Pick me up! A story you must read

Pick me up is based on a web novel with the same name and which manages to adapt mostly well. A story that although it may seem simple, is full of mysteries, adventures, difficulties to overcome, sad moments, despair and joy (I know this because although the manhwa is not finished the novel is).

The main character Han is one of the most "human" characters that I have seen better represented in any manhwa, with a representation of an adult mentality in my opinion very well achieved, some people will confuse him as an EDGY character and I ... think they can not be more wrong. It is a character that is not easy to "read between the lines" because little by little he is showing how he is, he is not a character with a past in which he has lived through an ordeal and is looking for revenge. No, his principles are different and the desperation that he and his companions suffer in order to survive every day is what gives emotion to this story and makes the characters be the way they are and act the way they have to.

The world in which they live is not an easy world full of roses, NO! It is a cruel world in which the weak die either by the high difficulty fights carried out in the tower or by the care of not being synthesized by their master. A world that brings out the best and the worst of each person that arrives and that only the most capable to adapt to the situation they are in are the ones that have the best chance to survive.

Pick me up! Una obra que debes leer

Pick me up esta basada en una web novela con el mismo nombre y el cual logra adaptar en su gran mayoria bien. Una historia que aunque pueda parecer simple, esta lleno de misterios, aventuras, dificultades a superar, momentos tristes, de desesperación y de alegría (esto lo se porque aunque el manhwa no este finalizado la novela si lo esta).

El personaje principal Han es uno de los personajes mas "humanos" que he visto mejor representado en algun manhwa, con representación de una mentalidad adulta en mi parecer muy bien lograda, algunos personas lo confundirán como un personaje EDGY y creo que no pueden estar mas equivocados. Es un personaje que no es facil "leer entre lineas" ya que poco a poco el va mostrando como es, no es personaje con un pasado en el que haya vivido por un calvario y anda en busca de venganza. No, sus principios son otros y la desesperación que sufren tanto el como sus compañeros en poder sobrevivir cada dia es lo que le da emocion a esta historia y hace que los personajes sean como son y actué de la forma que tienen que hacerlo.

El mundo en el que viven no es un mundo facil y lleno de rosas, NO!! es un mundo cruel en el que el débil muere ya sea por las luchas de alta dificultad llevadas a cabo en la torre o por el cuidado de no ser sintetizados por su maestro. Un mundo que saca lo mejor y lo peor de cada persona que llega y que solo los mas capaces a adaptarse a la situación en la que están son los que mas chance de sobrevivir tienen.

Sin duda una de mis historias favoritas que recomendaría leer a cualquiera (tanto manhwa como WN) al menos que no te gusten las historias serias y con un desarrollo lleno de misterios.

Reviewer Rating 10/10
One of the top-tier Manhwa I have read so far. Another great read by red-ice studio artists.
Do you love playing RPG games and wish there was a manhwa like that OR Have you read Omniscient Reader and wished for a similar manhwa is different setting, this is what you are looking for.

This is a unique story you might have never read so far, ever wondered, what if you were a character in a RPG game how would that life will be?
MC enters a RPG game, in the game if you die in a campaign/dungeon fight you are dead for real, the ... grind MC does to become strong, grind he does to make othr people strong, the near-death situation MC & his team face, the death flags, the thriller & suspence make it really bingeable.

You should definitely read this if you are looking for
• A manhwa where MC is not OP & donesn't have the cheats like the MC's you see in all other manhwas
• A manhwa full of suspence, thrills, near death situations, death flags, etc...
• Great artwork with insanely good fights
• Something which will let you binge for hours
• A RPG world
• A manhwa similar to Omniscient Reader

Isel best girl !!

The basic premise of the story is the main character gets summoned as hero in a Gacha game he's a top player of, where he's offered limited freedom outside of combat encounters although the MC specifically can make suggestions to the player. It's a very unique story where the MC not only has to progress like any other RPG Manhwa, but has to manage the community of heroes while subtly guiding the player to success without being too suspicious.

Pick Me Up! focuses much more on the party dynamics than other Manhwa because of the party-oriented nature of the Gacha game genre, it does a great ... job of getting you invested in every main character's progression and success, something that RPG Manhwa typically have trouble with as the overpowered MC overshadow the rest of the cast, turning other characters into cheerleaders on the sideline. We know the MC is probably safe despite not being that overpowered because of his special role in the story, so he can never fail a mission without dying (and the story ending or shifting completely) but the author is still great at coming up with scenarios for the different levels, and writing out an interesting plotline where they barely eek out a victory.

The story does a great job of portraying a sense of desperation and urgency but the repeated use of this theme does drag on during the combat encounters a bit too much IMO, would like to see a bit more variety in how they can challenge the characters rather than run out a timer. Paradoxically, as they focus more on characters they do seem to become safer which lowers the stakes a bit, but it's an easily resolvable issue so it's not that big of a deal.

Overall, Pick Me Up! has a lot of interesting concepts and does a great job portraying the dynamics of the characters' community, the writing is very solid so far, and I'm excited to see where the author takes the story.
