i was really enjoying the book. the jokes are fairly good a little over done at points. but i really don't like scarlet. she started off okay but after a while she just became annoying and dragged the whole novel down for me.

The story was great at first but it got so boring till I started skipping chapters of *fights* to just see the end of the fight ,so much talk I thought there was going to be a twist somewhere but after 200 + chapters I dumped it .This work should be dropped.

I was shocked how no reviews point out how bad the lack of actual editing is in the initial chapters. There is little to no explanation of what is happening, just a massive info dump and random character names thrown at you without any connection fostered between the reader and the story. Hardly any world-building leads to large portions of chapters feeling tedious and a time waste to read. Bad sentence flow, poor wording and terrible jokes made me drop this. The overall premise of the novel is interesting. However poorly executed and very generic regarding naming.

Itā€™s just non-stop talking. Nothing much actually happens but talk after talk after talk between characters. I new at some point I couldnā€™t anymore. IF I canā€™t for free chapters, I wouldnā€™t imagine chapters Iā€™d have to pay. Not worth my time. Started off good and has an interesting premise, but wowā€¦ way to break the most basic rules of storytelling.

TLDR - a must read story. genre - action, mystery, smart mc, op villains. no face palming, or arrogant young masters here. This story has better world background than harry Potter series, Marvel, or even Greek mythologies. like harry Potter, there is a boy here, who has to fight against gods among gods. this is not a coming of age story like harry Potter, where the boy becomes smarter and mature with age. rather, the boy is brought back in time, and he has to be smart from the get go. even his allies cast curse on the boy, so that the boy will learn to use his head, and fight impossible situations with minimal strength. So in the start, you might feel that author is a super masochist, making things super hard for mc. I believe this story can create as many spinoffs and multiverses as marvel, for the gods and concepts here are that amazing. there is a literal God here whose purpose is to make everyone forget about things. he attacks with very weak minions, but the attack recipient forgets about the small pain, and so the recipients keep getting weaker with time, without even realizing they are getting weaker.. and the mc and his allies are literally called fate challengers, for the fate and destiny has set them up to be doomed.

I like the novel, but the CONSTANT 4th wall breaks AND constantly talking about how they are 4th wall breaks was so off putting that I dropped the novel.

Itā€™s an extremely fun story from what Iā€™ve read so far. However there are numerous small errors so if you need perfection in what you read this is not for you. Also there are a lot of pop culture references and 4th wall breaks, too many if you ask me, because despite having an in story explanation for all of them it ruins immersion and makes it seem a lot less serious. Regardless I would really recommend reading if what I mentioned doesnā€™t bother you too much.

this is my second review on this app and English is not my first language so there's probably a mistake in my grammar, but what I'm about to write here is a genuine review from me First the story, overall I really like the story so far, i really like it that me, a lazy dude who doesn't really like to write actually tried to write review. How you write the character interaction is really good. I also like how you write the gods, I don't know why but when I read it it's like i read a real ancient mythology like the Greek's Gods and etc. I can't really describe the feeling but I really like it. Speaking about gods, we can't ignore Calaminus right? You can say that he is my favorite character in this book, like come on... his fourth wall breaking joke, his personality, his interaction with Kyros, how you can hate him? oh right his jokes... but that doesn't mean you have to hate him, it wasn't even his fault he became like this (looking at you Hyperion). So yeah, i like this book. But author can you please write an auxiliary chapter for some detail of the story, like a description of some important place like the Lowland, Midland, etc. Or the power ladder. Actually please write the power ladder one, I usually forget what level is Captain, Champion, or Commander is so please really please.

Love this novel, the world is really well build and interesting to learn about. The characters are all interesting and the MC is not the only one facing real challenges nor the solution to everything. Yes he helps a lot but as the other characters grow they become strong enough to stand by themselves. Almost feel like they can be main characters. Its the first time I keep so many characters in mind. The plot is just top tier with an impressive mix of humor. Like the humor is not just a bonus, it's a whole part of the plot and that is godly! Many complained about the 3rd wall breaking jokes being too much and making them lost their immersion, but those jokes are parts of the story and it's interesting reading the antagonists react to them. Bro he programed his soul with **** and it somehow made sense šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ yes they take reference of our world but the why is explained and can be considered logical. In summary I highly recommend this novel

I really love the story, specially for the jokes and the 4th wall breaking, can't understand why so many seem to hate it cause they are very funny. I read the other reviews and some made me question if the really read much. Some said there is no character development but must be known that the Mc is already mentally adult and very experimented, you can't expect a character growth like a weak to strong novel. What is interesting is how he uncover the mystery of his birth and his mission. Although the character doesn't change much every one of them grow after each crisis. The background of the story is an impressive work and the info dumb is still interesting and easy to digest. Other than the "too many 4th wall breaks" argument as everyone has his own taste in humor and few understandable mistakes this is a great great novel

Look I read the story it was interesting in the first chapters until when he was reborn which it did not make sense to me. How can mc have a very character panel looks like the gamer panel. The character was very strong and but strong enough which is is good. The thing that ruined the story in opinion was the emergence of the system like panel.

Can't take the story seriously. The story itself seems serious and interesting but the jokes are too forced. The premise of the story seemed good but the jokes broke the balance. Would had been a good without the time God info dumping and making dumb jokes.

The author has a good sense of humor that weaves through the story (though a bit repetitive). The pacing is a bit slow for my liking but it is appropriate. The other characters seem to trust Kyros too easily. There is a lack of comparison for power. Are shadow ghouls supposed to have such a weakness seemingly made for the main character? How do different classes compare to each other? Why does 1 point of mana make such a difference? If mana is so much supperior to force then why was Kyros so strong as primarily force user or was it his magic capabilities that made him strong? I love the premise and writing style, but feel there are a few inconsistencies with the world that made me drop the story.

I think Iā€™m Around 25-30 chapters in and I just canā€™t Stick with it. Mostly because itā€™s Just power after power after power. Like I can understand since itā€™s A time travel Novel. But atm it feels like thereā€™s No substance In there. No actual plot.

This has to be one of the funniest stories I've ever read! At first, I wasn't sure... but having started, I just couldn't stop! I like how the author took time to explain the background of the world yet still leaves enough out of it to keep me hooked and guessing what will happen next! I love the references, 4th wall breakage, and especially how the MC isn't OP, he's just WAY above average.

this book is a basically an adventure book with loads of memes and pop culture reference. the author has a very unqiue form of humour that might not appeal to all. but if it does, youd love it. the story itself is also deep. beyond the sometimes corny jokes, it has an interesting world building and its a book that really shows how cultivators "fight against the heaven" instead of lightning tribulation, Fate and Destiny really wants to kill the mc and the mc struggles to overcome it despite being ridiculously op. i like the comedy so its a five star to me although author should be careful in applying comedy
