Introduction to Survival

[MangaDex]

 

[Foeman111]

This protagonist is smart. and I don't mean 'I can calculate the trajectory of a missile in a second' smart. I mean he looks at situations and uses his experience and wisdom to make the best decision, while also having genuine human emotions.

This man thinks.

And the story is written smart too. this isn't some clueless highschooler dropped into a death game surviving off of luck and "determination". this is a vengeful MAN using his knowledge and skills to give himself the best chances will fighting for the win. He has enemies who are like him, enemies who are not as good as him, and enemies who exceed him, all of which make you want to root for him. this is top tier writing.

This is good. Very good. Take Foeman111's and my word for it.

It's hard to call this thing as good, except for the art maybe, and the fact that mc is pretty good at battle royale.. Still, it's too basic of a revenge story, and the mc doesn't even need to think, he just need to play fortnite to reach his goal, the way he plays is pretty interesting to read, occasionally we see him caught in a severe mental breakdown, sometimes he got happy from his small achievements, sometimes we get a backstage view from the 'villain' side, but there's really nothing connecting this mc with the reader.

Hi friend, can you recommend me a title that has a MC/s that connect well to the reader? I want to read "omniscient reader's viewpoint" but it is so mainstream that I am afraid it will bore me and let me down. sorry for bad English.

hmm, orv is, i dont really have the opinion of the manhwa because i never read them aside from the first few chapters, but it should be exciting and full of action perhaps, not to mention it's done by redice which are known to often change some story details of their webtoon to fit the shounen-y genre, i never read the manga but i did finish the novel, it was kinda decent but i find some chapters as slog to go through, depends on your preference you might really like or hate the mc, i personally dislike him because he has so much nonsense inner monologue which makes reading a chore.

You can try the webtoon tho, it being mainstream doesn't automatically mean it's shit, ORV story alone should be some tiers above the likes of Solo Levelling

As for the suggestions, i don't know what i can suggest you, especially the part where it connects with the reader.. and it seems that my comment actually created misunderstanding, this manhwa lacks the established rules at the beginning, most story needs to establish a good suspension of disbelief at first, all we have were just the fact the mc was a rebel, he got busted, the big evil comes to destroy him, and he head to a battle royale.
We do have some glimpse that the world was under some dictatorship regime, and we all know that mc is a stylish fighter.

But what left me in dissatisfaction was the fact that we have no established baseline on how the world should work here, it's as if the solution of all things was to win this battle royale, no question asked.

Why was mc that hopeless for his revenge, how did mc even think that the battle royale was a good idea, does the mc even have a plan after he get in to this battle royale? does he even know where his enemies are? does mc think that he can get a 'revenge pick ticket' if he somehow finishes this battle royale?, does he not think his wish might actually went out the window the moment he enters this strange battle royale game? does the battle royale not enacted by the regime? is it a fair game? how does this strange dystopian world works? and many more questions.

I cant understand the mc's logic, wife dead, go to battle royale game for revenge.
If this series was based on a novel, i might really need to read that, because this series really lacks the foundational information so we can follow mc's logic on doing things.

Now after writing this, i think i can try suggesting you a title, try reading soloist in a cage/ori no naka soloist, it's on mangadex i think.

What a shame, this story is too depressing for my taste.
But I wish the MC the best of luck. I hope all his enemies die horrible deaths.

This is like if Hunger Games was made by someone who was quite literally insane

PUBG the Manhwa.

The start may appear interesting, but it quickly rolls downhill into "dumb plot because drama".
Such as "no time to reload a (semiauto) AR, so INSTEAD run 50 yards and try to charge with a knife" level stupid.

The plot gets pretty bad from the third arc onward. I can't recommend this.

 

[Dick_Balls_And_Balls]

I like this very much, but it's a shame it got cancelled. If anyone has recommendations similar to this it would be greatly appriciated.
