I am honored to be able to leave a review for "The Gamer" after reading the very last chapter a few hours ago.
As many may know, this is one of the very first Manhwa's people were exposed too a long time ago. Manhwa's were a relatively new concept years ago, and "The Gamer" took the genre by storm.
It set the example of having:

long fully colored panels
detailed speech bubbles
drawings that span impressive lengths
an ever-evolving story
and so on

Preliminary (42/510 eps)

First reader here, I lost interest around chapter 237 (season 4, episode 42). I really tried to read through it as, like others, I was one of the first readers along with Tower of God, Noblesse and God of Highschool (Also Girls of The Wild!). The nostalgia is the only reason I kept reading, but I really couldn't bring myself to do it anymore as the plot was non-existent, the MC is super lazy and it just wasn't The Gamer anymore. I might download the next 10 episodes to see if it gets good but my hopes are low. Surprised it's still going.
