This takes way too much from other shounen manga.

As far as now, it's mainly Dragon Ball (we have Son Goku, Bulma, Krillin and Muten) with a Hunter x Hunter twist (exam, starts on a ship, is life-threatening, it begins when the participants aren't even aware, also the giga-hero is the main character's dad) and some Dragon Dai thrown in (info boxes like in-depth info of stuff of the world:here, metals, there, equip and spells).

It needs to find its own identity as soon as possible, I'm quickly losing faith.

Regardless, I am enjoying this.

I read so many Seinen's with hard storyline's 9That I enjoy), and some gripping romance stories, this is a nice way to read something less crowded with information and more .. fun.

I will most likely stick will this until the end now.

This manga is pretty "meh". It could have been good, but it's just a mishmash of different shonen manga. According to Weekly Shonen Jump rankings it's not doing very good and if Bakuman's taught me anything about the manga industry, I bet it'll get canned in a month or two.

EDIT: But I'll stick with it because I actually do enjoy cliche predictable shonen...

Don't forget 666-Satan's "dropping out of the airship"

I agree with Shyster. I like clichés, just as long as the story isn't dumb. I'll give it time.

I haven't read 666-Satan yet.
Anyway, I'll keep reading because it's fun, just as shounen should be. But from reading chapter 1 and 2 I was hoping for something a little more original. We'll see how it goes on. :)

I have hope in this actually, Once more important battles take place and an actual antagonist appears, things me become more appealing.

The Minea exam should be fun, but I am looking forward to their adventures exploring the world, shounen cliché worlds are usually quite interesting and the different types of ore available may add an extra twist to what villages and towns may be like.

So, I will also stick by this as others have said, Its nice a cliché

This was actually fun to read, despite the cliché shounen plot I'm already liking this~

well let the test begin- all you have to do is survive a couple thousand foot drop
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures
