The King's Mandate: Anomalous System

I am the EXP of my sword... EXP is my blood... and EXP is my body...

I have created over a 1000 useless reviews...

Unknown to death, nor know to life...

Have withstood pain to create many more useless reviews...

Yet, those hands will never write anything useful...

And so I pray...

UNLIMITED EXP WORKS

OK, this is my second review on this novel, and although it is mostly the same thing as before, I have to say that the author's foreshadowing are worth looking into even if the start is somewhat horrendous whenever the Mc isn't around his parents or girlfriend. Overall, a great romance story, the author even being able to pull off a difficult tag such as harem thanks to his character creation abilities. Those guys grow on you like a fungus, but in a good way. The Mc himself is sometimes infuriating, but as you watch his thought process for longer, you will inevitably understand what the author is trying to make of the reader-MC connection. I could talk more about this or that development, but just the fact someone pulled those kinds of plot points successfully makes me want to femboy, nevermind the respect that blossomed from all the proper discussions and dialogs, which lead me to write this relatively long review and not want to hide it behind some block.

Fazit first (200 chapters): It is an interesting story, worth reading.

The story starts very chaotic in the early chapters. Many things seem to make no sense whatsoever. Over many chapters the reader learns more and more about the multi layered secrets around system, VR as well as real world with their royalty.
The characters seem emotionally scarred with many callenges. At Ch 200 things are far from solved, but there is at least some clarity about the situation and the background. History seems to matter quite a bit, and it comes to light bit by bit over time. The reader learns about (almost) everything with the MC - step by step - and there are very few 3rd party POVs explaining things.
The story is a good read so far and I will write another review once I reach the current chapters. Around chapter 200 things seem to kind of  "start off" and get even more interesting.
There are lots of weird things in this story, but I believe the author will solve everything in due time. So: My recommendation - go for it!

The novel has romantic content and mild sexual themes (on the level of kissing, petting and making out including felatio) which should be rated R-16. (up to ch 200, I have not yet read beyond)

ok i'm liking it so far, but god damn is it annoying reading how obsessed das is with elena. like, he saw her die in a video game and he felt like his soul was ripped out? give me a break man. one of my biggest pet peeves in novels are overly emotional and romantically obsessed protagonists.

I have read till chapter 47 and as a fellow author, I appreciate the efforts put down by this fellow author. When you read the story, you will learn that it was written. Yes. And when you imagine the scenes, you will learn that the author also imagined. Yes.  (～￣▽￣)～

Conclusion
Warning (includes spoilers)


short review:
A must read story for harem fans. A good romance story but not for those who are coming after VRMMORPG tag.


long review:
pros:
1) Author did a nice job in romance here. A 'true hidden gem' for harem fans.
2) This is a little dark novel. But also has fluffy side. Contradictory huh? Read it and you might understand.
3) One word for world building: FANTASTIC! With put real hard work in creating the plot and the mystery. This world still after so many chaps is a mystery.
4) I love the writing format of the novel. Especially those moments of system (not a spoiler since it's in tags) but yeah! I loved it..
5) Characters created by the author are awesome! They all feel real, they have their own personalities and ambitions, something many authors of these days lack.
6) This novel surprisingly contains humor. Yeah ik there is a comedy tag, but despite the tag most of the novel do stupid jokes.. like fart jokes and the likes. This one I truly enjoyed the comedy moments.
7) the interactions between the characters are awesome!! This is how conversations in reality takes place, something which cannot be easily portrayed! The interactions between the mc and his girls never failed to put a smile on my face at the end of the chapter
8) I love how the author released few chaps with his girls POV (tho mainly focused on FL, but still a plus)


cons:
1) [NOT REALLY A CONS] As mentioned above this novel has a dark side despite the fluffy romance moments.  (This depends person to person, for me a pro)
2) [NOT REALLY A CONS] No probs with updates. My basic requirement with updates is (7ch/d for og) & (14ch/d for tl). But this is my personal scale so you might as well ignore it.
3) There are few typo errors. No prob with grammar.. (well there are prob with pronoun at the last chaps i read like mistaking mc for she) but mainly spelling mistakes and misplacement of words.
4) The writing.. I already mentioned many times in my comments but it is confusing few times who is speaking what.
5) Even though the interactions are awesome, we many times fail to grasp the emotions and facial expressions of the characters, since it's never mentioned what expressions the characters really have on their face.
6) pacing i felt sometimes it was little slow. It would have been better if it was a little faster.


IMO:
- maybe if the confusion of who is speaking which line is reduced it might become a better read
-


RATINGS:
writing: 8/10 (pro-4&6 & con-3&4)
update: 8.5/10 (con-2)
plot: 8.5/10 (pro-1,2&3, con-1)   
characters: 8.5/10 (pro-5,6&8)
pacing: 8/10 (con-6)
dialogues: 9/10 (pro-7 con-5)
entertainment: 8.5/10
OVERALL: 4.2/5


Conclusion:
As a harem fan, I would definitely want this novel to get more attention!! Also to the readers please support this novel with at least powerstones if possible!!
And thanks to the author for the chaps as always!




WARNING:

*SPOILER (not exactly)*










- MC may seem a little edgy.
- rather than a anti hero, one might as well refer him as evil
- sometimes mc is sharp and sometimes dumb (there is a reason tho)
- mc is dense af!

I like this novel a lot. It's amazing. The only thing that I don't like is the harem.

This is a well thought and well written story that takes it’s time to setup and build not engaging in mindless action. The characters have depth and are explored nicly along with the story. normally I don’t like game novels but this Book stands out especially in characterization and character interaction. this book deserves more attention pls share and reviwe so the author can continue to make quality work. Recommended.



Now go and read!
