Heroes of Ghese

Night Ranger is a  reasonably competent tranmigration into a game world that is actually real.  The best part of the story is easily the vivid combat scenes, which relies on a MMORPG sensibility to drive the action.  The fast pacing and excellent translation make at times, this novel can be enjoyable, but unfortunately, the world is inescapably shallow, which even at the best of times prevents the novel from ever being truly great, and at the worst of times, drives the novel into frustrating places.The world is just like the game he played, except when it's not.  The main character remembers everything about the game down to the fiddliest bit, except when it's convenient for him not to.  The system seems in-depth, but ultimately is obviously contrived around the main character like his subclass which would make no sense as a main class.  Skills that would be obviously stupid in a game are purported to have existed in the game, such as a near-instakill skill that makes the user weak for months.  There are niggling details when the author tries to bring in plots into a video game world.  The MC's father was murdered by a slow poisoning.  Here's the problem:  In this world, you can fairly trivially cast "Cure Poison" and "Divination".  Over the months he was slowly getting sicker, why didn't his father visit a cleric?  And after discovering he was being poisoned, it would have been trivial to find the culprit.  I'm a hundred chapters in, and every single character introduced so far feels like a sock puppet for the MC to interact with.  Nobody feels real,  they're all just NPCs waiting around for the MC to show up.  The villains, in particular, have all these contrived plans that involve trying to kill the MC, but they often seem pointless.  For example, one mastermind spends an enormous amount of money plotting to kill the MC because he has a treasure map onto his land.  I can't help but wonder why he simply didn't take a small adventuring party there and simply take it.  We keep being told how smart the MC's actions are, but it's clear that without plot armor, he'd die pretty much every other day.  He consistently, repeatedly putting himself in mortal danger time and time again, by choice.  Yet there's never any sense of danger at all because the MC is a cocky perfect hero because he's played a lot of video games.  He's never afraid of death even when he's inches from it, and even though we're told he feels pain, it doesn't seem that way.   There is an incredible amount of telling instead of showing.  Worse, people know things they shouldn't.  The MC concludes that other people don't gain experience for getting kills, but he literally just assumes that without any testing whatsoever.  Some mook knows instantly the incredibly rare class of the MC (literally only 18 other people in the world with the class), but then a far more powerful, older, guy with far more access to knowledge has no idea what he is like two chapters later.   For some bizzarre reason, despite seers with future sight knowing a world-shaking calamity is coming, they forget to tell anyone.The MC has a cross between xianxia and video game morals.  One second he's thoughtlessly murdering mooks, the next he's sparing somebody who's betrayed him.  Why?  Because they're plot-centric.  The MC keeps saying he doesn't kill pointlessly, but he does.  All the time.  Then the author tries to show him as ruthless, but it mostly just makes him evil and possibly insane.  The MC looks at somebody and senses that they have strange eyes, so he kills them.  Then he kills some peasant for giving him lip.  Well, maybe they weren't a peasant, maybe he was a spy.  Who knows?  Not like the MC is going to bother to check when he mysteriously just knows.  When it comes down to it, the MC sees people as bags of experience and loot.  When his class trainer says "Okay, for the next step in your training, I need you to murder these five thieves that are pretty annoying because uh, they'll show off your night murdering skills" he doesn't stop and think "wait, is pick-pocketing really a capital crime?"  Nope, he's got a quest to kill 5 people, so he kills 5 people.    Amusing, since he later gets ragingly mad at someone else who is killing people to fulfill their advancement.  I'm often frustrated by MCs that try to bring in modern world morality into brutish and violent worlds, but in this case, the MC shows less regard for human life than serial killers.  His kill counts exceed that of most of the villains in the story, and include innocents, guards, and children.  Bizzarrely, every day citizens expect him to be punished because in civilization there's clearly rule of law, but he routinely gets away with murder.  You might say, "Might Makes Right

Amazing writing style and well executed story. Clearly a work of art.Definitely recommend to anyone reading this comment.

It's good, sometimes author misplaced details and in first chapter everything was compiled into a paragraph, but later on it was easy to read with good spacing although story was good from the start, but author should slow his growth as at 15 years he's called best player of valencia, which seems bit too much unrealistic. but i like the story, hope author continues it 300+ chapters

Hello, shameless author here!If you’re reading this then that means you’ve chosen to give this story a shot. I’d like to mention some things before you dive into the story.This story is a slow burn! There be fights, yes, but it’ll come when it’s needed. I don’t intend to force scenes or anything at all, I’m trying my best to make it all feel natural, so I hope you bear with me for that.Will there be action? Yes! Will there be progression? Yes! But they’ll only come when the characters stick their nose into such situations—which they will. The Mc, Elmer, is a naive young boy who just relocated from the countryside to a city, so some of his decisions may seem weird and all, but I promise you that he does grow.The Worldbuilding will be slow, as I will not partake in any infodumps, so I hope you have a bit of patience since all the countries and kingdoms won’t be spelled out to you at once.Volume 1 is already completely written and will be updating twice a day on webnovel until its completion here.With that out of the way, you may proceed, Lurker. Oh, and please don’t skip the prologue. It’s necessary, and don’t worry, I try my best to avoid info dumps in my story. I can’t do it even if I wanted to!T/N: This story’s magic system is inspired by LOTM’s, but that’s where it stops, the magic system. In no way does this story borrow any plot line from the world of LOTM. I’ve heard that the premise is similar to that of COI (LOTM Book 2), so I’m putting this out there to curb any confusion about that.I began to read LOTM to grasp the concept of eldritch horror and whatnot, same as I did for “The call of Cthulhu” and as I’m doing currently with bloodborne so as not to fail in my own story in that aspect. Therefore, if by some intervention of the divine beings any similarities are noticed, take note that it was purely coincidental, unless I intentionally reference LOTM world, which would probably be pretty glaring if that happens. Thank you for reading.

Was good at the start but now it’s all just mc making harem and basically all just fan service

Chapter---4

[People think of me as some monster, but I'm NOT! I try to be just like every other innocent truck, but I am always used as everyone's plaything. Do you think I enjoy trying to run over little girls and boys, or even old lady's and drunk men. No! I don't! I am always used and then chucked away, I don't even get my own chapter, it's always - "Ahh! A pair of head lights! *Bam*  Black out!" - Sometimes I get a honk in, but that's it.]
