The male lead was the weakest of the weak, but after facing a hidden boss with his party, eventually sacrificing himself, he was given a chance to improve himself and turn into a stronger hunter as he follows a game-like power.
after ch. 179, the side stories will include romance
the male lead lives in a world that was turned into a real life game with portals and dungeons. the ML was living life not trusting anyone, however he was betrayed by who he thought was a “hero” he could trust. he returns to the past and decided to get his sweet revenge.
the male lead, living with his drunken father, younger sister, and hospitalized mother, was left in a huge debt. he goes on a search for a job on the internet and clicks on a link which connects to a survey. little did he know, he sold his soul to a company where they pay you if you complete a mission that seems way too real.

the male lead lives in despair after his wife and little girl was murdered. however, on the day of his wife’s birthday a written message appeared in his journal; and then was transported into a world where you’ll be able to achieve what you wish for. through the help of his journal from his future self, the male lead fights to avenge his beloved family.

the male lead has an eating disorder. he tries hard to lose weight by trying to eat less and working out/swimming. however, it doesn’t seem to be going well after he passes out. he was given a another chance when his doctor suggested that he could use a virtual reality game where all senses are used. he accepts to play, but is it a success?

The male lead has been having nightmares of this one town that holds a tall shadowy figure who slowly inches closer to him as years go by. Then one day, it became a reality.
The art is absolutely gorgeous, and the story itself seems rather interesting
(Update: the ending was a bit rushed, but i still enjoyed it)
The male lead was transported into a game, as well as many other people, weak or strong. However, the male lead had an unfortunate skill that didn’t really benefit him in combat.
Oh me, oh my! His companions are so cute, and his friendships are so nice and wholesome. Not only that, he’s unexpectedly pretty clever
the male lead was awakened with a healing ability, which seemed to be trash, making others reject him and such. fortunately, he had good friends who still let him go on missions with them. However, this boss in a dungeon had killed everyone in the team, except for him. He got a sword which was from his friend and used it to upgrade his powers, alone.
