Really an amazing story. Its what you expect of a reencarnation/videogame novel but it has its unique strong points. For starters, his actions do not change the history of the game(yet, they probably will), but it is the AI he programmed that fills the gaps and makes the world different from ehat he programmed. Characters so far are solid and the world, as far as we've seen, is well thought and built. MC is real funny sometimes, which affs to his charm. Author is not a native english speaker, so he sometimes makes grammar or spelling mistakes, but it is nothing too obvious and I dare say his writing quality and syntax is better than most english speakers. As for updates stability, he is commited and usually updates once a day, but he sometimes takes breaks that are a bit too long. Anyway, overall I would give a 4.5, but since I like this story so much I decided on five. Really a good read. Highly recommended.

So far I am liking what I am seeing. I don't mind that the action hasn't started right off the bat. It has got me hooked I just hope that this will not turn into a harem.

The world development in this story is great. The main character is likeable and not an idiot. Everything is neatly organized into sensible ranks and ratings. The main character is OP and all his servants are OP as well but are using it to the same effect as Ainz in Overlord so thumbs up.

Totally underrated! I wish this novel to get more attention than it currently is. I only stumble of this novel because I was searching for Shadow Hack, then misclicked to Shadow Spellsword which I am glad for.

Even though it is just a short novel for now, I think it looks pretty promising. The setting is nothing new, but the mc so far is very likeable. It is also clear to me that some parts of the games plot are being intentionally concieled, so it makes a bigger impact in the future. That or it is really just a very popular game with a sucky plot. Anyway, to be honest, so far this deserves the five stars. We have to see if you can keep the quality going, and maybe make the chapters a little lenghtier.

Kingdom Building Game: Starting Out With A Million Upgrade Points!

Daily Uploads 4pm (WAT) ----- "World conquest was never part of the plan." Yu Chen was just an ordinary programmer, slaving away at his desk, fixing bugs for a popular kingdom-building game. His life was a cycle of endless work, sleepless nights, and little appreciation. One fateful night, while struggling to fix a game-breaking bug that granted players an absurd amount of upgrade points, his exhausted heart gave out. But death wasn't the end for Yu Chen. He awoke in a world strangly familiar... he had transmigrated into the very game he had been working on, now inhabiting the body of a notorious tyrant emperor, Arkanos Bloodbane, whose empire was on the brink of destruction. Surrounded by enemies, with rebellions simmering within and war on every front, Yu Chen, now Arkanos, quickly realizes the gravity of his situation. But to his shock, he discovers that he still has access to the game's system interface—complete with the million upgrade points from the bug he had tried to fix! With his knowledge of game mechanics, strategic mind, and a wealth of upgrade points, Arkanos sets out to turn the crumbling empire into an unstoppable force. He begins by summoning legendary heroes, deploying advanced technologies never before seen in this world, and revolutionizing his military and infrastructure. As he pushes his empire to greatness, Arkanos must navigate the treacherous politics of the imperial court, fend off treacherous factions, and outmaneuver the rival nations that seek to destroy him. But with each victory, he realizes that this world is not just a game—it's his new reality. The stakes are higher, the dangers more real, and the consequences of failure more dire than ever.
