I've read up to chapter 100 in this story before dropping it. The pacing of the story is slower than a slug. By chapter 100, only about 48 hrs. have transpired within the timeline of the story. This is because the author rambles, a lot, when he is explaining things, and he also goes into long winded inner monologues of the MC, that repeats a lot of the information you've already learned earlier in the story, and he does this frequently. This made the story very boring, as well as annoying for me. The other thing I didn't like about this story, is how the author makes the MC out to be this godly player, when at the beginning of the story the MC is only a Tier 3 Aquamaster at level 35 (8-14 levels below the high ranked players) and equipped with below average gear, which even gets described as "absolute trash". But yet, the MC can: 1 - Cast Multiple different spells at the same time, which apparently don't have a cool down. 2 - Manipulate his spells whenever and however he wants, like splitting a spell apart and changing one half into a different spell. 3 - Has godly custom spells he created himself. While at the same time, the hundreds of thousands of so called elites and professional players are made to look like a bunch of newbs, who: 1 - Can only use one spell/skill at a time, which have cooldowns. 2 - Can't manipulate their skills. 3 - Have no, nor know how to create custom skills. To me, this is absolute BS, not to mention the author doesn't show the MC's stats until like chapter 23, doesn't show MP cost or any other relevant info about most of MC's spells, nor does he even explain how MC acquired his spells or how he made his custom ones. This lack of info becomes quite convenient for the author however, like in the mini boss fight that takes place after MC joins a party. In this fight, the MC cast dozens of spells just before unleashing is ultimate custom spell, all while never replenishing his mp. And if you do some calculation based off of what little info you've been given by this point, it's obvious that the MC wouldn't have enough mp to cast his "12 frost rampart formation" spell even if his mp was full. So, although the author tries to makes the MC look witty and strategic in this scene, he contradicts the logic of the world he's created to make the MC look OP. Because of this, the MC, at least to me, is like the protagonist of some low rate action-shooter film, were the hero's guns never runs out of bullets. Overall, I feel this story is poorly written, and I doubt that the author has ever read or played a game that would fall within the genre of an MMORPG. This story might get better after chapter 100, but I have no interest in finding out. Other might like this story, as for me, I wish I never tried it. I give the 100 chapters I've read so far a rating of 3/10.

Here's the deal, this is my second review of the novel since January 8th and an update on my previous thoughts. Imagine being introduced to an interesting world and concept in a deceptively unique way and getting hyped for the direction in which the novel may take. Now imagine that it doesn't stop introducing you... This novel feels like you're reading a summary to what happens in a much better novel of the same name. /MC or the Protagonist: /goes into dungeon alone, shows off his amazing skills (wowzers) then wins. MC gets into another impossibly difficult encounter with an incredibly powerful foe, MC wins again, except this time he has 5 people to clap for him as he struts about doing so. The novel spends too much time explaining how great the protagonist is and not enough time giving the reader what they really want... in other words, the mash and potatoes known as character development. Most of the enemies are virtually reduced to numbers and hit markers, which would be fine if the entire story didn't revolve around killing them. It's like reading a play by play of a World of warcraft raid. No ******* whether they win or lose as there happens to be a reviving function as it's a video game. Alas I got side tracted let's return to a previous point of mine. Making a character op is not really a huge bother for me. If it's done right. The problem is, the author has him acting and being treated like a haughty playground kindergartner who found out that he's really good at 4 square for the precise reason that no one else can jump. He has characters mentioning his op gaming prowess as his weird smarts or crazy intelligence when all he truly does is use a spell that he created before we even began reading the novel. Thus leaving us to contemplate whether he even made the damn thing because he doesn't show this "skill" again, atleast not til where I stopped. /World:/ why does he play this game, where'd he get it, what are the game rules, how come it's so popular that money in game is equivalent to real money, when is this taking place and who the **** is the sister he is supposed to be motivated to save? You can expect none of these questions to be answered as it seems the author is more keen to throw more giant numbers at the MC and then praise him for defeating them. That's it... really seriously that's all the story amounts to. All his relationships are based off of his incredible gaming prowess and they reek of something stank. I am just so annoyed by this Novel as it grabbed my attention and then became content to sit in it's own filth as it eventually smelled of rot.

Floating Island - Triple S Talent

Humans of Earth were transported to the Divine Sky Realm, a world brimming with fortune and danger. In this celestial domain, humanity now dwells upon floating islands, ascending as rulers. When else will you get the chance to be a king and vie for supremacy? The system bestowed powers upon chosen individuals, granting limitless luck. Lein, an ordinary office worker, received the SSS-rank talent - Infinity Duplicate. There was nothing in this world that he couldn't duplicate, not even god-tier materials. The path to becoming the strongest lay before him. Yet, Lein knew all too well that it required a process. Even the gods needed a process to create the universe. The Divine Sky Realm offered a fantastical life that Earth's humans had always dreamed of. Soaring through the skies, shattering mountains, rising to the pinnacle in all endeavors. But humans remain humans, wherever they are, driven by their innate nature: greedy and unaware of their limits. Humans believed they were the sole inhabitants of the universe, thinking only they received the system's fortune. But reality proved otherwise. Other races in the universe were granted the same blessings, without distinction. In fact, the human physique was considered low-tier. Races like the Wood Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, Dragons, and countless others possessed bodies that defied the heavens from the outset. Could humans survive in the Divine Sky Realm? We can only hope for the best. The humans found themselves in a realm where dreams and nightmares walked hand in hand, a place where every desire and fear took form. Floating islands became their new kingdoms, a testament to their newfound power and ambition. Lein, an unremarkable man back on Earth, now wielded the power of Infinity Duplicate, a gift that could make him invincible.
