I love this manga. Not for the typical reasons like revenge p8rn or action, but because of the character development the mc undergoes.
It’s hard to put in words, but he’s a lowlife prior to the game, undeserving of much pity, but the author manages to slowly make the mc improve his self-of-being. Because the mc worked his @ss to become a valuable member of society, he resonates easily with relatability and attachment.
What makes most of this manga is the mc’s progression, while the characters inside the game he’s playing are also realistic, undergoing their own struggles.
The manga has a good balance of action/suspense, real-world or not, but it mainly emphasizes on the character, creating a sense of realism. I’d give it a shot regardless if you don’t prefer these type of stories.
