if i had to describe it it would be the mc does evil things to bad people so that he can be a worse person
Very underrated. And very incomplete on this platform.
At least from the first chapter, I'm going to assume this is suppose to signify that the conversation is mental and not in words.
Could be wrong of course as I only have the first chapter as a reference.
This book is highly underrated, despite some rough patches in the initial two chapters due to translation issues. Patience is key, as the quality improves significantly later on. Unlike typical art-focused novels, the prose is straightforward and impactful, especially when experienced through Van Gogh's重生视角. His character development, including learning Korean and adapting to modern society, is endearing.
The bond between Van Gogh and his newfound grandfather is heartwarming and supportive, with everyone around little Vah Gogh recognizing his talent gently, nurturing his growth rather than idolizing him. The story avoids an overly dramatic plot where everything revolves around extraordinary claims.
The author subtly explores the intricacies of the art world and its values without being preachy. Instead, they delve into the struggles of artists and the historical context that shaped the art scene.
I highly recommend giving this story a chance!
The main character is endearing, despite their tragic yet hopeful nature. Although there are familiar tropes that typically don't interest me, the author skillfully subverts them with clever twists. It's evident that thought went into crafting the story. Initially, I found Torch's actions towards Emmy frustrating, particularly as they contributed to her struggles. Emmy has valid reasons to be angry at him:
1. He deceived her about his abilities, causing her to suffer the consequences.
2. His failure to deal with the bandits led to an attack on her outside the village.
3. Losing her only family member who genuinely cared about her, a loss she'd never experienced before.
However, a surprising turn of events occurs when it's revealed that Emmy actually killed and consumed the supposed hero's helper, the holy beast. Ha! What a satisfying revenge against the hero, Emmy.
The synopsis requires slight adjustments but effectively conveys the essence of the story. The protagonist is transported into a video game, offering an intriguing twist: there's another character in the game's narrative who was also transported into a novel, set within the same fictional world as the game. The main character's uniqueness lies in their limited magical prowess due to a medical condition that unexpectedly benefits them, though the details remain unclear.
Given the current machine-translated state, it's challenging to judge the writing quality, as acknowledged by the disclaimer on the translator's site, which warns of potential errors. A more polished translation could elevate the novel to a decent read. Despite the protagonist's seemingly weak single ability, they excel against opponents with multiple talents, which might need some balance for character development, considering the novel focuses on progression rather than an already advanced plot.
Overall, so far, the book seems promising with room for improvement, earning a rating of 3.5 out of 5.
This is one of the exceptional hunting/Dungeon-themed BL novels. I really enjoy the main character and the storyline has a great pace. However, the translation quality is lacking, as it appears to be machine-translated (MTL). Although it's somewhat comprehensible, I had to stop reading at chapter 106 due to increasing confusion. I hope for a more accurate translation to be available soon. By the way, there's quite a bit of male-bonding content, which some might find amusing.
"Naruto Dimensional System" is an exhilarating read that seamlessly combines the beloved Naruto universe with mind-bending dimensions. The author's imagination takes the reader on a thrilling adventure, as our protagonist navigates through parallel worlds, blending action and character growth in a captivating way. The narrative keeps one on the edge, while the unexpected plot twists make for a delightful surprise. A must-read for both die-hard Naruto fans and those who enjoy immersive, original storytelling.
its ok young one, in order to turn your brain on and off by command. You must first read 1000 chapters of Machine Translation before you read the human translated text
Oh, it seems that no-one is reading or recommending this story. A shame.I’ve read up to chapter 585, so I feel like I can give this story some sort of review from what I’ve read so far. Some potential spoilers, of course, though I’ll try to keep it vague where I can.The novel sort of starts itself as a mystery novel with some horror in it. It’s kind of like the beginning of the author’s other work, Way of the Devil, except that story starts off as more horror with some mystery.In some ways, this story reminds me a lot of Bloodborne (with the author’s own twist to it) with the whole traveling to different areas/worlds through a dream world-hub. And there’s a deity-made “plague” which turns people into beasts (known in this story as the Blacktide which turns people into berzerk puppets or monsters). And this time, when you die, you wake up and there’s like a bit of a penalty where you have to recover the fatigue lost before entering the dream again to explore. Very Souls-like. Kind of interesting to read in story form.In other ways, it reminds me of Solo Leveling, as MC (Lin Sheng) kills tough enemies in the dream and then can absorb them and turn them into his compatriots/minions who he can summon in the real world. It’s especially interesting as he tries to figure out how to kill those way stronger than him so he can have very powerful summons to back him up.The world-building has a similar dichotomy to Solo Leveling, where its MC goes into solo dungeons unique to him, gets powerful minions, and then uses them in the real world to gain a footing in the real world’s power system, except this story’s MC can’t summon in the dream, so the dreams are still a solo-only experience, and stay a mystery that the MC is trying to solve bit by bit.He “fakes-it-till-he-makes-it” in the real world by creating his own organizations and masquerading them as hidden, powerful forces (with his summons as members) which he uses as coverup for his actions in the real world and to gain some authority in it.Bit by bit, MC explores different worlds and learns different types of powers. He stays pretty much desperate for strength as new threats emerge or get stronger and he scrambles to try and catch up to protect his family. At the beginning, he’s kind of feral, doing whatever he can to survive and increase his knowledge of the world, killing people here and there to absorb their souls and gain their knowledge, not really knowing what to do, where to go, or how to progress, and making plenty of mistakes along the way. But eventually, he reaches a comfortable power level where he can finally act a bit more like a “big boss” character and make his organization a supreme powerhouse. He’ll realize more about himself and his desires and then streamline his power and attains a true boss status for himself.Interestingly enough, unlike the author’s other stories, this MC is more inclined to focus on protecting his family. His whole power set is built around protecting others and gaining power from the support of his followers. It sort of reminds me of Yhwach from Bleach, where Yhwach gives power to others and in return can harness it to power himself up once they’ve mastered and built upon it, except Lin Sheng is not cold-blooded to his underlings like Yhwach is.Though, to be honest, the MC does use “holy power” and becomes the “Holy Emperor” of his “Holy Sanctum”, and he can control the fates of those who use and build upon his power at any time, so there are some definite parallels between him and Yhwach’s holiness power theme, especially when MC gains some very limited version of Yhwach’s series-signature ability to see into the future and take advantage of that in combat. So yeah, maybe there’s an argument to be made that he has Yhwach powers.Anyways, there is quite some growth from MC, where he starts off not knowing anything and crawling his way through everything, to getting a sense of direction and actively expanding his empire to combat the looming disaster that will destroy his world and his family if he doesn’t do anything about it.Very much an MC who’s motivated to protect his family (even if he does most of the heavy exploring himself while letting his organization do more of the management stuff and smaller, more tedious explorations). Quite different from the author’s others MCs who are emotional loners who most of the time have the world as their enemies, even the organizations they join being untrustworthy. But this MC is far from a goody-two-shoes, as he has been meddling into the affairs of other worlds (that his other MC compatriots are already well known for) and his actions are far from the actions of a “nice guy”, even if they aren’t particularly villainous in nature.If you generally enjoy the author’s style of writing but want something that feels a little bit different from their other works (maybe it won’t seem like it right away, but it will eventually), then this is an interesting story to pick up.
WAIT WAIT!!! so there is still no development between the FL and ML in the real world?
Did anyone figure out what happened? As it’s been three months with no new chapters
