Today marks 3 months since I started writing the novel. So I figured to write an updated review about what I've done so far. + Overall, I wrote 390 chapters, with around 130 chapters per month, spanning across 4 volumes. + I've edited the novel many times to count. Most edits were aimed to make the reading experience better, enhancing the pace in the first volume, and listening to the readers' opinions about balancing the system with character development and world-building. + The first 4 volumes are considered the first phase of the novel. The novel has huge world-building, spanning across a VR game, Earth, and an apocalyptic world. The first four volumes are dedicated to showcasing these places, introducing the major side characters, introducing the villain and showing the type of conflicts that will keep happening on the long course of the novel. + Starting from this point, the pace will be accelerated, and lots of clashes will happen. + After 390 chapters, the novel is still harem-free, and the main focus is over the apocalypse, academy, and OP mc mainly, with little focus on the system and tech stuff. + I hope by the passage of 6 months, we'll be close to 1k chapter mark and the novel will be in the top 10 novels at WebNovel. See you at the 6-month review.

Author says hi! I started this side project as I have a daughter who loves Stranger Things. She kept asking me about the new series after watching the five seasons many times now. So I decided to write her this story, and give her a new adventure she may like. And the names she picked for me, so don't complain as it's out of my hands :D It's a fun project for me, but I'll try to keep updates regular and steady. And above all, even if it's fanfic, it's still starting from a point away from where the initial series started and ended. Besides, most of the original characters won't appear as well. Ranmaro.

Ah it should be "pass" not "bypass" :D Sorry about that, will edit it now!

Ah thanks, that's what the story was built upon. And yeah, let's keep the talk in here, better.

Well it's not over yet, it's just the start of new arc. The story still has too much ahead to tell. But the part that inspired me came from the clash between John and Mark, it's like Matrix fight between Neo and Smith

I've planned it from the start.

[Big Laser Cannon: Advanced!] [Description: A ferocious, heavy-calibre cannon capable of launching ten simultaneous laser shots that can track multiple high-altitude targets at the same time.] [Special Effect 1: Lightning Shower: Active!] [Description: Every 2 minutes, the cannon will lock on 100 targets and launch a shower of attacks for 10 seconds straight!] [Special Effect 2: Lightning Net: Active!] [Description: Every 10 minutes, the cannon will unleash a net that will cover up a ball-shaped area with a 500-meter radius that lasts for 1 minute. Anything inside won't be able to escape, and the ball will lower in altitude until it finally hits the ground with everything within its grasp!]

Not going to lie, I'm a big fan of Matrix :D
