Synopsis

Fresh out of military service, Ryu Han-bin is suddenly transported to another world. His guide system is full of errors and leaves him stuck in the tutorial for more than twenty years. When he finally gets out, he finds that everyone has turned against people from other worlds like him.

My take

A power fantasy with an interesting premise, a solid story (at least until the last chapters, where it loses its way a bit), a solid protagonist and solid characters. Although the protagonist is overpowered, it’s earned thanks to the premise, and the action stays thrilling. Worth reading.
