Is Ending Maker Worth Reading? Review & Where to Read
Two competent leads who already know the game inside out — that alone puts it a tier above most isekai-into-a-game stories.
Spoiler-light · Honestly rated
Every review labels its spoiler level, separates art from writing, and ends with an official way to read.
We use the whole 1–10 scale and judge each title against the best version of what it is trying to be — a comedy on how funny it is, a thriller on its tension — not against some other genre. As a rough guide: 9+ is all-time great, 8 excellent, 7 a solid recommendation with caveats, 5–6 mixed or average. A 7 is a genuine yes, not a knock. The “Community score” in each review is the crowd rating from AniList, MAL, and MangaUpdates, shown next to ours for comparison.

Commits to its support-class gimmick instead of quietly turning into another sword-and-magic power fantasy — that's rarer than it should be.

Everything goes right for Theo a little too easily, but watching a grimoire eat its way through the competition never stops being fun to look at.

Talent-swallowing premise, striking art, and a supporting cast that never quite catches up to either.

Demon king wants dinner and a bed, gets a monster-infested planet instead -- and the comedy that comes out of it is genuinely great.

Regressors with no cheat power are rarer than they should be, and that's exactly what makes the first hundred chapters worth your time.

The system and the art move fast enough to paper over a protagonist who's stronger than he is interesting.

Underrated for a reason -- the concept and cast carry it further than the truncated ending deserves.

Tournament arcs with an actual secret worth keeping are rarer than they should be -- that's what makes this one worth reading.

gegegek's creature designs do more heavy lifting here than the revenge plot does.

The setup, landing your dream character and then waking up as the worst one instead, is a great joke that the story turns into real, escalating stakes.

Decade-plus into its run, still one of the more distinctive folklore fantasy epics running, built on a genuinely mythic sense of scale.
