illusion seems to be pretty directly inspired by Maplestory! right down to how grindy it is…. MS is still a cute game fhough, if you’d ever like to look into it.
as for other comics, if you like the general gamers to lovers premise, i’ve seen people say netkama punch is good!
Maplestory and Ragnarok Online for the games. Both are absolute pain in the a** to grind but it's cute, highly customizable characters, and still a decent amount of players even though the games are 20 years old (I checked and just felt my age).
I heard LaTale (On steam) is similar to MapleStory but I haven't personally tried it.
Elsword is also an option (been years since I played it) but it's quite limited on the customization iirc (maybe that was back then. Idk about now but I heard they have a new Character and gave away a lot of stuff for their 13 year anniv)
Though it's not free... Final Fantasy XIV. Customize-able Grindy and lots of things to do. People in FF14 can even get married and just have a farmer's life if they wanted to
Oh you guys recommended a lot ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ thank you very much! I'll read netkama and see if any of those games would pique my interest ♡
Anyone know similar games and manhwas? I'm so invested
