I read past the MC being awed about everything, and acting like a complete noob even though he was supposedly part of the strongest group of people in his last life, but chapter 229 completely jumped the shark. Apparently, anyone can challenge anyone else to a duel of life and death, and if you don't show up you lose everything to the other side. Murder is legal, and if you don't show up to get killed by someone 3x your level, the government will help them. After that logic has been established, nothing in the book matters any more.
The start of the story is great, but from about chapter 180, there are dozens of chapters with repeating contents, missing huge chunks, and having numerous chapters out of order. With such a large section of chapters being basically unreadable, there is no point to read this novel for free, let alone needing to pay for it.
Neither common sense nor what the book tells you matter. No matter how powerful Liam becomes, other players are still able to pop out of the woodwork to steal from him or beat him. The entire premise of the game was that no one can hide how good they are, but even 700 chapters in new characters are showing up more powerful than anyone before, spouting off about how the real powerful people hidden. Ignoring inconsistencies like those, the book is also just plain frustrating to read. Even a simple quest gets delayed by 100s of chapters of new things popping up and shifts to look at different viewpoints, making the pace feel glacially slow as progress grinds to a halt.
It should be rune stones, as he had 6 before the 10 that he got as a severance.
The translation quality is poor, with a large number of mistakes that make it hard to understand what is going on. With this being a book focused on the creation of weapons, having all weapons with power translated into Divine Weapons, leading to divine weapons being something all students in his academy need to make a blueprint for to graduate a couple of sentences away from divine weapon blueprints being so rare that the academy doesn't have one.
The story is technically good, with few errors. The world is expanded upon as needed, learning a bit more than just what is currently used, but leaving things vague enough to leave room for development. I would say this is a good story, but the MC has no real agency, and it doesn't seem like he will ever get any. He was brought to the new world to entertain a god, and he will entertain that god. It doesn't matter what his morals or values are, he will do what the gods wants him to do. Quite frankly, I have no desire to read a story with the main character having no real control over themselves.
If you read chapter 225 when it came out, do not unlock this chapter. It is the final 3rd of what that chapter originally was.
