The Gamer is a Naver LitRPG webcomic first released in September 2013 and is, as of this writing, still on-going. English translations can be read officially on NaverWhat would happen if your world suddenly turned into an RPG? What if you could level up, raise your stats, and embark on a lifetime of adventure, loot and genre tropes galore?Enter Han Jihan, an 18-year-old Ordinary High-School Student. He's recently broken through The Masquerade and discovered that the world is full of dangerous monsters and people with supernatural gifts hiding in plain sight.He is no mage, martial arts master, or monster summoner. His own power is meager in comparison, but it is unique: A lifetime commitment to gaming meant his gift manifested in him becoming a living RPG character. Whenever he looks at people, he can see their titles, level, and stats. He can tangibly and immediately raise his skills and overall stats by performing tasks and gaining experience. Monsters that everyone else considers a dangerous nuisance inexplicably drop equipment he can use. His injuries recuperate by consuming ordinary food or resting overnight. He is able to learn skills way above his apparent Power Levels by allocating his stats correctly. And he is prepared to take on this brave new world through grit, Genre Savvy, copious amounts of Level Grinding and the fact that none of his opponents can figure out how video game logic works.So far, the story has been split into four seasons: chapters 1 - 86, chapters 87 - 123, chapters 124 - 195, and chapters 196 onward.Not to Be Confused with The Gamers.

Kill the God
 The Gamer (Webcomic) / int_10add6ee
comment
Kill the God: Discussed, attempted, but ultimately Averted. The Dan Ui Guild tried to kill Arc Company, but couldn't. They have killed gods before, but they only had about a million followers. Arc Company has over a hundred times that, making him much more powerful than the previous gods, and ultimately, the Dan Ui Guild were forced to let him go since while they could theoretically kill him even if he was that powerful, they themselves would lose too much of their fighting power in the process and despite how he came about, he's not dangerous enough for them to pull out all the stops.

comment
Phantom Zone: All ability users have the ability to create 'Illusion Barriers' where they can fight without affecting the real world (or breaking the Masquerade). They usually reflect the real world, but some ability users are able to create custom illusion barriers for specialized purposes, and there are a few special illusion barriers that contain mythical locations. A few of said mythical locations even travel around, distorting what would otherwise be a reflection of the real world.

comment
Magic Missile Storm/Rain of Arrows: Spinning Mana Arrow becomes cheaper and creates more projectiles the greater its level grows, and it's really fast, too. It's no surprise that it becomes Jihan's most used attack. Exaggerated with Infinite Spinning Mana Arrows, which continuously creates and shoots arrows until he drops it or runs out of MP.

Mutually Exclusive Magic
 The Gamer (Webcomic) / int_192d04d5
comment
Mutually Exclusive Magic: Trying to learn multiple Supernatural Martial Arts with different energy patterns will generally result in the conflicting energies killing the practitioner. However, Han Jihan's "Gamer" power allows different martial arts to be naturally fused into a more powerful martial art. The process of fusing them is still lethal, but even that has work arounds, such as Healing Hands, using an Immortality Inducer, or the power to come Back from the Dead.

 The Gamer (Webcomic) / int_1b465242
comment
Conditioned to Accept Horror: Jihan encounters two full parties of "players" in the Great Labyrinth dungeon who have gotten so accustomed to the "rules of the game" that they actively enjoy being dragged into the maze every night. What's worse is that in chapter 136, he finds out that the "game" is insanely popular and is being played by millions of people worldwide, and sexual assault, if not outright rape, is so commonplace, the victims are far too calm about it.

Poor Communication Kills: Discussed in Chapter 111. Lolikano constantly berates Jihan for failing to call her regarding Yoo-Jin's plight. What she refuses to let him mention, is that for several chapters, she's been ignoring his calls and text messages.

comment
There's been comparatively more with Sae-Young. Since she and Jihan are more or less Childhood Friends, Jihan can't help but notice Sae-Young's growth into quite an attractive young woman. Her skimpy choice of attire certainly doesn't help, and neither does her provocative manners or habit to tease Jihan for all its worth.

Pay Evil unto Evil: Standard practice for organizations like Chunbumoon and later, Han Jihan himself, when dealing with Human Traffickers and killers in the Abyss. As opposed to killing them, they basically take them into slavery themselves and force them into People Farms, using them as a Living Battery to build up and save Mana.

Childhood Friends: Jihan and Sun-Il knew each other since kindergarten, which contributed to how close they are and why whenever one does something dangerous, the other is quick to get worried and angry. By extension, since Sae-Young is Sun-Il's cousin and they live together, she and Jihan also count.

Crapsack World: The Abyss is not a nice place. The vast majority of individuals involved in it see humans as little more than numbers and most of the ones who want to keep Gaia's restrictions in-place, are doing it out of self-interest. Only a few select groups in the entire world care for regular people.

Power Profit Potential: Han Jihan asks Shin Sun-Il whether he could make money using his newfound supernatural powers. His friend replies that Gaia does allow people to do it, for as long as they aren't so blatant about it as to threaten the Masquerade. As long as that one restriction is complied with, any money-making endeavour using special abilities is perfectly fine. Satisfied, Han Jihan uses his gamer powers to grind money in ways not available to the rest of the Abyss community.

The Omniscient Council of Vagueness
 The Gamer (Webcomic) / int_2b42db02
comment
The Omniscient Council of Vagueness: The story occasionally cuts to a group of villains that have vague plans and objectives. That being said, they are hardly seen doing much besides planning, working with and through allies, and sending messages on their private chat group. It's not known what they had to gain from everything they did, but despite unexpected setbacks, they have been making progress to whatever their goals are. When they do take direct action, though, it is incredible, since one of them (Fan Rui) was capable of causing a Korea-wide crisis on his own. In the same arc, the Seeker of Truth casually overpowers Ji-Han and Seonil while seeming more interested in treating Ji-Han as a pupil than a foe. The two only win when Seonil unlocks Enlightenment Superpowers. This, while the Seeker was operating through a puppet that halved his own abilities and focusing most of his power on breaking the Seal of Amaterasu. Later, Ji-Han and Shi-Yun eke out a Curb Stomp Cushion at best against The Follower of Darkness. The latter only retreats when Seonil activates the Divine Birch Tree. Furthermore, the two were able to access the Tree's realm without the Three Heavily Artifacts. Seonil explicitly says "they managed to do the impossible."

Hyperactive Metabolism: Justified and Lampshaded. Food heals HP, so the main character responds to a particularly damaging attack by immediately pulling some bread and milk out of his Hyperspace Arsenal and frantically stuffing them down his mouth as fast as possible... in the middle of a fight. The reverse is also true: later on he realizes that food is just a healing item to him, and he never actually feels hungry.

Tranquil Fury: Thanks to Gamer's Mind, on the few occasions we've seen Jihan really angry (see above), he's been creepily calm. It's always been in response to people from the Abyss thinking they could hurt either the helpless or someone he personally cares about (or, on one occasion, both at once) with impunity. Still, seeing as he was actively considering cold-blooded murder on two separate occasions when faced with Abyss-based human traffickers, the fact that this comes so easily for him is starting to become a serious worry for both him and his friends.

Love Dodecahedron
 The Gamer (Webcomic) / int_4523420b
comment
Love Dodecahedron: Jihan's Unwanted Harem has some interesting inter-personal relationships. Lolikano is quite fond of Hwan Sung-Ah, and finds Kwon Shi-Yun "interesting" in the same way as she does Jihan, but was initially somewhat hostile to Kim Yoo Jin, until the latter started to gush over her, and still is rather "reserved." Kwon Shi-Yun goes into Clingy Jealous Girl territory, complete with Battle Aura and blood lust upon mention of either Hwan Sung-Ah or Lolikano, but strangely has no problems sharing with Kim Yoo Jin, even going so far as to actually invite her to the date with Jihan, and only playfully competing as to who is in the lead. Kim Yoo Jin is very fond of Kwon Shi-Yun, and gushes over Lolikano, but is unaware of Hwan Sung-Ah. Poong Sae Young loves to tease Jee Han for all it's worth, but it's yet to be shown if she even has feelings for him, or how she'll react to the harem situation, even though she's at least aware of Kim Yoo Jin, if not Hwan Sung-Ah, and actually approves, or at least tolerates it without complaint.

God Needs Prayers Badly: The more followers a god has, the more powerful they become. The newly formed Arc Company in fact had so many followers via the Grand Labyrinth game that it was able to prevent a Kill the God attempt on himself by a group that casually considers killing gods achievable. As of Chapter 154, he had over 120 million followers, and the Dan Ui guild predicts it will only increase.

Early-Installment Weirdness: The story begins with Jihan seeing everyone's name, levels (or ??) and occupation over their heads. This has disappeared entirely at some point, and now he, and we, only get that information when he uses "inspect" or "observe" on another character.

Our Demons Are Different
 The Gamer (Webcomic) / int_50ed1af4
comment
Our Demons Are Different: Demons are born from the emotions of mankind. In particular, they tend to be born from negative emotions. Hell acts as a sort of garbage facility, trapping many of them, but new demons can be born in the normal world as well. They usually start out looking like monsters, but after building up enough power, they tend to go through a Bishōnen Line, due to the fact that they were born from human thoughts in the first place. According to Yeonhwa, their relationship with humans is of both love and hate due to the nature of their creation.

Nobody Poops: While in most situations, like in Jihan's high school, it could practically be handwaved that visits to the bathroom occur off-screen, but as of the introduction of Kim Yoo Jin to the abyss, all characters are spending extended amounts of time, on screen, inside ID barriers (10+ hours in chapter 112-113), where there are no such facilities, and nobody ever complains about it, although people still get hungry and still need to stop for a break to eat.

The Aggressive Drug Dealer: The Church of Masks gives everyone the option to leave their Hive Mind... after they've been forced to join it, at which point they've grown dependent on the connection. This is explicitly compared to drugs, and while the Church insists they are all free, outsiders are less certain.

comment
Pragmatic Villainy: Most Abyss residents avoid targeting Muggles too much, not because they give a damn about harming innocent lives, but simply because if they cause too much damage to The Masquerade, they will tick off Gaia, which will most likely react by further tightening its restrictions to reinforce it. There is an ongoing conflict between those who wish To Unmasque the World and those who want to maintain the status quo. For obvious reasons, ending The Masquerade would produce a massive amount of chaos and probably get a lot of people killed, but neither faction actually gives a damn about that. The faction that wants to release the masquerade wants to be able to exercise their power freely, while the status quo faction has adapted and simply finds it a convenient way to protect their power.

Something Only They Would Say: Jihan convinces his best friend, Shin Sun-Il, of who he is... by making a ridiculously bad Star Wars joke while Shin Sun-Il is choking him and demanding to know his real identity. The same happens a bit later with Sae-Young, under basically the same circumstances. He convinces her that he is the real Jihan by...revealing he knows she wears black lace silk panties since several years ago note He was about to say 2nd year of either Junior or High School, but got interrupted mid-way by a raging woman. which again, is something only he would know since he went into her room once without her permission.

Limited Social Circle: Excluding family, at the beginning, Jihan and Sun-Il explicitly only had each other as friends. They were never close to other kids at their school. Jihan even tries to claim he has school friends besides Sun-Il but admits he hasn't hang out with any of them as of late. However, as time goes on and Jihan's involvement in the Abyss increases, that circle slowly expands as they make more acquaintances and even friends in the Abyss. Excluding their fellow friends in the Abyss though, they aren't close to anyone else in school.

comment
Monstrous Cannibalism: When negative emotions fester, they form weak monsters variously called minions or scraps in instant dungeons. On their own, they pose relatively little threat, but they become stronger monsters more universally called demons by eating each other. Jihan still feels queasy seeing that happen in front of him despite how strong he's gotten and how long he's spent in the Abyss.

comment
Masquerade: Enforced. If you break it, the world itself will kill you. Long ago, magic could be used freely and publically, but 2000 years ago, the will of the world and several of the strongest gods put in place the Masquerade and banned all sapient species besides humans from living outside of illusion barriers, feeling it necessary to keep the world safe. Subtle magic is still fine, and abusing Muggles in an illusion barrier is also acceptable so long as you don't overdo it, but if you perform magic to the extent that it breaks past the Weirdness Censor and Muggles in the normal world notice that something is wrong, Gaia will wreak vengeance by inflicting bad luck until you die. Gaia also forbids more than 1% of the population of a country from joining the Abyss. If the Abyss's population exceeds that number, Gaia will inflict the same fate upon the extras.

Awesomeness by Analysis: Part of the comic's appeal is Jihan figuring out not only how his powers work, but also how to min-max them to gain an edge. His 'A Gamer's Mind' ability allows him to be this, making him able to keep calm and think logically in dangerous and stressful situations (like combat) and making him immune to psychological status effects.

Made a Slave

comment
During the Church of Masks arc, Lolikiano explains to Jihan that while people being used as resources is the norm in the Abyss, it is wasteful when the person in question has rare, unique, and/or powerful abilities. For those guys, they may be Made a Slave via magic, be the victim of some other method of coercion to force cooperation, or even killed and soul stolen since the related powers can still be used but not as effective as when the person is alive. The Church of Masks tried to do to that Jihan but Jihan turned that around and used magic to force their leader to be his subordinate, effectively removing the threat to himself and gaining control of the Church of Masks on top of it.

Spell My Name With An S: The main characters' names, basically without exception, all change drastically between translation teams, and sometimes between chapters translated by the same translators. Han Jihan is the most frequent victim, but it's getting to be quite noticeable with the ladies of his Unwanted Harem like Kwon Shi Yun, "Sheyon" and Kim Yoo-Jin, "Jugin" (who still keeps getting called "President" or "Prez" even after she explicitly asked not to be called that).

Chick Magnet: Deconstructed realistically: A lot of different women express interest in the main character in fairly inappropriate ways after very little contact with him. Rather than reacting like a harem protagonist would, he mostly finds it weird and creepy, to the point of pointing out that Lolikiano's treatment of him probably qualifies as sexual harassment. When multiple girls start gossiping about him and get upset over things they THINK he did, he's realistically upset over being treated like a bad guy for things he had no control over, and it carries over to his revulsion toward their advances. After being teased for years by Poong Sae Young, and noticeably getting violence delivered upon himself if he so much as looks like he's interested, it's no surprise that he's Oblivious to Love.

Foreshadowing: As expected, a few chapters after Jihan is warned about the possibility of Mana Farms coming after him in order to exploit his powers, a pair of people from the Abyss who capture people and sell them to the farms appears and comes after him. Chapter 26 has Jihan mentioning that the Class Representative have higher level than most students in his class excluding himself, Sung-il, Shi-yun, and Sung-ah. Specifically, her INT is the highest in the school before Jihan grinded his INT. Come chapter 102, she's trapped in a dungeon, decided to train herself just to survive in case she's trapped in a dungeon again, and Jihan realizes it's best to shape her up into a wizard because of her absurdly high INT. A Squishy Wizard, but at least she can survive the dungeons and the Abyss. During the Church of Masks arc, Lolikiano explains to Jihan that while people being used as resources is the norm in the Abyss, it is wasteful when the person in question has rare, unique, and/or powerful abilities. For those guys, they may be Made a Slave via magic, be the victim of some other method of coercion to force cooperation, or even killed and soul stolen since the related powers can still be used but not as effective as when the person is alive. The Church of Masks tried to do to that Jihan but Jihan turned that around and used magic to force their leader to be his subordinate, effectively removing the threat to himself and gaining control of the Church of Masks on top of it.

One-Man Army: Most people in the Abyss are affiliated with a group for their own protection. The ones who aren't tend to be individuals who can hold their own against such groups like Sung-Gong. The One-Man Army of the setting is the Harem King, who needs three of the nine most powerful organizations in the world to team up for him to even have a chance of losing.

Weak, but Skilled: While Jihan's level of firepower is nothing special, as far as the story goes, he has continuously beaten foes far stronger than himself because his skill levels and gaming knowledge make him far more skilled than them, and nobody in the Abyss has ever gone up against a "gamer" type ability before.

comment
Cut Lex Luthor a Check: Played with: Abilities can be used to make money in the Muggle world, but only as long as it doesn't threaten the Masquerade. Using discrete abilities to -for example- make your wares more eye-catching, appealing, or just plain better is perfectly fine even if all of your clients are Muggles. Being too overt however (like making yourself win the lottery) will make the world itself kill you. Jihan also gives the Random Drops to Shin Sun-Il to sell them (or extract the magic out of them), netting him large amounts of money.

Mood Whiplash: Jihan's first meeting with Mahyeon Sung starts serious as the latter explains that information on Jihan is spreading in the world of the Abyss. Sung then asks Jihan to start using his company's Abyss Auction website, with all the unnecessary flair of a sales pitch, before going right back to serious as Sung passes Jihan a warning that because information on him is spreading, he's in danger.

Most Abyss residents avoid targeting Muggles too much, not because they give a damn about harming innocent lives, but simply because if they cause too much damage to The Masquerade, they will tick off Gaia, which will most likely react by further tightening its restrictions to reinforce it.

Final Solution: Early on, Shin Sun-Il tells Jihan that ever since the Second World War, members of the Chunbumoon clan regularly visit Japan and murder every man, woman, and child with supernatural powers who they can find, in order to prevent Japan from ever gaining the power to pose a threat to Korea again. They only make an exception for Buddhist sects, which is why the vast majority of Japanese Abyss members are demons.

The Witch of Carnage, aka Lolikiano Mistream took an instant liking to Jihan, openly flirting with him in the way an older woman would with a younger man and even giving him her number. After the battle with the Black Rock clan, she "marked" him by stealing his first kiss. Talk about coming on strongly.

(There's also the fact that few people have noticed when he uses "inventory" in public.)

Human Traffickers: Possibly the most common crime in Abyss. In the Abyss, Might Makes Right and a huge portion of those in it see other people as nothing but resources. They usually go after weaker magic using targets that aren't affiliated with a powerful group or personally strong enough to defend themselves. But it isn't unusual for them to go after Muggles too.

There's been some slight teasing with Shi-Yun, even though she's been mostly Out of Focus. Her strait-laced manner actually broke when she unintentionally said something potentially suggestive to Jihan. note  For context, Jihan helped her and she insisted on rewarding him for it, since she couldn't believe that Jihan helped her out of the goodness of his heart. She even offered her body as a reward if he so desired—she just meant something completely different from what Jihan and quite probably the reader expected. Said teasing increased exponentially in later chapters where we quickly find out that Shi-Yun is potentially a Clingy Jealous Girl thanks to Jihan's Gamer ability. From the start of a major battle where the two have paired together (thanks to a newly discovered Party System, ala Sword Art Online) he quickly discovers how to use it to get in contact with the Witch of Carnage. Due to the Witch acting predictably toward him, he immediately gets a notice that he detects a "Strong Bloodlust" in the vicinity. As Shi-Yun is the only one around, no points for guessing who's letting said aura off. Her getting angry at Jihan for this type of thing becomes a Running Gag for the rest of the battle.

Berserk Button: For your own safety, refrain from: Hurting Jihan in front of Sun-Il. Threatening Sun-Ah in front of either Sung-Gong or Jihan. Being an Abyss-based human trafficker in front of Jihan. There have been two occasions thus far where Jihan has seriously considered murder (outside of the Grand Labyrinth, where being killed is traumatic, but not permanent), and they have both been against people who kidnapped people for magical purposes.

Ship Tease
 The Gamer (Webcomic) / int_dcb9c541
comment
By far though, Jihan has had the most Ship Tease with Sung-Ah. Jihan immediately sympathizes with her plight, and realizing that his ability can help her and even potentially save her, he wonders if he was born just for the purpose of helping people like her. Sung-Ah's normally sullen personality and her condition serve to make scenes featuring her very poignant, and Jihan always, without exception, does his utmost to be nice to her and help ease the burden of her curse every time they meet. He strives to allow her to experience things normal girls get to do all the time that she can't because of her extremely frail body and because of her father keeping her close to protect her. Most blatantly, when she offered to repay a favor and he thoughtlessly asked for a date, she accepted.note  Though, her instant approval of his request is most likely because it was her first one too. Later, Jihan vows that one day he will save her, and Sung-Ah is moved to tears.

Casual Danger Dialogue
 The Gamer (Webcomic) / int_df41acb
comment
In the same arc, the Seeker of Truth casually overpowers Ji-Han and Seonil while seeming more interested in treating Ji-Han as a pupil than a foe. The two only win when Seonil unlocks Enlightenment Superpowers. This, while the Seeker was operating through a puppet that halved his own abilities and focusing most of his power on breaking the Seal of Amaterasu. Later, Ji-Han and Shi-Yun eke out a Curb Stomp Cushion at best against The Follower of Darkness. The latter only retreats when Seonil activates the Divine Birch Tree. Furthermore, the two were able to access the Tree's realm without the Three Heavily Artifacts. Seonil explicitly says "they managed to do the impossible."

Mana Shield
 The Gamer (Webcomic) / int_df487835
comment
Mana Shield: Shin Sun-Il suggests that Jihan learn this ability, saying that it's common among western ability users. Thanks to Jihan's Int-based build, focus on defense, percentage-based MP regeneration, massive MP reserves, Summon Magic, and low-cost Deflector Shield, it would help to make him even harder to kill.

Our Gods Are Different: There are effectively three different orders of god. There are gods and demons created by Clap Your Hands If You Believe, who are subject to Gods Need Prayer Badly. Earth itself is a Genius Loci, with its intelligence referred to as Gaia. There is also The Maker responsible for creating Gaia in the first place, and the source of numen energy, the most powerful form magical energy known to exist.

Truce Zone: In Chapter 130, Kwon Shi-Yun notes that the amusement park introduced in chapter 128, where she, Kim Yoo Jin, and Jihan had their group date, is one between numerous mutually hostile clans from The Abyss, and even then, only because many of their members are victims of "The Great Labyrinth" dungeon and the clans are all more focused on finding the perpetrator than fighting each other.

Clingy Jealous Girl
 The Gamer (Webcomic) / int_eb5b71fe
comment
Said teasing increased exponentially in later chapters where we quickly find out that Shi-Yun is potentially a Clingy Jealous Girl thanks to Jihan's Gamer ability. From the start of a major battle where the two have paired together (thanks to a newly discovered Party System, ala Sword Art Online) he quickly discovers how to use it to get in contact with the Witch of Carnage. Due to the Witch acting predictably toward him, he immediately gets a notice that he detects a "Strong Bloodlust" in the vicinity. As Shi-Yun is the only one around, no points for guessing who's letting said aura off. Her getting angry at Jihan for this type of thing becomes a Running Gag for the rest of the battle.

Big Damn Heroes: Just when Hwan Sung-Gon is about to be defeated by the President of the Company, Jihan suddenly appears below him to heal him, having done the same with the Witch of Slaughter and Aholting, while Gnome takes down one of the Eight Pillars of Sealing that were preventing Sung-Gon from using his full power.

Drama-Preserving Handicap
 The Gamer (Webcomic) / int_efacc623
comment
Drama-Preserving Handicap: The author's answer to make sure that Jihan doesn't become such an obvious Game-Breaker thanks to his Gamer ability is to make sure that his Wisdom stat remains relatively low so that Jihan doesn't make the necessary, or completely correct, decisions regarding how to power up his abilities. For example, his lack of Wisdom causes Jihan to rush into things without fully thinking the process through such as suddenly dumping all his extra stat-points into Intelligence despite knowing that it would help build his judgement, and thinking-process, if he put points into Wisdom. Somewhat justified though; since Jihan has already put a lot of points into Int, it's very difficult to get extra Int points by doing regular actions or training. Meanwhile, Strength and all his other stats can be increased relatively easily by grinding related actions. So, since he can't effectively grind Intelligence anyways, he dumps all his stat points into it to artificially raise it. The problem comes in with how difficult it is to grind Wisdom, since making intelligent decisions requires a good Wisdom to begin with. The problem is starting to be addressed with Jihan investing points in Wisdom as of chapter 66.

It's A Small Net After All: It takes less than an hour of research for Jihan to find the website that the Abyss Auction works through. Justified in that a high-ranking agent of the Abyss gave him a business card.

Unskilled, but Strong: Shin Sun-Oh wants to make sure that Jihan averts this. He wants Han to come train with him even though Han insists that he's already figured out how to become exponentially stronger by exploiting his ability. Shin then rebukes him by stating that raw power is useless without skills and experience.

Attempted Rape: At first mentioned by Hwan Sung-Ah when she and Jihan were on the run from human traffickers, but explicitly shown in season 2's "Great Labyrinth" arc where Jihan stumbles on it occurring. Accidental or not, Jihan killing the would-be rapists to prevent it is not normally considered "murder" in most of modern society.
