This manhwa is pretty good.
It's got good characters, plot, action, art, world building, plot twists, etc.

One character gets introduced and I was like "he better not be some final boss" -> but I was just straight up not giving this manhwa enough credit.
Every now and then, I think it's going to fall into some stupid trope, but it doesn't.

If you're gonna scroll down, be wary of a comment that starts off with the emphasis on the fanservice (which really isn't as bad as he makes it out to be) -> but then ends with heavy spoilers.

If you're wondering, this was obviously not making the cut, so it was clearly axed. It kinda gets the concept rolling and then just ends. It's less "completed" and more "canceled."

tl;dr: Mr. Main Character and his classmates all get isekai'd. They all got combat related powers and are over the moon with how they're all amazing... except Mr. Main Character who has a utility skill that deals with processing items/loot from monsters. Anyone with half a braincell would be like "well, a utility ability is important" but not these jerks, so they kick him out, where he meets up with another group who are like "uh yeah, a utility ability is important in a group," so he joins them. Turns out, Mr. Main Character's ability is actually more amazing than anyone though; maybe world-class?

And it ends.
You can imagine the rest of the isekai story all on your own - or just say "rocks fall and everyone dies" and move on.

Yeah... the most upvoted comment here is correct. It was correct 2 years ago and it still is. If anything, it is getting worse. This problem is amplified even further if you live in the USA.

The correct thing to do here is to have an audio recorder with you, record everything he said -> and go be a whistleblower. You're just one dude who can be ignored because of a "he said, she said" scenario; but if you take a recording of what he just said, then it is just "he said this." There is far more power in this option.
You can do a follow-up interview as a whistleblower while asking for your identity to be protected - perhaps stage a "live session" (where your identity is hidden) record the interview and it plays while you're at work so you have an alibi of sorts. Keep in mind: some deniability is far better than zero deniability.

Oh the pain... She got him completely wrong while stating that she won't ever get him wrong.

But, to be fair, this is what you get when you act like a tsundere. It's a garbage personality trait; get rid of it and just be honest.

I like how all the comments are hating on her. I agree with them as she simply decided "you're worthless, go die" which... bruh, he has a point. You cannot completely refute his argument which is why you pulled this nonsense.

His best bet is to show up with flowers, an apology and to just tell her the truth. She has to make the decision to believe him or not -> and another decision if she wants to give him a second chance.

That aside,
I want to point out this adorable chibi

I didn't properly read this but I did notice that it was completed. I do this thing for manga like this -> where I read the first chapter or two -> aaaaaaand then skip to the end.
This manga actually does the thing (trying to avoid spoilers) and does it in 24 chapters! Unlike a certain other manga (something something nightwalkers) with over 200 chapters and miserably fails.

Again, what? This sounds like a fake excuse someone made up -> and you, somehow, decided to believe it.

Breaking down the details on these three examples: "Grid" is an English word. So is "Eternal." There is no discussion to be had here.

Meanwhile neither Zibal nor Jibal are English words - but at least Zibal exists as a name for a brand (also a company) -> while Jibal is plural for Jabal which is Arabic for mountain. So if there is a discussion to be had, the conclusion is that "Zibal" is the correct option.

This is close to completion. It just very rarely updates which is a pain...

Ah yes, blame the would-be victim for avoiding his fate. If she succeeded, Mr. Main Character would effectively be dead (maybe he'd escape with the system's help) and just be a puppet to her... and you blame him and his sect for her condition?
This is like a killer failing to kill their target because their target disabled their weapon -> then the killer broke their legs right after failing -> ended up bedridden -> and now the killer is blaming the victim "grrrr, if only you just let me kill you!"

Simply put, victim blaming sucks and frankly, anyone who does it is either evil, stupid, or both. I say this about both reality and in fiction.
I dunno how this manhua will evolve from here - as I assume that Xie Yan will get to a point where he's stronger than all these gits -> will he just kill them all to take petty revenge? The name of this manhua DOES imply that happening.

What's about the words "Grid," Eternal" or "Zibal" is hard to read...?

If anyone is wondering, the entire Overgeared novel is complete at 2059 chapters. It recently finished around a month or so ago.

I might be biased as I've read the novel, but it is better than the manhwa.

If I had to pin one reason, it would be because the translations are awful. Oh sure, let's just ignore one of the best Korean-to-English translators and their decisions for stuff -> and make stuff up.
Not just the "Grid -> Greed" issue - which was directly addressed by the author, fun fact (literally one atop one chapter, he talks about how Grid's name can also be "Greed")
but also Eternal Kingdom - which is backed up with characters (NPCs) talking about how the kingdom won't fall as its true to its namesake -> but that doesn't work in the manhwa as they renamed it to... "Etnal" ...? what?
Zibal to Jibal makes no sense either.
and etc etc

If I had to pin down a second reason: updates aren't consistent. At its slowest, the novel updated three or four times a week. If it is true that different groups are competing to translate this with better quality, then we'd have more than two: one MTL utter garbage and a this one with half-decent results.

I saw a translation for this chapter where the name is "Rollang." If you listen carefully in the Library of Ruina, the Korean VAs say "Rollang" pretty often... it's just the way they happen to say the name. I dunno why exactly.

Well... first of all, congratz to the series ending. It's been a wild ride.

Second, absolutely S tier ending with that reveal. Better than the ending that "A Returner's Magic Should Be Special" had.
No, we do not need an explanation of how Overpowered his parents were. If anything, that would weaken the impact that we just had. Use your imagination and fill in the details using your knowledge from playing games.
