Surviving The Game as a Barbarian

I'd actually give it a "SS" rating buh some sites gave this series a "HOT" rating instead

Well then. Been hearing good stuff about this one. For once you goblins weren't totally wrong. 'Tis a day to be remembered, fo sho. Won't happen again, I trust. Shouldn't. 

What are we dealing with? Action. Duh. But media transmigration action. Technically, it has gates. Technically, it is related to ORV, Solo Levelling, et milibus similia.

So here's the thing. Practically, this isn't a system shonen. I'll try to explain, since it's complicated. A system shonen has actually a complex main character, in the sense that MC is both a person AND his system. The character grows, and so does his system. They are one and the same. 

Not here. Bjorn, Son of Jandel, blessed be his oily abs, is the character. He has no access to his system. He has HIS BUILD, sure. His choices. But he doesn't see the numbers. He only has what he remembers. 

Because the system is with the Dungeon Master. Yeeeeeeeeeees, you understand. This is not a videogame system manga, this is a manga reproduction of A FÚCKING DND RUN! If the others are Sword Art Online, this is the gnarliest adaptation of a Dungeons and Dragons Podcast ever conceived. 

In that, it is perfect. Balanced, with ironclad rules. An immaculate power system, with great ability acquisition and steady, sensible growth. Serving strong action scenes. It lacks that feel of control and OPness, but the interesting adventures suffice. 

As for the technical, the art is very good. Design is a bit cartoony, but I love the Barb thicc. In all the right places... Characterization? It's good actually. When they are on screen, they are well understandable. MC is well written, overall.

But this is a harem. Screen time is rare, often squabbled on "necessary" harem dynamics. Hence, as is tradition, it starves the side cast of depth and imposes superficiality. 

A 9 on the Ivern Scale™️. Honestly, cannot understand WHY they went this way for the relationship dynamics. No need, really.

This will be the first time i write a review without reaching the end/last chapter. I'm at chapter 31 rn.
The manhwa is awesome so far. Great story, decent explanations and world building, beautiful art and long chapters.
BUT !!!
Read this on a different site, i suggest asurascans. This site has some chapters from demon-something translation site that only put like 4 panels in the chapter and then tells you to go to their site to read the rest. I had to change the site like 3-4 times already so i can read the actual full chapter instead of some 4 panels.
10/10 for the manhwa so far
2/10 for reading it on this site.
The rating is low for this reason.

Update: I finished the first season. Awesome manhwa. I look forward to season 2. You should definitely read this one. Ofc... ON A DIFFERENT SITE. Unless you wanna read half chapters because of those manga demons and the people here who allows them to upload half chapters.

Pre co art kinda mid tho

Love it a manwha where the mc have to work for what he get and isn't op as fu** and the story is nice

It's better than most manhwas ..

Fun Read

loved it

I like it so much. Not your typical rpg plot, very interesting.

Need more of these types of manga to read. --sugesstions please.

A good story

An very good take on the another world genre with interesting lore, strength growth, and action(the novel is good too)

Discovery gang from webtoon 😂✊

its a decent read

Liked it,
It will be even good if chapter released faster .

Refreshing and mature isekai story that can be interesting if you don't want a another cheat of a protogonist story which collects new members for his harem but is clueless about their emotions. This one is clueless too but in another more fun way. Its hard to describe but protogonist is more about buissness kind of relationship than friendship or love which is interesting to see in this type of story. Its like character from Berserk was possesed by japaneese salaryman gamer otaku. I really like it

This is honestly really good.

THE BEST

this is so good wtf

Trust me this manhwa is good & the art is absolutely a chief kiss 💋
