Well, that exchange ended in an unexpectedly wholesome way.

LONG STORY?!

Spoilers about Kraugel and Grid in terms of the ranking leaderboards:
1) Grid will get to number 1 and become the pioneer (the title given to number 1 on the rankings)
2) Being the pioneer, a new quest pops up and it introduces a whole host of new and very important characters
and now we jump like... 1000 chapters in the novel -> 3) Grid leaves the rankings and joins that "whole host of very important characters" -> leaving the number 1 spot empty for someone else
4) that character will obviously be Kraugel

oh, and fun fact: 5) leaving the rankings = people don't know your level -> so when Grid gets past level 1000, no really, everyone else is like level 600ish -> barely anyone knew how strong he was

Dude, spoilers. Typing it out is fine, but give people a heads up and hide it; not everyone will be happy to get spoiler'd.

I'm on the side of "don't go wandering into no man's land."

So like uh... All those stats from the season 2 finale are carried over...? But then how did he get pummeled by those dudes who steal stats from former players...? I'm also confused.

Like, getting 99 stars and proving to the entire country that they're completely wrong -> is epic and all, but I'm a bit lost. An explanation would be nice.

BE EVIL! DO CRIME!

Also yeah, the quality of the translation seems to be a bit off. I'm not complaining but I am agreeing with that detail.

So... do ya'll think he'll get in MORE trouble after he wins this? And have to be bailed out by someone else?

Seeing how those times worked? The strong dictate the weak. And seeing how the average person is weak, if they're told to do something by the strong (like the king, his people, or the guards), they'll have to do it. Human rights aren't "rights" if they can be taken away. In that era, they are taken away, pretty frequently too.

To link it to a real life example: the flat-earth movement that's happening in real life today -> would've just ended within an hour after the morons pushing that agenda get killed.

Ya'll gotta remember: WE KNOW. Them? They don't know. Me? I know. You? You know. They? They have no idea. Us? We know. Them? Not a clue; can't even dream it up; not a chance of an idea; completely clueless. See, we? We know.

What do we know? We know that the idea of "Mr. Main Character walking into that room, killing them all without trying and walking out mostly unharmed" is perfectly possible... and maybe it should happen.

These dudes? They can't even imagine it. They have a sense of what reality is, a defined "common sense." Also, they're going by recent history, which is how weak the demonic cult leader was; unaware of anything recent. This adds to just how far removed Mr. Main Character is from their knowledge.

Yes, it is a trope that keeps popping up, but it isn't a bad trope... it's just overused because Mr. Main Character is OP in so many works that it is accompanied by this very trope.

Well, if you're looking at the comments wondering whether you would enjoy reading this, then you'll learn that the comments keep pointing out how the second half is bad.

To explain: after the first season, this manhwa seemed to be under the threat of being axed. This threat hung over it like the Sword of Damocles and it caused it resulted in a pretty heavy quality loss in both the art and the plot. Chapter 100 should've been just "end of season 2" AND it should've happened around chapter 125 or something.
Importantly: there is no more of Kris getting to completely lose herself over something, which was always a fun highlight of events; no more this:

Sadly, as it is now, season 1 is great. Like 8 or 9 out of 10 - while season 2 is like 3 or 4 our of 10. Be wary of this and enjoy it. I really do think that season 1 is worth reading.

Well, I'm glad the manhwa addressed this detail:
https://i.postimg.cc/T10Ft8bs/i.png


Overall, this manhwa starts off with a pretty fantastic season 1 but falls off. The lingering axing of this manhwa acted like a Sword of Damocles which resulted in it not only being rushed, but also dropping the quality. It's a shame.

1 more chapter... I gotta ask, WHY YOU HORDING POINTS? SPEND THEM

To answer Kaim's question -> he drank the dragon's blood. Did you not read it?

... Sure, but thanks to this chapter, I've just been sitting around rereading "Hero? I quit a long time ago." I forgot just how expedient this manhua is when it comes to setting up new arcs, having a massive action sequence -> and just moving onto a new arc already without much down time.

Man pulled off the Lin Jie pose and won!

(From: Hero? I Quit a Long Time Ago)

This is effectively the Chinese Iteration of Onepunch Man. I do recommend it for the bombastic action sequences, crazy plotlines, decent humor and stuff.
So like uh... 8/10. Pretty good.


If you're worried about the random complaint about time travel, it is actually really simple: Mr. Main Character time travels to an alternative timeline -> fights, wins -> and goes home. It is just used to introduce a new setting for an arc and that's it. This manhua does NOT do that stupid dance of messing around with all that time travel logic or whatever.

The translators maybe not have done a good job at bringing it across, but Magic President is the master of Golden Black Hole. He doesn't know much about the OTHER groups.
