Fresh out of a breakup, game developer Woojin has little going for him. So when he hears that the middle boss of their game is based on him, he can't resist adding a few traits to make his virtual alter ego a tad more noble. Little did he know, he would soon end up trapped in said villain's skin! With a 1 in 1,000 chance of survival, Woojin now has to navigate the countless variables leading him to his impending doom. Will the tweaks he made to the character tip the scales in his favor?

Generic but Interesting

I like that the protagonist's main power-up comes from being forced (basically mind-controlled) to work hard despite being a deadbeat at heart.
