I genuinely appreciate this novel for several reasons. Firstly, the character development is impressive, with a diverse cast where most of Euishin's classmates are introduced organically, leaving just two more to come. Despite his occasional favoritism, which is relatable as he battles lung cancer and finds solace in the game, it becomes clear that his actions stem from a deep emotional connection.
Euishin exhibits self-sacrificing traits, such as when he deliberately injures himself to gain an advantage or even sacrificing sleep and risking his health like losing his left eye. The reactions of those around him to these actions are intriguing. What sets this story apart is its unique approach to transmigration. While Euishin might appear overpowered at first, he gradually reveals his true identity and employs subtle foreshadowing, making for a well-crafted plot.
What I particularly enjoy is the slice-of-life aspect, as Euishin not only focuses on his own character's growth but also takes care of their emotional and skill development, making for a compelling read. Overall, I am genuinely fond of this novel.
That was quite unsettling. I wasn't prepared for the extensive use of the (misleading) intrigue. Entering with an idea of what to expect, I won't complain. While the story's realism is questionable, the flawed characters feel very real – I actually found them all unlikable, save for SQY and a few supporting roles. Their captivating (and exasperating) nature kept me engaged despite my initial reservations.
The main reason I deducted a star was due to the lengthy monologues that unexpectedly delved into extensive backstory and context. These served to explain the characters' actions and the scene at hand, but they became tiresome, especially since I prefer to read every word without skipping. I almost stopped halfway through, finding them unnecessary yet crucial to the plot.
Regarding a comment I came across, another reader suggested that if the protagonist, YX, hadn't died in her original world, she might have crossed a line with her biological brother. That thought resonated with me.
I would rate this piece a 3.8 for now. My feelings are mixed. It's not a terrible read, but it has its flaws. The world-building is intriguing, albeit sometimes lacking depth. The story starts abruptly, with Song Shi waking up in a new world faced with the ultimatum of either awakening or dying. She doesn't awaken but avoids death due to another's awakening stopping the experiment. Additionally, her actions seem to catch the attention of the lead researcher, sparing her life. A mysterious system appears, revealing her potential to awaken two unique superpowers, healing and berserk mode, unprecedented.
However, there are inconsistencies in the character development. Song Shi lacks self-defense or combat skills, and her past life is largely unknown. The reason for her survival in the initial encounter with a beast is attributed solely to her berserker gene, without much explanation. The author focuses more on action sequences, but there's a lack of buildup or logical coherence at times.
For instance, after being warned not to reveal her dual-power status, she seemingly loses control and reacts impulsively, which contradicts her earlier portrayed mental prowess. Similarly, the sudden display of teenage bravery in facing a formidable beast tide seems unrealistic, given the discrimination against berserkers and the risks involved.
The protagonist, Song Shi, comes across as emotionally distant, and her motivations aren't fully explored. The author doesn't delve into her backstory or provide a clear reason for her strength and drive. While she aims to improve her system, the why is unclear. The reader struggles to connect with her since her previous life is barely touched upon.
Overall, the story is decent but could benefit from stronger character development and a more cohesive narrative structure. If you enjoy this genre and are looking for a passable read, it might entertain you. I'm yet to encounter any romance, so I might continue reading to see if that aspect improves the story.

3months and its still 80+ chapter
Anyone else feel the unnecessary information coming in? I'm getting sleepy just reading blocks of details that doesn't really piques my interest. I'm a slow reader so I'd like it if my imagination isn't used on imagining useless stuff. Seems to me the author likes to brag about detail rather than the story. The development's still faster than my wifi though.Edit: Spelling
Such an interesting story. ????
An interesting premise and main character unlike from other stories so far don't drop this author looking to see more. Although I would like for it to have more interactions between the main character and the heroine.
Even though i think Reverend Insanity is better, my enjoyment of outside of time rivals Reverend Insanity. Both are amazing. I only read Renegade Immortal from Er Gen before but that story was kinda all over the place.
time to reread after reading the manhwa
I love the story so far..! Keep on with the good job writer!
