It is a good story if you like a zombie apocalypse world where the MC slowly introduce the background plot and his preparations to once again engage in a bloody battle.
Okay. Okay. Okay. Just a little over 150 chaps. This novel is great, the author has a superb ability to write. His/her description of fight scenes, the wider world and even character interactions are vivid and inviting. The MC is powerful but still very much human, he isn't infallible and invincible which the author clearly underlines was his intention. Typically, I'm in summoning novels for the OPness but the author has devised a story captivating enough for me to read and enjoy without OPness in the way I'm used to. For all the above, Kudos to the author.It seems the author intended to subvert cliche tropes of typical webnovels, japanese or otherwise, and the work does exactly that... but not much else. It doesn't even do that all the time. For example, it is a well known trope in japanese web novels, for a beautiful girl or heroine to have a fondness for the MC for no apparent reason other than the fact that he is the MC and then for the MC to not know what to do with the affection. In this novel, the MC knows what to do, but the fact that the beautiful girl has an inexplicable soft spot for MC from the start of the novel in the first place means that the story perpetuates the trope it is trying to subvert. Most side characters don't get enough screen time that we understand why they are the way they are and their own background. Their unique quirks, likes, upbringing and character flaws are not aired out enough to allow any nuance beyond the basic. This translates to stereotypical side characters which seem to defeat the novel's commentary on WN. We have the person that hates MC for no real reason, babe that likes MC for no real reason, there is even a female in the first few chapters who tries to go out with MC because he beat her in a duel. Ridiculous. The MC's character is so bland I wouldn't be able to pick him out in a line-up. We don't see him experimenting with his abilities which is a great shame because his powers are based on his imagination. He can summon anything he creates (draws and specifies, I think) so the process of creating something to summon would be a unique experience this novel could have capitalised on. Instead, he seems to show up with a new power every time there is a fight and then says it was created after the fact.The lack of imagination for the MC's summon ability shocks me. The author limits the summoning to only constellations and within that, it is either some basic animal or a weapon. And all the destructive weapons are effectively nukes. There could have been more series of summons based on MC's first life on earth. Greek mythology, Egyptian, heck even Lovecraftian and monsters from games, there is so much the author could have drawn from, but they didn't. So though the summons are good, it is hard to see MC's power as anything other than wasted potential. Even with the above, this story would still be a solid 4- 4.3, that is just how great author's writing is. However, the author uses the MC and the wider story as a vehicle for venting frustrations at WN culture. They do this through frequent fourth wall breaks and whilst this is good for cracking jokes, touching on serious issues such as online bullying and even the occasional satire to drive the novel's parody element home, it is so frequent that it feels less like a positive contribution to the story and to us as readers and more like the author whining, b*tching or ranting about the experiences that they have had online. I I know how bad readers and users of these platforms can be. It seems the author has personally experienced these horrors. That is terrible and I offer my deepest condolences. However, this is not the right platform to address those issues. This really holds this novel back, it damages the sense of immersion and is equivalent to hijacking the story for Author's agenda. Even when readers console the author, he goes and does it again. This repetitive cycle only served to destroy this novel's potential.
Bookmarked, will read when it hits 50 chaps. Before that mark you usually barely get to dive into the story that you already find yourself waiting
Absolute trash that makes no sense. Just avoid it ..........................................................................................
This definitely is one of the best reviews and recommendations “spotlights” I’ve seen and the weak hero spotlight pushed me to read the WEBTOON and it didn’t disappoint
Great book! Story development is amazing and fun to read. Btw, How big is Kraton? And also, is there “old age” in this world i.e. do players get old and die eventually?
Keep up the good work a very good read so far will add another review later down the line. Happy to see that it is not your typical starting point and adding different world cultures in it.
I'm OK with the yaoi but plz don't marry the mc with that long whatever ......................ahh my heart........................................
Love the way the story keep you coming back for more. Clueless of some characters are cute. And the dominant of other make you to know when they will pounce. I wonder if their will be mpreg in it!
I really like this book. Too lazy to say anything else.... La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la...
This novel keeps cracking me up with how the author keeps reminding us Kai is a skeleton. Need MOAR!!! (more words here so I can post a review xD)
The story and world seem well thought out and interesting. The characters are a struggle to read. I keep stopping and doing something else for a while before coming back to this. I want to like it. I want to enjoy it because the premise is one I like and the world seems interesting. But I keep losing interest whenever I read character interactions. The language thing at the start is really cool. The wall/gate is interesting. I really like the fire dog fight. The premise of a mage in a cultivation world is a great one. I have read maybe three or four books that try to cover it and all were either cut short (Essence of Cultivation) or fell off (Dao of Magic).The MC and a potential FL are really our only two main characters in the first twenty chapters. The MC just feels off somehow. Disjointed. He has a lot going on and much of it feels like it doesn't have the emotional weight it should. The FL is painful to read. All the blushing, trembling, and other things she does rather than talking. This is a woman that is supposed to be out risking her life in battle, has gone through some apparently harsh life experiences, and she acts like a coy 4 year old who is also a well adjusted adult? I think the author is trying to run with the jade beauty cliche while also spicing it up/filling it out but again it just is not fun to read.I am glad I read it. I would encourage others to read it to see if they can get past the characters. But I won't be continuing from here.
