Em Kay's review on Manga: Overgeared (5/5)

This is the kind of novel that can be reread over and over again. At least in the few years that I've been familiar with this novel, I've reread it at least six times. So, let's get to a more detailed review of Overgeared. Grid, aka Shin Young Woo, is, ahem, a very multifaceted character. Those who have read the description know that the author warned that the first 100 chapters of the novel can be quite boring. But they are very important for world building and getting to know the main character. The main character is shy, oddball, selfish, cares about money, and is easily envious of others. But as the main character meets different people and geniuses, he internally matures and his personality changes. Those who have only read the beginning of the novel find it hard to believe, but the protagonist really does become an amazing person over time. This is one of the main strengths of the novel, the character of the main character and his personal growth is very well written. This personal growth, surprisingly, happens so smoothly that it's hard for the reader to pick out the moment when this "weird, unlucky *ssh*l*" turns into a hero you can truly admire. Well, that's about all there is to say about the main character so as not to spoil the plot. Now let's move on to the other components of the novel. Worldbuilding. It is quite well thought out, as for a novel devoted to virtual reality. Of course, there are issues with the real world. But I won't lower my grade for that, because even these strange realities have a place in our world. 
Characters. All the characters, even the most insignificant and episodic, taking up no more than one page of the novel, ALL of them are described very well and seem alive. I think we have Morpheus to thank for that) 
In conclusion, I will say that I recommend that you read the novel Overgeared. I suggest you read at least 100-200 chapters before judging this novel. Good luck on your journey into the world of romance novels!
