I have plenty of friends who've read GSDW, and all of them said it's really, really, really good. Especially for people who have already read ORV. So I think you should definitely read it!
genuine masterpiece, I'm gonna drag orv into this because I've never read the novel, procrastinating to read it, but not gsgw it's my goat fr
I binged all the way up to volume 2 in hella fast time, before I got destracted by life. It's kinda dangerous for me to go back because I haven't things I need to do right now. But volume 3 is already underway and over 50 chapters deep. Unfortunately it's not a completed series but holy crap is it good! I'm always on the edge of my seat. The typesetting is also phenomenal. I heard that the author goes all out when the boom is released on Naver, IE the train stations for the first arc actually scroll across your screen like they would on a train window. But sadly we don't read Korean. The translators try their best to keep some of the fun typesetting in tact though. It'll be such a cool book when they officially translate it!
Should I read the novel? How good is this?
I really love novels like ORV and similar ones with system and transported into different worlds trope.
