Honest reviews are here..
[Extreme Spoiler Alert]
This is a story about the whole group of teenager, 16 years old kid who all in the same class and been summoned to the other world to become their saviour against the dragon race.. The novel title has already described what kind of novel is this, "An Extra's POV" which is about MC who are hiding his true strength from everyone and acting behind the scenes..
Before arriving at the other world, everyone can pick the skill and class based on their Karma point everyone have.. MC who pick an SSS-rank skill: Doppel, which will be able to copy anyone skill with a limit of 100 slots.. But because he picked SSS-rank skills, which use up all his Karma points, he lost all other perks such as his profession/class and opportunity to pick multiple skills.. All his classmates have better proffesion/ classes (C-tier class the lowest and S-tier class is the highest) and multiple skill..
Mc is the only one who has F-tier class: commoner.. Because of this, MC basic stat is the lowest.. He gained 3 unallocated stat points (SP) every level up.. But later, MC got an A-tier class: Anomaly, which gave him 6 unallocated SP every level up.. And the higher the class, the higher the unallocated SP gain on every level up..
For example, there are an A-rank pets who gain 30 unallocated SP every level up and an S-rank summon creature who gains 100 unallocated SP every level up.. Yes, unfortunately, MC has a low stat point, which is one of the downside of this MC in this novel.. It is probably the author ways to balance MC strength..
If we not including MC basic stat point, MC is super OP with his SSS-rank skill.. He managed to copy almost all his classmates' skills.. And he even manage to copy other strong people, other races, Dragon, and monster.. He can also fusion the skill (combo the skill temporarily) or merge the skill (permanently) to save the slot space because of the 100 limited slots..
MC also created another persona, Ralyks, which is a cool adventurer who is overwhelmingly strong, righteous, reliable, always calm, and merciless toward his enemies.. Most of the time, he is in this persona..
The author style kinda like to dragging stuff.. He tends to drag most topics.. One chapter will stretch up to 5+ chapters.. The author will explain from all aspects, from MC POV until others POV (Including the POV of the monster.. Ex: hobgoblin).. The author will put many empty talk, the thought of EVERYONE (MC think like this and this.. Then other people thought this and that), and many useless things that just drag the story..
But what can we do? The storyline is that good to the point that many people can't stop reading it and fall by the charm of this novel..
First of all, I hate Esme (one of the female characters) because MC becomes pathetic, blind and idiot in front of her.. She kinda girl who can see through MC and also a super burden that need to be carried by MC.. MC totally broke his composure characters and persona in front of her..
[Once again, Reminder: Extreme Spoiler Alert]
There are a few characters between his classmates that OP too.. The 1st one is Adrien, where he exactly act like MC which hides his strength from EVERYONE, and only MC knows his true strength, but the moment MC knows it, it is already too late.. Adrian already left the group.. He has SSS-rank skill: Creation..
Yes, MC can copy skill while his hidden rival can create the skill.. Right now, he barely has any screen time, but he kinda like bad guys who orchestrated behind the scenes and going to be MC strongest opponents.. Yeah, it kinda weird that MC didn't copy Adrien skill when he 1st time used it.. Probably not to make MC more OP than he already has..
The 2nd one is the reincarnator, the hero, Adonis.. On the previous timeline, MC is the strongest among classmates and plays an important role, but somehow, MC picked this guy, Adonis, to return and change the timeline.. Well, the reason is Adonis is quite weak, so the cost to reincarnate Adonis will be lesser than MC, who are strongest..
So, Adonis got reincarnated as far as the time rewind send him.. When? To the time he still a fetus in his mother womb.. "If" MC got reincarnated and because of the cost is too high, MC probably got reincarnated after they arrived at this otherworld.. But that going to be bad because they can't pick the skill and class again.. That their main reason to rewind the time, to pick a skill and class that will help them against dragon race.. So, the risk is too high..
Adonis has been the weakest, but change his life this time around and became a rightous hero with a powerful skill.. And MC is helping him behind his back.. Please noted, MC has no memory from previous life. Plus, he also doesn't know anything about Adonis got reincarnated..
Everything from Ch.1 until Ch.500 is awesome, the best, and almost perfect...... UNTIL CH500+..... Here is where everything changed.. From OP MC into a pathetic MC.. One of the MC skills is replicate himself.. This skill will divide the stat and level equally among themselves.. For example, a lvl.140 MC makes a clone (two body:real and clone), each will have 50% stat point and lvl.70, equally divided by two..
But what worse, apparently, when the MC clone dies, the stat point and level of the clone will be permanently lost.. Yes, around Ch.500, his clone died, and MC, who already has a LOWEST stat point, becomes even lower than lowest.. His stat and level got reduced by HALF.. Wow... So dissapointed with this development.. I, as a fan of this novel, almost become a hater..
I stopped reading because I couldn't read it.. The more I read, the worse the story goes.. I can't count how many times I am disappointed.. First, MC loses his clone, then his stat and level.. Then, he lost his chance to copy ALL powerful skills from MANY DRAGON..
Then, he almost died MULTIPLE times by the same creature, and MC desperately tried to kill it.. He acts like stupid and loses his cool and just bombarded his skill like a desperate kid who throws every object he found to villain without thinking anything..
His other persona, the identity as a Ralyks also been forcely reveal in pitiful ways.. He also have to sacrifice many of his powerful skills to grow stronger but I not sure if it worth it.. There are many thing happened after Ch.500 and most of it, I hate it..
The new dungeon arc, Ch.450-Ch.500 kinda like MC been play right into someone's hand but the ending of that arc kinda awesome.. But it already developed the uneasiness feeling there.. So, that is why after continuous irritate feeling after Ch.500, it getting worse and worser.. The displeasure and frustration continues to build up.. To the point that I can't stand it anymore.. Defeat after defeat.. Die after die (almost).. Got weaker and weaker..
Dear author, why?? What is these sudden abrupt of change?? The story also almost perfect before.. Seriously, before Ch.500, I was amazed by the storyline created by the author.. As someone who loves OP MC and this novel, I am glad I found these gems.. But after Ch.500+, I were like "What has happened??" I was very disappointed and heartbroken..
I try to continue reading but I can't.. It getting worse to the point that I scare to read as I don't want to become hater on something that I used to love it.. So, I give 5 stars before the novel getting worse.. It is my honest review..
I guess I will just stop being a fan for now.. Well, who knows, maybe one day's, I will pick up this novel again.. Yes, someday in the future..
