Thrown away by fate, he was abandoned and left to fend for himself in the slums of Yoral Kingdom. Cast aside by those who should have cared, he despises everything that has forced him into a life of neglect. When he is unexpectedly chosen by Relentless Terror and transported to a nightmare realm, his world shifts once again—but this time, he refuses to be a pawn.

In this deadly world, survival hinges on completing terrifying challenges known as terrors, where failure means death. But there is one thing he cannot stand: being controlled. Whether it’s fate or anyone else trying to pull the strings, he will never bow to anyone. The fight for his freedom becomes his only motivation as he faces monstrous horrors and uncovers dark secrets. With each terror, he grows stronger—but the weight of his freedom and his survival becomes even more complex.

As he navigates this chaotic new reality, he will face not only the terrors of this world but the ever-present fear of being shackled by fate or another’s will. Will he escape the nightmare, or will the very system that grants him power become the prison that breaks him?

    The author is a native English speaker based on his profile. So, my review of this webnovel is going to be more in line with that expectation and not the typical translation trash that litters this website. Writing Quality- There's a few grammar mistakes but nothing too serious. Story Development- For a while there the MC has some cultivation level dialogue going on and some typical thot in distress. But, the biggest issue this webnovel has is the set up itself. Presently the MC is playing a beta test version of the game and it's been 70+ chapters. Like a normal person would think, once the beta ends all the data is going to be wiped. So that means almost the entirety of the story written until then is going to be a waste unless some BS story development occurs to change common sense. Then we either have to deal with watching the MC rebuild his religion as some Nordic god again or deciding to be something else. Character Design- There's some cultivation type characters which is pretty low brow everything considered. Updating Stability- Consistent or maybe not? As a guy who's written 400+ chapters he spends an inordinate amount of time DCMA-ING bots that copy and paste his chapters onto other websites. Even threatens us the readers and not the bots he'll stop writing if the pirating doesn't stop. World Background- It's fine, but the author wastes too much time having the MC go on adventures and fighting in dungeons. The guy is a god, not some two bit adventurer. He should be out spreading his faith, doing miracles, or god forbid fathering kids in the mortal realm like a typical god. Just seriously, this beta test smorgasbord is do or die for this webnovel. If I was the author, I'd just wrap this up within ten chapters and than choose one of the typical demi-human races like the elves, dwarves, or the beastmen. Humans are overdone, especially since you've already chose them during the beta test, you've done orcs in your other webnovel, and the probably villainous race "primal whatever" just seems a bit lazy since you get to make up everything about a made up race.

    Short review: It's like the morning coffee for me. Doesn't taste extraordinary but well enough to make me smile.Quite underrated in my opinion. It is a nice action, slice of life story which is quite humorous as well. There is a uniqueness in a story which I find admirable in the sea of repetitive novels around. Definitely worth a read.I don't understand why people hate the female characters in the novel. Xiaotian, July, Vast Lushness etc are entertaining characters with self worth and characters not built for being 'jade beauty' in mc's possession like 90% of CN novels.

    3k+ chapters and an unstable 3 chapters a week? No thank you. I thought QI had a stable 5 chapters week requirement. There is no point reading it like this, since it'll never get finished.

    Author here this is a novel I'm writing for fun. Inspired by fantasy novels like Bringing the Farm to Another World. The character will have lots of fun running around absorbing everything like a kleptomaniac. Lighthearted, Casual, OP protag.

    "Of course not my student/disciple." They both spoke at the same time as Ito reverted back to his indifferent demeanor while Sun Wukong also said with a 'solemn' look on his face.
