some moments of greatness sprinkled among the mediocrity and downright garbage. That's perhaps the best description of I can offer of Overgeared as of ch 1155. I've contemplated dropping the novel around 20~ times give or take, but I stuck with it. It's definitely a fun experience; there's a decent amount of humor, some epic moments, and it's probably the best you're gonna get of MMORPG-like novels at the moment. However, that isn't exactly praise of the highest order. I didn't mind Grid's character as some other readers had, be that before his transformation or after. What bothered me, however, was the transformation itself -- it completely abandons the concept of show-don't-tell, since every other chapter either some side character or the author himself through omniscient perspective will clamor about how much Grid has changed. It always pulled me right out of the story because it felt erroneously cheap; after all, the point of character develo...

Heh... Yeah... So, let's get started on this review. If you're looking for a novel with horrible romance, bromance, asspulls, plot holes, characters and general view on women (along with a lot of other things), but fast pace on the revenge and pretty much bloodshed along with a retardedly reckless MC with a lot of hypocrisy and double morals that manages to cause everyone he walks by to want to kill him as if he had used an entire can of axe on himself (only to get killed shortly thereafter after a nonsensical and illogical development), then you've come to the right place. This novel... isn't a good one. Giving it a 2/5 or 2.5/5 is already me being very generous. I would've given it a 1/5 if it didn't manage to somehow keep me reading for so many chapters despite being so horrible. It's pretty scary how this novel is a rollercoaster of ups and downs, sometimes it's pretty interesting and makes you want to click the next chapter, sometimes it makes you w...

I came to this novel after reading its manhwa adaptation. I love the manhwa... but reading it until the end of the novel, there were a few points wherein I was disappointed. Still, the manhwa is cool. What reasons to like 1. The MC - now I know that there are some who don’t like the MC, but I like how his character was developed. Since I didn’t start to read the beginning through this novel but through the manhwa, I definitely loved how the MC’s courage was developed. The account of what happened before he acquired his special levelling powers; I felt goosebumps while reading that part, honestly. I was able to embrace and sympathise with his fears at the beginning to the point wherein I celebrated when he faced his fears and overcame. Also, I appreciate that his personality changed the moment he grew stronger. Somehow, because of the betrayal he experienced at the beginning, his naivety was gone. Some might say that he is ruthless, but for me, I say that it was all because of what he w...

This novel started off very, very similar to every other damn novel with the same premise that I almost drop it within the first few chapters. Memories of MC or MC being sent back in time after an "end-of-the-world" event for the human faction and this time around he/she is not going to mess up. Almost every freaking' time the story structure would be something about MC encountering an event, access his memories or whatever and voila MC saves the day, repeat. BUT!!! this novel didn't do that! None of that BS accessing memory stuff this time around and thank god for it. It is so much better to discover the world alongside the MC. Man, when Seol (Main Character) exits the neutral zone and enters the world of Paradise for the first time not knowing what to expect. I'm all like I feel ya, I feel ya. It is damn refreshing to see a world unveil itself naturally instead of the old' samey main character who gives the reader an exposition of "oh I remember this, b...
