It’s a good story. Regression, 2nd chances, revenge, vr game. Nothing new, but it highly reminds me of Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed the World and I loved that novel. Ethan is an ok MC, though I do wish the author would make him a tad smarter. A couple of examples are the old man telling him about the coming disaster and that the game is not just a game. The old man tells him things that no one should know esp about his regression and what does Ethan do? Proceed to treat the game like a, well game ?. Another example is when he was picking the flowers and the old man warned him to leave the area or his real body would die. Of course that means continue picking flowers and explore a place that would literally send him to King Yama ???u200d♀️Another thing that irks me with this genre in general is the author forgetting gear, skills and their own world rules. Skills come out of nowhere conveniently for “plot,” there’s math involved in skills but I skip those parts bc I have yet to see an author remember or math it right. ??u200d♀️What I do like about the novel is the budding romance between Ethan and Lyla. The tag says no sisterhood, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the ice queen chick joins them. I like the guild aspect and the guild battles. Ethan isn’t a complete loner so that’s great. I am looking forward to the game world and the real world coming together. All in all, like most novels, it has it’s flaws but I would recommend it. Good job author. ?
