A brief description of the manhua I Became The King by Scavenging:
Good news, it has been detected that your profession is a hidden profession. Bad news, your hidden profession is one in ten thousand: ‘Trash.’ You are about to change jobs to… ‘Scavenger.’ Ye Qing felt a white flash before his eyes upon seeing the results, all his years of effort went down the drain. Borrowing money at high interest rates to speculate on stocks and losing it all, thrown into a private hunting group by creditors to work off his debts in the dark.
After defeating a Demonic Beast that was supposed to be impossible to kill, that instant influx of experience points allowed Ye Qing to level up from 0 to 1, triggering the only job change opportunity in his life… But unexpectedly, the profession he awakened to was the globally one in ten thousand hidden profession—’Scavenger.’ All the talent trees are centered around the bizarre profession of ‘picking up trash.
As of Chapter 83, if it is as it shows at the end of chapter, than i can only give 1 star to this, and not suggest anyone to read this. crazy disappointment..
“It’S a SoLo LeVeLiNg CoPy” And you’re a copy of the milk man. Shut up, Read the story and go ask your mother why you look nothing like your father.
Don’t bother reading this. First few chapters draw you in with a half-attempt at a SL copy with decent art, but the art gets subpar and the dialog becomes how every Chinese series is with walls upon walls of exposition. The Mc will be by himself in a dungeon and still give a verbal thesis statement on why the monster he’s fighting is easy to deal with. Keep in mind that the translation isn’t the best either, so you’re basically just reading paragraphs of broken English back to back.
There are also tropes that just aren’t done right, like how the Mc constantly wants to be low key and stay hidden from fame, but doesn’t bother hiding his abilities. Whenever questioned, he just says he’s an average scavenger. I get that this can be funny in the right context, but to be it’s just so overdone and annoying.
I get that people miss SL; I do to. But are you really going to try to fill that void by reading (really just speed scrolling without reading) a low quality copy that doesn’t do anything new?
Idk I liked it, it was kinda disappointing that he got instantly as strong as an S rank tho
“Its a copy of solo leveling” WELP WHADDYA KNOW I LOVE SOLO LEVELING
H3avenly8lood1ord is right it is kind of a copy of solo leveling
If anyone recommend solo leveling to anyone to read then state that it will give you derangement that you will always compare solo leveling to everything. Your brain just stops working and should stop reading any other manhwa. Previous comments in here and under some chapters comments is proof of the derangement people have comparing everything to solo leveling.
I have read solo leveling but i am not deranged as i am not so brain dead to have this as a issue. I see all stories different but similar as a style like a genre action adventure fantasy and never mind that the solo leveling was not even the first that made that concept of story
This story gets really annoying after like chapter 21 cause they just skip the end of a fight. MC get a mission screen then ask some other dude to buy him 5 seconds time and then they skip all of it including the reward. Then around chapter 26 each chapter have a flashback like 3 different characters. Never mind that for some reason MC got really weak even tough should have like 300 points on strength. Regeneration skill is with cooldown that is a joke. That should be something that has no cooldown and get activated when get damage. If it has a cooldown then it needs to be a skill like full heal or something.
Well for my future self i left it at chapter 40 as last chapter that is released at this time

5-The Best
I Give this Manhua a 3/5 after reading all available 26 chapters. It’s good. It’s a blatant Chinese Copy of Solo Leveling. Though, there’s a bit of China coming out, like the “Hate” for Capitalists and how they call places “People’s” something something. Like “People’s Hospital”. It’s communist Bullsh1t.
It’s an Good Read. But it’s not without problems. Like, the MC is a bit of a dumb 
Aside from that, the Art is Great, and it has potential to be better. But I’m not hoping until I see something better.
Sure the first two chapters is quite similar to solo leveling but the MC and the story is truly his own after that
So…is it a ripoff or it’s a straight up copy but inferior of not only Solo Leveling, but other hunter, gaming, aura, stuff 🤔.
Uggh a Solo Leveling clone. Why can’t they at least copy cat good manwhas ?
The story is very much in the same vein as solo leveling but its currently without the background hidden agendas unless the ‘cards’ they find as loot somehow become like the artifacts… still a very good read.
So basically this is a solo leveling ripoff
Solo levelling rip off? Only if you’re an idiot. Worth reading? I would have said yes…. until chapter 83. The ending was so rushed, like the authors were given 2 weeks to finish up.
If it had reached 150-200 chapters it’d be a clean 8/10 with this ending… 5 sad faces out of 10
