It really encompasses the journey of a reader tale and the different books he joins to complete his role. It does a really fantastic job at looking through the backgrounds of the different books.

This was such a hidden gem that I found while searching for world hoppingβ€”or in this case traveling into books! The tension and the plot are great, the characters are real and not just two dimensional. I love how our protagonist, Leo, uses his brain instead of charging in blindly into situations like many others do when they find out they have a system or something along those lines. There are hints of romance and it is well written and not rushed and as of chapter 350, no harem which is a plus for me. Anyways, it’s a fantastic read with a smart MC who finds his own path as a reader in these novels he travels into.

The story is about a guy who has a strange capacity for immersion when reading, this allows him to supernaturally capture the content of what he is reading. One day before your birthday From 18 years old, he gets a system, which sends him to the world of a book he had read before, in the body of an extra who would die right at the beginning. Basically the story consists of him traveling through the fantasy worlds he had already read, while he needs to fulfill a mission. Obviously he gains special abilities in the course of the plot. Now that I've explained the plot of the story, let's talk about the plot. The story is a mixture of POV with a narrator kind of observer (?), Anyway, I admit that the narrative style of the story is a little different but this difference fit in a sublime way with The story proposal, exposing the protagonist's thoughts, along with the plot of the story he is in, this allows us to know what we are reading and what will happen in the story. Of course, there are times when the narrator hides certain information to keep the air of mystery, even because, let's face it, there would be no story if we knew everything that will happen. The protagonist has an interesting personality, his attitude change is clear throughout the story (especially when he finishes the first book), this is not a story where The protagonist "steals" the position of protagonist of the story, they are on separate paths and it is rare that they meet again. But don't worry, because the MC goes through great adventures so He is no less "protagonist" for that. As a "world traveler" story most of the characters don't have extreme relevance to the story on a general scale, so they're not fully in-depth, but don't get me wrong They are indeed of paramount importance to the period of history, and have a fair amount of layers as far as possible. The characters are captivating, although it is not possible to get attached to the vast majority. Although it has a reasonable amount of chapters, we are still in the "prologue", so to speak. Overall I'm curious to see what the author has to offer, but what about

Only i am a reader is really a great story. concept of traveling to the worlds you have read about it very interesting and novel at least for me. Writing is good. Story is developing nicely and isnt rushed, though i would like a littlr bit faster progression. Characters are also quite interesting and enough thought is put into them, though mostly the story revolves around the MC and the story itself hasnt progressed enough to actually judge the side characters. World background is also interesting and i am looking forward to its further development. As for updates, the author udually uploads 2 chapters a day, however chapters are short and really add up to 1 chapter a day(idk ehy the author dorsnt merge the chapters and just put out one chapter a day, maybe it has some benefits this way idk). the problem is that some days there are no uploads, which is fine, but the fact that there is no notice that there will be nochapters is kind of a bummer. ( at least i havent found any notices and the authors discord is kind of dead so idk where to look). all in all a good interesting novel and definitely deserves a high rating.

Author were you unable to post this novel on another site? Because I and many people use the translator to read, but Webnovel put a program that is preventing me from reading translated, so I've been stopped for more than 1 month without reading, because I can't, this one and many others are like this, just the fanfics are translating normally. I stopped around 222, then I'm dying of curiosity, if you can post on another site for those who use the translator it would be of great help. (translated by Google translator)

Really love the story till now, I like how it basically takes every other β€œin a novel I read” novel and combines it into one by making it so that he goes to different novels but maintains some privileges so that he’s not back to zero and slowly progresses again.

You read a story and you don't like the ending. You also prepare your own end. So is this story. The reader changes the story he/she wants behind his/her name. Their stories are long and cliche.

Pretty unique concept. Spelling and grammar are very good overall. The main character's personality is logical. I like how the first world is a low level world but future worlds are slowly increasing in level. The sense of mystery in the real world is perfect. Honestly theres so many directions that this story could be taken to that im looking forward to it. Top tier original novel right here.

Finally something new and different. The novel's plot is very enjoyable and the updating stability plus the length of each chapter is also pretty good. There was not once that i was bored or weirded out in the novel. Keep up the good work.πŸ‘πŸ‘.

TLDR: This is the only β€œsystem” novel I have actually enjoyed reading. This is a well written β€œI know future events” novel with some twists. In OIATR, Leo (MC) travels to the worlds of different books he has read and has to achieve certain objectives to return to Earth. Each world he travels to is fairly unique and the writing is solid. The worlds and characters are getting more interesting as the novel progresses. I’ll probably come back and update once the second or third arc is completed. (Currently on ch ~230)

Honestly, it's been awhile since I found a novel that is actually good on this website. So, the novel is at chapter 211, but I can't really give my full thoughts on it yet. This is a infinity-world novel, where the main character can bring back items or skills he learns back into his own world. Fantasy simulator had this same exactly plot. So far, the two novels are extremely similar. The only thing I am hoping for is that the author doesn't completely neglect the main world. The writing quality is great, I don't have to re-word sentences in my head too much. The story development is great as well. The first arc felt like it was a real novel the main character was put in, and was very interesting and unique. The character design is good as well. The main character seems to me like hes still trying to find himself, but thats fine. The side characters are fairly okay? The first arc didn't really have any characters that traveled with the main character, so I can't really say that many of them were fleshed out, hopefully that gets better in the second arc. World background is fine as well. I feel like if that world did exist, it would look somewhat similar to what the book described. Overall, a good read. Hopefully it does not fall off later in the novel.

Writing Quality for this site this writing quality is mind-blowing in the grand scheme of things there are points to criticize, but if you're reading off of this website this is top-notch. Stability of Updates from what I understand from reading about the updates, they're rather sporadic in their timings; of course, this could be a problem of timezones but the timing on the updates always seems off for me, though they usually upload 2 chapters a day. Story Development, honestly, this story's development is really creative as it strings together the relatively uncreative stories into something more interesting with the reader (The MC) going through the various worlds and seeing the influence he has on them is still a wonderful experience. Character Design, unfortunately, this is where the novel dips a bit, as the characters are in my opinion too linear; their goals and ambitions and even their personality as a whole seem very rudimentary; of course, this novel still is leaps and bounds better than some of the stuff on this site but the character design is about at the quality you would expect from a weekly featured or a top novel on this site. World Background honestly this is always a complex thing to rate but I would say that the world background presented in this novel far surpasses what you would expect as the background of each world is thought out and well planned it's missing a stroke of brilliance from the writer in my opinion but it is still perfectly fine but it seems to be a missing inspiration but I can see why the author would have trouble finding a passion in his writing as each world are very different. Overall Review - Overall this is a good novel it's not something that I'd be checking every day but if I happen to be looking to read something this is pretty high up on my mental list the author clearly respects his work and is very professional in the way he writes things and he is a textbook standard author which can be both good and bad. Good in the way that he is meeting every expectation that I hold for my novels currently. Bad in the way that he's missing a spark of inspiration "A stroke of brilliance" so to speak, whether that be in some characters the story, the world, and sometimes even the MC himself is missing a certain spark that I believe would push this novel even higher than it currently is. (4.2/5) Hope this helps you decide whether or not to read this.

it's okay, i liked the idea at first, but the pacing felt very slow. combine that with short chapters, needless buffer paragraphs, and more introspection than really needed, it made me bored pretty fast. the author also has this weird obsession with putting ' around words that don't really need it in the first place, just a nitpick of mine. while the novel wasn't for me, the author does a great job in mostly everything, so give the novel a try at the very least.

I like this novel, it's a story about mc who likes to read books and then suddenly he becomes a character in a novel he's ever read. I have high hopes for this novel, there are several novels that use the same story concept, which is about MC who has to go through a scenario to become strong, but the story is getting more and more boring, because MC is too busy living a scenario that takes more than 100 chapters and the real world only highlighted 20 chapters.

As of chapter 113: A fun story. When the MC gets transported to a new world we actually get to explore it. It isn't just used as a quick plot point to skim over to give the MC OP powers. Excited to see what happens when he does finally return home and what the next world will be like. Definitely recommend
