Hey there, author here! This is my debut novel!
First and foremost, my story is incredibly slow paced! I mean that, seriously. So if you're looking for something fast paced and action filled, this isn't the story for you.
Secondly, if you enjoy nothing but overpowered characters or the trends from cultivation stories, eg; faceslapping by chapter 3, "you're courting death", etc. type characters and stories, this is also not the story for you.
Action was never intended to be the main hook of my story, so several chapters can pass without a single moment of combat.
This is my take on the VR Game/VRMMORPG/litrpg genre, and while I use common themes from the genre, I try to twist them and make them my own.
One of the major themes of my story is the butterfly effect, and if you pay attention, there is a good chance you may figure out major parts of the story before it gets revealed.
Yes, my story is also chock full of references and nods to pop culture, mythology, folklore, etc. A lot of my character names are puns or references in themselves, so if you figure them out, feel free to comment.
That is all for now, I hope you enjoy my work.
This feels like a unique take on an extremely saturated market, I’m excited learning about how the class system works, I’ve never seen anything like it before.
The writing is pretty good, and it seems the story will involve uncovering secrets and exploring the world instead of just being exclusively non-stop combat like every other vrmmorpg novel I’ve read.
Which makes sense to me, because if it’s supposed to be this new world that is indistinguishable from real life, you would obviously explore and engage with it, not just mindlessly grind like your usual rpg game on pc.
I’m looking forward to more chapters from you, good work!
More updates. This is simply an excellent novel. It was a little bit early to be giving reviews but this novel is just wonderful. It deserves an oscar awards
Things I liked: The MC is basically an in-game scholar which is a cool new take that I wish had more play. Their family owns the game in addition to a bunch of other cool sci-fi related products/labs which is both an interesting character background and could wow the reader with ideas about the future. (Unfortunately, so far it is way underused) The world is a mix of different cultures from around the world and throughout history which hopefully means breaking away from East Asia/Europe (which is the generic setting for many of these). The fights are interesting and well done.
The downsides: All of this sounds amazing but the delivery just felt flat to me. The only two cool sci-fi things actually mentioned are the video game and something to generate energy. The world feels modern rather than futuristic because of this. The family isn't interesting. Nothing wrong with that IRL but in a story it means that the chapters with the father drag due to a lack of interest. The sister is so in and out that she isn't much of a character. Again it makes sense why this would be IRL but in a story we need characters that grow and are interesting. There are glimmers of this with the MC's schoolmates and the former rankers in game but they aren't given enough time/enough of a spotlight to develop into anything. The game story is really slow. I don't really care about him doing a quest that everyone else has to do, just slightly quicker. The ghost sub plot is great but is buried under ... an escort quest that he takes for ??? reasons? The quest to gain Gaia's interest was cool too but the rewards were uninteresting. Ultimately his rewards are bland (50 chapters in and there is nothing that stands out), his actions are uninspired (there are no cool finding hidden treasures or bosses, just knowing how to get a base class), and when he does get interesting quests he either ignores them (he ignores the ghost until he can't anymore) or declines them (The oracle's epic quest). When the author mentioned the world was a mix of ours, I was hoping for a hybrid and therefore new culture. Not just a copy paste of cultures in different places, and those places are just European ones we have all seen before.
Verdict: Worth a read to see if it is for you. The author may well be on to something eventually but I'm not willing to slog through more chapters to get to 'the good stuff'.
This website produces the largest volume of translated web novels I have found on the internet but with such a large volume of work comes the problem of extreme variety in quality. Laziness is the reason many novels end up lacking because either the novel itself takes shortcuts in favor of increased word count or the translator is only focused on quickly sending out the next chapter without carefully editing their work. Thsee issues make it all the more remarkable when something like this comes out. Laziness is the farthest thing from this content creator’s work ethic. Not only is the book itself a unique take on the returner and the vmmorpg genres but actively engages with the readers regularly and willingly reuploads their chapters losing out on many comments that boost their stats in order to maximize the quality of their work. Selfishly I want this writer to stay on this platform in order to consume their novels for free but this author clearly deserves a publishing house to make them a star. 10/10 flawless
Amazing story, biggest problem are the lack of chapters so I hope that at some point we can at least get a chapter a day, hopefully not at the cost of the quality
This is the best gamer story I have read in hundreds of stories I have read at this site. Your gamer story looks more realistic than the other's, especially the stat increase point.
