The group puts up volumes on kindle before slowly releasing the chapters for free, so I read much farther than NU lists.This series has its serious moments and climactic battles, but the author knows that it is a comedy at its core and it shows. The fights are straightforward and often feed into recurring jokes.Despite being a reincarnated into a game novel, the author does not limit themselves to the game's setting. Of the 6 volumes I read, only three were about characters from the game. The MC (Bai Lian) skipped most of the game's dialogue, so the author only really relies on the trope to give basic background on events + characters and assess how much skills / items are worth. The butterfly effect also quickly derails events Bai Lian are involved in, so the series feels much more natural than others of its genre.One of my favorite things about the novel is the wide cast of characters. As I mentioned above, half of the volumes have been about characters who were not involved in the game. Each volume also tends to introduce a few side characters, many of which are foreshadows or come up in later volumes as well. While the main characters become a bit passive when it's not their volume, the author does a good job of keeping them present and involved.PS: The author does not drag on the secretly-weak gag for too long as some novels do.Bai Lian is always overestimated by her surroundings but still grows into her reputation as a natural saint. Instead of remaining a helpless weakling like in the game, she grows stronger and gradually becomes able to hold her own in fights. She has decent knowledge of cultivation. She can't do everything since she isn't a Mary Sue, but she isn't helpless either.
