I really like this.Long story short, this novel is about a gamer named Jo Eui-Shin who played the very unlikable game for around ten years. So far he was the only gamers known who played that game (kinda like how Dokja's the only one who read Way of Survival). In the end of his life (because of cancer), the game was update for the last time, but the ending was not satisfied Eui-Shin. He then died with a little regret because he can't save his 'playable characters' in that game.When he woke up, he realized that he was suddenly in that very game he played this whole years. In the very first chapter nonetheless. So he thought, it was his chance to change the game plot and save the characters he loved..The plot is smooth (though, a little bit slow) and power system is quiet easy to understand. I like how this novel is more focus on other characters in the POV of MC, Jo Eui-Shin, while at the same time the readers are also given clues here and there about the MC himself. Every supporting character has their own importance to the story. I can say almost all of the characters is not being left behind by the author. Like, the one character was showed up in early chapters, then they never seen again, but dozens chapters later, they are mentioned to actually drive the plot 'till now. And all of more important characters, especially Grade One Class Zero (since they are the main characters) have their share amount of portion to shine.Jo Eui-Shin, the MC, is also very interesting. He's kind, smart, good-hearted, and always cherished his 'playable characters'. Though, he can be silly sometimes, especially in front of something adorable, but that's one of his charms.He's not naïve, but not ruthless either. He can beat up his enemies just fine, but when it came to killing, he always hesitated to do so. Before this life, he was a normal human without any exposure to dangerous situation like that, anyway, so that's understandable. That's why in the end of battles it's either the enemy ran away, or being held/killed by someone else.His role is more like a mastermind. He planned everything, calculate any probability, while guide his friends to do their own roles perfectly so they can level-up. Though, he's not alone. He needs his closest allies (especially Hwang Jiho) to discuss and execute the plan. He can't do it by himself.Another factor I like this novel is the mystery and question I had about all of it. Just when one question is answered, other questions came. No, actually it goes like answering one question with another question. So, when reader finally knows something, they face with another mystery once again.Jo Eui-Shin is also a mystery himself, but for other characters in the novel. The readers already know about his skills 'Player Trajectory' and 'Destiny' which actually very rare in mention as too good to be true. But how he hides them from everyone is very fun to read, especially from Hwang Jiho who always full of curiosity. Well, for this, I'm rooting for Jiho to crack a mystery called Eui-Shin. I wanna see Jiho strip Eui-Shin naked from his secrets..Anyway, for you who hesitate or stop reading because of translation, don't worry. The translation is getting better and the previous bad chapters are already fixed. Though, the teams need time to translate new chapters. But hey! It's fun to re-read it since we keeps got new clues linked to what happened in earlier chapters...I'm sorry I'm mumbling alot. I just like this novel.
