This review is after reading chapter 151 and as I’m writing this I am nowhere close to being caught up. So some of the things I’m talking about could have changed by now.
Alright so the novel overall is pretty good but it has some distinct problems that tend to annoy readers, including me.
The story overall has an interesting premise. The characters are interesting and I don’t really dislike any of them(except for the ones your supposed to dislike of course.) The story does tend to fall into some cliches and some situations that don’t make sense at times. Though it’s not really possible to make a completely unique story and for the most part the hiccups aren’t that bad.
Now the story itself doesn’t have to many problems, but the ones that it does have show up often enough to be a problem.
1) The author’s first language isn’t English and it’s pretty easy to tell. I personally don’t really care to much but I know it’s a turn off for a lot of people so just pointing it out.
2) In the story the Mc is called a genius by multiple characters as well as the author. This isn’t true at all as he’s shown to be average or slightly above average during the story. (and don’t even get me started on his eq.) The characters calling him a genius is fine as those that do are normally biased and it makes sense coming from them. I would also like to say that this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The mc doesn’t have to be a genius for a good story. There are plenty of good stories with mcs that are just smart, average, and even ones where the mc is a little slow. I personally think it’s more accurate to call him talented as he’s been confirmed confirmed to learn things fast.
3) This is related to my last point kinda but the author tends to make the Mc not realize certain things that are pretty obvious for the sake of the story. For one it kinda breaks immersion and 2 it further makes calling him a genius seem wrong. As I said before, there’s nothing wrong with your Mc not being a genius, but if based on previous experiences they would be able to figure something out either let them figure it out or change it a bit to where it makes sense that they wouldn’t. The worst part about this one is that within like a minute I can normally think of a small change in the situation or dialogue to make it make sense why he wouldn’t know. It makes it feel like the author isn’t putting that much effort in the story when he doesn’t really come off that way.
So overall it’s a really good story premise and I feel like if those problems were fixed the story would be so much better and would probably be a story I’m extremely eager to read instead of just enjoying.
Pros
World building
Loving family
Vr game mechanics
Cons
MC character is not consistent. He is supposedly a genius but I haven’t seen any such thing from him. Being a genius, he is also oblivious to females around him
I don’t mind stories with or without harem. But this one is obviously going for the non harem route with Luna as the fmc but leading lot of girls to the MC. Amanda is not properly resolved
Writing quality is fine and thats a give a way for what the story lacks and the story development is so so, not sure if it will improved in the future, Character Design is a bit problematic, The ppl surrounding the Mc is far from normal, theyre bunch of weirdos that makes one worry, idk if theyre experiencing a mental illness or something, being different from the rest is good but, the author made them off the chart like really. Her family being protective is understandable but her sister being a yandere that seems to infect the other character to the point of being a creepy themeselves is what ticked me off. Idk maybe not just for me but you can also try this one out, might works best and suit your taste.
While the setting of a VRMMO as a backdrop of a story is by no means unique nowadays, the author has managed to lure and maintain interest using the MC's past and the interesting implementation of gods and historical figure significance in the form of legacies - which in the context of this story is essentially inheriting said historical figure or god's legacy within the game. I have some speculations as to the significance of legacies as the story unfolds and further develops, but will refrain from doing so till more clues and hints are given.
Also, the gradual revelations of Isaac's past in the form of out of context character interactions, character behavior, and dialogue is a breath of fresh air as most authors like to info dump their readers within the first few chapters the entire background of their main character. The gradual revelations add a layer of mystery that acts as a driving force for the readers to continue reading in order to find out what exactly happened in Isaac's past for his character and the characters around him to behave in certain ways. It makes for a much more compelling way of storytelling as readers have to piece pieces of the puzzles using the clues that are given at that moment of time in the story.
There are some jarring details in the entirety of this novel, however, one of them being the constant mention of how "pretty" or "beautiful" Isaac is. From the constant misperception of his gender as a female from characters that do not know him, to his "flawless" skin that the ladies get jealous with envy of. I will give the benefit of the doubt and have faith that this is an intentional detail that the author has included in this novel and that it will tie in somehow to the bigger picture of the story later on. In addition to this, there are some inconsistencies to the author's use of literary devices - namely foreshadowing. Not gonna spoil it here, but it was the kind of foreshadowing that reveals to the reader in a single sentence what will happen in the future directly in an overtly obvious manner instead of subtly giving a clue. The juxtaposition of author's clever gradual revelations of Isaac, the world, and the characters around him and awkward bad foreshadowing is jarring to say the least- especially when the latter almost completely destroyed the surprise of certain aspects of Isaac's development in the plot that I'm sure will play a big role. Not bashing the author for this too much, but just wanted to give some feedback so such improper use of foreshadowing or any other literary devices would be improved in the future and in his other stories.
Overall, this story has potential and whilst it got some flaws, those flaws can fundamentally be improved upon if the author sets his/her mind to it. I am personally eager to see the development of Isaac and the plot and from what I have read so far, I would recommend this to all who may be interested when reading the synopsis and give it a go. To those who may be hesitant to dive in, still give it a try and formulate your own opinions as what others may not enjoy, you may love.
Writing quality is very good, very minor spelling mistakes(gendered words sometimes mismatched, couple words are missing a letter or have a wrong letter turning it into another word) overall you wouldn't really notice the mistakes and generally won't be missing any information due to the mistakes. There are some noticeably cringe moments in the book but overall, it doesn't make the book worse.
The story development is excellent. The author puts a lot of effort into the story and how it develops. The story lacks much of the info dumps commonly seen in the Vr gaming genre as the story takes more of a wait-and-see approach in understanding how the world works. The story develops outside the Vr world and the author creates a unique world that is not earth to help the reader suspend their disbelief and avoid large info dumps.
Overall the story so far is very good and interesting and doesn't feel like a bore to read. The story is still very early in its development but still has interesting plot points that engage the reader. For fans of the Vr genre, this is a treat that is different than other Vr genre books with how there is a real story outside the game and how the main character isn't overpowered or super serious about the game.
How does this novel irritate me? MC is stupid and slow. He is hailed as a genius but does not use his skills in battle. An overrated novel. He doesn't level up after getting the Mythic Helmet, but is a waste of time. I don't understand why there are so many positive reviews. The novel is extremely long. for a drop of the plot, a whole sea of useless information.
This is honestly a real good novel
The world building is really good and the characters are also somewhat unique
Although the obsessiveness that the female characters have is rather overdone a bit
Overall it’s a really good novel to read
Hm i like the mc but i dont like overprotective sisters it just makes me uncomfortable but the story is a great read for me and i like it maybe i will let it stockpile till its on chapter 100 and then read it boodbye

It may not seem like the Mc may be OP but that's because he's playing casually.
I think the Author is gonna write some sort of motivation so that he will play the game more seriously.
I also want to know more about he's background that made people call him a genius.
That aside I also like funny parts where his family is so overprotective of him and when people find he's a boy
