I Was Just Doing Push-Ups When I Got Dragged Into a Dragon Realm
Han Jihoon was just your average manga-obsessed dropout who stuck religiously to his "One Punch Routine."
No magic. No job. Just 100 push-ups a day and a dream of becoming someone extraordinary.
But when a mysterious gate opens above Seoul and monsters pour into the world, things take a sharp turn.
While saving a kid, Jihoon unexpectedly awakens — not just with powers, but with a stat window only he can see.
Then, as if fate wasn't done playing games, he’s sucked into a second gate…
…and dropped straight into a dragon realm ruled by two powerful (and annoyed) dragon guards.
No class. No weapon. No idea what’s going on.
Except… he's read enough manga to know:
This is just the start of a broken MC arc.
With sarcasm, stat screens, and sheer stubbornness, Jihoon is ready to defy fate itself —
and maybe do some push-ups while he’s at it.
Wow, what a stunning beginning! From the very first paragraph, this novel pulled me in with its vivid descriptions and strong narrative voice. The world-building already feels rich and immersive, and I can sense that there's so much more waiting to be explored. The characters, though just introduced, already show depth and potential—especially the protagonist, who has such a compelling presence even in these early scenes. I love how the pacing keeps a steady rhythm, balancing intrigue and exposition perfectly. It’s rare for a story to grab attention so quickly and make the reader genuinely curious about what happens next, but this one does it effortlessly. If this is just the start, I can only imagine how powerful the story is going to become. I’m truly excited to follow this journey chapter by chapter. Keep up the incredible work!
From the first line, this hooked me. Han Jihoon is instantly likable—an underdog with dry humor and big manga protagonist energy. The pacing is on point—from casual slice-of-life to apocalyptic chaos in just the right beats. The awakening scene gave me chills, and the transition into the dragon realm? Wildly cool. The setting feels fresh but familiar, and I love how the stat windows and skill reveals are handled—slick, stylish, and totally hype. Also, the writing voice? Clean, confident, and immersive. That final moment with the dragons transforming and Jihoon just standing there like he's ready to tank it all? Peak shonen energy. This reads like a love letter to fans of Solo Leveling and isekai done right. Can’t wait to see how this “level 1 nobody” levels up. Subscribed instantly.
What an absolutely gripping start! Chapter 1 pulled me in right from the first line with its vivid imagery and intriguing setup. The pacing was perfect—just enough detail to build the world without slowing the momentum. I already feel connected to the main character, and I love how their personality comes through naturally in the dialogue and actions. The writing is smooth, and your choice of words adds a cinematic quality that makes the scenes easy to visualize. The ending of the chapter left just the right amount of suspense to make me want to dive into the next part immediately. You’ve done a fantastic job creating a hook that doesn’t rely on clichés but on strong storytelling and character depth. I’m genuinely excited to see where this story goes. Keep up the amazing work!
