Dark Sand: My Players Are All Actors

I'm only at chapter 92, but I have to say. This novel's beginning (first 90 chapters) is simply mindblowing! A fusion of history events and player mob with unique elements. It's in the same genre as novels such as e.g. "Monsters are coming", but the quality is simply on a complete different level. It kicks off soon after the start, and the way the author writes the plot is captivating and intriguing. It's easy to see that he has put a lot of effort to create something good. I'm only worried that as chapters go on, it will be hard to maintain this degree of quality, as the bar is set really high, and creativity can't always keep up. But it has already given me something that many other novels did not. The novel allows me to re-experience the pleasure of reading books, the ,,flow" state when I read with relish. Chapters keep me excited, I don't skip paragraphs like in many other novels. Only one comment besides mine? Come on, it should have some more.

I don't really like any time related concept in novels because it become an easier path the author can do by overpowering the MC by cultivating 300 years in a single day and overpowered opponents and being seen as a 'genius'. I read this novel with no exception whatsoever at first just for the 10 minutes but it wasn't as I thought. it intrigued me and made me read until chapter 47 and here I'm writing a review. so I recommend reading it. it's pretty good. I don't if it will continue be as its or change in the future but so far it is interesting and good. I'm not good at writing reviews but yeah as I said I recommend reading it.

So, I have finished it. Overall, the beginning is the strongest as mentioned in my initial thoughts comment. I really enjoyed and savored it. As for later chapters, the plot itself is neither well planned nor well built. As time goes on, it becomes more chaotic and lots of possible content is skipped by the writer as if he wanted to finish it asap. But that's also understandable, as the author's child was born & it was written somewhere in year 2020. His focus went on real life things and he was too distracted writing it. The plot became kind of ridiculous, lacking essence and organisation. But I still consider the novel one of the better ones when it comes to this specific game type genre, and despite its weak points I was able to finish it instead of dropping. As for other things, it obviously has e.g. lots of natIonalism included, but oh well....
