    I've really liked this novel and would recommend reading it, though I do think it had a bit of a rough start with there being little focus placed on characters outside the MC and the writing felling a bit choppy, but both points have since been improved upon ever since the last 25% of the cultivation world arc. While reading up to that point can be a bit tedious at times (only very slightly), the payoff is definitely worth it in the end. Oh, and the author seems to be a pretty chill person to talk to in the comments, so that's a plus.

    Either way, I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a good world hopping novel that strays from many cliches present within the genre.

    Overall rating would probably be a 4.5/5

    Writing quality is great, I don't have to reform the sentences in my head.
    *****
    Updates are prety good(not the "5 updates per 3 days now wait month" style). ****
    Story seems to come along nicely, not breaking apart every 3 chapters like other novels. *****
    Characters feel alive, realistic. *****
    Book too small to judge background yet, so **** until expansion.
    Overall, it's a good read. 4.6 rounds up to 5
    btw is this the correct way to do spoilers?

    Only I Am a Reader is a story about Leo Lock, a boy born with the ability to read books and obtain some of the skills mentioned in them. One day, he was suddenly transported into one of the books he read, and forced to survive until the ending.

    Overall, a really refreshing infinity-novel. I can't say too much so far, it's a lot slower than your typical infinity-novel, but that arguably makes it better. Hopefully it doesn't fall into the typical pitfalls.

    Writing quality is above-average, there are still some minor mistakes but everything is readable. (4/5 stars)

    Story development is pretty good. Both arcs in the first 300 chapters are pretty good, I'm hoping they focus more on the real world after the second arc though. Both stories seem realistic, even if both of them have rather cliché plots. Although it is interesting to see those "cliché plots" get fleshed out more than they normally would. (5/5 stars)

    The character design I have somewhat mixed feelings about. The characters are good, and most of them are rather 3d. For the most part, they feel like real people. However, due to the fact that the main character is going into novels, there is this ever-present barrier that the author puts around said characters that prevents them from being too fleshed out. Besides that, the main character still hasn't been properly fleshed out, there is a hint of romance at chapter 300, but it is extremely slow. (4/5 stars)

    World background is great. Obviously, some things are going to remain somewhat unrealistic considering it always has a third-party view on various protagonist's luck. Aside from that, these worlds are fleshed out and make sense, more-so than most infinity novels. (4/5 stars)

    Overall, novel is pretty great. Unfortunately there's some disconnect with the other worlds that prevent them from being super-great, but that comes along with the genre I suppose. Aside from that, everything is above-average. I give this novel 4.4 stars out of 5.

    Now that I have finished the Second Volume with over 400 chaps out, it's time to write a review once again. light spoilers might be included so only read this review if you wanna get a glimpse of what this book is about, otherwise jump into it and try to give it a chance for 5~10 chapters. You might enjoy it if you like novels such as Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint, Novel's Extra, Author's POV, TCF, Fantasy Simulator, Astral Apostle, 48 Hours a Day,
    The Protagonists Are Murdered By Me, or Murim novels like Nano Machine or Chronicles of the Heavenly Demon. (specifically the second volume)

    Anyway, this book tells the story of Leo whose already special reading capacity breaks through reality to place him inside various books that he read, all while hints of mystery are ongoing back on reality.

    In short words, this is a world hopping novel, also known as an infinity novel, something that I personally enjoy, and would recommend to those who get bored of the same setting in novels after reading a couple hundred chapters. Hope you enjoy this if you decide to read it and feel free to ask any(spoiler free) questions in the comments.

    - P.S: attached pic is an imagination of one of MC's variations.

    The design of this world the author has created isbreally unique and refreshing take on "system like" novels with the main character's "book" and "reader" abilities he accumulated over time. While the "book" ability system seems a little confusing at first, it constantly is being further updated and explained in great detail throughout the story.
    The author does a great job explaining the world and the details when we need to know them to understand the novel. I was very pleasantly surprised with the amount of attention to detail that was put into this story, and appreciate the thoughtful consideration the author put into creating this world for us to read.
    I look forward to see how this story progresses for Leo and what kind of abilities he will get, and the heights he will reach. I hope we'll get to see him experience more roles as a "reader" in different and interesting worlds.

    Really written very well ^^ This is a good catch in this platform. I have nothing else to say except that the MC is developed real good. His background, his specialties, the challenges he faced didn't feel forced... the protagonist brother of his (despite being described as the typical edgy MC) is quiet interesting as well. If you like the Author's POV, the novel's extra, you will like this ^^

    I don't have much to say except that it's pretty interesting imo.
    Those who liked reading The Author's Pov probably would probably like this a lot as well.
