Lapllace

​A very interesting and well-written story. The main character is especially good - his personality is exactly the type I always enjoy reading about. He is highly intelligent, manipulative, and not a typical "hero" like in other stories. He only takes action if it affects him or his family, or if it brings some kind of benefit to them. This is wonderful, 10/10.

​My Review: 4/5 ★ ​To be honest, I'm not really feeling this novel so far. I’d give it a 4/5, but mostly because I still like the MC - the author always writes great protagonists, so no issues there. The real problem is the world-building and how the story is being handled. ​Here’s what’s bugging me: 1. ​The Apocalypse Setting: I’m just not into this whole zombie/end-of-the-world vibe. It feels like the next 100-200 chapters are just going to be stuck on this one theme, which gets boring pretty fast. ​2. The Harem Pacing: In the author's previous work, the pacing was spot on. There was time to actually get to know the world and the girls, and there was some real drama. Here, because of the apocalypse, everyone just joins the harem almost instantly. It feels rushed. ​3. The Diary Idea: It’s a cool concept, even if it’s been done before, but the execution is a bit of a letdown (again, because of the setting). It would’ve been way more fun in a normal world where the MC doesn't reveal himself right away. Imagine him teasing the heroines and messing with their heads while they’re trying to figure out who he is, all while he’s right under their noses. There were so many better ways to play this. 4. ​Miku Yuuki: I really didn't like that the MC brought her into the team. If you’ve read it, you probably know why. Even if she’s not a major character, her being there just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. ​Final Thoughts: If you love zombies and survival stories, you might actually enjoy this. It’s not a "bad" novel, it’s just not my cup of tea. Knowing how this author usually writes, I feel like this could have been done way better - like having the apocalypse start after chapter 50, then spending some time resolving it and showing how society tries to rebuild itself. That would’ve been much more interesting

Harem pls

It was really promising at first, and the world-building is great, but the protagonist started getting on my nerves. It's not that he's poorly written, but once the 'main heroes' of his own novel were introduced, he started to feel too plain. He’s nothing special compared to them. The male leads he 'created' are way more interesting, and honestly, I’d rather be following their stories instead.

1. ​The protagonist’s "principles" are incredibly annoying. They actively hinder his progress. He is in a world of swords and magic but refuses to use a skill that would make everything easier - specifically, the slavery skill. I won't debate this further; those who see my point will understand. 2. ​The MC is way too pretentious. This is especially grating at the start when he talks to the System as if he’s some great being, when in reality, he was just a loser. 3. ​The introduction of technology into a medieval setting is frustrating. It completely ruins the atmosphere and immersion for me. ​I’ll keep reading for now in the hope that things improve, but I’m already at the point where one more annoying moment will make me drop this novel.

The translator seems to have skipped an entire arc. A small explanation: you may have noticed that after the main character copied Kiba's swordsmanship talent, he suddenly became overpowered - a sword expert and unrealistically strong in just a few chapters. I checked the original and discovered that the translator had actually removed an entire arc at the beginning, where the protagonist was in the SAO world and refined his swordsmanship there.
