When Isaac opens his eyes, it's not death that awaits him, but a new life... in a world identical to his own, with one exception: portals leading to monster-infested dungeons are appearing across the globe. If their boss isn't defeated in three days, the creatures escape and wreak havoc.
In this world, awakened hunters are the only line of defence against these horrors. Graded from F to SS according to their magical power, they rule in a society dominated by force. Isaac wakes up in the body of a young boy of rank F, an orphan with no future.
But his destiny changes when he discovers a unique gift: every night, his mind is projected into another world, a nightmare where dragons have enslaved humanity. In this hell, he is just another slave... but he soon realises that this cursed world holds the answers to the future of his own.
To survive and prevent history repeating itself, Isaac must move forward. His only hope? A mysterious system that allows him to absorb the strength of his enemies. Armed with a katana, he embarks on a race against time to unlock the secrets of these two worlds and prevent the inevitable.

    Review by chapter 269I binged the story in the past few days. I decided to take a break before continuing the journey. I wish to write honest feedback before any recollection gets muddled. I am a very picky reader so I may be biased. I will go through my thoughts relative to other works expected from webnovel.The author is passionate in what he does. He pushed himself everyday and relys on the readers for motivation. It is evident in his recent work that kept me reading unlike his previous work. For reasons I can't recall, I couldn't get past it's single digits. I'll be following his projects in the future the will surely be better. Anyways, let get back to the subject. The story is nothing special. A work one who enjoys the classic solo edgy beat em up would enjoy. There are certain aspects that makes it preferable compared to the rest. There is no mention of systems and 'skills/magics' are not explored anatomically. This allows for more focus on the story that many novels fail to understand. Characters are explored in more detail, monologues are more prevalent, everything one expects from a webnovel is there and more. But that's where it ends. The core of the story is set in flaws just like every other novel. The Mc has a questionable incentive, the world is nothing special/ doubtful perhaps and most character have a pretense of third dimensionalityGoing into slight detail, the Mc's motivation mostly arises from a reoccurring nightmare. Personal ideologies push the Mc in pursuit of power. I prefer them to be more tangible/physical. It gives more substance to motivation compared to a drive derived from an unrealistic unbreakable will.The Mc is perceived with a lot of flaws, the core of what makes characters alive. When the flaws are put to the test however, they never falter. It annoys me when it occurs in the story. Show me some weakness, sacrifice the mc's objective success and potential, loss friends, family because of these weaknesses. These weaknesses are bottled up and rationally explored for growth instead of exploding unfavorably for a more organic story. The Mc is a Mary Sue when it matters.The world revolves around the Mc. No single action from characters can alter the perceived story like the Mc. For this reason and many minor others, characters don't feel alive and relevant even though some are explored in detail. Any given character has to be written like a Mc. That is what makes the world vivid and lively. Perhaps George is a fair character but the author Insistance on the Mc's solo action doesn't give him a chance to shine.The Mc meets love interests at the beginning of each planet. The Mc relys on them for growth. I like reliance but they don't necessarily need to be love interests. It gets tiring.For reasons mentioned above, the world inst exciting beyond the expected big bad needs to die. One example, the juxtaposition of Mcs enrollment in a military and his continued defiance of orders and relished freedom bothers me. Whether the military has reasons for them or not, it goes against the perceived realism associated to these associations. Many more occur in the story making it wacky.It's a good read. Nothing exciting I would say.

    I honestly believe this is the best book on this platform. It’s constantly exhilarating and not repetitive in the slightest. The world building is literal insanity and the characters are really well made. Nothing ever feels 2D. Some of the side characters even feel like “other MCs.” Somehow though, it doesn’t detract from the MC in any way, shape, or form. I don’t want to rant lest you skip the review and/or this absolute masterpiece. Read it.The only downside of this book is that it may ruin all other webnovels for you. It sure did for me.

    In general, I like this work so far, but rather because there is nothing else to read from a similar genre. Good read already. However, the only thing that annoys me in this work, so much so that I decided to leave a review, is the constant limitation of the main "hero" in system points. In other words, nerf. The rest is readable. :)

    Overall this was a pleasant read for a change. I can't comment on translation accurate but it was nice for the gender pronouns to be correct!Ignoring the system itself the main character has to get stronger through cultivation. His real game cheat is simply the ability to acquire cultivation technique pieces(can be made into a whole) and then fusing them.He's extremely cowardly which makes it rather hilarious if not slower paced. He also doesn't realizes how much he has derailed the world through his own actions. It's the most fun I've had with a novel in quite some time.Unfortunately you rarely see gems like this chosen. I really do hope it doesn't fall into obscurity. I would love to keep up with this novel especially given how much effort seems to be put into the novel's editing.

    The mc is dumb, and thats the whole plot. Like he doesnt even try to improve himself. Even though thats the title. Its to the point that its annoying.

    "What if you could become the best League of Legends player of all time, overnight? "Cual es la gracia de un personaje que independientemente que tan compleja sea la situación , todo le salga bien.Los defectos son los que construyen al protagonista y si no los tiene el personaje no se siente humano , parece un robot ,un personaje unidimensional.Vamos de las 100k de novelas que tienen que qidian , no pueden encontrar un solo autor que se digne a intentar construir una historia decente ?No hay desarrollo de personajes , literalmente agarra cualquier otra novela de juegos , cámbiale el titulo del juego al del League of Legends  y no podrás distinguir las diferencias.

    Finally something new and different. The novel's plot is very enjoyable and the updating stability plus the length of each chapter is also pretty good. There was not once that i was bored or weirded out in the novel. Keep up the good work.👍👍.
