“Calling all gamers! Do you wannabe the next King of King Kingdom? Join today for the low, low price of… your life.” In the year 2052, King Industries created King Kingdom—the virtual game that accidentally developed artificial super-intelligence. As the world within King Kingdom grew and threatened humanity, the military called for Sentinels—experienced gamers who entered King Kingdom in hopes of defeating the Wannabe King. Riu Ito, a 17-year-old boy whose dream is to become a Sentinel and defeat the king, passes the V-Games, but not with the partner he started with. With his mother in tow, Riu struggles to come to terms with her past, the reality of their strained relationship, and his role in it. Together, they uncover secrets that could change the fabric of their world, forcing Riu to reevaluate what it truly means to be a hero. Will he rise to the challenge and restore his strained relationship with his mother, or will the game consume them both as he strives to become the next Wannabe King? My Mom’s a Wannabe King?! is a story about the journey to mend the bonds between a mother and son as they confront their fears and uncover the truth about themselves in a world where every choice could mean the difference between life and death.

Yo! I was just browsing NamiComi and stumbled on your novel, "My Mom's The New Wannabe King?!" First off, Alightnovelist is a great pen name. The premise you’ve got here is incredibly fun the whole concept of a high stakes, military adjacent VR MMO where a 17 year old kid is forced to party up with his literal mother to survive is such a hilarious, fresh spin on the usual LitRPG/virtual reality setup. Honestly, the contrast between the lethal AI super intelligence of King Kingdom and the deeply awkward, strained dynamic of a teenager trying to navigate a sci fi warzone with his mom is just gold.
That V Games passage where Riu passes but gets stuck with his mom as his partner instead of who he planned? That is begging for a visual adaptation. I can already picture the webtoon layout for it you have this epic, high octane action sequence of Riu fighting to pass the V Games, the visual tension of the military's Sentinel program, and then this absolutely priceless, comedic drop of his mom standing there ready to dive into the virtual world with him. Having those intense, glowing sci fi armor designs juxtaposed against a relatable mother son argument would look absolutely incredible in a dynamic comic or manga panel style.
