When I started reading, I was just hoping for something simple, but not too stupid. The first chapters seemed exactly like that, but very quickly the story began to gain momentum. The story is very thoughtful, there is a justification for many things in the story and the most important thing is to "believe" in it. The prescribed characters (not the One Piece level, of course, but worthily), prescribed rules of the world, interesting references to mythology or other works, and even obscenities are written at an excellent level. My respect to the author, as a person who has read a lot, it is difficult to surprise me, but this story is definitely wonderful (400 chapters have been read at the time of writing the review)

This is probably one of the best harem stories I've ever read, unlike the many out there that claim to be "harem". Those harems are really just a facade; a bunch of girls hanging around a dense, naive idiot who relies on plot armor and lucky chances to unintentionally attract girls. In contrast, this novel, the MC actually makes an effort to court girls to add to his harem. SHK is a great novel that has a very original and interesting premise. Instead of having a character that has a very heavy and overly dramatic backstory, our MC is really not too special but because of that he isn't a clueless retard like the typical harem MC protags out there. He is decisive, committed to his choices, and isn't afraid to learn and grow to become better, knowing that he can't presume or assume anything would always work in his favour. Simply put, he actually thinks with his brain, and makes decisions, and works ACTIVELY towards his goals, not relying on some chance encounter or plot armor. With a great cast of characters, the author really created an interesting story and setting. Each character shows much development before we finally also see the consummation of their relationship with the MC. You won't be left unsatisfied reading this novel. Also, no unnecessary relationship drama has occurred so far because our MC is decisive, resolves misunderstandings quickly and actually COMMUNICATES to people instead of letting issues go unnoticed. What is most unique is that the story is told from the perspective of royalty, which is usually looked down upon as corrupt and overbearing in similar stories. We see a different take on how royalty are and the challenges in building a kingdom and how the MC gathers allies, and most importantly his harem members. In fact as of the latest chapter (on patreon, ch 91), each harem member added was a result of a very natural development of their relationship and not sudden or due to lucky chances or stupid plot armor or unintended acts of kindness (which is highly contrasted to his father, who, for plot armor reasons managed to cause a bunch of women to fall in love with his father - who was a dense naive op plot-armored beta protagonist)

Level 1 to Infinity: My Bloodline Is the Ultimate Cheat!

They shattered his life. Now, he’ll break the world. Ethan had it all, until his best friend and the woman he loved betrayed him, leaving him crippled and forgotten. Three years of suffering later, he clawed his way to one final, desperate act… and the universe answered. A hidden quest. A second chance. A return to the moment everything began. Now, Ethan is back, on the eve of Ethereal’s launch, the world’s first fully immersive VR game and the battlefield where legends are forged. Last time, he played fair. This time? He’s armed with years of knowledge: every exploit, every secret quest, every broken mechanic that will let him climb straight to the top. But when he logs in, something is off. The system forces him into an unwanted class—Druid, the game’s biggest joke. The kind of class people pick as a dare and regret immediately. Yet as Ethan digs deeper, the truth shakes him. [Congratulations! You have unlocked the Divine Bloodline: King of Elves!] Ethan stared at the screen, unblinking. “…The hell?” The Druid class was a jack-of-all-trades, master of none—a scattered mess of abilities that mimicked other classes but never truly excelled. Their bear form lacked the raw defense of a proper tank. Their panther form was weaker than a rogue. Their healing fell short of a priest, and their magic couldn’t compare to a mage’s devastating spells. Most players abandoned the class early, realizing they could never compete at the highest level. And yet, Ethan’s stats are off the charts. His talents are absurd. His potential is beyond anything he’s ever seen. The system has given him something no other Druid ever had—a divine bloodline, legendary abilities, and a growth rate that defies logic. If Druids were meant to be weak, then Ethan was the exception that would rewrite history. He’s not just here to reclaim his throne. He’s here to take everything. Factions will rise. Empires will fall. The strongest will thrive, and the weak will perish. And the ones who betrayed him? They won’t live to do it again.
