Honestly i wanted to love this book, the concept and plot is there, but.... The author introduces the main character just to not have him do anything. Seriously half the novel is just him checking on his crew and talking. The little action there was was like 2000 words from half the book...... you didn't need all the extra background characters, just mace would have been fine and then you might actually have an interesting story, but you don't. Save your time and find another novel folks.

Ok after reading your review, I can honestly say this novel is not for you. The Main character as you put it is Mace as well as his crew, not just him. Thinking this way will probably ruin reading the story as you are supposed to also care about what his crew is doing in the universe. As you mentioned talking to his crew is something that appears, this is what is called introducing characters, specifically for people who may not have played the game, as well as to introduce what I have made different about them, something pretty important when writing a novel just in general. Mace continues to talk to them as obviously I’m also giving them character development, something that seems to have sadly fallen to the way side in novels that are written on this site, maybe because of people like you who have no patience? Now I can understand why this might feel like it’s taking a while as you have said the novel is ‘slow’, unlike Fan Fiction . net that I originally posted the chapters on, I have broken up all the chapters into volumes on Webnovel, creating a multitude of chapters. So if you want to experience how these chapters actually came out go there, maybe that will help. Though I believe I mentioned that this was a slow paced novel below the synopsis anyway, so if that is not your cup of tea, don’t read. After reading your comment about the action in the novel, I actually struggled to believe you had read much of it, but after seeing you commented on chapter 16, I must assume you are just lying or do not like any of the action I have put in to that point. That’s fair enough I’m not the best at writing action, another thing that shows this is not a novel that you will like regardless. Now finally if you wanted to have this story only bring Mace to the future or you like the premise as you have said, I suggest you write it yourself, if you can. Or you can read a different novel with the same premise that goes in a direction that you like. Once again this novel does not seem to be something you’ll like, oh and thanks for reading!.
Clearly its not a book for me and i am giving an opinion be it a minor one. You obviously don't know what patience is, as i read through half the novel before reviewing.
Honestly one of the funniest things I’ve seen today. Ok. No patience, huh? I think you need to re-read the first reply I gave, your “Half the novel before reviewing”, amount to chapter 16 or as I said, the Prologue, chapter 1 and chapter 2 of a story, that only has 5 chapters, yes a very big novel indeed! Honestly the funniest part is that all that you have read literally is about 40k words, where the next chapter or volume as it is posted on webnovel is 42k words in total, just the next chapter. The rest of the novel as you put is amounts to about 60k more words, meaning you haven’t actually read “half” the novel, but that’s just being petty on my part. You know the only reason I spent time actually responding to your review in the first place is because your “opinion” annoyed me by specifically saying, “Save your time and find another novel folks”, that’s just insulting, especially because of the reasons you’ve given. Have a nice day mate!

Thanks for the heads up! I hate stories that have a main character whi ends up being a side character the entire time.
The main character isn't a side character. It's just that this reviewer is upset that the main characters crew have their own thoughts. Stuff like them wanting to visit their home planet after suddenly finding out that everyone they knew is dead. The story is about the main character, his actions and plans. It's just that his crew aren't mindless slaves and he has to take their feelings (mostly for their home world and race) into consideration. Like letting his mechanic visit his people, which was literally the mechanic wanting to do it, the main character letting him, and then the mechanic showing up on a speeder after the main characters current mission ended.

Thanks, you can only trust the bad reviews on this site so I'm glad you were here to keep me from wasting my time reading this.
