Infinite Leveling: Murim Review
First of all, I’d like to say that the negative review on the front page is bull**t; this is one of the better handled murim works out there. It has a great plot so far, the characters are very interesting, and the world-building is pretty smart. The flow is nice, if not a tad slow, but in a good way. The later chapters are three times longer than the earlier ones, if you were wondering. It just keeps getting better.
Story: It’s clear the author thought a lot about the story in general. The game system is overpowered, but it works on a very realistic “work hard, gain hard” principle. So far, no sudden strength gains have cropped up, and it still feels very balanced and satisfying. The plot is structured like your typical Murim adventure, but with a more realistic progression; it isn’t anything crazy, and there are no “heavenly black hole creators with one attack guy.”
Characters: the characters are very good, the main trio is very endearing, they have pretty well developed personalities, and I haven’t seen a trace of inconsistencies up until now. There is also a pretty satisfying underworld romance subplot that works very well for me. The side characters feel very much like people, and the world feels big and detailed thanks to them. The villains so far, apart from some wicked enemies, have been in the gray area of morality; nonetheless, most of them get defeated in very satisfying ways.
Art: The art is nice; it improves as the story goes along and the chapters get longer (which is awesome considering most mangas have short chapters to milk more money out of you); the fights make sense and flow nicely; and there are some pretty good character designs and set pieces to view along the ride.
Overall, I highly recommend this story; it’s cool, kind of original, and one of the most well executed murim stories out there. If you like zero-to-hero stories with some comedy and a pretty serious tone at times, I highly recommend this. Trust me, it’s a lot of fun!
