Never would've expected this to get a manga from reading the novel lol(did like it just didn't think it was popular). Hopefully it turns out well tho.

Wow

The WN was pretty good, quite a fan of it actually. It's still quite unfortunate that the TL team have some problems IRL causing the translations to stop around a year ago.
Anyways the manga's art was pretty good and it really captured what happened from chapter 1-5 of the WN.

An albino elf with a focus on necromancy and a group of cat girls as her subordinate? Count me in!!!

The cover looks like Eminence in the shadow but it's not, Honestly thought it was a spin off

Seems like it's going to be a good manga. Maybe i should read the novel after exams.

That winged demon girl looks like a certain popular basketball meme

Hoping for the LN to get Translated soon because i am enjoying the WN so far, will leave this series for awhile and come back until it gets a bit more popularity and chapters..

Yeah same, and I also hope they keep the same hardcover for it cause it looks clean as hell

Since there are only positive reviews above and the manga is pretty decent thus far, here's a critical review after reading a few volumes into the novel. Good concept and evil lead, lackluster execution since what you see in the early manga is the whole deal. There's not much seasoning between the sadistic serial killer mentality and overpower. Golden Experience is accessible, consistent without failing or triumphing in any aspect, and sadistic. It has spectacle. There's minimal moral or character complexity. Rare is compellingly cruel and gets excellent designs. Her personality is simple. That's everything. It's boring.

Spoiler: Not plot spoilers but maybe tone spoilers, since these trends are visible near the start and don't change

There's no internal questioning or weight to permanently killing NPCs repeatedly described as seeming perfectly conscious, and portrayed as conscious POVs. The lifelike sensations of player killing are a given. It's a like a violent movie that uses VR as an excuse to pretend it's not sadism, which is probably fine but feels weak and disengenuous to me. Immature even. It's the dealbreaker. On the upside, the only major triggers are genocide and dehumanization. I liked the undead supporting character, you may not.

I like that it's becoming more mainstream to have stories about brutal female combatants, especially villainous ones, so it's not like I resent Golden Experience. It's an easy read considering the subject matter and can pull more fans. I don't recommend it over similar works though.

Imo this is executed like any other manga of this type and it's a shame. Feels like it's rushed, she unlocked a lot of broken skills with only 300 experience. She's gathering powerful monsters really quickly. There's no depth in this for now. The good point tho it's that it's a female lead who isn't cringe, and it's original, I might keep reading it.

It seems power fantasies these days are trying to differentiate themselves by how the MC becomes OP. Honestly, I'd rather have MCs earn their power and watch them grow over time, but those are rare (no pun intended.)
As for this one, the artwork is decent, and the translation is approachable, so I'll keep reading, but it's a 6 out of 10 on the MD scale for me.

 

[Autismonaut]

I find it hilarious how most videogame anime/manga fail to capture the mindsets and attitudes of gamers. While frustrations, anger, and fear are present to some extent, there's always the understanding that it's not something terribly serious or life threatening.

 

[ciwix]

A fun read, though a little quick on the progression.
But can you blame em'? Most manga are called trash for having too slow of a first arc. Overall I'd give it a 7/10, I'd like to wait until at least 20 chapters are out to give a more comprehensive review. d(•.•)b

How has no one made a jojo Joke

 

[zkei]

Her name is quite.... Rare..

 

[Jekyk]

Why in the illustration she looks like demon?

 

[Garent]

I was intrigued by MC's army.
The evil ruler story and how they build their army is a very promising story.

Unfortunately MC built her army way too fast and way too easily.
In a game where a character can get OP fast to the point of unreachable by others, balance can f*ck off and it is very likely a trash game.

Why in the illustration she looks like demon?

Most likely she get to reincarnate into a demon king or something later on.

Can't help but expect an anime out of this
