Overgeared (WN KR)

Honestly were they? I've been following it for two or three years, this was my first novel and book in my life. I had never been interested in reading until then. It is a huge honor and blessing to reach the end of this story. Congratulations to everyone who arrived here. Huge from Brazil, God bless you all!

This is actually my first novel, and it's already been 3 years since I started this, the first thing that I like about this novel is the character development of all the character not only the mc but also the other characters.

One of the best Korean translated LN out there. I have read quite a few Korean translated LN and Overgeared stands at the top in terms of quality and enjoyment.

Honestly one of the best LNs out there right now. Character development, good arcs , decent side characters , length of novel wise it’s all good.

Overgeared is a really great story that stays consistent over all 2000 chapters. From a worthless bum, to a money grubbing b*st*rd blacksmith, to a king, to becoming a God. Along the way, he had overcome debt, his own ineptitude with people, his idiocy, his greed. In overcoming himself, he became much, much stronger. Even with that, he still strives to be better. Comedy, Combat, Romance, every single thing this novel does, is done well. I would say rather than being upset about the update, it's something to be happy about. Rather than seeing the end of the novel, with still unresolved plot threads, and unsatisfactory potential so far unseen, I think it would be amazing to see this novel go another 2000 chapters.

The novel is good with solid world building, great side characters, and well thought out arcs. There is just two issues that the writing suffers from. The first thing is that the author has this bad habit of grossly overexplaining the most random details. For instance in one chapter they state that a character shrugged off someones hand, and that should have been it, but instead the author decided to write three more sentences after that explaining why the character could shrug off the hand. Like what? Why? The other issue is that this author has a fantastic ability to undermine the main characters intelligence at any chance given. By chapter 500 the author has stated how much of and *d**t Grid is and how much he has "grown" in the intelligence department at least 50 times. This novel is great for people who are caught up or are simply reading it a few chapters at a time, but it is really easy to get burnt out simply because the authors writing style is not suited for binge reading.

Idk what author smoke but I want some of that too, it was all fun and games until we reached the point in story where it was nearing the end (2-3 bosses remaining, chapter 1950) then author smoked some bad pot and decided to turn this fantasy virtual reality novel into scifi cultivation novel with tons of new concepts and systems aimed solely to somewhat put mc further from end game so he can stretch it for few hundred more chapters with excuse of "exploring new content" possibly like 50 chapters from end of novel

The novel should have ended after he cleansed the hell or when he became Only One Grid and met the goddess, but instead here we are in another cultivation story; they literally changed genre midway from fantasy MMo to cultivation one.

I expected something like lotm or orv writing from this but I found op Mc getting all the girls cliche brain dead story like why it's rank so high is beyond me

would give it 5 stars, till chapter 1952, regardless of the weak earlier chapters. He started as a nobody who was an egoist and transformed into an overall good person, Some sidecharactes are not so likeable but the story building is great to overcome these flaws. But near the ending the author drags the story with some cultivation arc, which is boring and doesn't really fit in. . . thinking about dropping it because of it
