this novel is amazing, absolutely beautiful however the MC is a idiot that makes stupid deals and can't think properly he acts like a child even though he is 25 and supposedly has many years of experience in the gaming community however it is clear that he almost has no clue what he is doing as he gives away his advantages and benefits that help him grow without a second thought. i love the world building and where the story was going however after not killing his opponents in a TOURNAMENT and then signing a contract where he owns 4 people a favour with no limit except that he mustn't be killed or harmed just for a few beast cores and also gives up all of his remaining beast cores it is just so frustrating then he gives away his teachers mana circulation method without a second thought and just openly shows all of his cards and weakness i would expect this if the MC was supposed to young a clueless like the start of cultivation online but this guy is a 25 year old man that has apparently been gaming for over 10 years he should know the community and what is worth and what inst.

This novel is a pretty decent read but there are some aspects that really bothered me. 1) The dialogue. Listening to kindergarteners and elementary school kids interact would be more interesting than the social interaction in this novel. It's severely lacking in flow and feels very "basic" as another review said. 2) The MC himself. His decisions felt so frustratingly dumb, you'd wonder how the guy is a grown adult. His combat master almost died because MC wasted time asking questions when he was instructed to run away. They had just finished struggling to defeat one wolf and the rest of the pack was coming and MC was asking dumb questions like "Isn't it just some wolves? Why do we have to run?" They only survived from luck. Another time, during the tournament, after catching the enemy who had been shooting at him, he threw the guy away instead of finishing him off. This was during a battle Royale, mind you.In regards to the grammar, I have no complaints and the plot itself looks interesting. Just these two things made the novel difficult to read for me.

one of the best stories for the gaming genres.i believe it is my favorite out of its good peers.it pulls a second MC and makes it somewhat different from a great story like The Author's POV.We have the regular MC doing his thing. then this MC giving us a great story. i have just one complaint here. like everyone who wants to hate religion. this novel goes ahead and turns the Christian God into the story's villain....... couldn't you have done like others and make a completely new or random deity? sure you put your own twist on your gaius. but you've made sure to clarify that in our world he goes by God. (i have been fair with my review and not let that bias drop the score. still)why

I enjoyed the book for the first 150 or so chapters, but I think the author started to rush the romance as well as using violette to force the development. Overall, the book is good, but I feel like the later chapter gets boring, and the romance is forced.

After reading close to 180 chapters, I can say that the plot feels so rushed with tons and tons of fight scenes, new characters suddenly appearing without having time screen to development, to make us readers digest things. The story lacks a bit more of balance between action and narratives.

good, but it feels as though our mc isn't the mc, as there's a regressor in the story who's taken rank 1, and who won against our mc with ease, dropped after that.

Simply impeccable. This is one of those novels that give you hope for the entire web novel medium. While this is not a new genre by far, the level of quality across the board makes this one of the most interesting and addictive works I've ever read. Not to be dramatic, but New Eden is one of those books that make you feel like you've been blessed from the gods of literacy themselves. If you don't check out this masterpiece, you might as well tear out your eyes because obviously you don't deserve them. 🤷🏾‍♂️

To an experienced authors, I want some advice for creating a novel. How many word counts do I have to achieve in each chapter? Do I have to start in building my characters growth? Advice in having better world building development? Something like that. This is a respectful request, I want to create my own novel that both of us can enjoy.I am creating as a way for my passion to be a writer and what's better than to ask you guys. I am thankful for your kind thoughts in answering my concerns. Hope you have a good day fellow readers and authors.

Ok. First of all, I don't want to offend the author with this review. Secondly, I'm going to review the first 20 chapters. With that said I'm implying that the book will surely improve in future chapters, as the author gets experience but judging by the first 20 Ch I have to say I didn't like this. First, the fact that the MC wants at all costs become a pro player is stupid, at least in my opinion. I don't think some people would really want to try a path with no certainties in a situation where he has no money and doesn't know how to survive. Aside from that, the story itself is nothing new. Aside from the fact that the MC chose a difficult race, there is nothing innovative here. The world-building seems pretty standard, again nothing new. The fact that the MC meets the weapon trainer and the mage "trainer" at the beginning already points to where the author wants to go, but it is another clichè, even the I Got the Masters is a whole clichè. As for the plot itself, where does it lead? What is it that makes it different from other books? Then, the writing quality. Ok, there are not many grammatical errors, yet the MC talks in a weird way with the NPCs, in a totally different way from real life and different compared to how he talks IRL. Then, the fights: essentially Here is the enemy, here is the enemy status, here is a couple of skills, enemy felled. It is rather simple. Notice: This is just my personal opinion. I'm by no means trying to offend or saying my words are absolute. This is an opinion. Feel free to disagree and to read.

at first the MC development is nice, however this is quickly offset by the amount of back and forth chapters between the MC and other characters. It feels less like a story about the person you want to read about and more like collective shorts.

The story is pretty good. the only really bad side that I can see is the MC and the random just chapters about random people we don't even know. sometimes we do know them, but most of the time they're random but back to the MC he acts like a child even though he's an adult and he makes irrational decisions sometime. He also can't keep his emotions in check even though he literally learned about emotional control a couple of chapters ago. then a couple chapters later he loses control of his emotions again but overall this is a good read.

I stopped at around 80. Too many dumb things happen not to mention the CONSTANT POV changes thought the story. How are you supposed to focus on the story when every other chapter is about different characters that have literally no impact on the story as it is now. When the mc made an absolutely insane deal I just couldn't read anymore. Who in their right mind would make a deal where he owed an open ended favor to not just 1 person, but 4. The worst part is that what he got in return was nowhere near worth it. The story had my attention at the beginning but just got more difficult to enjoy. The story is probably good but it hit every little thing that I hate to see in a novel.

It’s pretty but the main characters race is not explained in any way, he seems to just be a human and the ash part has nothing to do with his powers. Another huge problem is that he acts like the game characters are real, why would I care about some random npc.

If you like fast paced development, this is the book for you. If you just want to see how overpowered people can get, this is the book for you. If you like the main character having secrets he has to hide from people, this is the book for you. Although things can get dragged out a bit, enjoyable book. Also even though the book is fast paced, there is a lot of world development in the book so the fact that it is fast paced actually helps.

All in all, this is super good, the story development is preety slow, but I really lik that fact, nonetheless, other readers may not appreciate it, so 4 stars for that, the rest is super good thou, every important character has a background story that slowly comes to light. I love Dave, like it’s rare to see another person regress and not the mc, the way you portray him, as a person with heavy ptsd, aswell as a bit of a contradicting personality, the sudden mood changes he gets that really make you feel the trauma he has, the dynamic between the mc and Dave, that they don’t really trust each other much and Dave uses the mc and the mc knows it, agrees to what Dave does, but doesn’t like his methods because he can’t really understand his thought process, aswell as the mc beeing a butterfly affect of somebody else, an unexpected but welcome variable in daves plans etc., I guess I’m rambling, don’t let me start with the world building and all the suspense you create or I would start writing a 5 pages in depth analysis with proper form etc., there are like 4 novels+fanfics(yes one star war fic is included you should know which one I mean) on webnovel that I really fell in love with and this book joined these ranks👌🏾, best of luck author. I wish you luck and well-being(this is my third acc, but on my first I got like 2000hours reading on webnovel, so I really mean it)
