Basically Solo Leveling without the stupid system. The scenario and overall plot line isn't all that dissimilar. Quite frankly, when you consider the various clichés, it's essentially the same story, just with minor differences. Yet, I like this story better. It seems better written and there is a little more depth to it. Kinda like when you read a fanfic of something that's better than the original that it is a fic of. Like various Naruto and HP fanfics over the years. This is like that concerning solo leveling. It's the same overal concept, just way better executed. The only thing that could have made it even better, would be if a different country was chosen than Korea, to set it slightly apart from the two, or if it was a slightly more alternative world setting where modern day geopolitical issues and borders got slightly redrawn, like a United Korea or something due to the portal event to add a little more flavor to the world itself. After all, there are only two ways a portal event could go for a less populated country with poor resources like North Korea could go. NUCLEAR or total defeat and subsequent absorbtion by South Korea or China . Thus, it is only in the world history that I feel more changes to reflect the after affects of such a portal event would have on society that I feel should be added to better ground the story. After all, currently it's as if the portals showed up, and everyone ignored it to go business as usual unless it was for their greed to be fulfilled. However the effects of such an event would me more simular to a country that has been at war, with the economy and society in a state thar reflects that. Thus my 4/5 stars, because there is room for improvement even if it is better written than simular stories.
