01. Life Howling

Genre– Action/ Fantasy/ RPG/ Based on a Novel/ Hiatus

But of course, he has to put his own life on the line to survive the dangers. Later on, he meets potential allies with their quirks and special abilities.

If there is most similar Manhwa to “The Gamer,” it’s life Howling the art style, and even the story is kinda similar. Since the novel version of Life Howling is available translated and it has reached 180 chapters at least. But I would still recommend the Manhwa, which has 57 chapters unless you don’t want to be spoiled.
