SPOILER: This is only part one of a novel that has yet to be fiinished. After reading the author's final comments at the end of the novel, I can now understand while it was lacking in many areas. I liked the MC who wasn't OP and lived the morally gray area. It think the MAS was extremely under utilized and, too me, barely mattered in the MC's journey unlike most related novels. The lack of closure is also disappointing but I underrstand the author's reason. For a 1st novel, it was a decent start. I definitely liked the author's White Online novel much better. I hope to see a continuation of this story in the future.
I am not sure about the whole story, but the game definitely sucks. I am shocked that people even play it. This game is like Pay To Win taken to extreme. Just for the sake of reference. 1 Credit is around 1 Yuan. It requires 3 credits for a bullet. So 1 yuan is around 0.14 dollars. So basically 2 bullets for a dollar. Wtf? Let's talk about this from a machine gun player's POV. I am taking a rather popular machine gun, M4 carbine. It shoots around 700-900 rounds/min. That's almost 400 dollars for a minute of shooting.To put it in perspective for people who don't live in US and have no idea about how much is 500 dollars. A **4 Pro 1 TB costs $367A Nitendo Switch is around $200An iPhone XS is around $1000. That's like 3 minute of shooting. And this is just for the common bullets. He talks about bullets worth 5 credits, 30 credits and god knows what. Plus everything there costs. And how the author has described the game mechanics, a common player has no chance of even passing lvl 10, unless he's with some serious pay to win player. This is not pay to win, but pay to play. Anyway, sorry for the rant. This just really makes me question that has the author ever player a mmorpg or mmo game?Anyway that's it.
Excellent beginning - interesting worldbuilding, immediate ten.sio.n, a race against time! A VR game used to invade other countries. Do I hear echoes of Ender's Game? I'd like to hear how a VR game invasion managed to make it into RL.The MC is racing to get strong enough to beat an invasion of VR players on his country. But then, things get more complicated, and matters appear that are greater than the fate of a single country or a single person.This novel has layered mysteries, and the MC traveling back in time to participate in a VR game that destroyed countries is just the beginning. I read the brain journey thing and went ah, is this going to be like Knowhere? Unfortunately it wasn't and I stopped reading. I wrote this review instead, haha!As for the MC, Ibrahim is the determined sort of person. He's definitely the kind hero type, not a trash MC. There's not a lot of character development at first; it is the plot that keeps the story moving forward in the first several volumes. Minor problems in formatting - capitalization and punctuation mostly. Could be ignored, and it gets better, but there's a lot in the beginning.Still, I definitely recommend this novel. Great read!
Great story but I can’t get busy and not stay on the same consistent update schedule. I’ll try my best to fix that. Feel free to get any CONSTRUCTIVE criticism where you see fit. You can get mii your stones if you want but this is still purely for fun entertainment purposes.
Wow, what a great story . I can see that this story is gonna be amazing. Everything in the story is great, including the grammar, plot, and background. I can't wait to read the next chapter
