The once-mighty Holy Empire is crumbling.

Internal strife fueled by religious and cultural divides tears at its foundations, while neighboring kingdoms simmer with the threat of rebellion. The noble houses engage in relentless struggles for dominance, and the Emperor, desperate to maintain control, clings to what little authority he has left.

Caught in the middle of this chaos is Arnold von Hohenfels, heir to the Margrave of Hohenfels, who is unwillingly sent to the Imperial Academy—a ruthless arena where the Empire’s ambitious youth sharpen both their minds and their blades.

Gifted with a power that brings both opportunity and peril, Arnold must master the treacherous game of noble intrigue. Representing House Hohenfels, he is forced to navigate dangerous rivalries, forge uneasy alliances, and keep his reckless cousin Friedrich from making enemies of the wrong people.

If he had a choice, he’d be anywhere else.

An incredible story that uses interesting cultivation techniques and interpersonal connections. The author knows what he's doing and has really thought this stuff through. I got so much more than I was expecting and I love it. I am over a hundred chapter in and recommend pushing to get to these chapters. The rest are great too, but without realizing, he was really just setting up pieces for the game to begin.

I really love this story but the author consistently has the main characters pronouns wrong. Char is referred to as she/her almost always even though he is a man. Same for his female friend who is referred to as he/him even though she is a woman.

So, here is your author here but I will not just give a shameless review here. I will tell you all the good and the bad points of this novel.You can decide to read it or not after that. The good points:A calm MC: Lu Fei is mature, not brainless just because he's OP or something. He used to be a mercenary in a fantasy world, so he experienced the so called human nature there. He's not a guy who would blush talking to girls or hesitate to even insult them.The game: Ark is going to be one of the highlights of the novel as the whole novel is mostly based on it. NPCs would just like be regular people and the interaction between them and Lu Fei would be one of the highlights of the novel.Weak to strong: Lu Fei would not just become too OP from the start. He would struggle and even die sometimes but he would still be stronger than an average player.Romance: It's one of the points I am confident you will like. It's going to be sweet, like really sweet. There would be more than one girl liking him but I can't say about the harem.Characters: Characters would be unique and even some typical characters will have some unique points or a back story.Chapters: The chapters will be 2k in length, which is above average in WN terms.The bad points: The start: The first ten chapters can get annoying to some people as there would be some info dump and the game part will only start on the 6th chapter.Similar start: Many people will feel that the start is similar to other novels. A debt and a sister to take care of, but it will change as the story will progress.Plot holes: There would be some plot holes in the novel. I can't do anything about it as every novel have it.Not an OP MC: I know that VR novels in WN is filled with an OP MC who had come from the future and knows everything. This is bad point because most of the users look for an OP MC. I can't think of more bad points and it's up to the readers to decide in the end. I will advise the readers to read both bad and good reviews before reading the novel. Give a review, either positive or negative.I don't think there would be any problems with the grammar unless one is a grammar Nazi. I will end my words here.
