Before you even read further I would reccomend that if you have not playing PUBG that you do not read this manhwa, a large portion of my enjoyment came from going "YO THATS THE ONE IN THE GAME". To its credit this manhwa emulates the PUBG extremely well with locations, guns and vehicles that are literally one to one replicas including scopes and other details, however, the character writing does not match up to this precision. In my opinion, the manhwa's writing is the main thing holding it back, while it held my attention at the time, after some thought, character motivations do not lineup with their backstory and there some tropes that really made me sigh. This issue was slightly avoided as large amounts of the characters' backstories are back loaded towards the end of the story, nonetheless, this made for an unsatisfying ending.
Apart form this the manhwa was fine, the art was good but not brilliant and to give the writing some credit, I think that the world building was extremely well utilised. The author implements the game mechanics and uses the setting to creatively to influence story beats in interesting ways, however, this once again relies on your understanding of PUBG. This manhwa also suffers from reusing quite a few tropes specifically around the females characters in the story and has a very monster of the week format which does not allow for deeper exploration of these characters.
In summary, this manhwa is a perfect 'junk food' manhwa, slam a couple of ciders, punch a few cones or if you're just feeling the manhwa then i would recommend pounding this manhwa out in one afternoon and I reckon you'll have great time (if you've played PUBG).
Mild Spoiler Warning:
I will mainly speak broadly about tropes and such to avoid actually spoiling.
A disappointing aspect of this manhwa is the trope of baiting the audience to think someone died or something bad happened before cutting away, I believe part of this is simply due to cliffhangers being a necessity when reading manhwa, however, this still takes away from the reading experience. In the manhwa's defense rarely does it return to some bullshit almost always it returned to an escape that was plausible.
I will not mention details here, however, the ending was extremely convoluted with multiple characters backstories getting shat out and like 5 twists in a row.
