We're at Chapter 123 here:
https://mangakatana.com/manga/onepunch-man-one.623/c123
This manga is taking the scenic route compared to the original comic.

tl;dr: the Neo Hero Organization forces their victims into becoming cyborgs, whether they want to or not. See: Metal Bat

Yeah... everyone saw that coming. You're a walking piece of garbage that only cares about power and taking control. Your preaching is so stupid because even if you got what you're wishing for, we all know that you wouldn't bow down to Kuro. You'd use him and then dispose of him when you get what you want.

>>he sends Dark

Last I checked, he doesn't have his powers from the first two seasons... Did the author sneak in and give him his regression powers? Properly? As in "as long as I think I can win, I'll just revive instantly" powers?

He starts knitting underwear eeeeeeverywhere when he has a moment of downtime. Yes, it weirds everyone out.

At one point, Grid earns a dragon's favor and gets a fancy reward: a golden knitting pin thing that gives him double proficiency increases so he can more quickly master making underwear! lol

Like, is the Dokja we know taking over the original character of "Dokja" in all other timelines? or some something? Or what?

Maybe... and I randomly thought about this with no evidence: the author of the novel he read is Dokja himself. Random theory, I know.

Grid ends up making so much underwear that he does eventually master the skill and it combines with his blacksmithing to rank up.

It's not about caring. It's about using a reason to validate your actions. Even if you ignore other people, you do need to motivate yourself, so self-validation is important.

Other people's assumptions about reality are just that: assumptions. They never heard of the saying: "do not assume or you'll make an ass out of u and me."

This is like Overgeared; as in "the interesting stuff takes place in some futuristic VRMMORPG (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Gobblygoop) that's waaaaaaay too popular such that if you're a top player, you'll make tons of money and stuff."

Mr. Main Character is a standard meathead muscle-building gym bro. His mom wants him to be a good college student and his dad wants him to "be a fighter" whatever that means. Okay, but what does he want? He wants to open a flower shop. Oh, and he is allergic to flowers. He started playing under the premise of "I can enjoy flowers in the game and avoid allergies! I can open my dream flower shop!"

Honestly, I enjoyed the start of this manhwa and I appreciated how a minor thing can grow out into such incredible intrigue -> and h ow Mr. Main Character absolutely does not care and just wants his flower shop. It is rare for a Mr. Main Character in this genre to simply care very little about the world and the NPCs in the world. Usually, they treat NPCs like normal humans and badabing badaboom they get roped into major events and big deals thanks to their kindness. Not this guy; and to top it off: he also does NOT care about other players either. Good news: almost no other players exist. They exist the moment they are relevant and most of them cease to exist once that's over.

Eventually, he makes his flower shop and instead of settling down and enjoying himself, he CONSTANTLY gets bothered by others to do stuff. This is where the overall quality of the manhwa falls off a cliff: for a guy who only cares about the flower shop and absolutely doesn't care about everything else, he nonstop goes out of his way to care about stuff and the initial focus on the flower shop is just... whatever.

You'd imagine that there is a pretty big emphasis on the flower shop and the nuances, but as it is building up, details start getting omitted and it just poofs away overall. :\\
There is an overarching plot that does get resolved by the end of the manhwa - and season 2 is MUCH shorter than season 1, so it was rushed, but probably not axed... honestly, I was happy it was over. Season 1 felt sooooooo drawn out and Season 2 is very much to-the-point.

Finally, this is missing an "Overpowered MC" tag and the "Comedy" tag needs to be highlighted. It's pretty silly with a metric ton of "they talked themselves into it" to favor the MC and MC is effortlessly stronk -> where battles are literally "the author said MC wins" and so he does. Early on, there is an attempted subversion featuring MC is strong IRL and a natural fighter using Dempsey Roll and stuff, but it is REALLY short lived.

In the end, it's a solid-enough, but overall subpar VRMMORPG manhwa that I didn't really enjoy it. It could just be a personal problem.

I randomly came across this... it feels like a decade since I last saw/read it, so keep that in mind.

This comedy manhwa is very silly but at least it uses it's silliness to push the plot forward instead of refusing to advance the script. It's no Bobobobobo, but it does keep comedy in the forefront for most of the time. Through the comedy, everything happens and it never loses a sense of "weirdness" and always operates with some nonsense.

What do I mean by that? Examples: one acronym used is "PERV" and another one is "PNIS." I don't remember the details, so don't ask me.

Is it worth reading? Seeing how this manhwa probably ended (it's been a loooooooong time) yet no one is translating it, you might be discouraged, especially if you dislike the idea of comedy being the main highlight. Honestly, if it doesn't sound like your jam, then just move along to something else. There is nothing here that would qualify for such praise as "you must read this or you'll never experience it."

If you are in the mood for cheap laughs, silly nonsense and being left off on a cliffhanger - unless you're some rich person willing to commission a translation for us all lol -> then yeah, I guess I can hit you a "feel free to read this" recommendation.

Though, I think he'll hold him hostage to ensure that the sect master's report to the double dragon manor is something irrelevant.
