such poor pace, generic story and messy directing with that amount of padding (time wasting) already, would have been thrown into the trash by 90% of people here if it wasn't for the show being "trendy" and the promise of it getting good. But for how long this masquerade can go? Notice how the fanbase was telling "the story is going to really get good in episode 2" after episode 1, nope... then "just wait for episode 3 you'll be blown away", nope... then now they're saying the story is really about to take off in episode 4, haha. Let's see... |

| interesting idea, being like a real life video-game... I mean, I don't like when they make an isekai with a fantasy world with video-game features, because feels lazy... when MC is tranported to a RPG-like world, is cool to imagine the details of how that world would works if was real... instead, they fill with RPG elements, like level, status, class... almost like they were trying to avoid imagine the world as real... but the MC working like a video-game in a real world, is different anyway... I would start putting points on speed, if I had to fight with those status irl... better not be hitted |

| w0w! they're really draggin' this! so slow!! oh man! much slower more money to milk! oh deymn! 3/5. |

| AHHH CLIFFHANGER |

| Ah so now we understand where this is going. He's actually solo leveling his own abilities by getting merged into some kind of game, damn who knows whats the max stats there. When he squashed that apple, I thought he'll destroy them with one hit, but he still facing troubles lol |
| And so the training begins! After going through all that I'm surprised at how quickly Jinwoo seems to have recovered, mentally, but I guess it could probably be something to do with the whole "player" thing. Also, I really can't believe they're going to leave us on a cliffhanger like that... |
