Trait Hoarder delivers a thrilling take on the power-progression genre, blending strategic gameplay elements with an intense survival narrative. Kim Joonsoo, a top-tier player in Arcane Seoul, is suddenly thrust into the world of his favorite game, but not as a hero—he becomes Warrior Kim, a weak tutorial character. With no pay-to-win advantages and only his extensive game knowledge, he must find a way to endure the game’s unforgiving mechanics.
His one advantage? The ability to swap traits infinitely. This unique system allows him to adapt to different combat situations, making his journey both dynamic and unpredictable. As he strategizes to gain strength and avoid deadly encounters, the story keeps readers engaged with fast-paced action, clever decision-making, and an underdog protagonist who refuses to give up. The fusion of game mechanics with a survival narrative makes Trait Hoarder a must-read for fans of the genre.
Plot of Trait Hoarder
Kim Joonsoo, a free-to-play ranker in the popular mobile game Arcane Seoul, suddenly finds himself inhabiting the body of Warrior Kim—the weakest tutorial character. Unlike other players who start as powerful heroes, Joonsoo is stuck with basic stats and no special abilities. However, his deep knowledge of the game’s mechanics gives him an edge, allowing him to plan his survival from the ground up.
Determined to turn his weakness into strength, Joonsoo takes full advantage of Warrior Kim’s one unique ability: infinite trait swapping. By carefully selecting and changing traits, he gradually builds himself into a formidable warrior, capable of overcoming challenges that would normally be impossible for a tutorial character. But as he grows stronger, he also attracts the attention of powerful enemies who see him as an anomaly in the game’s balance.
The story follows Joonsoo’s relentless journey as he navigates a merciless world, using strategy and wit to outmaneuver both the game’s mechanics and the dangerous figures who seek to eliminate him. With each battle, he inches closer to breaking free from his limitations, proving that even a tutorial character can rise to greatness with the right tactics.
