Thanks for the news. I may come of as pretentious a little (even though I'm really not), but I was just so frustrated after I turned this whole platform upside down about three times, dragged user suppor with me and spent god knows how long trying to find any remnants of this book on internet, while only having MC name and some first chapter info (from what I new I remembered correctly for sure, as it was a long time ago that I last read it). I also haven't done anything like this since I went to college (information/intelligence gathering), mostly due to lack of time and/or need, so I had to relearn some tricks. Overall, it was a good warm-up exercise, but still...

Ok, first of, it's da'im hard to find you Raven since I didn't have your username. And second, what about the Nova book? The one about the overpowered cat of nature? Why take it down? If you don't want to continue it anymore then say so and leave it, but why straight up delete it?

It's perfectly fine. I have a habit of being too honest. So I'm serious when I say that you lost 1 star with me just on those mistakes (I personally use Microsoft Edge to fix it by making a pdf of my work and ask it to read it for me aloud). Overall, you did a really good job with it. An interesting idea and a pretty nice execution.

Before I go into any detail, I need to mention a few things..., for one, the book feels more like the author is writing it for themselves and not others, or they just don't care all that much about the readability. On average, it's like 0.7 spelling mistakes per paragraph and it can get tricky to guess at first sight, so it does sometimes break the immersion. The other thing is that, there was this one chapter (I just checked - chapter 6) at the beginning of the story introducing some new characters and then nothing more for more than 40 chapters. No mention, no obvious development in that area, it wasn't even a full chapter that was first dedicated to it.OK, fine. I'm good now, so let's get to the story, shall we?First of all, and something that personally got me interested, was the world building and the way author explained why you can't just pop a gun out of nowhere and "win the game". It's very intuitive and nicely weaved into the world. The background was also neatly put together without revealing too much.The story goes rather slow, but has enough action to keep you invested in the plot. And as we reach the plot I have a feeling (not a good one) that we will get some oh so worked to the bone MC's very tragic backstory... It wasn't introduced yet (I'm on chapter 51 right now), what it is, but there were some thing that made me think so and they also messed quite a bit with the image of the MC.At first as we are introduced to the MC and learn that they (author refers to the as "he" MOST of the time) are a dungeon, we are also told that they think they remember being human and some other things, but no spoiler... The point is that they discard that thought right the next second and we start to learn more about him in the light of something detached from the world of mortals, living in a different reality, in more ways than one, but then things happen and for some weird reason...Please consider, if you want to read ahead as it will be a teeny tiny spoiler.Please consider, if you want to read ahead as it will be a teeny tiny spoiler.Please consider, if you want to read ahead as it will be a teeny tiny spoiler....for some weird reason he just suddenly remembers that he ?was? ones a human, because he got a headache over having too many options about what to do (in all honesty, there were just two... it was just two options... and not really that complicated) and now our beloved MC is acting like a scared lil' ... I won't say it. Judge yourself. After a short moment, things are back to normal, but man, really?

I think you meant "...would then..."

Once placed, the goblins no longer needed to push up the bricks. All they needed to do was push the bricks on top of the elevator. Then, the hob-goblins woupd the use their muscle strength to push the wheel situated on the ground in a clockwise motion.

Overall, a very well written story. The only real downsides I can see are small inconsistencies when it comes to names (people, techniques, places and so on) as well as the simple fact that there isn't all that much story to begin with.

I think this means you just missed your cue, 'cause it's 6:46 UTC on Monday now and still nothing.

I would say it's a good, well-balanced story with op mc and with some gentle winds of reincarnation. The world building is on the slow and steady side of things, but it's not lacking. When it comes to characters and their development, it doesn't fall behind anything else. With that in mind the mc is a little weird in a sense that a full-grown man has a personality as stable as a kid. Also, the chapter list is a mess. As I write it more than half of the chapters are just signed as "dno" and they are just versions of other chapters, aparently autor writes them as a draft for chapters, but if that's the case then make them private or something, because I can't see if autor posts a chapter or a draft.
