I am obviously biased as the author but I believe in my book. Just give it a try, a few minutes of your time is all I ask. Then drop your view on the way out if you're not willing to stay. I appreciate everyone for sticking with me through this trying time.

Alignment: Neutral Evil Final Score: 3.5 DISCLAIMERS: The rating given is my own opinion of the novel at this time. And may be subject to change later. The rating given is relative to the material on this site. Meaning a 4 or 5 given on Webnovel is not a 4 or 5 given on Amazon. ----------------------------- "A Diamond in The Rough" Few stories are able to capture their readers. Whether that be through its excellent plot, characters, or world-building (There are some freaks of nature that manage to capture all three). Unfortunately this is not one of those stories. There are periods in the novel that seem utterly benign. The author seems to be desperately eager to share all their wonderful ideas for the world and its power-system. However, this process is neither gradual nor subtle. It's akin to drinking water from a firehose. The info-dumping is simply terrible. It's info dump after info dump, words and sentences that string along together that make coherent sense but aren't meaningful in any way to the reader. At times I can't be bothered to care for any of the characters in the novel, including the protagonist. Simply because we don't spend meaningful time with him at all. It's constant P.O.V changes and lore/world building that's taking up the precious time of the main character. The protagonist is supposed to be the catalyst that brings the world building and other characters into play. At times I feel frustrated with this, at times I wish to no longer waste my time, at times I feel like forgetting about this novel forever....... ------------------------------------------------- Is how I previously felt about this novel. Before a certain point in the story I felt tired of this novel and had serious misgivings. But the author seems to have listed to the criticisms, and made some changes. They started to put more effort into telling the story of the MC! There were moments in this novel that were genuinely exciting to read, but I was always overwhelmed by the info-dumping. However now since the author made the necessary changes, the readability of the story has increased by at least two-fold. There are still info-dumps but they're more manageable and do not get in the way of the MC's journey. ------------------------------------------ The world of "Greed: All For What" is vast. The power system is both simple yet complex (in a good way). There are clear denominations, and each stage is given it's own unique trait. However, there are unique ways in which one can find loopholes (or exploits) in order to gain more power. Our MC's cheat is practically based on finding this exploit. ------------------------------------------ The protagonist is simply a breath of fresh air compared to the generic cultivation mc template. This guy is willing to do whatever it takes to reach his goals. If he needs to sacrifice someone or something he's willing to do so. However, there are very few moments where the MC is willing to prove his "dao" so to speak. When they do pop-up in the novel they're always a treat. There are times when the MC is overshadowed, and relegated to a minor role in the story. Nevertheless, the author seems to have learned their lesson and made efforts to make these occurrences few and far between. --------------------------------------------- The author's work ethic and discipline are truly commendable. They release on a daily basis, and sometimes twice a day. ------------------------------------------- What I would like to see in the future: 1. More "Dao Affirming" Moments. I want to see the reason why there's an evil mc tag. 2. More dialogue would help (although finding the right balance may prove difficult). -------------------------- Overall: This story suffers greatly due to the excessive information dump that impedes the protagonist's journey. However, underneath all that is a story worth telling. In my humble opinion, I think others should read this story. There is a soul here, and the author is very passionate and willing to change. Despite the author's mistakes, this story is worth reading as long as the author never loses his way.

I will post my comments in comments section.. and even might change the review now I am going to start this delicious meal

I have read upto chapter 43 and I can confidently rate this high in most aspects except for world building. Specifically the cultivation aspect of it. Since the cultivation aspect wasn't built step by step but rather in an info dumping manner, I am as of now still unclear of what his entire plan is doing. If the cultivation knowledge was built up in a more reader friendly manner, I would've rated it higher. The story development is excellent so far and the world building is phenomenal as well. I only have a complaint about the cultivation aspect of it. Another thing I believe the author can work on is the descriptive aspect. Increasing your vocabulary and designing scenes that seem to literally suck the readers attention can do your story wonders.

Well, this is without a doubt a masterpiece. Great story and impressively unique world building/background. And unlike most LN the side characters are not one dimensional and, every one has unique background and other details ,sometimes it's too much details 😵 but in the long run it will be OK 👌. The power system is specially well designed and satisfying . Now to the most important part, The MC . First he is no saint nor evil , he can be both whenever it suits him, otherwise he doesn't care. Ambitious and never settles for mediocrity, which is obvious from the title. Though he was not this way from the start. That's the beauty of it i guess. You will not see much reactions since he has apathetic attitude to almost anything except his own path of power. Though he is not very flexible. Overall its a really good read and won't disappointe. And don't be discouraged at the lack of action in the middle chapters as it's important for story development.

When I first read the synopsis I was happy, as it is rare to find a book where the MC is not either dicking around with diff girls or being hella overpowered. But well it disappointed me, the first 4 chapters of yours they are very boring. I do know that you might have wanted to explain the world's background but you could've taken a diff approach. All I am trying to say even though your story might be amazing or the idea behind is amazing, the way you put it in the words was a little Disappointing.

my big gripe with the story is that it feels like a series of notes, or like you're watching a movie and it's just characters standing in a room while the narrator tells you what *would* be happening if it was a movie. there's a big rule of "show don't tell" in fiction and it's usually to avoid situations like this, it feels very "heavy" on the mind to just read chapter after chapter of expository paragraphs about a bunch of background information especially when it doesn't mean anything to us yet. we were introduced to a family of dragons, their names, histories, size, powers, relationship dynamics etc then they just got thrown away because "no this new guy is the mc". we got introduced to a void in space with these realm trees, spread out across the sky and glowing, a big empty space as the location for the novel, then it got deleted because "no actually were going over here to this heaven place instead". then we had to go through the whole process of exposition dumps for the people who mattered again, it feels like a burger wrapped in 4 layers of packaging, inside a sealed bag, placed in a locked chest, hidden in a wardrobe. even if it's our favourite thing ever the price is too high. you have to study and study chapters and chapters of homework just to get into this novel and I genuinely had to put my tablet down a few times to give myself time to relax from it all.

A gem that doesn't get much attention sadly, this story is by far better than most top stories so far if not the best. Even blood warlock can't compete, its just that this is a first for the author so not much attention is given. The difference povs, the feeling of every charecter havin their own mc introduced is jaw dropping. author is a takanted individual that could make anything out of nothing.

Currently at chapter 35 and so far it didn’t disappoint me. Yea during the 1st 10 chapters the writing will turn you off( I gave up on this novel 6x b4 Ifinnaly decided to get past the second chapter) but it somewhat gets better,the Author said he’d rewrite the 1st few chaps so……

As someone whose favorite activity in games is build experimentation, I really like the theorycrafting in this novel. It feels like making some insane build in Path of Exile. While this part of the novel is great, there are some things that could be written better. Because the story is split into different "Legions," I completely stopped caring about the characters from Legion 2 when the author brought them back in later volumes. I'm also not a fan of switching the POV to "higher beings" just to shed light on their "grand plan." We readers should piece together that plan along with the MC instead. While this happens only at the beginning/ending of a volume, it's still annoying. The novel could probably be much more popular if not for the first 50 chapters, which discourage spending coins or fast passes on more chapters. My favorite idea in the whole novel is that you are rewarded for breaking the "rules." It also fits perfectly with the theme of the MC gaining power through his own actions and not by some stupid system or poorly written cheat.

Take this with a grain of salt, and see this as constructive criticism. As a first time reader you can’t really take the words of an author at face value when they say it’s worth it or not when comes with their work. You can’t really expect an reader who barely read enough of MC (due to the heavy amount of filter in the early stages of the book) to spend their own money to unlock chapters. who knows weather or not its worth it. Based on the little amount of screen time the MC has before the paywall, I don’t think it’s worth it to continue reading due to problem of information or lack thereof. Honestly seems like story more revolving around the Elf guy than the official MC, based on how he has all the basic qualities of a MC (insanely talented, transmigrated from Earth, creator of a system, etc etc) and everyone singing praises about him. Look there as to be a reason why although it has well over a thousand chapters it’s so low on the ratings, it could be good for all I know, but the beginning ain’t what you wanna see on a top rated book. Side note: You gotta delete those useless chapters, you are already limiting the amount of chapters you have to read, why do it more?

I think Soverick unknowingly captured me through the book into the void universe and I don't want to leave as long as Legion is still there.The background of the story is just so unique and other characters have realistic thoughts. There are other special characters that have main character traits in GREED, which adds to the uniqueness of the story.The story can spend a lot of time going through some arcs, but the writing quality always keeps me enjoying the story to the fullest.Overall this story is one of my favorite books with a unique plot, realistic characters, and philosophy to change your thoughts on sacrificing yourself for 5 exact clones of yourself to live. Every day I know that I can check and see that two amazing chapters have been released for me to read. Thank you for giving us this wonderful work of art that I can tell has a lot of thought put into it.
