Spoiler for Synopsis:

In the present world, there is a very popular trading card game called Magic Eater. It is a VR game and unlike other TCG, the duelist is also fighting alongside his summons by utilizing a Magic Eater Crest that literally takes and creates life. Each duelist may choose where on their body to put the crest, resulting in different ability for different part.

Masato's brother was Magic Eater world champion, but one day he disappeared without a trace. Following that, more duelists also disappeared all over the world. Months passed and Masato was reminiscing about his brother while checking a goblin deck given by his brother. He found a weird card mixed in and read the inscription. Suddenly he was transported to 1 of the dimensions of the game, Grim World.

[El Rue]

That summary reminds me of one of those "originally made for toy selling" franchise anime for kids actually.

[bakato]

Finally, a TCG story. I always thought the TCG trope had potential.

New chapter

Deathmatch with Black Widow who kidnapped MC's loli

[Rasty]

Does the MCs "good guy"ness get less annoying later on? I quite liked the beginning when I read it some time ago, but at one point this got so strong that I stopped reading it (I think it had to do with some healing potion at the time).

[wuhugm]

^Yes, it's improving

Reason

Coz he was betrayed by his allies due to his good guy-ness
Concerning the kidnapped loli case
He had to kill the betrayers

I also think MC is rather dumb and goodie
But it's not like author does not realize that
It was on purpose for growth

[Rasty]

^ Well this problem wasn't there in the beginning, but at one point it suddenly got really strong, I guess that is the point where the author decided to do the betrayal concept. Might try reading it once I get some time (starting to hate reverse engineering, takes ages).

[Akiraa]

I've read like 8~90 chapters of the series until dropping it. It was never good to begin with and I couldn't help but keep rolling my eyes on that 'war' with the frogs, especially the whole tree/godlike thing. I think it's pointless to have a tcg where the mc is OP and have no match whatsoever.

[wuhugm]

^Yea, the Fire Tree thing was kinda what the fuck!?

But well, they kinda want to make Magic Eaters as Supreme Being, so if not that tree then something else will produce the same effect.

He's not unbeatable OP though

[Akiraa]

^ Yeah, that edgy dude it showed on an scene earlier is definitely his brother and said that the world he is in is just one of the introductory worlds, making it low level.

While I do get it ME being stronger because they can 'eat' enemies, but he just outclasses everyone right out of the beginning, but I just don't get it making a tcg novel where you don't battle with other people.

[wuhugm]

Wow, the latest chapter is so great

The battle was so dramatic
Heroine and MC almost died

[wuhugm]

^MC really died

Killed by a chinpira lol

[wuhugm]

Cards are dead people
