tl.dr: One of the best Chinese VR novels translated. Overall a top 5 online novels VR novel. Generic story-line, however well written, with somewhat flushed out characters, good combat system and an interesting plot.--Characters--Characters in this novel are often intelligent, however not overly arrogant. As of this review, while their was one unrealistic action the MC has done, overall their is logic to the MC. He tries his best to be low key, while not degrading into someone who is unreasonably afraid of achievement, while at the same time is not afraid to exploit his advantages to a reasonable extent. The time travel element, adds reason to why the MC does certain things. It is also refreshing to see a MC who knows when to retreat and not just mindlessly offend people, just to further the plot.Unfortunately, the regrets before his rebirth, his girlfriend, and anything he did previous to his rebirth is completely neglected. The only relevance the rebirth has, is giving future game knowledge to the MC. There is no reminisce or drive that comes from the rebirth past the first few chapters.--Plot (contains minor spoiler)--The plot of the story is a generic plot in which the MC is reborn with game knowledge and uses this knowledge to obtain hidden advantages. As of writing this review (ch.51) the MC uses his knowledge to exploit a bug and solo a world boss, finds a unique item which he exploits to get an advantage over others(gold likewise), as well as strategies to clear dungeons. Though the plot is cliche, it works, other components are strong enough to cover this weakness.--Combat System and it's Effect on Plot--My personal favorite part of the novel is the combat system, which though not heavily covered, I believe adds lots of depth to the novel. The combat system is split into two systems the manual system, and the automatic system. Though initially the manual system is far less efficient than the automatic combat system through continuous effort, one becomes more optimal using manual combat. I believe that because the main reason for the MC advantage over others is mostly due to the innate knowledge of the benefits of the manual system, it makes the story far easier to swallow, then if for example, the MC found an OP item that made him better in any way possible. Due to the MC's constant growth through the higher completion of combos in the combat system, I feel the story is less stagnant then it would be without it.--World Building--Overall the novel does a good job at building up the setting for the novel. The massive effect this VR has on the world is sufficiently explained, with the flexibility of the VR world itself allowing for unique situations, such that its hard to make the story stale. The realism, in that there are still bugs and exploits, allows for the world to be more immersive, as it is easier to relate to, and overall the story does a good job.

I've always been interested in fantasy novels. So if you are interested in a whole new fantasy story that will take you to another world, this will be a good read.

It's an amazing novel, but I unfortunately can not continue. The characters are intertaining to read, and the author seems to have thought out their personalities well. The world seems active (even without the mcs intervention), which is a good sign in terms of world development.The writing quality is ok. It's not the best, but it is readable. The grammer mistakes sometimes break immersion, but overall, it's readable.The updates aren't too bad, although personally, I would prefer faster releases, but I know that people have busy schedules and don't have the whole day to write their books.My problem stems from the mc and the reoccurring dominant females. The princess who seems to find the mc amusing for some reason, and gives the feeling that they are bonded in some way. The advisor to the King of the Golden Crow Kingdom, who the mc seems to have a soft spot (and view her as a source of peace for him), or at least seems will have a close relation to the mc one way or another(though I don't know how close). The part which made me dejected the most is when the mc (in a vulnerable state after battle with 2 former rank 8s) chooses (willingly) to go to the advisors hideout due to him feeling at peace in HER hideout. The mc seems to try and project loneliness, but his actions and thoughts seem to desire some form of companionship (either platonic or more intimate, I don't know). An example of this is during the inheritance at the beginning with the woman he had saved for his plans but grown fond of, where although he had already made countermeasures for the liklihood of betrayal (he killed her), he seemed hopeful that she wouldn't due to her perceived innocence (which he was incorrect to believe in it would seem).Don't get me wrong, the book is amazing, hence why I gave it a 4/5, but it just isn't my cup of tea. I expected a loner mc who either slowly descends into loneliness due to his ambition and goals (which he seems to lack, or have any drive in), or one who was always a loner, but I don't get the feeling this is how this book will turn out. So, in conclusion, this book is recommended for anyone looking for a ruthless mc, but not a loner in their path to the top.

(Oh cr*p, I'll get a lot sermon.)
