Surviving The Game as a Barbarian (Korean: 게임 속 바바리안으로 살아남기, RR: Geim Sok Babarian-euro Saranamgi) is a dark, gritty, and highly strategic fantasy webtoon and web novel written by Jung Yoon-kang and illustrated by Han-geun. It is widely praised for its brutal realism, complex world-building, and a protagonist who survives using meta-knowledge and cold, hard logic rather than "overpowered" cheat codes.

The story follows Lee Hansoo, a hardcore gamer who has spent ten years trying to beat the notoriously difficult RPG, Dungeon and Stone. When he finally reaches the boss room, he is sucked into the game and wakes up in the body of Bjorn Jandel, a Barbarian. In this world, being a "player" is a death sentence if caught, and the dungeon is a meat grinder where one mistake means permanent death. Bjorn must use his deep knowledge of the game's hidden mechanics to survive in a society that views Barbarians as meat shields.
