Time to give myself an honest review after 100 chapters... Honest Review Thank you for starting to edit your first volume, "Foogle it" was honestly stupid as well as intentionally misspelling other pop culture references. The Good: Writing quality has improved dramatically as time has gone on, now usually I just see a word that is missed every now and then. The characters all feel believable and have been given enough life that many of them stand on their own. Gray may be the MC, but it feels like an ensemble cast instead of a sole MC. The Bad: Your story development is a bit slow, not always a bad thing, but we need a little bit more action. Your world building was good at first, but you've kinda fallen way off on this as time went on and we haven't really seen much of the world or even heard about it in awhile! The Neutral: Part of me wants a harem, part of me is glad you didn't go with one... Overall, it's better that you didn't as you've tried to focus more on realism. Needs more mechs also!

lol, I was intentionally misspelling them because I was afraid of getting a cease and desist order or something for using copyrighted material.

Author, please remove my first review. After getting to this point I can honestly say you've improved significantly! I love the new characters, the world setting, the monty python references, even the songs surprised me! Great job and keep up the good work! I saw the twist coming at the end of the first volume but I can't see the twist you have planned, if any, for the second one, although you have hinted at something.

This is my first novel on here so don't be gentle if you dislike it, but do be kind enough to inform me of why you dislike it. Also, yes, this is a shameless self review...

Great read so far! I have being enjoying it, and it is in my library right now. I love the references you make, but tone it down a bit, huh? It does take away from the experience since it does pop up a LOT. There are grammar issues, though like I say we are not professionals with editors on hand and making a living out of it.

It is about a mech game with more simulation than I've ever seen that is also the first and only full dive VR game. It seems I grow and change as a person, which is probably a good thing because I do realize I'm a bit immature for my age.

Everything is perfect. But I have to say, the story is a bit to slow and the author has to not go overboard with the filler. And I hope it does not go premium or else I need a pile of SS.

Hmmm... While I do admit that I am quite biased to this story, I find it enjoyable to read about me since I'm like the hidden boss and real star of this novel!

One word: interesting. The nerdy guy who goes to the ‘nerdy store’ reminds me of Sheldon Cooper (just he goes to the comic store where owner/clerk is... strange). Lots of references and funny moments. It’s an easy read. I like that it does not start with a massive info-dump about the world, but the bits are embedded in the story and explained as necessary. The pacing is just right. There are some minor grammar issues, but they are not distracting or demanding that I read the paragraph few times in order to understand the story. Keep up the good work, author. 👍

So, I am glad to see Gray is as easy going as I am. Gaming should be fun and easy going! Still, this story seems to involve much... much more than just gaming. It's almost like it's a novel not about gaming.

OLD-WORLD EXTRA

{Check out my new novel, Misunderstood Villain: Heroines Mourn My Death} 'Born In Ruins' was a forgettable read. That was the only way Emir could describe the pages of the novel he had found himself reincarnated into. The young man barely knew anything, but the snippets he had recalled only caused him unending sorrow... As what awaited him was only tragedy and an early death. It was a depressing story, one that he had planned to flip on its head—all for his salvation. — In this post-apocalyptic world, monsters fought humans and cyborgs in a battle for survival on a scale greater than ever before. A world where innocence and death were a luxury, where the line between heroes and villains was razor-thin. Within its expanse, 'Ancient Clans,' 'Galactic Federations,' 'Factions', and 'Corporations' presided over colossal 'Ruins' that dwarfed the concept of life itself. Survivors of the 'Third World War' continuously dove into the 'Old World,' 'Hunting' for 'Relics' in any ruin that they could find on Earth, desperate to reclaim 'Lost' technology, to stand a fighting chance against the inevitable. But it appeared that 'Earthkind' had met their match. …However, Emir would never allow that fate to take its course. — Emir unraveled layers of the tale and realized the truth of the world. He acquainted himself with the rules of this game before it fully consumed him. And now... no longer content with mere survival, he sought to dominate over the very fabric of this unforgiving universe. Emir shall rise from the pawn he once was, seeking to unravel the mysteries that hounded him. The boundaries of 'Aether,' his father’s disappearance, the noose hanging above his family’s head, and of course… his starless destiny, a fate he longed to control. This pursuit would earn him the epithet: "Prince Of The Fallen." ---------------------------------------------- *Tags: Reincarnation ;), Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Magical Realism, Academy (Volume 3), Romance, Apocalypse, {Anti-Hero. Villain.} *Expect this novel to start slowly; it begins ramping up at the halfway point of volume 1. *The Magic System is introduced at the end of volume 1, read my review and Auxiliary chapter for more on that. *Warning: The main characters have emotions like proper humans. So don't expect your usual emo kid as the MC and come complaining later.

Zombie Apocalypse: Creation

Chen Xiaoyun, an orphan from Guangzhou, China, once met a girl who looked remarkably like him. Before he could learn more about her, a deadly virus was unleashed around the globe. Humans turned into creatures straight out of video games and movies, and zombies and mutants roamed the streets with no one to stop them. From tanks to jockeys to even invisible zombies and mutated dogs. The mutations are just endless. "Why is there a zombie apocalypse just as I find my family? And why can I suddenly create things from thin air?" Will Xiaoyun survive the chaos with the new people he meets along the way? Will he use his newfound abilities to bring peace to a devastated world? Or perhaps he will just take another nap in the bed like a lazy pig—— "Shut up. How am I supposed to do anything when you keep throwing women at me?" ____________ Author's note: The main character grows as the story develops. Although he's very naive from the beginning, he matures a lot as the story progresses. There is no NTR or Yuri unless you consider the main character's woman sharing his 'stuff' in a threesome as Yuri, in which case I have nothing for you. Some of the love interests are related to the main character. Discord server if you want to talk or have questions: https://discord.gg/hnXMFwfVR3
