The usual, 3* for World Building and Update Stability since it's new. To sum it up, it's Supernatural + Gantz = this novel; certain people becomes players in a Supernatural type setting. The concept is very intriguing if you're into the horror type genre that dabbles into mmorpg game mechanics. The MC, in my opinion, is someone you either love or hate. I'll give you 4 examples of what kind of character he is; Dr. House, Everett Backstrom, and Sherlock from both versions which are BBC's Sherlock and Elementary. A very intelligent a*shole. In the beginning I was put off because of the MC's character. If you can grind and get past that and somehow reach the end (which is currently chapter 60), then the story seriously opens up. Granted his attitude still ticks me off, but the story is good enough to maybe carry the entire novel, maybe. The story is about an event that happens on Earth which allows certain people to become players in a game that involves ghosts, mysticism, the undead and other supernatural phenomenon. So far, the goal is to find, accept and complete missions that deals with the unknown, level up and repeat the process.No spoilers so the only thing I can say is that there is a twist. Verdict: 50/50 depending on your mood and preference.

My God..this story is amazing. I know my review is long but please read it as I give a basic summary of every subject. I truly believe that this is the best of the current trial reads. My review also contains spoilers, rather than checking the mark for spoilers, I left it open because I know a lot of people will completely ignore a real review if they believe it has to many spoilers. The spoilers included only mention the changes in World Background compared to our Real Earth. I mentioned these spoilers because I believe they are one of the main selling points of this novel and will likely be a reason people choose to read or not. I’ve literally never given a review for a trial read because the good ones are either the last to come out or never come out at all. Translation Quality: Translation quality is perfect as far as I can tell. I’m not exactly an English major but I’ve read plenty of books and the grammar seems fine as well. Stability Updating: Obviously I can’t rate stability updating because it’s a trial read with a limit of 60 chapters until it’s voted through. Story Development: The background plot has already been partially explained as far as Chapter 13. The World’s advancements have all been set forth by a mysterious system. I’ll further explain this in world background. Everything seems fine so far and there hasn’t been any plot holes and everything has been explained in ways that actually make sense. Historic moments are explained in a paranormal sense that keeps you interested. The system is not introduced until certain things occur and there are restrictions on who receives the system and why it exist. Character Development: The MC is an eccentric genius and the author has developed him literally perfectly. The MC goes beyond your usual “smart MC”, though he acts quite weird at times, it’s explained that because he is so weird, he has learned many things with his higher than normal intelligence. If you read the first chapter you’ll completely understand what I mean, his actions and words in the first chapter alone; do well to show off his characteristics and personality. Other than the MC, not many people have been mentioned as far as Chapter 13 but those that were; were shown quite well. By that I mean they all had clear stories and they don’t give you the usual feel of a random side character that’ll be thrown away later. World Background: The story seems to be set in current time Earth. Everything has some odd twist set forth by the system I mentioned in Story Development. It’s explained that all evolutionary advancements have been set forth by the system as of now. The system sets forth “games” called “Killing Fields”. In this games, the system chooses either a large scale or small scale field depending on the current advancements of the world. It chooses its initial players for specific reasons that haven’t been completely stated but seem reasonable. Human evolution is an aspect created by the system. Many races have gone extinct due to punishment from the system when it finds the game to not be helping the race advance. Dinosaurs are one of the races punished by the system. Humans while not extinct, have also been punished by the system. All of this explained as real moments in history with a paranormal twist. Again, please vote for this story when it comes time, I truly believe it’s the best of the current trial reads.
