Surviving the Game as a Barbarian

Synopsis

Lee Han-su has spent nine years playing Dungeon and Stone, an RPG nobody has ever beaten. Just as he opens the final boss’s dungeon, he wakes up in the body of Bjorn Yandel, a barbarian of that world, now real. With everything he knows about the game, he tries to survive in a place where any mistake costs you your life.

My take

Undisputed top tier. With a fairly standard premise, the protagonist stands out for his intelligence and strategy in an extremely hostile world where death is an everyday affair. A solid story and an interesting cast. Careful if you have a friend called Hans. Worth reading.
