Overgeared (WN KR) novel is a popular light novel covering Action, Adventure, and Comedy genres. Written by the Author Park Saenal. 1653 chapters have been translated and translations of other chapters are in progress.
Brief Overview
The basis of this novel is a virtual reality game called Satisfy, developed by the world’s top genius scientist Lim Cheolho and world-class scientists.
The main character is timid, flaky, selfish, cares about money and easily feels jealous of others. Because the author set up the character in this way, the story was difficult for the readers to read.
But as the main character encounters various people and geniuses, he internally matures and his personality changes. If the main character is described as cancerous early on, at present he can be called a mature adult. However, those who don’t read beyond the early parts of the 5th volume (~ chapter 90) find it hard to believe.
The basic settings and story line are similar to other VR novels, but the praiseworthy thing is the content development. The early parts aren’t much different from rival novels, but the novel rating has exceeded the market average in recent years due to the writer’s growth.
Like other novels, it contains a munchkin element, but it is different from typical munchkins. In the early stages, the game progresses with the main character using his class of a legendary blacksmith. The main character expands the game content and the level of the existing users dramatically increase. Hidden talents, new players in the official rankings, classes that could break the balance, all of this makes the main character’s one-man show impossible. The main character grows internally and externally while competing with others.
In fact, if you compare the simple and ignorant battle method in the beginning to his abilities in the present time, it is possible to feel such a sense of distance that he doesn’t seem like the same character.
As for the evaluation of the work, the criticism was severe in the beginning, but the popularity increased rapidly after that. As described above, the improvement in the author’s writing and the growth of the main character led to rapid changes in the comments. However, the main character’s selfish and frustrating behaviour caused many readers to stop reading in the beginning. For the readers who have gone beyond the beginning, it is a tragedy that seems really pitiful.
Currently, its popularity is increasing and a webtoon was recently released. However, there are many criticisms of the webtoon due to the various changes made

I have not read even one chapter of this novel because I want to know 'does players earn real money from the game? If they can, I would try this novel
the perseverance needed to like this novel is mad
Love how op grid is but still struggling to win on his opponents. Grid is one of the best who have a great character development.
Is there like one on one romance at first? Or is it just harem
Great novel. Read it till chapter 150 or so and dropped it for a petty reason: I can't stand things like "exclusive" classes and stuff where you are basically op beyond belief and I didn't get the early tournament where you even hadn't leveled to your max level. If you can ignore all these gigantic game design flaws, you will love it, but if I read it, I cringe at how shitty the game is.
Probably my second favorite after versatile mage. Incredible character development, great world building and mix of e-sports, NPC interactions, wars, quests, class advancement and more Extremely well written with tons of interesting fleshed out cast
slight annoyance to me about the novel (spoilers for very far ahead) Spoiler Alertkraugel at first is obviously wya stronger then grid but basicly after grid beats him the second time he becomes way stronger, and yeah I like this, but the novel kinda pretends they're still rivals even though it's obvious grid is way stronger then kraugel, and I want them to be rivals and so for the last few hundreds chapters was hoping he's gonna get like some massive power boost to even out the fields, but it just ain't happening, hell kraugel almost becomes weaker because of the kirinus training arc and his level barely rising, I like grid being op, I'd just want his "rival" to, yknow, actually rival him.
I have only read until hell elevator was started is it worth it to read the chapters after cause I’m felling like dropping
Does he have a pet? It has the tag but im double checking and can anyone tell me what it is if he does have one
The first 120ish chapters the MC is literally a garbage person I wouldn’t touch with a hazmat suit; however, if you can stick it out, this story is really, really good. Some AMAZING character growth, some of the best characters ever written. Period. I have literally ugly cried to this story it’s so good. Also, when the story gets hype. It gets HYPE. Goosebumps on the arms when you read some of the fights.
