An amazing piece of work. Hope it'll be continued. At first, it seems very meh. I almost dropped it! So glad I kept reading since I'm sold after the first game. Like the title says, MC gets double the amount of time every day compared to everyone else. Then he got recruited into this mysterious game that takes place every month. He got no other cheats except for the fact that he got way more time to complete the games than the rest of the players. The setting is very realistic. MC learned different skills through sweat and blood. There's no instant cast scroll here. This way, we get to see him grow as a character. Each game arc feels like a mini story of it's own. It's not just there for MC to complete his tasks. This is what made the novel interesting. I recommend reading until the end of the first game arc to decide if the novel is worth reading to you. For me, it certainly is. Right now, there's no romance. And I like it that way. Normally, I drop the novel once the cringy romance kicks in. But from the author's portrayal of female characters here, I might not mind if the female lead is who I think she is. Still, I'd rather it has no romance. Probably not gonna happen though...

LIKEDo it! I was a bit iffy about it at first, but my policy is to read until something really exciting comes up. I stuck to this, and I really didn't regret it. It's damned good, especially the 3rd arc, the Mannerheim Line one.
Up to you. I haven't mtl ahead and I'm still waiting for more chapters before binge reading. So, I don't know if the rest of the story is still good. But yeah, the pirate arc is long. I don't mind it though.
Update up Chapter 410. So, this novel is actually harem-ish? The MC meets different girls in some of the game worlds. But the great thing is that these girls are very 3-dimensional with their own personality. They're not the cookie cutter Xianxia girls. Another plus is that they're all strong capable female characters. Most of these girls just stay as friends with MC. So far, he only slept with one girl. The only one who's not looking for commitment since he's gonna be leaving the game world after all. Tbh, I'm not too happy about the harem vibe, but the female characters are written really well. So, I'll keep reading for now.
I can't speak for everyone. But for me, I don't like romance/harem cause CN meant for male readers suck at writing self respecting females. There's so much objectification of females going on in Chinese literature. Basically, all females in the world only exist to boost MC's ego and be part of the reader's fan service. I can tolerate it to a certain extent, but eventually I tend to end up getting annoyed and drop these novels. Sure, a cool dude can get some female attention, but when every girl who comes across the guy wants a piece of him, it becomes extremely unrealistic and annoying.
