I normally don't drop novels this fast, but I got too pissed off. I don't know about everyone else, but personally I started this novel partially because I saw that the MC was raised as a killer after being kidnapped by a dark organisation. I normally gravitate to these stories because it means the MC is ruthless and broken which makes for interesting reading (not raised to be assassin, but Supreme Magus is a great example of broken character). But then there is a timeskip and they are now teenagers. These two prodigies, who have grown up competing and sharpening each other every day get bullied by their slightly older sister who we have never had any indication is strong. Very annoying, but I accepted it and chalked it up to a staple of the genre, despite how infuriating it is. But then he gets attacked by a girl, randomly and with no provocation. So what happens. Does this MC who was raised as a weapon until the age of 9 fight back? Does the MC, who had to survive by fighting both male and female kids his own age to survive retaliate? No, he fucking doesn't. He takes it. Then she attacks him again. Is he finally provoked, and pushed to reveal a little of his killer instinct? Hell no. He doesn't like hitting women. Then when she attacks him again and pushes him to fight, and he wins, does he show any kind of ruthlessness? No he politely says goodbye, and says she can find him any time. This, in simple terms is a complete betrayal of who he is as a character, and it's a complete betrayal of the readers who have invested in the character. So dropped.

I guessing you dropped this in too early in the chapters. There are at least 3 reasons why the MC became like that. It was revealed in the latter chapters. And since you didn't read it, I can tell that you haven't meet the 'killer MC' yet. I am not saying you re-read it, just screen some of that chapter titles and you will see who was it.

you're right I stopped at 22, but are you telling me he loses his 'I won't hit women' thing and actually stands up for himself?

He fought some girls in-game, and even killed some. All of the other fights of the MC in the real world are with dudes. As for the 'Killer MC', you can see find it at the latter chapters. Hehe...

This novel is truly a breath of fresh air. It combines a real cultivation world and a virtual one interestingly. A hidden gem in my opinion. I hope more people could review and vote for this great novel ;) Keep up the good work author!

It's a really nice story, nice character development. I hope that the gaming part gets a bit more structure, I would suggest the writer to refer The King's Avatar on writing the gaming side of the story. But I am ready to accept all these little short comings hoping that the writing will get better as the story progresses. To sum it up it's a great work and I recommend everyone to read atleast 30 chapters before dropping this book.

Honestly I kept skipping this book when it cam up on my recommendations. I regret tgat I kept skipping it because this is a really good book. At first the writing was a bit touchy in places, but it got better over time. The story plot is really good as well. I still have not found out what the brother's IGN is yet, and I cant wait. There are times where I think there was too much information overload. For example, seeing all that information on his status. Other than that the story flows really well.

This review is done on the app (disclaimer): Overall this story is better than about 89% of the the stuff the professional writers on this site put out. All I can say is give it a try, if you are on this site any cliche this story uses should not bother you that much.

This is a weird split with martial art and video games. The reason it is weird is that this is mainly a martial arts book with the mc telling of his video game experience (I exaggerate, but it is how it feels). This is very unusual because usually novels will make it the other way around. Don't be fooled by the description, this is not a video game focused book with a martial arts background, martial arts is the focus. As for the book out of the game, it is fairly descent. A bit lacking in describing stages of cultivation, but is more or less fine. The is some evil underground threat looming over that is not really expanded on. The thing I find weird is there seem to only be genius cultivators from the young people and no one older has special talents or abilities and are only strong due to time, but the out of game story is not half bad. As for the video game portion, I will start by saying I usually like video game light novels, but this one seems plain sloppy. Very little detain is given about the game mechanics and the insanely high numbers with no context annoys me. It usually is along the line of: the mc just took 738,000 damage at level 30 and he is fine even though at level 1 he had 1000 hp. There is nothing concrete about the game, except the skills which have a description but have a relatively long cool down (say 20 second) but he uses every attack. I don't know about you, but even I can run 10 meters and attack 3 times in 20 seconds (I would not likely hit but I could do it), but he uses this skill to attack an opponent attacks 3 times, killing the opponent and uses the same skill again immediately after. It really makes the mc feel underwhelming when you think, even a lazy unathletic person like me could do that... What is so special about that.

The poor English at the start was a little off putting, but it gets a lot better very quickly and the story more than makes up for it. Great series and I look forwards to reading it to the end.

Card Apprentice Daily Log

Dalton Wyatt, a world-renowned scientist and inventor, is transmigrated into the body of a high school student, also named Dalton Wyatt, who had tragically committed suicide due to unfortunate circumstances and a complicated life. The enchanting world of cards he finds himself in is vastly different from Earth, yet eerily similar in certain aspects. Unlike the peaceful Earth, where humans fought only amongst themselves, this new world is plagued by dungeons and monsters. Here, humanity's survival hinges on battling these mythical and legendary creatures. Ordinary mortals lack the strength to stand against such formidable foes. Thankfully, a select few are blessed with the ability to harness their souls, manifest soul power, and become card apprentices—humanity’s last hope against extinction. Card apprentices are individuals who form contracts with grimoires, mystical artifacts that allow them to wield powerful and versatile cards to fend off monsters and conquer dungeons. A grimoire provides card apprentices with abilities such as card creation and card fusion. Most importantly, it enables them to unlock their full potential in card battles. While this world shares the concept of science with Earth, its focus is not on electronics or industrialization. Instead, cards replace the need for most technologies, fulfilling even the smallest of daily necessities. This world revolves entirely around the grimoire’s abilities, particularly card creation and card fusion. Transmigrated to a place where strength can be bought with money, Dr. Wyatt is forced to earn a living to ensure his survival. Fortunately, with his otherworldly knowledge and expertise, card creation comes naturally to him, setting him apart from other card apprentices. Dr. Wyatt crafts and sells perfect, powerful, and resourceful cards, steadily growing stronger in this monster-ridden world. --- "What did you say? Making good cards is hard? Bah! Card creation is a breeze." "My friend, let me enlighten you—there are no 'trash card ingredients,' only incompetent card creationists."

Global Job Change: Starting With The Hidden Job, Lord Of The Death

# DECISIVE Mutations occurred around the whole world and soon, a demonic apocalypse befell. In order to defend against demonic beings, humans swiftly entered a globalized digital age. Everyone would be able to choose between a fighting or a supporting job through awakening once they reached the age of 18. These people would get stronger by slaying demonic beings. Lu Yan had awakened to the weakest job, a Necromancer. However, he had also received a Job Supporting System and was able to reawaken into a hidden job, Lord of the Death. “Necromancers are so weak that they die in one hit!” “Man, that dude’s luck is just the worst. He did get a fighting job, but it’s the weakest. What can he do? Summon a few skeletons?” “Also, aren’t there only like a handful of Necromancers out there? There aren’t a lot of experience or resources for them to inherit. Their future seems bleak.” “Forget Necromancers! I got the Holy Knight job! Your all-around king is here!” Not long after that, Lu Yan appeared in a full set of Death Nether Armor while wielding the Death Soul Scythe and leading a 100 thousand-strong death army. With a single swing of his scythe, he split the mythical rank demonic beast in half. “Necromancers are weak? What does that have to do with me, the Lord of the Death?”

Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

Good news! The game is up and running! Bad news, while other players play the game, I get played by the game. Bai E had reserved "Galaxy Online" only to find himself turned into cannon fodder artificial human within the game world. High-dimensional demons, endless swarms of insects, the crisis of intelligent machinery... Universal pests running rampant, and Bai E even has to face a fourth catastrophe—players. Confronted with these things, even the soul won't find peace after death. Finding a place to bury oneself first seems like the most prudent way to die. Wait, what's this? 【Lucky Strike: Tenfold critical hit, maxed drop rate, a single strike for 999! Current charge: 100/100 (Note: Equipment depends entirely on drops, free trade for all.)】 Bai E: "Initially, I refused to struggle for survival in this crisis-filled Galaxy World, but then I gave it a try, wow! The drop rate is really high!" (PS: Players who have been cut by the leek can also have a process they are passionate about. Come play a game, protagonists, players, us...) ```
