The best way to describe this novel for me would be, a more bloody, gory and dark version of konosuba. The main character reincarnates in the body of the current guild leader of Invictus, a member of the Medusa race, and with some fragmented memories of his new body. And he has only a system ( with no personality or system store with stupid quests, thank God) to inform him of the names of the people around him, and there status and hostility level. And apparently it can analyse and copy the skills and abilities of other people and creatures...? I love the character design of this novel, the characters in this novel feel more 'alive', the enemies aren't evil for the sake of being evil, they each have there own personalities, with there own motivations, ambitions and dreams. There are however some problems, for example, the lack of explanation of how the power system works, how magic works, the difference between the races in this world, etc... Like, it's fine if everything isn't explained to the last detail. But at least having a more detailed explanation about the race of the main character, the Medusa race, and about is strength, like, sometimes he looks super powerful and other times weak, tho he looks more like an assassin for the most part, maybe that's why. One thing in this novel is the, sometimes, excessive pov change, like, you can pass 5 or more chapters following the other characters going throught aventures and life or death battles, finding love, etc... . And you start wondering if the main character started hibernating or something. Don't get me wrong, the pov changes aren't bad and are very good even. It's just they are to God damn long, and when one ends, another starts. And that can be very frustrating, especially when you what to know the background and abilities of the main character. All in all, it's a great story. :-)

A wonderful tale of a bastard in charge of a guild of cut throat mercenaries, any one of which in polite society would be strung up and beaten with a stick. From comical misha** of a cowardly warrior forcefully conscripted to a plushie loving one eyed berserker woman, from a towering crude titanblood to a happy go lucky eldritch horror associating warlock, from a wonderfully lewd demonic woman to a horse wanted for murder. There's no end to original characters who are funnier, crazier and down right entertaining from their first introductions to their exits stage right. Read this book if you want anti heroes, scheming bastards, an MC who is a male medusa and an author who brings all these inglorious bastards to life with seeming ease and no end of flare!

Now that I have caught up with the story and have been following it religiously since, I got something else to say: This is the only webnovel I deem worthy of support from the entire lot(I hope to find more, but the amount of garbage makes it nigh impossible). Even compared to actuall fantasy books that take years to write(from writers like Joe Abercrombie, Brandon Sanderson, R.A. Salvatore... you get the point) this is almost on the same playing field. However, you cant compare a novella written on a daily basis without much review with the biggest fantasy writers of the 21st century. It would be unfair and stupid, and yet this work is relentlessly grasping at the feet of such giants and the quality reflects that. As I keep reading, the story only keeps getting better, the characters more interesting, and the worldbuilding more believable. Even with all the pop-culture and meta refferences, this work keeps surprising. It easily brings you from ceasless bellowing laughter, to a serious atmosphere and it even throws freshly cut onions at your face(definitely not crying, ots the onion). Can't give the writer enough praise, and while marginally subjective, my opinion allows me to rate this webnovel 11/10. **: This is my second review and I don't care if its illegal to post more than one.

I'll be direct. Love the work, don't understand why it doesn't have more views, want more of these kinds of novels. So many people who are writing "reborn in a new world with a system" have ****ty grammar, nonsensical wish fulfilment storylines and stupid plot developments. I dont understand why they have 10s or 100s of times more views than this. Now, with my rant out of the way, I'll give my grade to boost the novels rating as a straight 5, and give some of my selfish opinionated thoughts. I have only read somewhat after ch70, but in my self entitled opinion, that is enough to judge. Writing quality - Hey, it's real English. Meaning there are no typos or stupid grammar or horribly translated, out of context sentences. And oh my god thank you for no repeating, overused and unimaginative descriptions like "it was like the difference between heaven and earth". Story development - Somewhat irregular, but not in a bad way. The important parts that you want to read are well detailed and narrated. The combat, the encounters, character interactions etc. The tedious things like battle aftermath or uneventful traning are sorted out in a few paragraphs. Character design - Interesting, strong(personality), and loveable characters. Or hateable depends on what floats ur boat. The speech patterns between the character are easily recognisable and consistent. World background - Didn't get much of it so far, but what I did, I liked. Introduced Countries/kingdoms/empires seem interesting and promising, and the world seems to slowly be coming alive. I still don't have any idea about the world's geography, like the amount of continents, world size or climate for that matter(other than it seems to constantly be cold. Maybe its winter idunno). But hey, neither do most Americans about earth(Ha). No offense, just stereotypeing. Overall, quite an enjoyable read and much more deserving than most of the trash on the top charts, and with better writing quality. Save a few. Hey, I said that I'd be direct, not quick.

I very much enjoy reading every single chapter of this novel. If I had to point out why I'm enjoying it that much, I'd reply "D&D". The world building, character design/development and the FEEL just reminds me of an awsome D&D session headed by an awsome DM. If you are looking for a novel with great but oftentimes dark humour, like a violently intelligent MC who, although with prior experience, has a snake's outlook on human society and just overall enjoy stories based on a party rather than an individual, YOU MUST READ THIS.

I literally have no idea whats happening. Does anything get explained soon ? Random sht keeps happening and we dont even know anything. Like is there going to be an explanation soon ? Also with how he is acting, like not knowing anything how tf are his companions not suspicions?

This is one of the best novels I've stumbled upon in a very long time. I highly recommend it!! I love the originality of the story, it is very engaging and the writing is excellent. The characters are unique and I enjoy how they interact with each other. My favorite is Tycon, so I think I'm starting a fan club, although I am not sure he would like that lol. The Author does an amazing job keeping the story interesting and his sense of humor cracks me up. Keep up the good work Author!!!

This is the 69th review, how auspicious. The story is very good and must be written by a very handsome, well-adjusted person. It's about a snake, a most magnificent creature, who disguises himself as a human through magic. Being a human is confusing, of course, and the first parts of the story is about adjusting to his dumb slightly-more-human allies and trying to make them successful. Once he figures more things out, he kills people he doesn't like, and lives his best life. Hopefully, everyone lives happily ever after, from there. It tends to never work out perfectly-- probably because humans are involved.

Great read with a since of dark humor. The novel is based off of some d&d campaigns so if there are any fans of the game I recommend strongly for you to pick it up and give it a read.
