Holy ****. Is this bad. The writing (translation quality) is totally fine, stability of updating as well. No qualms there. But boy oh boy is the story boring. Started out kind of interesting, and it felt like the story could develop to a gem, but I was wrong, so wrong. There might be some small spoilers for the first ~100 chapters. Didn't (couldn't) read further. Alright, let's get this over with. Worldbuilding could be worse I guess but that would be a story written by a 3 year old. The dream world has a few interesting points but the author only touches them and moves on. Imo that is one of the worst points about the book; it seems like the author has a story outlined in his head (more or less) but he keeps forgetting to write everything coherently. He touches on some subjects and forgets them completely, or he just talks about stuff he hasn't introduced before but thinks he has, I don't really know. Everything is so incoherent... Now for the MC... My god is he dumb and boring as hell. He is introduced as a not especially genius or strong guy, his main feature according to the author, is being able to keep calm in every situation. But soon it becomes clear that the MC is a powerhungry, emotionless, loner dimwit. Don't get me wrong, I have no problems whatsoever with a dark, powerhungry, ruthless MC. Quite the opposite, I normally like those storys. But while reading this I found myself either being incredibly bored, cause the next moves where obvious, or hitting my head on my wall in frustration, cause the MC changes his mind, doesn't think at all and is unbelievable slow (in the brain department). I think I could rant on for quite awhile but it's not really worth it. This is one of the worst books I have ever read. My compliments to the translator for making it at least bearable. Definitely NOT recommended. Hope I didn't screw up my english, not my first language. Yours truly, Korriberg

Great story so far. I like author's unique style, the characters and the plot. It's not as usual as some other webnovel stories. I am looking forward for the next chapters. Thanks for picking this up!

GrimhavenLv14

Stopped at Chapter 25. Introduced best friend and some side characters but due to the fact that he's actually a 30+ year old transmigrator douche-bag, they get pushed to the side simply because he was too "mature" for them. Don't introduce characters in detail and with significance, especially "best friends" then dump them 10 chapters later because he's too grown for them. Lazy a$$ writing. And makes for a very unlikable MC. Verdict: dropped.

Plot_ArmorLv4

Not sure why people are raving about this story. It's going all over the place: MC is a Reincarnator, then he gets power-up in dreams. The prologue seems to introduce an horror story but it's more like a cultivator story or western fantasy D&D style. The MC is introduced as intelligent but makes dumb after dumb decisions. The power creep between dream and reality is ridiculous and supported by flimsy character development. Plot devices are dropped like bombshells in a very forced manner.

Pretty disappointed that such a great storyline would end with such pathetic and stupid main character and stupid world . Such a waste for it .

Pretty alright book so far, it's just a shame the book has been out for 2 days and already missed a release. Hopefully this isn't a sign of what's to come.

JKaiyaLv4

Although I like the book, there is no way the rating is so high... The book has lots of plot armor and story holes. The writer self contradicts what was written earlier a lot too. Also this is not really a horror genre... To me it feels like a cultivation or action as the horror is pretty bland, it only sets up the premise of the story. Lots of things in the story also seemed forced, and the story flow needs work. The further into the story you get (at 80 chaps right now) the more the story turns into a boring flat storyplay. The characters are some of the most illogical ones I've ever seen in reading, though they aren't strictly 2D like most Isekais, they are definitely stupid and are also used by author to heavily force plot and armor. MC makes lots of illogical decisions too. The MCs best friend also quickly devolves into a flat forgotten character that is obviously going to be used to force the story in the future with all the hints... The story is somewhat frustrating to read because of how dumb the MC is, how the author made the characters in the story... From a story standpoint, this is a mess other than the grammar.

The book started at a very slow pace, but it must be part of the plot so it's okay. World building is there and it has many rooms for growth. Character development has not yet progressed much, but with this type of writing quality, then it will surely improve. The plot itself is very interesting and mysterious. It definitely is a good read and not boring. Commend!

My Wives are Beautiful Demons

Vergil, a 21-year-old young man, leads an apparently simple life in a somewhat troubled world. His family is also simple—although his father is no longer alive, his mother has always been by his side, despite being a bit... aggressive. But that's not so unusual nowadays, right? Everything changes drastically when Vergil, after an unexpected death, awakens as a demon. To his surprise, he discovers that he has accidentally married beautiful Pure-Blood demonesses. Now, he will discover how the world really works from a Demon's perspective. WARNING: Before you get on my nerves, the book is inspired by three works that I like. I made scenes PURPOSEFULLY SIMILAR by imitating dialogues from the originals, IF IT WAS A COPY the site would not approve it. Also, if you are so bothered, simply DO NOT READ IT. ---- Discord: https://discord.gg/2rFfaP9BfB

Primordial Villain with a Slave Harem

Quinlan, a simple office worker finds himself transmigrated to an extremely dangerous fantasy land as a level 1 Commoner with nothing to his name but his wits - and a unique gift that accompanied his teleportation. No one in Thalorind could have predicted that this unassuming arrival would one day rise to the top, redefining the very meaning of the term 'power'... And that he may have achieved said result by joining a criminal organization and clawing his way through its ranks. In the beginning, Quinlan was painfully weak and alone but thanks to his severe trust issues, joining a team was... hard. However, he soon noticed that a lot of people have collars around their necks in this world... People that couldn't exactly betray him. Follow Quinlan's journey as he grows in strength, amasses wealth, fights to the death, and meets lovely ladies. ... Discord: https://discord.gg/bjunEkswQ3\ ... After writing over 750 chapters, here’s what you should know: 1. About the beginning: The early chapters are a bit rough. I'm not saying that it's horrible, in fact, I believe the story to be very enjoyable right from chapter 1. But, at the end of the day, this is my first original novel, and I stumbled in some areas, especially with the MC's attitude. He's too reserved and occasionally too "simpy" with the first female lead. However, the MC grows into a confident, powerful, and composed figure. No long-term cringe. He becomes the kind of MC you want to root for. 2. Quinlan’s morality: He’s not a cruel, sadistic villain. Most of the time, he won't even be acting like a real villain, only when pushed to the limit. Meaning he won't torture puppies or civilians for fun while cackling manically. However, he’s greedy, shameless, and opportunistic. If the lives of his loved ones are at stake and he can only save them by burning a city with innocents inside down, he’ll do it. He's ruthless toward strangers when necessary, but doesn't delight in cruelty. 3. Regarding slaves: Yes, Quinlan becomes a slave master. However, he treats all his women—free or enslaved—with care and respect. 4. More than smut: Every love interest has a real story, a real presence. No girl will be left behind. As of Chapter 750, Quinlan has 7 lovers and a few more "in-development" love interests. This is not a "catch them all" story, adding one girl every 20 chapters. I prefer harems made up of girls with richly developed characters over giant harems full of shallow ladies. Quality over Quantity. 5. Balanced storytelling: My aim was to create a work where romance, action, and slice-of-life blend together naturally. There’s high-stakes action, power progression, romantic developments, comedy, and some chill downtime to let both the characters and the readers breathe. 6. Weak-to-Strong Progression: Quinlan will become OP. But he rises slowly, not overnight. His journey will hopefully feel earned. 7. Not every female character listed in the fandom is a love interest: Some women are important to the plot but are not part of the harem or a planned to be, such as his two mothers. 8. No Yuri. No NTR. That's it, thank you for taking your chance on my novel! I'll make a promise to you, showing how much I believe you'll love the novel if you get over the somewhat bumpy beginning! If you read 750 chapters and hate the story even after investing so much time into it, then you may burn me alive!

Chaos' Heir

A recurring nightmare afflicted Khan's nights since the Second Impact. His dreams replayed the scenes of the crash of the Nak's spaceship, an alien race that the humans had defeated five hundred years ago. Khan's life had turned upside-down after the tragedy. His mother had died during the incident, and the Nak's toxic mana had infected him. His father had managed to save him, but they ended up losing their home and name in the process. The nightmares wouldn't let Khan forget about the Nak, so he decided to join the Global Army and learn to wield mana. He had to put an end to those dreams, even if that meant hunting down that alien race through the stars. ------------------------------------- Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/EoCNovels Instagram: eocnovels Discord link: https://discord.gg/fNsPwXMP7P Cover artist: https://digitalrowye.com/

I Can Copy And Evolve Talents

Across the vast convolution of worlds, divine beings rule as absolute sovereigns—each god assigned dominion over a singular realm. Skirmishes are inevitable, whether for power, amusement, or sheer pettiness. One such battle, between Nexus, the God of Trickery, and an aging, senile deity, resulted in an anomaly… A soul misplaced. Elliot, an ordinary man, was never meant for Ul’Tra-el. But fate, or perhaps a cosmic prank, had other plans. Unlike other worlds, Ul’Tra-el is an aberration—one that developed a voice. A voice that diverged from the natural order. A voice that changed everything. Its foundation cracked, leaking dimensions into one another. Rifts tore open like festering wounds, vomiting forth unspeakable horrors—monsters not meant to exist. But the world did not sit idly by. In response—perhaps an act of self-preservation—the world gifted its inhabitants power. Talents awakened, granting people extraordinary abilities. And for every rift sealed, the Voice of Ul rewarded them generously. Survival was simple: fight, grow stronger, and close the rifts… or die trying. In this ruthless, blood-soaked reality, Northern—a white-haired boy burdened by his past life—was reincarnated. But unlike the chosen heroes, he awakened as a talentless nobody. No power. No strength. No future. And when death loomed over him—when despair clawed at his soul and the cold grip of the failure threatened to take him— A Voice responded: [System Notice] [Your Soul cannot take a form.] [Searching for a Unique Pattern Ability…] [Searching…] [Search Found.] [A Unique System Ability has been detected.] [You Can Copy And Evolve Talents] ... Follow Northern through his journey as he becomes the pinnacle of this world. This a story about a white-haired boy’s rise from rubbles!! Note: This is an overpower genre but MC does not just start off like that. Even though MC can copy talents he doesn't just jump around copying talents because there's a limitation. However, his rise to strength is depicted and is an experience to enjoy. The first few hundreds would be frustrating to follow because MC is weak but that makes the experience all the more interesting when MC finally gets freaking strong and starts wiping the floor with everyones asses.

As a prodigy in the art of pleasing women, Vaan lived a smooth two years since his transmigration as an orphan.

Earth's Greatest Magus

#Top 20 Webnovel Best Sellers 2021, 2022, 2023, and in 2024 #### History is said to be written by the victors. If so, how about Earth's history? Two millennia ago, a young boy named Emery met a tragic fate. In his final moments, he was transmigrated and accepted into the Universe's most prestigious school of magic. “You are among the chosen few from thousands of human worlds. Whether you seize this opportunity or not, is up to you. You are at Magus Academy, the pinnacle of humanity's ingenuity. Magic, science, and might are all within reach for those who dare to pursue them." [Scan complete - Quadruple affinity. Water, Earth, Plant, and Darkness.] "A quadruple acolyte! Only one in tens of thousands of acolytes possess this!" Thus began Emery’s journey together with his 4 friends from the furthest corner of Earth. Each year they returned to Earth to grow, seek revenge, save the princess, conquer the world, and become Earth's Greatest Magus. Their names are still etched in our history books to this day. Authors Note: I have always been fascinated by writing fantasy relating to historical facts. In this story, you will find characters inspired by real-world myth and legend. The universe I created hopefully will make the reader's imagination excited and logically plausible. I hope you enjoy it. ### Here are some key aspects you'll encounter: MC: The protagonist follows the classic weak-to-strong arc. World: Picture a blend of Harry Potter and Star Wars. System: While it's primarily a magic-based story, there's a structured system in place that's easy to follow. Additionally, elements of cultivation. Harem: No, there are several female interests. But I enjoy romance first. So even if there will be more than one love interest it will be deep. Note: English is not my first language, but you'll notice that my writing and English skills gradually improve throughout the chapters. Other: The novel delves into deep research on science and history, enriching the storyline with factual and intriguing details. Give it a read—you might be pleasantly surprised by what unfolds.
