6.5/10


At first, the manwha seemed interesting, with a world of possibilities of how the author can develop the setting and plot. However, besides for the details told in the opening chapters, not much of the world is explained besides for an almighty being called Zeus.

There’s no further explanation on why the VR world is so very important that society’s people depend on it. No transactions, no power-ups, nor any absurdly all-curing potion. Despite that, their society is obsessed with the game. Moving on from the world itself, the character is all silly.

I didn’t expect much from a Vr-centered story’s characters, and I didn’t get much. ... Along with the obvious gag characters, each of them are replaceable and boring. As for the art, it’s the same as a run-of-the-mill game manwha; there’s nothing flashy.

The manwha had potential, but ultimately fell into one of the many gag VR tropes with nothing more than “humor.”

PS: I’m pretty sure the only reason the being Zeus was mentioned was to create the game as the main focus and to fill up the plot holes and stupidity at times. And for the last time, it’s not a harem. God.

This series is one of my favorites as it places a new perspective on defining "evil."
The setting itself is unique, not only did the game world take over the original world, there was even a time skip of hundreds of years.

I was blown away that much time passed, usually, it would be very difficult to work with a story of such a large gap.
Even more impressive, the main characters treat the game like a game, dying in the game comes with a typical revive, and so on.

What pulled me was revealing a new perspective of being evil.
What can appear to be good for the people ... can be evil if it's forceful and ignorant.
Evil could be good IF it embraces logical fair reasons to act out against the good.

It's sort of difficult to explain it in words, so I urge new readers to read for at least 25-30 chapters to get a feel for what I mean.
