Overgeared (WN KR) novel is a popular light novel covering Action, Adventure, and Comedy genres. Written by the Author Park Saenal. 2059 chapters have been translated and translation of all chapters was completed.
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

Comments on the novel chapters for the last week.
I was one of this novel's devoted reader from years ago before this novel turn into a harem genre. And i heard it even ended with one so I stopped reading after I saw all the signs. Good novel, I even survived MC early sh*tty personality before he got a major character development. I follow this novel from day one, yet it contains the things I don't like so I stop reading. I hate harem with passion, so I feel like I found a nasty maggot in the middle part of a sweet mango after I ate almost halfway of it. Made me want to p*k*. What an unpleasant feeling. Sad that I can't finish this novel. But it's my decision and choice, and I rather bear this kind of incompleteness than witnessing my once favorite novel got soiled by nasty genre tag.
For the Manhwa reader's here: Start of Eastern Continent - Chapter 512 End of Current chapter rn - 514
Same translation as w right?
I really liked the novel when I was reading it, can people who have already finished it tell me how it is at the end? The author didn't give it a rubbish ending or did he? I want to know if it's worth going back to, since I've finished my current novel. ROTSSG
All of these people saying about MC personality... Anyone in his position would act like that... And i didn't dislike it... Even his in game name is Grid as in Greed (author himself compared these 2 words in later chp) Its good seeing him going from that state to a person to look forward to and get inspired from.. And so what if he is like that and never changes? I am fed up with all these comments If you want a generic MC with character and other +ve things from chp go read other 1000s of novels with same MC
I just want to know if the killing is all virtual in the game, or is it in Reality too?
never seen an author that tried so much to make the MC hard to like
Two points the endless rambling and mc personality almost makes me want to smash my phone
Lol I'm surprised with this authors personality that someone hasn't been beaten senseless lmao🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is this good? Is the story quality comparable to LOTM, Reverend insanity or Legendary Mechanic ? Don't really want to waste my time reading multiple chapters just to drop it later.
