Surviving the Game as a Barbarian (Light Novel)

I couldn’t even clear the 2D version, now to clear the game in reality?

Maybe I’ll have to live here for the rest of my life.

Well, even that won’t be easy.

– A player found himself in the game, Dungeon and Stone, as a savage barbarian.

To keep his secret, he must become the mask – must make himself be seen as more savage, more fearless than any others – a paragon of his race in the eyes of the whole world.

Back on earth, in the empty darkened room, the quiet computer again began to whir. Text began to appear on the black screen.

「Synchronization complete. 」

    Hope the author is resting and recovering properly. This story is absolutely incredible and one of the best reads I've found so far, but all of that ends of they work themselves into an early grave.

    If you haven't started reading this series yet, I strongly recommend you set aside some time because once you start, its hard to stop.

    My Original Comment/Review was way too long. So to summarize it this series (STGAAB for short) is what happens when you respect characters, mechanics, setting, and of course the reader. You get the feeling and somewhat similar game mechanics to a Diablo or a Soulslike game; of course with the difficulty included. In addition to the twist and turns of a Call of Cthulu or Dnd like campaign keeping you & the MC engaged with how to progress in a myriad of situations.

    From exploiting bugs, to talking out of situations, to calling in favors the mc continually resists annihilation and control. Maybe most importantly there's actual set backs, failure, partial successes, and regression even with doing his best. Of course though there's the more typical political, monetary, power, and relationship based advancements (even if they take quite awhile) [which is good in my opinion].

    Lee Hansu's and/or Bjorn Yandel's friends, acquaintances, and enemies all feel real. And honestly if anyone was isekaied into their favorite game with a "life like" patch applied you could expect similar situations as shown in this story. The world would be affected by the loss of the MC especially in later chapters. But the worlds here like any other never ever would stop they would continue to spin despite.

        Hi! Everything’s great, thank you 😉 I guess you’re asking because it’s been a while since the last chapters came out 😉 From now on, chapters will be released three times a week — one each on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
