Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.Life Mission – a game that has become a reality.
What started out as a virtual reality game, after being suspended out of the blue, has turned into a reality. The perks are amazing and real – where points can be used to buy precious metals and cures for terminal illnesses. But so are the consequences. Death in this new reality game… is just as real.
Our MC was one of the best players in the virtual reality game. But will he be able to become the best in this new version?
Who will die and who will survive?
Resident Evil-esque later in the story

1. People are more realistic. They do not feel or act scripted! well done author Mong Yeon!
2. hello!? gaming affecting reality in bad-ass \\ (^^) // Story's great!
3. many novels get annoying cuz the MC wants to be a hero or dumb sh*t they do cuz of some girl... our MC here is definitely more likable
4. NO HAREM!!!! NO ROMANCE!!! NO HAREM!!! wait I think I said harem already... hehehe Anyways... bottom line is that this novel is definitely good. Worth a 4 to 5 star no matter what!
-young people can be better than old people in games, same in every game, yet they get looked down on
-you care about yourself first before you care about others, unless they are your team
-best players hate losing more than anything
-snobs who think they are the best WILL ALWAYS RUIN IT FOR OTHERS
-how the others would go for the last shot to kill steal just for points ?
minor spoiler warning - So 36 people who achieved the highest level in the virtual game all go on to become the strongest people in the real life version as well. They've already clarified that their fitness in the game does not match their fitness in real life. So the idea that the same people would rise to the top is beyond ridiculous.
For example, I used to play a game called Settlers online in the beta and I was the top player for awhile. I achieved that because the previous top ranked player quit playing. I also had a lot more time to play games back then and playtime makes a big difference there. Then there's also all the people who woulda been good, but never played. Games just don't work like this novel is making them out to.
Secondly, this is one of those authors that seems to believe that people are either "good or evil" and that good people will do everything in their power to do good and evil people will just always be evil. It's a really hollow and disgusting worldview I never liked in Asian culture.
All of the people who were evil PKers in the game went on to become mu*derers in the real life version. This is just insulting really. PKers kill other players because they like PVP or because they like to annoy people. That does not translate to mu*derer... To just throw them all together like that is disgusting.
Thirdly, the author seems to have PTSD confused with Schizophrenia. PTSD means you relive traumatic events or you become really negative or you have trouble sleeping. It's rather benign from an outsiders perspective and it's more a problem for the person suffering it. I'm honestly shocked at how bad this author's knowledge is on the matter. PTSD is closer to depression than "going insane" like this author seems to think it is.
Now let's get to the translation. The whole thing is translated into somewhat broken english that is "kinda" readable. You can ignore it pretty well, but it gets REALLY annoying when something important is being explained. You'll interpret the sentence one way, then it'll be completely contradicted a couple of sentences later and then it goes back and forth. Three pages later, the context makes it clear what happened, but it's a terrible mess of a translation.
For the longest time you'll hear the protagonist talk about how he needs "battle shoots", but it isn't for a LONG ass time until you realize that this is a horrible translation. He means to say "battle suits".
I honestly don't know if it'll ever get retranslated either. Korea is becoming harder to find translators for since they're actively stopping translation whenever someone tries asking for permission. If you are a korean translator, DON'T ASK... They all say no. Korean translators and legal translations are mutually exclusive. Don't bother.
The further into the story I get the more pissed off I am with the translation. There are times I'm pretty sure the translator skipped a chapter and there are times when he jumps from saying "Item A cost 50 million points" to "I bought Item A for 50 billion points". Trying to follow the details is just not possible with this bad of a translator. Like the sentences are readable, but the guy just doesn't care. It's like a speed translation.
Finally, there's an issue with the story. They have this annoying repetitive element that doesn't make sense. So the protagonist is like the best ranker in the original game and he keeps getting lucky breaks in the real life version that lets him skip ahead and attempt missions with gear and abilities a rank higher than other people. However, he never keeps this advantage. The other players always catch up quickly then he gets a new shortcut to a higher store. He's done this three times as of my current chapter. I thought it was cool once, twice I didn't notice, three times I'm annoyed.
How is the protagonist the best when he gets three lucky breaks but loses his advantage every time. Not to mention, this basically means he's had a three point handicap and still is just breaking even.
Super spoiler here
So I'm pretty far in the novel now and if what's been revealed as the "motivation for Life Mission" is true, this is the dumbest plot ever. So, a super advanced alternate Earth that's far in the future asked the question "who would win, humans armed with our technology or super powerful mutants." This question bothers them so much that they decide to create an apocalyptic virus that obliterates an entire world full of BILLIONS of people turning them into canibalistic mutants. Then they take a second world and arm them and tell them to kill the mutants for points. That's the plot, they killed billions of people just so they can play "humans vs mutants" in real life.
