Nonsensical and boring. The first half is completely directionless, and the second half speed runs a ridiculous plot just to end the series. The author struggles to develop anything meaningful here, and the world-building is atrocious. You're either a disposable video game NPC or you're the overpowered main character, no exceptions. Why is everyone in this world a psychopathic killer when it appears to be modern day Korea? Again, there's no logical explanation. Villains come and go within a single chapter with zero build up. Why were so many chapters wasted on turf wars? The whole series is quite bizarre.

This manhwa is just bad. There is no character development, world building is awful, side characters exist but in name only, and relationships between characters only exist so the author can say he didn't write down a straight line and call it a map. This is one of the most uninspired reads I have read in a very long time. I read to chapter 80 and then skipped to the last chapter. I should have dropped it much sooner, but even though I held out, I am glad I dropped it when I did. After reading the last chapter, I missed nothing from skipping 30 ... chapters. I was able to understand exactly what happened, what the story did in between, with no surprises or unexpected outcomes. Well maybe the only unexpected outcome is the mc said more than three words to the potential romantic interest that never develops.

All of that said, this could have been a good story with some world building and character development. The author wanted to make an action driven story and was so focused on his idea of having a cool super hero that he forgot to make him a person above all things first. We as the audience are given no reason to care about any of the characters or even see them as human. The only danger or drama that our hero faces is "I used to get bullied" and "now some people that work for me might be in some danger." But it never has any effect on our hero. It only mildly inconveniences him.
