Became shit later on  
by Kookiezi

Rating: 5.0  / 10.0

It became shit after chapter 100, he's no longer pure evil and became a comedic villain. He's also not smart or even strong (there's like 100 people stronger than him, and he it it himself), but he is cunning. There's also 0 romance or harem. It's just not worth it if you're looking for a calculative villain type MC, cause this guy power is literally luck/plot armor

“This does put a smile in my face.” I got a good laugh on how insane mc is.

I don’t get it

Rating: N/A

I’m only two chapters in and it hasn’t grasped my attention so far. The mc’s personality seems very flat from chapter one. We know nothing about him so i’m not really interested to follow his journey. The story didn’t even set up good “let’s sprinkle info about him as the story progresses” characterization. Because from the first chapter, there’s nothing to grasp from the mc. Aside from his name and a few s of him posing unnecessarily. Issa drop for me dawg.

Starts well, but then it gets boring

I read all the way to chapter 85, but no good character development... there are issues with pacing, and the MC isn't as interesting anymore.

He is truly evil.. and ruthless. I'm not really that much of a pure evil fan though, so.. if you like evil villains, you might want to try this, I guess?

I read till 42 chapters.

Fun spin

Every bleeping Manhwa these days is “I’m in an MMORPG!” plus some twist.

This time the twist is “I’m in an MMORPG!” + Death Note.

Evil for sake of evil  
by CelicaSylphil

Rating: 7.0  / 10.0

At time of review, chapter 29 read
the MC is lacking in talent compared to the 'top rankers' and thus decides to make up for it by being extremely selfish.

To get stats and even a slight tactical advantage, he's fine with killing. He'll act innocent or even play along. Try to divide and prevent the other players from reaching a peaceful conclusion etc etc.

While this much is true perhaps there were other ways the MC could have had the same outcome but without deaths and relying on pure trickery.

His existence is actually okay-ish inside the world itself. It's not like humans have to cooperate to beat it all. The gods organizing said 'game' have their own goals and thus there is a place for his character in said game world.

An entertaining read as long as you don't overthink it

What is happening  
by Jenkai

Rating: N/A

Kind of random and unsatisfying. The main character's motivations aren't clear and the game he's stuck in doesn't seem to have any clear rules. Is he playing to survive? To be the strongest? What's the point

No character development. We don't really get to know who the main is (besides he's always been antisocial, he just had to hide it IRL before the game) There's a side character that has more interesting back story than him

I really like the concept and wish it were fleshed out better. The first chapter got me pretty excited for more, but dropped it
