So I really like this isekai... I did read 100 chapters twice after all.
I'm gonna try to sell you this manhwa which deserves a read if you're fond of the genre.

As with typical korean fashion, our protagonist is overpowered. But it's not a clone of some characters you might be thinking of if you're already familiar with other popular korean works. Forget about the self composed hero and a trendy haircut that has no feelings besides protecting his friends and beating the bad guys.

We've got ourselves someone that has truly been through a special kind of hell.

Either way, because ... everything is easy when you're stronger than everyone else, pacing is important, and I don't think this isekai really misses the mark here. It doesn't take long for the reader to be introduced to the greater forces that make up this fantasy world. And boy is it grand. You just can't wait to see our korean Conan matched up against other strong fighters and you know... just enjoy the show. The drawings are gorgeous, and it's supported by great combats that are often fought on an epic scale.

What I particularly adore about this isekai, is the charisma that emanates from various characters, and it's not always quite clear whether they are friend or foe. Everyone has their own agenda... both players and NPCs.

When it comes to comedy, it's surprisingly alright. Honestly things kinda get pretty dark with some isekai but this one always manages to lighten the mood thanks to the main characters' chemistry.

To conclude, Latna Saga hasn't reinvented the wheel among the plethora of isekais that deal with a MMORPG setting, but where it truly shines is that it keeps things simple while still delivering an entertaining story that keeps the reader waiting for more.

A balanced isekai, and I wouldn't be surprised one bit if it gets adapted someday.

Lazy people`s review

SUMMARY:
a Masterpiece. (i just hope they will end it well)

DETAILS:
the start of this manhwa was not promising and it pushed me back a bit but fortunately i saw a lot of reviews recommending to stick sith it despite that slowy start. And they were definitly right.
I don´t know why some bullshit manga get animation and masterpieces like this one get ignored. and even when they do an adaptation it´s shit (look at Solo leveling anime). something is wrong with Studios

OVERALL:
... if you like adventure with a good story and a strong characters development you will enjoy it
the Art also is an important criteria for me when reading a manhwa and it was on point

Definitely one of my favorites
PEACE

I'm disappointed that no one is talking about this manwha because of how good and unique it is.

It gave me a different impression than other Isekai genre works, whether Japanese or Korean manga.

The artwork is good. I enjoy the characters, especially Mister Artis (if you know, you know), and I appreciate how the story occasionally takes a dark turn while keeping it simple. I also appreciate the worldbuilding and pacing, particularly how they don't ruin the whole story and maintain a sense of balance compared to other Isekai genre works.

If you are itching to read something really good right now with no bullshit, I recommend ... this because, oh boy, this manwha can get very addicting.

Personally, I wouldn't give it a 10/10 not everything is perfect, and I think it's best to give it a 8/10 for now.

I'm still really bad at English, so if you find any errors, please let me know. I truly want to improve and continue writing reviews.

This is an isekai but one of the better ones is my opinion. The is stupidity op at the start but the more progress you more op enemies will appear like the angels there not the normal angel but they are monster from another dimension it's just that in this world they call them angel also there is no romance for the moment maybe in future.

The story is 7.5 /10 ( maybe 8)

What I found interesting is that the mc is not the only one the get isekaid there where 7 seven billion candidates and the people in this are racist against because some ... of the isekaid people kills people of this place to level up so the mc he's to hides his identity

The art is 10/10 one of the best art in manhwa its so good the I just end up looking the same panel for minutes.

Characters are 6/10 at the start the side characters annoying but at the fairy arc they become better

Story: 8/10. It's unique compared to other op mc manwhas, and although its nothing groundbreaking or anything it is done very well. The worldbuilding is very good after the prison arc (before that its kinda meh imo) and it feels like a proper world with a lot of lore- not just a world which is made for the op character to be op.

Characters: 7/10. The characters personalities might not be super unique- but what really shines is the way that they mesh with the story, and that goes for the backstories as well. The banter is good, whatever romance that is there is done well ... (not a lot of it though) and motivations are clear and easy to get behind. The only reason this is a 7 instead of a 9 is because I felt that most characters were pretty annoying in the beginning (like until prison arc, again) but it gets much better after that.

Art: 10/10. The fights are done in amazing detail, and the backgrounds are very good. As for the characters, all I will say is muscles ;)

Overall its a 9/10 for me, the only thing stopping it from being a 10/10 is that it starts a bit slow, but once you get to the prison arc, get ready cause every arc after that just keeps getting better and better.

As a reader this Isekai Manhwa Genre consider to be unique like any other manhwa or manga with this isekai genre

from starting the story consider to be an Overpowered character but you will start to realize about the world itself and get more interest to the story if you keep reading it enjoy until the current chapter

Character: 8/10
in this story is consider almost well written (it show what kind and backstory focus on the conflict that happen to the character to grow) but those character still make me curious how the grow when the story keep moving on

Story: 7/10
the strory pacing is slow ... and fast pacing base on the location or each citiesthey are going and the activity. The race on the isekai is divide which are deploy by The Demon God diguised as The Goddes bring 7 Billion people to another world call Ratna and call the people who aren't from Ratna name as Otherworlder and Ratna people. The plot itself is thick

Art: 9/10
as this manhwa continuosly upate the art style keep getting better and the fight scene it just feel another level the background art detail is like a painting in detail mode. but it maybe more than just one style

World building: 8/10
in my opinion I can feel the vibe in each cities conflict, atmosphere, and how they fixe the problems

"Cross impact"

I don't read a lot of Manhuas as I just don't enjoy them that much, but I gave this one a try and I was not disappointed. It does what a lot of Manhua isekai's do badly, and that's have an overpowered MC. The MC is overpowered, but he still struggles, both internal and external battles, and is such a fun character and seeing the later chapters develop him is amazing. The side characters are also really great too, as at first, the side characters really don't matter that much, but after the 2nd season I'd say they're all amazing. The concept is really ... interesting in comparison to a lot of other Manhua's i've tried to read, it does generic tropes really well. AND the art is amazing, its easily some of the best art in any Manhua i've read, it's actually really amazing. I'd argue it's art is better than a lot of manga's with amazing art, it's just that good.

Characters: The main character is amazing. I love how they explore his trauma and how it comes back time after time to show just the hell he experienced for 20 years in isolation. It's one of the best parts of the manga, and it's just sad that it isn't explored earlier and we only really see it after the first 100 chapters. Another issue I have with the MC at the start of the manga is how unwilling he is to use any of his actual abilities even when it's obvious he would not be found out for it and overall the beginning just isn't that great. Despite this, The side characters are also really amazing, Atisse, Ephyr, and Kivye, as well as Leonheart are all great characters that play really well with Ryu Hanbin. The only issues that are present with the side characters is that they feel really bare bones, they improve a lot over the chapters but at the start they feel soulless.

Plot: The plot is actually really interesting, which just isn't something that I went into expecting. The way they've set up the villains, the way they've set up the gods and goddesses are all really cool and interesting that I appreciate a lot. The only issue is that the start doesn't explore a lot of the later ideas which I think are some of the most importants, trying not to spoil as much as possible but there's a lot that should have been built on earlier.

An interesting premise that gets very boring and repetitive later.

Story: 5/10
The starting of the story is somewhat unique and did intrigue me enough to keep reading for 50 chapters until I stopped out of annoyance and boredom. The plot keeps repeating and gets stale at around 30 chapters. The lore isn't that well developed at all.

Art: 8/10
Art is great, especially the MUSCLES. The characters are fairly well designed except for a few side characters. The action paneling is great too. The story could use some more vibrant colors and backgrounds.

Character: 4/10
Most of the characters are very blandly written. No substance to make them stand out ... amongst the thousands of other manhwa. The wyvern and the ghost were interesting characters to me, but not interesting enough to keep reading.

Enjoyment: 3/10
I enjoyed the first 20-25 chapters, but after that, I became very annoyed with the story as it kept repeating itself without the plot ever moving towards something. Only recommend it if you can stomach 150 chapters of the same thing.
