"Life is a gamble" - Not Hardcore Leveling Warrior This is one of the top 3 manhua's ive ever read, and I would recommend it to anyone asking for any manhua or even anything to read ever, it's amazing and I wish everyone I knew read it. The art in this manhua is, amazing, it's easily the best art in any manhua i've read, the end art is eye candy and it's just amazing to look at. The 2 seasons were really great, although I do have some issues with the 2nd season, and the 3rd season so far has been amazing. I have to saythat the release schedule is somewhat annoying, so if you're not a fan of that, read the first 2 seasons and wait for the 3rd season to finish then binge read it. The power system in this manhua is amazing, I love the personal attributes that people have in the manhua, and the references to real people and real historical figures is really cool, and I love how they implemented conceptual powers such as gambler or liar in it too.

Characters: hardcore leveling warrior, the character, is so fun. He's the best part about the manga and his powers as the previous number 1 player and who knew absolutely everything about the core mechanics of the game and the best way to level up felt really fresh, in comparison to a lot of characters who are already op because they have a god given talent that can easily beat through anything they want to. Dark and Sora are both great supporting characters too, and they both play really well off hardcore leveling warrior. There's also the other siblings of dark, great characters who each have really amazing powers as well. Zero as characters are cool too, but they aren't that great, they're good villains but they don't do that well as characters by themselves.
