WITHOUT ANY BIAS... IT IS 5.0 for me! Why? It's not every day you get to read in first-person and it's not every day you get an MC like this one! Quite frank yet philosophic and that, makes him a complete savage! Not to mention the name 'Irium' is something that made him seem a byproduct of a higher civilization, which he isn't... At first, I was at a loss seeing how fast-phased it was, but, A BIG BUT, it contributed a peculiar charm in this novel so it should be okay. Author-san Fight on! (Especially with the humorous anime mentions HAHAHAHHAHAA) God bless now! We'll be waiting for the updates!!!!!!!!

Well, people do say that laughter is the best medicine, and this novel contains heavy doses of it, which is certainly not bad for health, is it?! If you're an anime fan, then this already enjoyable book will become much more entertaining, cause it's full of references from all those popular anime that you people love. The protagonist-kun is in a league of his own. His meme making skills and monologues (which is his 'special skill' and mind you, don't underestimate it) are frankly epic. He's complemented by an equally amazing cast of characters, whose interactions are downright amusing. I could never get enough of them. The way I see them, they are like the colors in a rainbow -- vivid, vibrant, different and yet play off each other really, really well and as a result, making this such a colorful book! Honestly, it's the type of story that just keeps on improving with each new chapter and is VERY enjoyable and addictive! Trust me, you can't read even a single chapter with a straight face. The comedy is balanced by some tragic elements as well, and those too make an equally big impact on the reader. If anything, I feel like the tragedy is done even better than the comedy, even if the book inclines more towards the latter category.. It took me a while to actually begin to like Irium, but I do love it now, albeit not as much as author-san's other book, which I simply adore to no end. (Gomen ne author-san, gotta be honest here, haha) But anyway, personal preferences aside, Irium, in itself, is definitely a worthy read! If someone is put off by the slightly off-putting nature of the book during the first dozen chapters or so, I HIGHLY recommend you to continue reading, at least until volume 2, to see the true potential of the story. And after that, I don't think anyone can stop reading it, as everything connects and blends in together so well ever since the reader reaches that point. It just shows how multi-talented our author-san is, to be able to write two completely different stories and making them both so amazing. Great job!

Alright, first things first: this novel is hilarious. The author writes in a farcical style so natural that this reviewer is a hundred and one thousand percent jealous of how smoothly the bullsh*t flows. By that, I mean this story is a mass of disjointed references, memes, and jokes that for some reason qualifies a story. But that's not what gets me. What really gets me is: whoever edits this thing is good. Do you know how long I spent looking for ten sins so I could come down on this baby like fire and heavenly vengeance on Sodom and Gomorrah?! (There are actually spelling errors and such, but not more than once every few chapters - eh, lets call those negligible sins. *points at you seriously* I am not a saint.) The main male character is the unholy love-child of the Merc with a Mouth and Kyon of monologuing protagonist fame. He's thrown into a situation that is Oh! My Goddess in reverse, twisted into a ton of Angel/Demon-slash-Goddess/Devil summoning cliches and...marital counseling. No seriously, there is a whole scene that is basically 'How much do I loath thee? Let me count the ways' with a love guru *coughbwahahahacough* in action. Author, you ripped off nearly everything except the Latin Bible? *nods* I can respect the art that is this...masterpiece. *cough* Still, this is a mass of words written by an otaku that may not be understood by those not initiated to the deep and not-at-all-subtle mysteries of the anime fan community. I'd recommend it if your taste or lack thereof, hah, conforms to the above. (This reviewer is of course, a person of impeccable taste, yes, no joke, no really.) Oh yeah, this was supposed to be the first sentence of this very serious review: The main character is Irium Glice and frankly, his life sucks.

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.
