The Ancients World

Before I start this review I at the time of writing this have read up to chapter 150 out of 166 so marking this as spoiler for those who will read the reviews before reading this story. So if you don't want to be spoiled even after the spoiler warning then this is the last chance to turn back. (If you want to get my true opinion on the story you can just skip to the end if you don't want to read all of what is below) Overall this story has fantastic potential due to a great world that isn't your standard copy paste kind like in other stories. I know a lot of people had issues with the POV changes and the author addressed it on how they will handle it and how we the readers should. Which is great that the author is actually taking the time to read the reviews to get better and see what could be improved upon or what we the readers are pointing out, makes you feel like the author truly wishes to get better not only for themselves but for us as well so we can enjoy the story even more. With that being said I did have some issues with the POV changes but I've grown to appreciate some of them like whenever it switches to what the church (Pope or Saintess) are up to is great in my opinion since they are a major force in the world so it is interesting to see how things are developing on their end. Also with J&X without the POV changes to them we would be lost on why they are brought into this world but at the same time you could've saved that and made it something of a goal for Cera to track them down and find out what has happened rather than reveal it all to us the readers already either way is fine though I have no issues with how you did handle it. But others I feel I have no need to care for like creatureman and ghostzero I understand their story but I'm more interested in seeing Cera continue making progress since you've hooked me on seeing him develop more considering he is now I guess with them being brought over to Gaia truly not just a character that is the son of Michael but truly the son of Michael now so the time used on them just feels wasted as they were even introduced as just mercenaries hired in the war early on but given no reason to care for them after that short time with them then. Same with other alliance leaders I can understand the want to introduce them so we can see what is going on with other players but we the readers don't really have much reason to care for what others players do. It would be okay here and there or mainly only for major things like the roaming raid boss raid if Cera isn't apart of it. But as I've read farther I have noticed POV changes less frequently so I guess you already kind of realized you don't need to do it as much but do it enough that we still get to see what else is going on in the world. Keep it up though I am noticing an improvement in the quality which is nice to see. Something new I noticed which is really weird is Cera's mindset on things like when he meets up with his family after they all get transported to Gaia he doesn't tell them he is the divine class player everyone is looking for and doesn't do it until he is leaving. Yet he tells Sally a random half elf girl that was working in a inn with whom he has no attachments to at all but decides on a whim, Hey lets take her along with me help her get a legendary class and better gear also tell her that I'm the son of Michael, like it feels like such a odd thing to do she is a pretty weak resident of Gaia as well compared to others he has met so why tell her a nobody when even in the beginning of the story he was putting so much emphasis on making sure as little people knew about this. So she a tag along gets to know faster than his own family baffles me. Also I double checked and didn't find anything but there was no reason for him to bring her along with him it feels so forced like its trying to be his potential love interest and it hurts to see because it feels so forced. Yet we as the readers once again have no reason to care for her as she was abruptly introduced as just an inn worker no one special and not multiple encounters and enough time to want to see something between them. Also doesn't help you also had Hailey say what his type was to Snow Princess earlier and she very clearly is far from his type. So even after her suddenly catching feelings for someone she also didn't know until recently and then forcing herself on him and him somewhat letting her do it after rejecting her just didn't sit right after knowing he has a type and its not her and he has the strength to have not let that happen apart from her already being some random girl he's decided to pick up and give things she never would've had without his help and knowledge. For now though it just doesn't feel right how he told her such a big secret and then did so much to hold it back from his own family for no truly good reason. I get there is the chance of them being found out to be his family and forced to say who he is but they're currently trapped on a separate continent for who knows how long with only players and no player will want to do anything to his family since I'm sure they all know that there is no chance any of them could threaten him or would want to get on his bad side considering the power he has especially compared to the other legendary class holders. Who knows maybe later with more encounters and overall time with her around she may grow on me more but as of now I'm not a fan of how this whole time with her has been. But with all of that said there isn't much else that I could say that is bad about the story since it's still so young so the chances of it improving are very likely from what I have seen so far. I do wish to see more of that urgency that he had early on though to get stronger fast since it seems like he has last that in these chapters with Sally he could be doing his quest but is wasting time with this when he already will be calling on Fenrir to help him with the boss so if he a divine class who is a higher level with a legendary sword on par with swords like excalibur and durandel is deemed as far too weak to complete his quest then what help would a person who will only get a legendary class with fewer levels and worse equipment be able to add (maybe I'll find out as I keep reading but I guess you get my point). But he used to just go from one quest to the next and then to the next with the sole goal of getting stronger and leveling up quick yet now only tier one with no mana aura and sub level 100 it's not him being arrogant but it feels like it feels like he might be getting too cocky even though he should know full well that even with a OP class and OP sword it means nothing in front of the hermit, grandmaster, nelli, and Fenrir. He is still very far from being there but still you would think with his knowledge of the game from 5 years of it in his past life that he would be doing so much more and be on an even faster track to getting even stronger as he gets stronger so he can do even more things. Overall to wrap up this review since its getting too long I'll say these things about it. Should you read this? Yes you should! Why should you read this even after all I said was mainly things wrong I had with it? The author may make mistakes but they are improving and want us to help them improve so they actually care about this story and want it to improve for our enjoyment as well instead of just doing this to just do it and listen to their readers on top of that it is a great story with a cool world and a MC that makes steady progress in getting stronger and stronger! If that still hasn't convinced you to read it well I'm positive you will find yourself reading more and more even if you get mad about some stuff like I did I still found myself wanting to know more and wanting to know what happens. That is just how this story is the author has done a great job in making an interesting world that is filled with a lot of wonder and questions that you will be excited to see if they get answered I know I'm excited to see where this story will go and how this story will further develop! SO READ THIS STORY!

The story itself is not bad, it's a bit of a different take on your typical VR story. I'm personally just not a fan of the POV changes, the Family dynamic or the long traveling arcs. But that's more a personal preference than a criticism of the story itself. A major thing that bugged me is the lack of line brakes like : --------- or …......... for a new POV shift or the transition from Game to real-world, it is not necessary but it makes reading much simpler. An other point is the lack of reason, i didn't get a clear backstory of the MC or most of his family, 61 ch. into the story and we basically don't know much of why he is doing what he is doing. Was 5 years into the future really so bad ? What is his motivation? Without at least a better driving force it feels like the MC is just a kid that plays the game and makes a bit if money nothing more. And last but not least, the mental Age of the MC . How old is he exactly? The way he handles his Family issues make me think that he is mentally no older than maybe 20. That isn't in line with someone who has gone thru hard times and lost his family. But all in all upuntil this point the story is good, it's more my personal preference that is a bit different and I enjoy his actions in the game more than any of the IRL interaction he has. will read more the next few days. 4/5 stars

story has been great so far till he met a half elf girl in a pub or something somehow he ask her to be his travelling partner and reveal his secrets to her at the same time giving her a legacy class i don't get it isn't he supposed to be careful and be suspicious to everyone even though they're an npc they're still real living beings and now he just gives away almost all his secrets just because she was a cheery girl with and honest personality in his eyes? i felt like he just drops away all his guards to a girl in a pub for some reason

Pathetic MC. At about 50 chapters the MC decides to give all the gold he still haves to a random beggar on the street insted of actually doing something useful with the money. Always trying to help and stuff its honestly just too much for me can't continue reading the book it sucks because it has an interesting plot. Read at your own risk if you enjoy the basic hero trying to help every body MC well this is a good read. Please note that i am at chapter 50 so it might change in the future idk.

I really like your story.The world background and the lore is really interesting and the mystery is alright too. But just one problem i have. As of now im at chapter 178. And recently the MC is becoming less and less likeable. He is someone who stole a class that isnt supposed to be his. His actions brought in a lot of consequences resulting in billions of lives being at stake, and he knows it. But our MC who is supposed to be a humble dude keep running away from his responsabilities. And he justifies it with "i have free will". Yep you have free will. But when you nake a choice, you gotta deal with the consequences that come with it. Also what is his deal with him and killing people? Just because they know your identity he is gonna kill everybody, even though not all of them are hostile to you? Dude is supposed to be humble even though he is 24/7 being an as* and being rude to people. Really want to read your book, but if i dont like the MC, it really put off my reading enjoyement, wich is a pity because like i said your book is really good.

someone told me to watch boruto as its great but I'm sure that isn't true but they also recommended that I watch The Misfit of Demon King Academy but how can I believe that's a good show when they recommend boruto to people
