September 20, 2023I think virtual reality/isekai manga is not for me.
The art style is good, though. 🔵

Buku terakhir di bulan ini (yang ada di TBR), dan mungkin saja menjadi buku terakhir yang aku selesaikan di tahun ini.
Bercerita tentang Nikola, anak perempuan yang bekerja di desanya, sampai suatu hari desanya diserang oleh sekawanan naga. Seorang pria bernama Haga menyelamatkannya, dan lambat laun, Nikola mulai mengetahui bahwa Haga bukan orang biasa, melainkan seseorang dalam golongan elite yang juga dikenal sebagai pengintai.
Long story short, Haga melakukan "kesalahan" yang menyebabkan desa Nikola hangus. Namun Nikola tidak mengalami gangguan apapun, dan sejak saat itu Nikola menjadi partner Haga untuk melakukan misi yang lebih besar lagi.
Aku sendiri juga butuh waktu agak lama untuk menyadari bahwa setting tempat di komik ini adalah di dalam sebuah sistem atau di dalam game! Yang mana tugas Haga adalah untuk mencari bug-bug apa saja yang ada di dalam dunia yang mereka tempati tersebut untuk "dikirim" kepada bos atau creator, atau yang kita sebut sebagai developer.
Cukup keren jadi makanya aku lumayan tertarik, meskipun jujur saja setengah bagian awal komik ini bikin aku bertanya-tanya ceritanya tentang apa sih!?

Fun, interesting, love the stuck in the game world and trying to make the best of it, but I am just not a fan of the other debuggers and I think I would have just liked the story more if we didn't have some psychopathic randos with too much power doing shit. I mean, who the fuck does all those things to NPCs? Or goes totally bonkers when someone doesn't want to be part of it?

I think the idea of this manga was wonderful. I know the bad guys need to be bad, and that the mission is to remove them from the game; however, I felt that they were a touch too 'bad' for me. I do very much appreciate the main character and his sidekick.

Hesitantly tagging "cat" since Nikola calls Amano one of a "kitten" race, but I don't know... similarly the "dragons" that look like giant frog hippos...
I'm also not sure if I like the story enough after one volume. I like it more than others I've read recently, at least, but that isn't saying a lot. I do know an anime just got released, and I wanted to read the manga first before seeing it, since it's usually the other way around for me (pick up the manga/light novel because I saw the anime) as it's easier to browse lots of different shows on a streaming service than to go out of my way to a bookstore/comic store to search for very specific titles.
The core premise is fairly obvious from the title: Debuggers (Haga, Amano, etc.) entered a VR world and could not leave. Unlike similiar stories, the Debuggers SHOULD have a way out, but they just don't know how to do it. The only thing Haga can do is to keep finding and reporting bugs in a curiously lifelike (other than the fantasy elements) world.
It reminds me a lot of Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai, style-wise. That might be intentional, since the world is a lot like the world of Dragon Quest. I suppose I might have to see it animated, though, since at the moment, the only thing I really find interesting about Haga in specific is he's a lefty, when nearly the only obvious lefty in media is Link (other characters are more often ambidextrous or don't do as much that show off their left-handedness... I'm glad to be proven wrong, though).
I'll definitely update my review after watching the anime, including whether it'll be worth continuing the story. It does feel like just a new polish on an old story, though.
(update)
The anime sure got a lot of mileage out of one volume! FOUR EPISODES to cover just this book! (and a few extra minutes that make for a RATHER ROUGH opening to book 2) I feel like other shows get one or two, MAYBE three episodes before having to go to the next one (and some condense an entire light novel into ONE episode, because the DAMN BOOK is ALMOST ENTIRELY FILLER).
That said, the choices of voice actors surprised me a bit (except Nikola, since most lady voice actors sound identical to me... to be fair, I'm not terribly great at hearing distinct sounds, so ALL actors sort of sound samey to me until I can identify specific quirks that I can recognise regularly). I'm not ENTIRELY sure how I feel about the series as a whole, but at least it temporarily has my spouse's interest... if by virtue of we caught up on all the more INTERESTING shows, haha.

Another addition in the "trapped in an MMO" genre this one follows a lone bug tester as he hopes fixing all the bugs will eventually free them while risking other players having evil power trips. It feels fresh in that it still treats the world as software rather than going full isekai the video game turned into a "real" world. It scored low for me as the tone seemed uneven in serious to silly. The game aspects also feel underdeveloped as we only see other players using skills/spells infrequently and little to no interaction with system mechanics other than wallclipping. These aspects were merely off-putting and may improve later.
Edit: In hindsight the protagonist might be avoiding spells/skills out of fear of bugs but this is never stated and merely said he avoids using dev-mode due to increased likelihood of glitches.

I liked this much more than anticipated - it reminds me of Heir Apparent and Deadly Pink. It's not a new take on the stuck-in-a-VR-game genre, but it does remind me why I enjoyed it in the first place.

This is a "trapped in a game" manga. The ideas are really fun, but the execution wasn't for me. As much as I like the main characters (and the art!) the bad guys were just a turn off. I would have preferred it if the story had gone in a more cozy, exploration direction instead of the nasty bad guy direction.
Still, the art was very good!

Pretty interesting premise! I'm gonna give this the 3-book rule before I decide how I like it.
I guess the biggest detail of note for now is that I didn't expect how graphic the art can be in that one particular panel (not really graphic graphic, but more than I expected).

Longer than it needs to be, but it's a fun setting and their depiction of dragons is hilarious. The end makes it worth reading, but it was a little rough to get there. I won't be continuing the series.

Gave this a try since it was half-off at the comic book store and it was better than I expected! More thought out than the vast majority of isekai are with clear and readable art and layout that still finds room for personality.

The first chapter hooked me, it's such a clever way to introduce exactly what to expect from this Manga. Incredibly excited for more.

This is a little more dystopia-y than I was expecting, but I want to stick with it for now.

Super cute premise! Now if I could just find volume 2 somewhere!
