This is my personal opinion about overgeared. For ~4 years of reading novels overgeared had a significant emotional impact to me. I felt myself in the novel as spectator. I saw Grid's growth as a person, a player, and as a man. He was an unfortunate man before he got pagma's descendant, but he shook off the shackles that bounded him. He grew up because of self-reflection and because of his friends he can count on.
There are many imperfections in this novel but it's my opinion so honor it atleast.
He learned a lot of things Friendship, being a guild leader, being a king, and being a role model. His personal growth of having a weak mindset to growing strong and dependable He met the NPC Khan and also the overgeared guild, Steim and Irene, Graham etc.
I laughed at the silly misfortunes of grid, awed and amazed at him achieving the impossible.
The story was predictable; sure it's because of plot armor. But I don't care about it; so much so that reading chapters brings me joy. But it also gave me emotions of sadness, that sadness is the death of khan. Grid met him and became his friend, he saved his smithy being taken by an evil company, he reminded Khan of his son in him, he treated him as his grandfather, and he is his first support before stepping on the world stage (I don't count smith and ashur). He was always there for Grid.
Khan was old. NPC doesn't live that long Grid played the game for just a few years. But in the game it's already a decade, he may have received blacksmith affection that increased an NPC's life, but time flows. Legends fall and new legends of newer generations will rise to replace them. But in that span of time, their relationship grew and solidified and it saddens me to see the passing of Khan, he was growing old (I won't elaborate but I encourage you to read it) and it pained me to read it, it was so vivid for me and made me want to write this while crying. The feeling of loosing someone important to you, the pain and sadness that comes along with it, I haven't finished with reading it yet but I'll rate it 10/10
The only novels that gave me this emotion is ISSTH and Overgeared.
1. Writing Style
2. World Building
3. Character Development The way Overgeared is written is very interesting and very easy to follow. It makes the reader feel like they are playing a very good mmorpg and the MC (Grid) is their controlled character. Every loot, level-up and achievement that the MC makes feels like an achievement to the reader. Also, the way the author mixes in good comedy without turning it into a gag novel is very commendable. It could be compared to Sword Art Online Season 1 in terms of game-like-elements and with intense and exciting story, but without the fear of death for the characters. It is very light hearted and the way the chapters are cut makes you curse the translators for leaving a very good cliff-hanger. The pacing of the novel is slow and would feel like it is dragging on and on (as an element of adventure stories), but it would still be worth it to read it. The world of Overgeared is very vast. It features the real world (China, South Korea, etc.) and the virtual world of Satisfy. The author gives a enough descriptions that it is easy for the reader to envision the place and the actions being taken by the characters. The East Continent in Satisy gave of an Asian cultivation novel feel while the Western Continent felt very medieval fantasy. The world of Satisfy features various places like desert areas, forests, caves, dungeons, temples, underwater cities, etc. The characters in the story are very well-developed. The author makes a good effort in making the characters relatable by giving them good backstories. Their personalities are very constant. I would actually like to applaud the MC's character development. His personality development and change did not feel sudden (from selfish to valuing his comrades). His change in values were supported by strong and eventful experiences in the story. Actually he retains some of his original personality traits in the later chapters despite becoming "a better person". The supporting characters are also given enough screentime so it is better to love and relate to them. However, some characters are getting less and less screentime as a consequence of having a vast character pool.
Anyways, I know a lot of people have stated you need to get past the chapter 100 or so mark before it's even worth reading and I have to agree with this.
If you're not planning on sticking with an immature, piece of sh*t and ultimately garbage human being for at least 100 chapters, don't even bother starting this. You'll hate it, and just waste your time.
If you want a character that actually develops into a functioning human being, and then proceeds to do epic sh*t read this. You have to stick with it, but it does get good. And it's infinitely more satisfying because of it. It's a book where the main character never, and I mean neaver stops improving.
There is a bit of nationalism in there, but it isn't all that bad. Apart from that well, ganbatte!
RIP Khan you amazing man! Only time I have legit cried reading a WN. That is how you know this is a great f*cking read.
