Seems to be a beginner author, probably writing his first novel. While I want to encourage him to persevere, the novel in it's current state is riddled with issues. There are many issues, but I'll focus on what seems to me the main one : The main character feels like a awkward puppet who acts very strangely and only thinks what comes to the author's mind. To give a few examples : he wakes up naked, and he only notices it hours later, after someone tells him. Or he's covered in blood, and doesn't get uncomfortable, and once again, only after someone reacts, will he wash himself. Later, his clothing gets reduced to rags over a long period of time, but he only notices when someone points it out. He earns a lot of money after a LOT of work and time, but he spends it all in a frivolous manner in a few hours, on the first thing that catches his mind (and is totally non-essential). Overall, he gives a feeling of being seriously autistic and mentally disturbed, for instance he accidentally causes someone's death and has a hard time to keep himself from bursting out laughing while he covers it up like it's some kind of gag.

But look at the situations he was in, he first arrived and was scared ****less, then got attacked, ran for his life after surviving the attack, starving and bats could be anywhere, would u care about clothes at that point? Covered in blood, but was in that much pain because of his bones being reset into position, pissed off and just wanting to complete the quest and get out of there, would you care about blood on you? He spent all the money on the clothes that will mend itself and clean itself so he doesn't have to keep changing and washing clothes, and the idle system is making his body stronger, if he uses a weapon he doesn't get anything, it's only if he uses his skills does he get something for killing them. And yes while he caused someones death, he panics and did all that to get out of it, the smile is not because of his death but because he got away with it, even if it was only an accident, he knows the punishment for murder. You would smile too.

I think it’s more an issue that you neglected to make him have any severe reaction in his first kills, animal/human, puking, paling etc. it unfortunately makes him seem less human.

Right? When you're uses to wearing clothes all the time, and then suddenly are butt naked, feeling the wind on your privates, you notice. Not to mention, he didn't look down once during all his walking? It's not about not caring about ckihtes. Unless he's blind and his nerves in his skin stopped working, he would have noticed. Also, when he was covered in blood. When blood dries on your skin, it's very noticeable.

Furthmore, most humans feel guilty if they kill someone accidentally. They don't start giggling and smiling because they got away with murder. Only if you're a cold hearted sociopath, do you not feel any guilt. Yet this guy still claims to have a moral code. What moral code?

And his old body was used to wearing cloths, but he just got reincarnated and was in a new body on a new world. Then all that happened so cloths were the last thing on his mind.

Spoiler but I just have to say it. The MC is an idiot for a reason, it explains further ito the novel. His mind stat is his mental prowess, he literally CAN’T think, until he gets it up.

This story has a lot of potential, but unfortunately the subpar writing is really letting it down. Before accusing me of hating this story, allow me to explain. Firstly, the author capitalizes too much. Any word that is not a name nor the first word of a sentence does not have to be capitalized, unless it's a proper noun. – e.g. a Christian church, Canadian whisky, a Shakespearean sonnet. Secondly, there are way too many plot holes in the story with several flaws in logic. I would also recommend that if you were to create a system based on numbers, the least you could do is to make sure your calculations are correct, as there are quite a few obvious mistakes I won't point out. Several terms were also used incorrectly. For example, instead of "artery system", you should have used "circulatory system". I understand that you may not be aware that you have been using incorrect terms but it's essential for good storytelling. I will not elaborate further on this issue, as its something that you have to figure out on your own. I would suggest reading English published books that have been professionally edited; it will be helpful in improving your grammar and vocabulary. I have also noticed that you made several mistakes with the usage of past tense, present tense, singluar and plural verbs. I might be coming off as nitpicky but as the saying goes, "God is in the detail". Bad grammar can cause descriptions to appear strange to readers and interrupt the story flow, as they will have to go back several paragraphs to make sense of what is happening. I hope the author will notice this review and improve on his writing, as the theme of this story has too much potential to be wasted. I wrote this review with the hope that 'original stories' in our community will gain more exposure and the *******ish writing will be in the future, not so *******ish.

Level 1 to Infinity: My Bloodline Is the Ultimate Cheat!

They shattered his life. Now, he’ll break the world. Ethan had it all, until his best friend and the woman he loved betrayed him, leaving him crippled and forgotten. Three years of suffering later, he clawed his way to one final, desperate act… and the universe answered. A hidden quest. A second chance. A return to the moment everything began. Now, Ethan is back, on the eve of Ethereal’s launch, the world’s first fully immersive VR game and the battlefield where legends are forged. Last time, he played fair. This time? He’s armed with years of knowledge: every exploit, every secret quest, every broken mechanic that will let him climb straight to the top. But when he logs in, something is off. The system forces him into an unwanted class—Druid, the game’s biggest joke. The kind of class people pick as a dare and regret immediately. Yet as Ethan digs deeper, the truth shakes him. [Congratulations! You have unlocked the Divine Bloodline: King of Elves!] Ethan stared at the screen, unblinking. “…The hell?” The Druid class was a jack-of-all-trades, master of none—a scattered mess of abilities that mimicked other classes but never truly excelled. Their bear form lacked the raw defense of a proper tank. Their panther form was weaker than a rogue. Their healing fell short of a priest, and their magic couldn’t compare to a mage’s devastating spells. Most players abandoned the class early, realizing they could never compete at the highest level. And yet, Ethan’s stats are off the charts. His talents are absurd. His potential is beyond anything he’s ever seen. The system has given him something no other Druid ever had—a divine bloodline, legendary abilities, and a growth rate that defies logic. If Druids were meant to be weak, then Ethan was the exception that would rewrite history. He’s not just here to reclaim his throne. He’s here to take everything. Factions will rise. Empires will fall. The strongest will thrive, and the weak will perish. And the ones who betrayed him? They won’t live to do it again.

Strongest Mage with the Lust system

[ Warning: Mature content R-18 ] Is death a new begining? For Max, it was. Max, a twenty-year-old virgin, got attacked by a bear in forest and died an untimely death. Fortunately for him... that wasn't the end to his story. In the next instant, he found himself transmigrated into the body of a noble's youngest son in a world full of Magic, wonders and... beautiful women. As if God was making up for his untimely death, he also got a system -The Lust System. "I can become stronger just by having sex?" Join the journey of Max and watch he have the time of his life and become the strongest mage the world had ever seen before. ______________________________ [Things to be noted] 1. From the title, you should've guessed it already but let me tell you the story will be filled with many sexual adventures. So... you are welcome to enjoy them..... 2. However... don't expect MC to have sexual relations with every woman he meets. I'll be focusing on the story, and would 'Try' not to blindly throw sex scenes left and right. 3. Most importantly, this is my first time writing so the the quality of first 50 or so may be a bit lacking (But it would cause you no problem if a few minor errors don't bother you). 4. It is a slow paced story. If you want everything to be explosive and fast, maybe this isn't for you. Important Note: If you enjoy the story then don't forget to vote your GTs, Power stones and also if you can, send some GIFTS too. This poor soul would appreciate it.
