Note: This is a Gilgamesh look-a-like. I repeat this is just a MC that looks like Gilgamesh from Fate. He comes with no cheats like Gate of Babylon and EA. Other than that warning here's the review. There's nothing really new. It is a AU but it is following the general outline of DxD. The MC is pretty ambitionless. It's said from the start that he wanted to be a devil so it was expected that he would join a peerage. It's also standard that the MC takes Boosted Gear and Issei dies... somehow without the MC actually killing him. This is one of those fanfics you read when you run out of things to read. Honestly the main problem with joining a peerage is world expansion. It's difficult to really move the world when he's attached to a weak master. Now before you complain about Rias being weak or the Power of Destruction being super OP remember that this is the start of DxD where she's pretty weak due to being a part of the original main cast which is the starter squad. Well, this is AU and the author has changed some thing so i kind of hope that it does improve on DxD's world and not just another "let's join Rias's peerage because i have no idea on how to progress the story" like so many others. Well it is interesting with some characters being introduced early but it is still early and it remains to be seen if anything happens.

This is just a review at chapter 4. I've read the author's past works and you can still some of the major problems in the story. First is that too many characters are introduced in a single character. I get that its just the start but a single chapter feels closer to a entire arc than a chapter. This probably one of the few times that wanted something to drag out. Due to this sort of arc as a chapter, it makes the story flow feel wonky. It feels like its going fast but story wise not much time has passed. If i had a recommendation to the author it is to use the chapters they written as a template for arcs and to spread content across multiple chapters instead of slamming everything into a chapter. Also since this is a multiverse/crossover fic. Please focus on one world before moving onto the next. Moving, changing, or introducing new worlds so fast gets annoying since that means more characters are introduced and sidelined for newer characters.

So the Good. It written pretty good. It has a great idea going for it. It has a lot of ideas. And that's about it really. The bad. Pretty much everything else. The first issue is the constant nerfs. The author nerfs the MC so much. The reasons for the nerfs occurring are also very BS. This leads to the second problem. My god the stat screens. Chapters are really small due to the fact that the author tends to use stat screens as word count filler. Don't do this. This is obnoxious as heck and annoying for the reader. The third is the story itself. This probably would've been the saving grace of the novel but instead it is probably the worst of the bunch. The author shows little to no knowledge of the nasuverse outside of waifus. Both the Apocryha and Fate/Zero arcs were just their most notable battles with a little before it. Nothing that makes the nasuverse interesting is added. And it's only one battle. There's no build up to it at all and that disappoints. Character growth is nonexistent due to constant nerfs to make it seem that he's growing but not really. Most of his power is stolen and how he managed to steal stuff isn't really revealed. I doubt a spirit could sneak into the vaults of Gods. But in the end it isn't truely his power and he doesn't really improve either. tldr: Its a disappoint. A wealth of good ideas ruined by the constant action and dumbness of the MC and BS reasons of the author.

I'll give a three. It's pretty good. A fanfic that actually tries to do something with all of the fancy background DxD has and not mindlessly following canon. If I had to give one flaw with this novel it would be that it feels a bit rushed. It feels like it's just moving from one battle to another with a few moments in between. It would be better if you slowed the pace down a bit to develop the MC's relationship with his harem. Other than that it's a pretty good fanfic.

This is quite dull. What came for was a Monster Taming Novel and what i got is a literal pet novel. Like many of the reviews say this is extremely fast paced though it's not really. It feels like it due to the author simply jumping to the next major problem with no build up at all. Most of the MC's pets are either bought with money or obtained from an antagonist after they abandon it. There is zero taming in this. There's like one or two times but they are hardly relevant. Honestly the cheat is one of the most used in a lot chinese novels with the hundredfold in its title and they all have one thing in common. The author shows a complete failure on math and logistics. This doesn't suffer as much but it does show occasionally. Other than that there's not much to say. The ending's weird in my opinion. There's little context and everything's sort off thrown at you with the last few chapters but at that point i was mostly skimming. This is a literally a pokemon novel with no hunting or searching for pokemon. It's either throw money to get whatever beast he wants or he gets it from the enemy and nothing more.

Only read to Chapter 7 before stopping. MC reincarnated with a Gamer System. Okay. Not uncommon for a DxD fic. Hating Rias. Okay. Maybe some minor or major deviation from canon. Interesting scenarios ahead? MC himself. A disappointment. He's extremely wishy washy. He comdemns Issei for becoming one of Rais's peerage members but then he considers doing it himself. He complains a lot about the fact that he's fucking weak. Of course he is. He's at the beginning of the game. It's fine maybe once or twice but it's repeatedly repeat and is annoying. It also suffers from some of the same problems as his other novels with info dumping about powers. This is fanfic. This shouldn't be a problem especially if you are using famous powers from famous series.

It's actually pretty good for a chinese novel. It's also one of the few novels to use Gu as a main fighting strength. Read it and then judge it. This is one of the few times where reading reviews is pretty much not worth it since a lot of the reviews are written by Reverend Insanity fans who didn't bother to read it before one staring it. This has a completely different cultivation system that doesn't solely rely on Gu. Also fanfiction exists and I don't get why people are salty about this. Seriously it's a chinese novel and a good chunk of them are copies of each other with some differences. Grow up and get used to it since this is pretty much standard fare in chinese novels.

So to start off with... this isn't a gamer story. This is a normal zombie apocalypse with a system. I repeat this is NOT a gamer story. This is a SYSTEM story. As for the story itself, it's okayish to bad. The System is badly designed to the point that it doesn't really serve much of a purpose. It reminds of an old zombie apocalypse novel, my OP shop in the Zombie Apocalypse. The system is just there for the player to buy stuff and that's how it feels here. Other than being a shop and a quest giver the system has zero purpose even though the story makes seem like there's more. I liked that he's alone in the beginning. This feels more realistic in that there's little chance of encountering another survivor early in the apocalypse. Either people are turtling in their houses or go out whenever the MC is resting. Pacing is bad. It's fast and when he encounters another human, it picks up quickly. Slow it down and space out the time in the story. Another thing to note is that he trusts the first human he comes across too fast despite growing up as an outcast. There should be some hesitation in trusting people, but he gives the girl his gun trusting her. He wastes medical supplies on her and even fights a boss zombie because of her. After the introduction to the girl the pacing beings to go too fast with introducing the world. First the ninja girl, then the gangsters, then the introduction to the world's logic... Simply put there's little downtime to actually absorb the information before the next big thing happens. There should at least be some downtime for the MC to absorb the information he's gotten but doesn't. That's the only real major problem with this novel. It moves way too fast for its own good and suffers.

It's okay. It's similar to Digging to Survive and it does suffer from the same problems as it. Author tries to world build a bit too much and ends up ruining a fairly simple premise in attempts to make action. Also lots of plot skips. Some stuff is skipped over and stuff appears out of nowhere like Irene who gets saved from an attack but the plot skips the part where they get her on their boat. Also lots of grammar mistakes with commas.
