    Stolen fanfic. Just a simple google search shows that the original fanfic is from fanfiction.net with more chapters available there. I've seen this fanfic twice already in the past few months on this site with a different name each time, it's nuts. It's called Meddling Giant by cloud9stories with non-split chapters up to 30 and is currently ahead compared to on here. It also hasn't been updated in like a year probably because people like you keep stealing it. Why do so many people steal others work and change the name of the fanfic with no mention anywhere in the synopsis?

    Decent at the start but personally I didn't like the direction the story took (Chapter 10). Considering it's the chapter with the most comments it's pretty telling how bad most people took it. For those wondering, MC is no longer Harry but something else which I won't spoil. I wouldn't have minded the change if it was done well without losing the MC, but it wasn't and it felt unnecessary to the story considering the knowledge that he already had. It would of probably have been better to have just made an SI or something instead of the change that was made. Kudos to the author though as I think this is like one of the first SG/HP fanfics on here.

    Stolen story with nothing in the description mentioning original author, you even changed the original name of the fic. It's real name is called "Of Wands and Kunai" by Womgi on fanfiction.net and has 154k words and has been abandoned by the original author.

    This is stolen work. The real story is called "Meddling Giant" by cloud9stories on fanfiction.net. There is nothing in the description mentioning it. Seriously, what's with the amount of stolen storys lately? Atleast ask the author for permission before uploading. Hell even this copy has been copied badly in comparison with the original one. There's 30 chapters on fanfic.net with over 170k words compared to the crap on this site with split chapters.

    Truly a great Harry Potter fanfic that outshines a lot of fanfics on this site or fanfiction.net. Fantastic effort by the author to expand on the Harry Potter world and keep to the original lore while also adding new concepts. I've read all 23 chapters in a day and have been really entertained. Pros: -The system is very well detailed and is well implemented into the story. It's not just a randomly given "goldfinger/system" where the user automatically knows what to do. The system is built from scratch by the MC and expanded on while the story progresses. -Grammar is excellent. I don't think I've noticed or spotted any mistakes which is something that I really appreciate, as it's one of the first things I notice in any fanfic/novel. -I personally think that the world background is way more in depth than the original books due to the explanation on different magical cultures, creatures and locations that aren't really explained much in the original books. -Great character development from every character who keep their original personalities and mature and grow as the story progresses. -Fast updates considering the author has pumped out over 200k words in like a month with each chapter being pretty beefy. -Pacing is nice. It was slightly slow at the beginning where everything was being set up and explained but after that the story really speeds up. It's nice not having to always read a repeat of the beginning years at Hogwarts and instead have a good explanation/summary of some parts instead of needlessly padding the word count. Cons: -I'm personally ok with this as it was really well explained by the author as the story went on, but I think a lot of people that read this fic might get put off with the initial sharing of his system and just drop the fic, which is frankly such a waste for them as they are really missing out on an entertaining story. The sharing isn't even a full sharing, it's like a tiny part, which the MC can take back whenever and is monitored so like really while useful to people, it's still basic compared to the MC's system. -Only slight con for me is at times the MC seems to just pull out something OP out of nowhere. While implied that the MC is a genius/prodigy it would still be cool if there was more mention on the magic that the MC has created before instead of him being able to pull that out with not much foreshadowing. All in all this is probably my favourite HP fanfic in the last couple of years. I really find it surprising that there aren't many chapter comments or reviews for it considering it's quality. Kudos to the author for a great story.

    Definitely a unique story as I have never read a story where the MC can have multiple systems. Here is my review at chapter 43. Pros: -While it definitely has the cliches we are all use to reading in other novels, it's done well and is pretty entertaining. -If you are a system fan then this is a great novel as the MC has access to potentially an infinite amount of systems. -MC is definitely not instantly OP despite his systems. -Character interactions are pretty good and not flat. All characters seem to have their own personality. Cons: -Writing is understandable but it can be jarring to read sometimes as there are quite a few mistakes or sometimes missing words (beginning chapters) though that does improve the further you read. -This is more of a personal con for me as others may like it but I dislike systems restricting the MCs power/cultivation until the MC does a "special quest". The whole point of a system in my opinion is to progress fast as hell so this makes me sad. -Another personal con that others may like as it's a pretty common cliche in novels is that there always has to be a problem with the MC's aptitude (low) to cultivate. We all know that eventually that will probably change in the future but why can they never have average aptitude or something? :( As the story is still in the early stages, it's understandable that there isn't much world background though the author was starting to provide some info around where I stopped reading.

    "unmarked ninjutsu" should be "seal-less ninjutsu" or "ninjutsu without handseals".

    "dirty troubles" should be "dirty work".

    Due to the fact that the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Danzo Shimura were life-and-death comrades in their youth, the Third Hokage treated Danzo Shimura with great leniency, gave Danzo considerable power, and secretly allowed Danzo to handle Konoha's dirty troubles.

    "for the future work" should be "for future work".

    Especially considering that this guy was undoubtedly the most troublesome boss in Konoha. It was very necessary to find out about the boss's preferences in advance for the future work!

    Perceptual sounds like it should be called sensing/sensor or chakra sensing.

    Why use the word vindictiveness? It doesn’t fit at all. I’m guessing you mean spiritual aura/energy or something. Definition for vindictiveness= Vindictiveness is a strong desire to get back at someone. People who hold grudges and seek revenge are full of vindictiveness. If someone steps on your toe, and you put on boots to stomp back, you're full of vindictiveness.

    A decent fanfic of Against the Gods with a few changes that is letdown by the MC and with the story following quite a lot of the original story with sometimes minimal changes while also keeping the negative issues (rape) from the original story. The story has fantastic grammar and while there are not many changes to the story, the few changes are unique like the system he gets. The other characters also do feel real and not flat which is a bonus. The MC despite my dislike for him does also provide power boosts to his harem which is pretty rare in these kind of novels. The biggest issue by far for me is the MC. The MC is really unlikable just like the original MC and if anything, is sometimes worse. Here's an example, when the MC heads to the Wasteland of Death everything practically follows the original story despite the system making some changes here and there. In the end, the rape happens which really hurt the story and reader count in my opinion. The MC has knowledge of the novel Against the Gods BUT the MC doesn't think ahead. Like really? You know the story and don't prepare for the rape or even think about it in advance? It feels very linear and despite a few changes here and there nothing really has changed with the story. The MC is also really antagonizing for no reason and sometimes comes across exactly like the people he himself dislikes (young masters) and doesn't show much intelligence or planning at all. All in all it is definitely a decent read especially for those that don't remember the story well as it's kind of a good refresher, though like I said above, is let down by the sometimes minimal changes of the story due to "fate/Creation Goddess" and the behavior/personality of the MC . I will keep the story in my library as I do still feel it's entertaining and worth a read despite the negatives.

    First off I'll say that the grammar of the story is great and the idea was unique. Coiling Dragon was one of the first novels I have read so a fanfic of it is always nice to see. Light spoilers below. There are however a few big issues. In the first few chapters the MC declares to be less impulsive in this life due to his actions having consequences in his previous life. While calm in the beginning within a few chapters the MC throws that all away and becomes a lot more antagonistic than most Chinese MCs to basically everyone with power, which, funnily enough have consequences. I also do not understand the need for the non element during the test and while I'm not sure if that will change or not later, it is unnecessary drama that is more liable to annoy readers then make them want to read further. Considering he was known as "Fire" Fist Ace, many readers probably logically assumed that fire would be his element. Of course the hype before the element test where the MC of course antagonizes someone to then have the curve ball where he has no elements makes it that much worse to accept. Therefore I've had to unfortunately rage quit due to this cliché where there always has to be a problem with an MC in a Chinese novel. Good luck author, I still say that the novel is unique and definitely worth a read.

    It's pretty hard to review with so few chapters but what I can say is that it's pretty hard to read due to the translation/editing. Like the summary says it's basically about a dude who has an inventory superpower that decides to join a newly released VR game with 100% realism. As you'd expect the MC is able to take items from the game back to reality in order to increase the strength of his body in real life. The issue with this novel is that it's really hard to read as sometimes the story jumps as if it has skipped/missed a few sentences. The grammar and editing of this novel is sometimes even worse then MTL so while you can still read and kind of understand what's going on, it ruins the immersion. Lately there seems to be a huge increase in crappy translations that are MTL.
