Left without other choices, he turned to the world of Victory for solace only to find out that everything wasn't so simple like he expected. Even after two months of complete dedication to the game. He hasn't achieved any of his goals at all…
But fortunately, lady luck soon blessed his hopeless life… He managed on erasing his debt, angering the gods living above the heavens and even acquiring a Mythical Class! But Joseph is a young man left with scars due to his past. Can he even become someone suitable for the grandeur of a Mythical Class? The Sun that Overlooks Everything?
"Aye wait bro, don't attack ye- Sike! You thought!"
"Alice, I really love it that you keep yourself feminine for the sake of your Swordsmanship. But can you not wear skirts while we're practicing? I can basically see what's underneath."
"Abyssal Flame Master, why do you remind me of the alter-ego that I sealed a long time ago back when I was in middle school?"
Fueled with the determination of being the strongest. Joseph, along with the comrades that he gathered on his journey shall crush those that dare stand before their path.

Artwork: This is a collaboration between me and the Connoisseur of the Dao of Sticc, Truedawn. We spent countless nights depicting the awesomeness of the MC through the Dao of the Sticc, I hope it is appreciated.

Écrire un avis5 stars for the God Level cover. It is by far the most brilliant illustration that I have ever seen in this platform. -Artistic level 1000 -Genius Artist 1000 -Divine Hands of an Art God 1000 Overall Score 1000
What the hell is with that cover? I'm laughing my ass right now. 🤣🤣🤣 For that illustration I'll give you 5 stars. haven't read the story but will update my review if it's any good or bad.
Okay, so not like other who apparently just rated this novel based on the cover, I thought when i found this novel that it will be good judging on the rating but i was truly disappointed in this novel, i read so far up to the chapter 11 and it is so frustrating to read. Maybe the rest is good but if you want the audience to read your book well the beginning is kinda pretty important. So i wish you good luck for the future autor and i will just read something esle.
Yeah, not gonna lie. The cover got me. Still, with a summary that reads "basically overgeared, but with a combat class," i can't say i'm not interested.
Just a disclaimer before everyone reads the novel and also a shameless 5 star review, because why not? Now let's take all of these aside and actually talk about the nitty-gritty of this review. I mean, I could not add any reasons as to why I gave my own novel a 5 star review, but it's better if there's a reason. The good things of this novel, or kinda? Still depends on your preferences in the end. But oh well, let's see.. Pros: 1. Dao of Sticc - Should I expound more on the greatness of the sticc? Yes, I shall expound. The greatness of the sticc lies on the fact that the upon looking at the sticc, everything suddenly doesn't matter anymore except the sticc. The sticc is da wae and it is everything. It's like weed but legal. ;) No FBI plz >.< 2. Overpowered MC? - There's somewhat a caveat to this within the early chapters of this novel. The MC that I designed acquired a really powerful class as shown by the synopsis and the title. But sadly, his scars due to his past makes him a really unconfident and cautious MC that only acts when pushed. Fortunately, the first 60 chaps of this novel is all about his development. In the end, you will still get the Overpowered MC that you rightfully deserved, not just in a retarded method or manner. 3. Romance - My readers at AS(don't ask me about AS anyways) told me that I have a pretty good handle when it comes to relationships. Although I admit that I was heavily criticized back then due to the sudden development that arrived without any forewarning. I have learned my lessons already and forgive me about my past mistakes, I'm a new man now. (But don't ask me about AS thx). 4. Dynamic Characters? = I am writing this as of Chapter 60 and I can say that I made a pretty good job when it comes to characterizations. But as an author, I will always be biased towards my creation so I will not comment that much about how dynamic my characters are since they will always be perfect for me… But what do you think? 5. Daily Updates = I have a sizeable backlog of chapters ready to be released if I get sick or is away for some reason. Hopefully it doesn't disappear in the future since I have the attention span of a gold fish and is always lazy, or distracted when it comes to writing. 6. No Plot Holes? = So far, as of chapter 60. I found every plothole that I could find but if there's a plot hole that greatly affects the novel. You can communicate with me at the comment section any moment. For every authors, the comment section is our source of energy and motivation. So, please comment! 7. No characters left behind = Every character mentioned in this novel, apart from those that do not have any names will still be present in the future. They just don't disappear and be forgotten. Only characters who are not worthy of being named are disposed off…(feelsbadman). Now let's start talking about the bad things about this novel or else I will continue on bootlick my own novel to infinity >. < 1. Too verbose = I really like explaining things. Particularly how the characters feel in a certain situation, or their expressions. That's just how my writing style works so, I find it hard to change it into something suitable or is not jarring for the general audience? What do you think about my style? 2. Chapter Release Rate = I am planning on dedicating myself on releasing at least one chapter a day, what I mean by 1 chapter a day is I release one but actually write two. The other chapter is used for my backlog of unreleased chapters for the sake of mass release, or if I am absent due to sickness or work. 3. Somewhat Jarring start for Character Development = The first 60 chapters of this novel is dedicated for the development of the MC. This is unavoidable and you may find it annoying about how the MC doesn't use his strength to the full potential. Don't blame him too much, he's just too cautious and afraid of failure, especially if he has something great to lose. But that changes when he has nothing to lose ;) 4. Harem? Or not? No it's not a harem! Well, maybe it is? Wait, I don't know? Just what is the answer, author?! = The MC will have a wife in the virtual world, but he will also have a girlfriend irl. I don't know if this can be considered as a harem, so I will just have you guys decide if you consider this harem. Okay, disclaimer done! Honestly, I think that I should have a lot more listed under the (bad things about this novel) tab but I am subconsciously biased against my novel to the extent that I am delusional that it is perfect… But here's a silver-lining. 1. Read this novel as if it's not realistic = I strive on keeping everything realistic, but this is still a fiction in the end. So read it as a fiction not a documentary. 2. Keep an eye out for some plot clues, I am the type of writer that often leaves out clues for the readers to figure out. But I don't know why? Maybe I just love mystery things too much that I want to expound more on the greatness of subtlety? 3. Don't ask me about AS. 4. Enjoy the read! Don't forget to comment since comments lube up my chocolate starfish real good (nohomo btw).
Spoiler de révélationI don't think my review will stay here long as this author most likely deletes reviews based on comments, quality, and boosted ratings... Anyways I think the novel had a really good start, however it quickly devolves into cliche plots, forced and flat relations, and dumb decisions. Since C5ish the novel went downhill. The grammar is good however the story quality has a noticable drop. I ended up dropping this novel at C19 due to that. It sort of felt like the author tried to force cliche and/or cringe things as an original which did not work... Overall, author I think you need to focus on developing your story flow/plot and characters. Lastly I love the cover, plus the updates look daily, though I can only guess since on phone so cant see history.
So lengthy to read and absolutely fcuking boring. The story premise is good, but the added extra details are very lengthy that make you feel like reading same business news from different magazines one after another without gap.
Seldomly have i read a story with a worse MC than this. He's retarded. During this first 8 chapters of this story nothing of interest happens and you're getting fludded with the idiocy of this mc. There is nothing appealing so far, I will continue till chapter 20 and maybe update this review.
Honestly it's disappointing,as simple as that.And even worse there are a lot of inflated reviews as well. The ~75 chapters are "introductory" because they are filled with a lot of pointless drama and cliches just for the sake it. The characters are acting just for the sake of not being props,even if they act without reason or sense. The MC is plain stupid with kind of no redeemable qualities but atleast he gets some character development so it's kinda fine I guess,but still not likeable. I've lost patience with the novel after the author made a girl simply undress in front of the MC for no reason at all and then her acting shy. This novel follows no logic and is basically just a reference fiesta and I can't really recommend it.Maybe it gets better after ~120 chapters but I doubt it,maybe only the MC gets a bit better because I still believe most of the other characters will still behave like some idiots

This is a solid novel. The author takes an authentic approach to the characters discovery and understanding of the world. If not a little naive. I do have some hiccups with it though. In the first ten chapters the author seems to searching for the characters personality. Each new chapter the MC has a new outlook on life. When he is handing over the money he is confident, arrogance and vengeful but also caring and generous. The next chapter in game the character is a coward who flinches when someone gets near him. It doesn’t make sense, just cause he is LVL 1 does that mean he will cower and not give a simple letter to a drunkard. It felt forced and out of place of the story.
Spoiler de révélationThis book may seem boring but by goddid I get addicted love this book. World building was 4 state (so far) 140140140140140140140140140140140
Really good book. This is an Overgeared style story but with more NPC stuff than PVP. Very good read. Been a while since something this good came out.
This novel deserves 5 Stars just because of the cover. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Good book, premature ending though. Grammar is decent and consistent. The pacing is rather slow and some things are needlessly stretched out in terms of dialogue and descriptions but it could just be personal taste. The mc has a rather unique class in terms of other books that really made me enjoy the entire process of seeing him adapt. Which the author would've expanded more/made more use of the duel skill because it can make for some great action scenes but its possibly he had planned to before he dropped the book. Good book though and definitely worth the read.
This cover is pulling me in right now, I really like it and I like the story line about a harsh beginning and a new struggle to become better can't wait to read this one for sure!
Auteur TheAdventurer
So the author has multiple notices up and there might be people who still complained about the issue of the story starting slow. So let me shed non spoiler light. Yes it starts slow. Yes some things that happen early make it seem like the MC forgot to do something. Everything gets explained. There are reasons. There's no plot holes if you read on. This author has spent a lot of time to make the characters seem real and to make a great world that flows together. I can't wait for this novel to progress so I can see where the journey leads to. Thank you to the author and anyone supporting them for this wonderful novel. I hope the quality stays as it is and that you, author, don't lose hope or interest in this novel.
