Preliminary (48/? chp)
"Pick Me Up!" puts a unique twist on the whole isekai/mmorpg genre with real stakes and a captivating mystery.

Overall - 8.5/10

First of all, it is set in an incredibly brutal world, where the mc must struggle to survive each floor that he climbs, with comrades who may or may not survive. Whilst of course there are core characters, I have no doubt that many of them will be in the dirt by the end of the series.

Secondly, the mystery behind the mc's reason for being sucked into the game is fascinating, and is only accentuated further each episode. Instead of bsing the mc's reason for being ultra strong, we see his undying will to survive and while he is given a little boost in the beginning, in no way does that make him op at all. His power is of his own effort, and it's incredibly refreshing.
I can only compare it to something like a combination of: AOT, TOG, and L.A.G. (lots of acronyms, I know).

Lastly, the development of characters is quite interesting, especially the side characters who seem to be a lot more dynamic as compared to the mc. I'd love to see how he grows, because as of now he is simply a cold and calculated mastermind, of which we've seen the archetype of a million times before.

Overall, this has the potential to become one of the greatest manhwa of all time, though with 48 chapters out right now, only time will tell.

Signing off, HeyMyHead
