▶Summary and recommendation: -----------------------------------------------------------------
A story's protagonist does not need to be kindhearted or an ally of justice. They only have to be interesting.
The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor's protagonist, is sadly not that.
I do not recommend this manhwa. There are far better manhwas with a similar premise.
▶Story: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you lower yourself to reading this manhwa, I implore you to pay attention to the videogame knowledge of the author, or the lack of it.
...
The MMO that the protagonist starts playing has been out for at least 7 years. It will be obvious to anyone who has played MMOs or even games in general that the entire story falls apart because of this. The entire premise is built around the protagonist discovering special and never before seen events due to his general videogame knowledge, persistence and inquisitive nature.
Which means we as the reader are meant to believe that before the main character showed up, there has never been any players before who are persistent, or inquisitive or gamers.
Even as a power fantasy, it falls short. Overgeared which took inspiration from The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor is a better execution of a similar premise.
▶Characters: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The only strong character trait of the protagonist is that he is greedy and persistent. Due to the lack of strong traits, his less obvious negative traits stand out so much more.
Arrogant, willing to exploit and manipulate kind people to his advantage and sexist. Which I am going to assume, due to the nature of this genre (characters are often self inserts); is not just the protagonist's trait, but the author's character trait as well.
▶Artwork: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The artwork is serviceable, but comes a bit short during action sequences.
