MC is a guy, unkept black hair, eyebags, lanky. Genre is action, it's one of those game manifested into reality (?) or world suddenly becoming a game. There are sponsors if I remember correctly, there is this clown one that follows MC around. MC also gets a crow themed power up I believe. I also remember there being a girl next to him with long black hair and bangs (not a loli). MC definitely had a arc or a few chapters where he had to fight a boss in a circus/amusement park.
Think there was safe zones, but MC just went off and did his own thing.
I also believe that he had like this special access to the sponsors group chat where he remains anonymous and listens in on them, purple theme for this.
There was also a bit where they were fighting a dragon (like an eastern dragon, those longggg ones) in a skyscraper building and MC defeated it and broke through all the floors (I swear it's from this story)
Art style isn't like the conventional style, rough looking and stylised (best I can describe it)
Might've been axed but can't remember
Please help me!
Not that unfortunately ╥﹏╥
The only one story i know with sponsors is The Overpowered Newbie, but i dont think it fits what your looking for ┗( T﹏T )┛
maybe?? tbh it’s been yrs since ive read this manhwa/novel, but it feels roughly like this: https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/the_only_necromancer/
the clown reminds me of https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/leveling_with_the_gods/, but it’s definitely not what youre looking for.
there’s one more im thinking of but i don’t remember what it’s called/enough of it to try and search for it
Guys I found it! It's return to player and I won't lie, I don't think I'll reread it. Comments aren't looking good (￣∇￣")
Ty for your efforts and I think I'll add them to my list, cause what's the harm in more stuff to read
I just found out that the novel finally has an official English translation (I'm over the moon!) but I've heard about the westernisation of it, like Kim Dokja becoming Dokja Kim (like who tf is that).
I mean I get it and it's not too bad of a change.
But I've also heard about dokkaebi translated into goblin? That for me is throwing me off buying it slightly. It would just disrupt the reading experience if I were to stop every few pages trying to figure what the new term means. Especially when there are actually goblins in ORV, so won't the terms clash with each other?
I'm only on here cause I've really nowhere else to ask, is there any other egregious translations or perhaps changes?
I can pass hyung for brother (never bro, istg if I see bro in the book I'll pass out) and the honorifics changing to Miss and Mr, cause yeah ig since it's the English translation.
That was such a beautiful way to end a story! I've never seen this post credits method, listing the cast. It actually makes me think back on the story rather than just focusing on the ending and I appreciate that. I think this is gonna be one of those stories that I don't mind not getting side stories from. It was wrapped up nicely. Sure, we could get more on Edgar and Rose, but I like how it was portrayed. It doesn't need anymore to it. 10/10 read.
