Good story, but can you make a knight to be a hero? Moreover you give too much descriptions, and it kills the hype. Like, when you describe the difference between the outfit and gear: it could be done in one sentence, but you used five to do it. It's annoying. If you like descriptions so much, just go and write an historical drama ! For game type novels, readers don't want too much descriptions of the basic things, they are easy to guess. We just want some action ! Ok, although I'm not gonna read it anymore, I think that it has a good potential. Just a question though : you said there are different channels. Does it mean, if I get a hidden quest with good rewards, I can just go and do it 50 times ?

Did you realize what just happened here? You said that too much description would kill the hype and readers wouldn't need it but in the same review, you are confused about the implementation of channels meaning that you would like to have a more detailed description of the said mechanic. You cannot have it both ways. Should I have more detailed descriptions or less? This is the problem that I also face when writing the novel, but I would rather have detailed descriptions of mechanics in the beginning, and we can focus on character development and action scenes more prominently later on. To answer your question regardless, absolutely not. You cannot re-do quests that you have already done on different channels, that would be unbalanced. Also, the implementation of hidden quests are also iffy and something I would not consider doing unless under rare circumstances. I understand that people want a story to be action packed and fast paced, and I completely understand that, but there are several other MMO web novels that accomplish the same thing with an 'OP MC' and you can find your enjoyment there. I like to create a more mechanic based and story driven novel, where the Knight doesn't have to be the bona fide 'Hero' per se, but even still, there should still be a lot of character depth to be explored. Also, the reason why I explain the difference between outfit and gear in detail is that they are separate mechanics that will play a different role in the future. Regardless, I will keep your review in mind, since it is the first on this site and although you don't prefer this novel, I hope you can change your mind in the future. Thanks.
