tl;dr I love this novel as evidenced by my consistent position in the top 4 fans, but the author has been updating like 1 chapter a month for a few months now. He caught Covid-19 in November, supposedly recovered at the beginning of December, but as on today, January 5th, he's dropped like 2 chapters since. Will change my review when I see some stability in updates, but I can't recommend in good conscious that anyone invest their time and money reading if it's a dead, unfinished novel.----------Full ReviewAntihero has begun writing an absolute masterpiece of an online game novel. The MC's life inside and outside the game world reveal some excellent character depth and design, providing not just times of triumph and mastery, but also times of vulnerability and loss. This is often overlooked as Webnovel authors seem unable to let their precious MCs taste the pain of defeat, but it's these very moments of vulnerability and imperfection where we, the readers, can begin to relate with and build connections to the MC. And he is far from the only one whose struggles we observe and relate to. Antihero has written an impressive cast of characters into his novel, with my only critique being that I would love to know and learn more about the various members of his pantheon. There are still a number of characters that are barely touched on and I'd love to feel more invested in them and their tales, and see how they weave into the larger narrative.The ConsMy biggest complaint is an elephant in the room that many fans have respectfully remained silent about, but I've bit my tongue to bleeding and feel like someone has to say it: The update stability has gone to trash. In November, a fresh chapter was posted with an author's note at the bottom. Inside, we were told that the Author was hospitalized with Covid-19 and not to fret: this friend of the author had a cache of comics to upload daily for us! Well, good! I bought full Privilege with the promise that I would get something at least, even if it wasn't the multiple chapters a day we were used to... but no additional comics were posted that month. "Fine," I thought, "I want to support Antihero during his difficult time anyway."In the beginning of December, Antihero returns! Posting a fresh chapter, his author's note details his return and he promises to get up to 2 chapters a day, maybe even 3 a day come December 20th. Excellent! I wish him well and purchase Privilege again, trusting that more will be released. Again, no chapters are posted through all December...Now it's January, and Antihero has posted one chapter. I have not bothered to look for the author's note. I have not bothered to buy Privilege. It's been a few days and no additional chapters have been posted. Is the novel dead? Is Antihero milking us Privilege cows dry? Am I being too rough on the author by entertaining such a thought? I don't know, but I have resolved to cease paying for Privilege until I see the update stability has recovered.And Antihero, if you read this, I really do hope you're alright. Please make your intentions for this novel clear to us, your supporters.
I highly recommend this novel it has not many boring chapters and always get you hooked in it. Give it a try you might also like it. The story development in this good it's not to fast nor it's slow. You can really appreciate every character and how they live because they there own emotions and characteristics of there own.
The MC is supposed to be fairly smart and capable but can't really think for himself and just follows the plot of his system. The story takes place in the US but people bow and otherwise function as though it is a Gotham city version of china.Over all it might be an interesting story but I can't enjoy it as it constantly breaks ones suspension of disbelief.
A great story that scratches the apocalyptic itch with a great side of romance. The MC is F/M, but there is also a strong presence of yuri with there being 2 yuri couples and 2 f/m couples. I didn't think having most of the characters we follow in a relationship would be so good, I mean after thinking about it, it made sense. They only have each other so may as well enjoy it. It definitely doesn't feel like we are following one person's story, but it's the entire cast's story. We get the great highs of battle and then we get the slow interludes which also serve as ways for them to discover themselves as well as further their relationships. It feels like I am there with the squad experiencing the terrors of the world and laughing with them whenever they have a moment of rest.Overall give it a read, It has a bit of everything, so if you enjoy Yuri there is plenty of it and if you like F/M there is also something there for you. Love action there is plenty of arc of intense battles as well as mysteries being uncovered.
I have always loved reading about world changing story, how everything needs to adjust due to the change, like new normal, like us now! Hope you're doing well, safe, and healthy!! I'm awaiting for the next updates! and readers, don't forget to leave a vote everytime you read this book!
Full of action already from the first chapter! There were some minor errors with punctuation and wordings but the built up to the story is nice. I also like how mysterious the FL is, I want to get to know her! keep writing author!
