Knight Under My Heart is a slow-burning Manhwa, with that being said here is my review:

I personally loved this Manhwa, the slow storytelling really allowed the world and characters to develop. The main character and the events that transpire are really well thought out, with twists and turns and even betrayals. Although the read is short, if you are like me, you will be wanting more while also being satisfied with what you have and then some. The characters can go through a deep change and sides will be shown of others no one expected.

Here is where things will take a negative turn: My review ... is a 10/10, yes but it felt like those who didn't like slow burns stayed til the end and were just never satisfied, I saw lots of negative comments towards the story, most missing the whole point of it and disliking the read for what it wasn't. I feel as if all of that negativity got to the author and they stopped, despite all of the positive comments. There is a large cliffhanger and as much as I hope and want this to come back and continue the amazing story that was told, it may not.

Knight Under My Heart is a Manhwa about the main character being invited to test a new VR-MMORPG and ends up being trapped inside the game due to the devs being evil freaks and experimenting - or rather torturing newcomers. You can't get out unless you beat the area you're being simulated - which is, in this case, a battlefield where the main character is at the front lines. Being thrown into this new enviroment he finds himself dying countless of times being stuck at an endless loop.

The developers want him to despair and beg for them to make him leave, but he does the ... opposite. He learns to fight and adapts, no matter how often he resets.

It's pacing is extremely slow but that's what makes it a good read. You're constantly kept on edge to see what happens next.
And since I believe this is the main part of the story, it makes sense for it to be slow.

Overall, read it. If don't like it - fine.

Lots of build-up for not much reward. I feel as though I kinda wasted my time on this one. I didn't notice how short it was so maybe that was on me for expecting more out of it. The beginning and the ending felt too cheesy to me where I was actively cringing but that could also be attributed to the fact that I just couldn't get invested until about the middle of the story. The reactions weren't too realistic.

The action was very hard to follow. I didn't understand what was going on 50% of the time until there was dialogue explaining what happened. ... The second character was never flushed out and made their inclusion feel unnecessary to the whole story except to prove a little morsel of explanation to the MC.

I don't think it was worth it to read this one. It feels like it was made just to add to the list of manhwa of this genre and call it a day. If you just want to get your hands on anything of this genre then you might enjoy this one.
