This review is at chapter 70~ (minor spoilers) Honestly, this novel is pretty good and I suggest giving it a read, but it most definitely isn't for everyone. All the bases of a good novel are hit like a good power system, interesting concept, lots of things to be discovered, etc.) The more glaring issue, and honestly why some people will drop this novel, is the MC. To put is plainly, the MC is more or less an idiot consistently. For some reason, the author makes him 25 years old when his actions are more in line with someone who is around 16. He constantly craves validation yet acts like a man child several times. To top it off, in a tournament, for reasons purely chalked up to plot contrivance, doesn't kill two of his enemies. The author excuses this by saying he isn't focused on killing but exploring and seeing new things. That doesn't make any sense because...you know... he is literally in a pvp tournament and used to be top 1% in a pvp centered game. I will keep reading because I hope, maybe naively, that the MC won't stay a complete idiot for long and the rest of the novel is pretty cool.

Amazing. Simply amazing. Absolutely, undeniably, utterly amazing. The writing is great, only some grammar mistakes here and there. The character development is very good, you can clearly sees Alex developing nicely through the 220-ish chapters I’ve read through. The author also doesn’t just focus on the main characters. The side characters are also very likeable with their own backstories and personality. I see that world development is going great, with Earth slowly expand logically into the magic universe. The mystery of what is really happening is keeping me on my toes. I must say…the first 10 or so chapters were quite…dull, but it quickly speeds up and sucks you in. A 10/10 on my bookcase, certainly.

This look quite good. Finally a Virtual reality type novel where mc is not reborn or regressed back in time where he knows all the things which become boring real fast.

I enjoyed what was free. grammar is better than 99% of the stories on here. The story progress slow at times and the author likes to switch to other characters POV a little to much for my taste since they don’t seem relevant yet to the MCs story. No real world building in the game world yet other than the village where the MC is. No clue on what races live where or world events that are happening. Wish the author luck though

This book has an odd tendency to split to several other characters that, as far as I can tell, have no connection to the Mc. It also bounces back to day 0 over and over for them . not sure it adds anything to the story overall...

I love this story! The writing quality is top notch, updates come every day. The story itself is captivating and the characters are lovable. I can only recommend it! I also love that the author always answers questions or comments (if there are no spoilers involved ofcourse). Thank you for creating this and keep it up!

I don't understand why he seems to get more dumb when he's with the side characters. And him teaching others an important skill like mana breathing is like too stupid, but at the same time understandable since he has no real knowledge of how rare the skill is. Tbh i think mc is too naive

I like it starting of the novel interesting mc was near top 1000 not best player however he has enough skill to be a top gamer in any games. new game mc took a risk no cheat like system helping or error getting him a secret class or any other common trope which i appreciated Spoiler: Number 1 player in new game is a regressor who died and is back so that humanity dosent perish again some conmection with this new game same repeating plot i just hope author can execute it well otherwise it will just get bad however as currently stands many plot wholes writing gaps and time skip of info between chapters the flow isnt consistent otherwise no complaints a good read

Nobodies mentioning it so I’m going to. This story suffers in only one way and that’s the social interactions. They feel very childlike and basic. Also the mc has some annoying traits as far as social interactions go and it’s off putting. Otherwise it’s a decent read.

the novel is interesting, but the mc is a little dumb. He's literally in a tournament, with his enemy held by the throat. And instead of killing her, he simply waste time talking, until she kicked his balls and fled. and in the chapter 50 +/- the side chapters begin to get more frequents.

Only read a few chapters, but what I can say, this book is creative. Usually I don’t pick up video game novels on here, but this one drew me in. Galanar has a way with words and I already know the character development and action will only get better. The world building flows like a live action and I have to remind myself I’m reading. 😱 don’t pass this up, and the author definitely deserves gifts, golden tickets, and power stones. He literally shoots chapters out for his fans, and let me tell you. More than two chapters a day is defficult for me even. So please support him! The more time he has to be able to sit and type at the computer the more chapters you’ll get. Let’s get him at the top. πŸ‘

I'm absolutely addicted to this ongoing WebNovel! The author's writing is so descriptive that I feel like I'm right there in the story with the characters. The world-building is so well-crafted and the characters are so relatable that I'm emotionally invested in their journeys. I can't wait to see how this story ends and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves an ongoing read!

Don't know where to start from. So I'll start from anywhere. 1) The writing quality got me like... Wow. Don't know about you, but I didn't see any error while reading. So good job author 2) The story development is on a whole different level. Hope you keep it up. 3) Character design is perfect. Especially our Alexander the first. 4) Despite the time and dedication our author is putting in this novel. He still updates everyday, what a perfect author. 5)World background; It is so perfect, that I feel like reincarnating there. Still hope on God anyway.

Fellow Game Genre Author Here! I have my own book that I'm writing in this genre with a similar start and I can tell this author is going to take a new route and divert from cliches. At least that's what I see so far @3 chapters. I wanted to take my game novel a different route and I am happy to see that someone else is doing the same! I am very curious to see how innovative this book gets. Because we need creativity and fresh ideas. As for the update frequency, it's still too early to tell but I will add to my collections so I know when he updates. His writing, story development and character are looking good so far. As for world building, I hope to see more in the future. I want to see how he builds his/her game world. It's still too early to tell if we will be getting a proper game world so I will not deduct any star for that at the moment. It's a thumbs up from this bro!
