Summary
A brief description of the manga I Levelled Up by Becoming an Influencer:
Akisora Shuu was granted the title of “Appraiser” in a society where success in dungeons affects your social standing. Nobody is interested in his talent since it is a never seen before class that is not suitable for combat. He thus has a routine and boring existence.
He instantly leveled up one day after posting a video revealing details about a creature he had evaluated in the dungeon. It transpires that this was due to the fact that he received a portion of his viewers’ victories against the monsters he had filmed. He rushes into the dungeon to save the person who means the most to him now that he knows how to level up indefinitely!

Bookmarked? Yes.
Oh dear, a manga plot line that has adapted the art-style of a manwha; this shouldn’t work, but it somehow scrapes by. Putting aside the clear difference in art styles, the plot and characters are what you’d expect in a manga with them being cliche/generic.
The plot is on the crueler side of the struggle spectrum of the mc. To elaborate, most of the fights end up with some form of difficulty or casualty. However, as expected, there is plot armor that kicks in the last minute to protect the cast of main characters. There’s also an abundance of plot holes or misalignment of the power scaling as one moment some enemy or teammate gets hyped up to be the most powerful but becomes weaker out of nowhere and vice-versa. Obviously this detail causes a lot of frustration as a reader and “facepalm” moments.
The characters, as noted before, aren’t so unique and do not possess much depth, but they are sufficient enough to sympathize over. The mc can also be seen as inconsistent because of his volatility of intelligence, but he is still made to be human after all.
In my honest opinion, this manga would’ve benefited more from the typical Japanese art-style and panel arrangement as the art in this manga is a bit crude while lacking any of the character depth or hints that are trademarks of a manga. It’s still enjoyable, but it does lack diversity or uniqueness that cause it to be memorable or obsession worthy.

0 – “Did they even give you a story?!”
I usually don’t leave reviews anymore but this one needs one to appreciate it. I expected some generic “omg influencer rude mc levellin up, killin bullies, revenge, becoming emotionless”.
But it actually gets better by chapter, with actually nice twists and characters who aren’t jerks. Mc is a nice guy who wants to help people, not a coward but a brave guy. The story at beginning is sorta cliché with few differences from other stories like the fact they make a more logical way of how he levelled up instead of just, boom, magic system gives you level for views. Mc is not that retarded either to say.
I’d say it’s heavily underrated because I feel that it deserves atleast 4.5-4.7/5 in the site
It’s not a big complex story but one you can certainly enjoy reading and get excited for. The characters get more interesting as it progresses,by the latest chapter I’m in(31).
I am neutral so my personal rating would be 8.1/10 which is pretty high for something i thought was a generic levelling up type
TL;DR: it’s nice, underrated, enjoyable, not bad, read if you’re bored or want a not so complicated and easy story
MANGA with MANHWA Art style?
I am in!!!!
its so amazing to me that no matter how good a manga/manhwa is some people still find faults in it and be like
“From my expertise the story is not that good and the progression ….” Blah blah blah as if they have written countless award winning novels, manga or manhwas.
Ofc I do admit there are some shit manhwa/mangas
The only readable manga (with manhwa style) so far.
Well that took quite an ironic turn, plot armor saves the day .
Last chapter almost had me fill my anger cap on MC stupidity.
OK this is kinda stupid and even tho I have quite the tolerance for MC stupidity , that goes a bit to far. Every standardly educated person knows that u gotta stay above 50% shares to have the leverage on decisions and them trying to split it up that much should instinctively feel sus.
Yea progression is a bit fast, even tho I get that he got hella xp form all the vids. It’s still good but if it stays good or not depends on how the author continues with the power scaling etc.
Let’s see where this goes boys
LOL There u have it … going for REVENge without any kinda research lol
Hey you you piece of shit 💩 when the hell are you starting the attack scenes 🤬🤬
Duh, duh, duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh
i- i –
At least IMO, it makes more sense of the coma be induced by something like that than ‘dungeon sickness’. I’m not a medic or anything like that but coma induced by physical injuries are something way more likely than a disease
Don’t care about the dis/likes, so I’m gonna say it straight. This one is garbo.
I read it till cap 40, only for the artwork which is really to my liking. But character, plot and writing in general is insufferable. If you’ve read plenty of works, there will be absolutely nothing new in this one, and the amount of shameless cliches per chapter will make it progressively harder to expect something interesting down the line.
MC is naive, stupid and only survives thanks to his skills that spoon feed him all info that he just says out loud and then everyone is like “oh my gawd, he’s so great” (kinda how everyone loves a president that tries his best to read off a teleprompter, except MC has that typical MC serious face when he does that). Cast is made of cartboard, no decent backstories, no character development, they are not alive outside of the view. World building had an attempted, but then just didn’t.
It really feels like a great attempt at replicating a plotline of a common 3rd rate manga that plagues the stores. In this sense it’s a success. Boring, plane, unsophisticated and stupid, but looks cool and look, one guy said a “Rise” and reanimated a corse, that sure is original, right?)
It’s honestly my first time seeing something this bad with 4.1 stars, it should be 3.6 on a sunny day.
