Wait. Sounds kind of familiar, doesn't it?
Hello, new readers, this is the author. Let's get this out of the way first.
Say, you've read at least one of the following:
- Reincarnation of the Strongest Sword God
- MMORPG: Rebirth of the Legendary Guardian
- Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed The World
When you read this novel's first 2-3 chapters, you'll immediately find the beginning similar: "Serious business" VR game + MC gets killed + MC reincarnated/ time traveled/ respawned/ quick-loaded/ groundhog-dayed + time for REVENGE!
Then you'll dismiss it as yet another rehash. Well, fair enough. I failed to make a good first impression. Then perhaps you'll drop a few dozen 1-star reviews. That is not cool. Please don't do that. Just 1 review is enough for me to know you don't like this novel.
The point I'm making is, if you read past the 4th chapter, you'll see that it's not another rehash. At least, that's what I try to avoid doing.
For example, you won't find the following:
- MC with perfect memory and phenomenal luck, who gets showered with super rare loots that only drop like 0.001% of the time.
- Super OP MC that steamrolls everyone with ease.
- Female characters who fawn over MC because (1) he gives them lots of stuffs and (2) "He doesn't drool over me although I'm super beautiful! That makes me angry... and aroused... for some reason!" and (3) not much else.
- Delusional villains who gloat and then get face-slapped (at least, not many of those, perhaps one per 70-80 chapters)
- Laughable game mechanics. Examples: (1) Dying locks you of the game for 24 hours (2) It's possible to spawn camp someone and kill them back to level 1.
- etc
What will you find here, then? Well, I guess you'll have to read to find out :).
I'm not dissing those gaming novels. I'm inspired by them, and want to take that basic premise and do something new with it.
If you can look past the first 3 chapters, cool! Hop on! Adventures await! Otherwise, well, have a nice day, regardless!

Whew, that's a long rant! Now, time for the synopsis.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
In 2042, the Virtual Reality game Epoch of Liberty (EoL) is a worldwide phenomenon, with a player base of 500 million and an in-game economy comparable to Russia.
Mahn Li, the top player of the guild Scourge, was betrayed by his closest friend Fatty Fu - murdered in the real world. The in-game business was tied with the real-world business. And business, as they say, was war. Mahn Li was simply another casualty…
… Until he inexplicably woke up in the body of his 22-year-old self - one week before EoL went live.
"Is this my second chance?" He asked himself: "What should I do?"
"Should I find a job? A real one? Be a good, productive member of society? Live a meaningful life? Forget about the 10 years of my life lost in endless battles in a virtual world?"
"F*CK THAT!!!"
"I’m gonna wreck all the bastards responsible for my death! And Fatty Fu! Wait until I get my hands on your slimy neck!"
Aiding Mahn Li on his quest for vengeance is his knowledge of the future. Using it, he will get the sickest, baddest gears in the game! The most powerful of them all is an artifact that is a little bit out of place in this fantasy-themed game.
A gun.

Writing Quality is great, there are no rough sentences, easy to understand and the way you write the fighting scenes are good.(Kiss Of Death, Oof... I remembered DitF) Stability Updates are also good, I assume you update almost everyday. Story Development is also good, the pace is good, the fighting are good... Though, I think some of the elements are already used though, but there's no harm done, it is still unique it it's own way. Character Design is good, in Ch1, there are already too many characters, there are those that are based on some Movie or Greek mythology(Thrain, son of Thor, Oof.. Reminds me of Lord of the Rings) World Background is good, futuristic world with advance gaming technology...Seems. great. GOOD WORK AUTHOR, KEEP IT UP. *THUMBS UP*
Simply too bad! One cliché behind the other .. Slap in the face? What a joke! Where is the content of this? Lose of total time! There's nothing clever about this garbage!
I have to say that i didn't ecept this novel to be this good , this novel had beaten me into submission , forcing me to give this review and to add it into my library
I like the concept, but it really identical to the novel,"World Online" were mc is also betrayed by his closest friend in-game then wakes up a week before the game launch. But yeah, this novels good one.
If you're looking for something cliché, slap the bastard's face! So this is your beach ... Good luck! I only sincerely hope you do not regret it later like me!
I'm following up and from what I've seen so far, it's a very generic theme with the same things that every cliche novel has ... When we say cliché it's not in the bad sense, it's simply that something new is missing, something that sets a novel apart from other. I think I've had enough of all these novels to tell the truth. Sigh...
I'm done with it. Beginning to be repetitive and without new ideas. I just regretted wasting my time reading this! Anyway, good luck and do not get discouraged with my insignificant comment, only each one has its own taste.
It true later on it is a little different,but point is you just took different idea from different novels and made it a little better. I prefer some more original ideas. No matter how you wrap something more beautifully,it is still the same item. Plus this character design is nothing new. Plenty of them out there that are similar like him. For me it is just too edgy and cliche.
You said it’s not cool to read 1 chapter and drop 1 star reviews? Your right, that’s fucking gay. Whoever does that should kill themselves. What is cool though, is not reading a single chapter and drop a 5 star review. You ask, why is that cool? Because it just is, don’t question it. So now author, I ask you a question. How’s your day?
Really interesting! Supporting my buddies excellent new work! It may be just for fun - because it is a really fun read! Now to overcome the barrier called 140 words minimum. Here's a story. It was late at night. Zeref had just closed up when he heard heavy footsteps outside. *Stomp stomp stomp*; then they stopped - right outside the bar doors. "Hello...?" He called out; but it was quiet; with just the pitter patter of rain outside. (Wait, rain...?) His eyes widened in horror. It wasn't raining. It was... Oh it's done. 140 characters reached.
I say, story is very good but, is the book being dropped or something?? Its already a few months now and there's no updates. 😐 ...................................
One cliché behind the other .. Клише ,ни чем не отличается от других его работ ,скукота ,не читайте это ,только время зря потеряете Грусть печаль
Hahahahaha I hope that you won't drop this novel I will try it...............................................................................................................................................................................
The story is (as the author frequently mentions) quite the cliche. However, I don't really mind that. An author doesn't have to reinvent the wheel to write an amazing story. Fuethermore, the "second-chance VRMMORPG" genre is one of my absolute favourites. With that said, I would like to start my review. The initial summary and the positive reviews made me incredibly excited. A gunslinger in a fantasy world? How fun and imaginative! Even though it's not 100% original, I don't mind it at all! The author might seem slightly too protective of his story and (honestly?) a bit scared of constructive critism, but, once again, I don't mind. However, even after 20 chapters, the novel still doesn't seem like a VR story. Quite frankly it's like the author cant bring himself/herself to decide whether to write a LitRPG or a "transported to a different world" novel. Even characters (NPCs) that are utterly pointless (and are literally AIs) are introduced with a whole lifestory attached to them. Why? What does this information contribute to the story? It is a game. Not a real world. However, honestly I wouldn't have minded this so-called 'game' if it wasnt for the excessive swearing. The protagonist is a 34 year old pro VR gamer yet even after reincarnating he acts and talks as if he is a child. How he (supposedly) controlled a guild with 5,000,000 players in it is utterly beyond me. I know it can be difficult to write in informal language. But just adding cursewords into sentences doesn't solve it. Oh yeah, and he is called "manco" (japanese for vagina). The former void assassin, super player, reincarnated guildmaster literally adopts the name pu**y in his quest for vengence... So yeah. In conclusion: I dropped it.
Entire story suffering. Author only does three a week and then does fluff/filler nonsense. Story doesn't even have 100 chapters yet. Hope he figures it out soon.
At least change the plot wherein the mc was betrayed and then got reborn before the game was launched. That plot is overused already in many game novels in this site. This novel is cliche and unoriginal in my opinion.
Well I say it a pretty good chapter. But the game menus seem a bit over complicated. All in all a good start in how he will fight in the game, I think it was very fine.
Well done! Very nice plot, and good grammar. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Obligatory author's self-promotion :) The genre is pretty cliched, but I hope to bring something new and exciting to it. Please stick around. Things will get interesting soon. Thank you and have a nice day.
