The only real weak point I can see in this story is the grammar (not that I am an expet). But that can easily be corrected and do not pose any real problem to the comprehension of the story. The world background is unique enough but a bit too vague. It feels like some important informations about it are still hidden, living us "starving" for them. I do not know if this is intentional or not but it add some "addictive" sensation, keeping me hoocked to the world in general. Character wise, I don’t really know how to rate them, because I read so many books, that nothing feel new apart from mentally unstable characters (and I don’t know how to feel about that) but I will give it a plus because the author is working hard to give them feel "human", unlike many novel were you are left wondering how people can still live in a world full of psychos. The story feels a bit slow at some moment, and normal at others. I will give it a plus because it never feel too fast and I personally like that. I don’t know if the feeling of slowness is due to this "starved for information" one or because somtime it feel like there are less pages available to read than normal, but as it don’t really affect how I like this novel, it is only a small negative point. Taht’s it for my review. I am not a professional and it is largely made from my perspective and as such is a little biased. Have a nice day!

I'm sorry for the starved feeling, but I am purposefully doing this so people can draw their own conclusions. I want the story to have deep lore of the world both in real life and in game. I'm doing the best I can character wise, but everyone knows that's the hardest part of a story. Thank you for leaving a well thought out and descriptive review, I'm glad that you have spent time reading this story despite me being a new author with only one other story on my belt.

Overall, a very entertaining story. The Author got a nice way to develop his view of the overused theme VRMMORPG + Reborn MC + OP Knowledge/stats and mixes elements of many different styles. I'll try to summarize without spoilers: PROs: * Elements mixed from Game stories, apocaliptical stories, RPG, etc. * Good background construction and use of background elements - author could make a better descriptions of citys and sites the MC visits, like describing architeture, climate, but, even so, it's not bad the way it is now. * There are many misteries about the world and development of the story, but the author answers a part of this relatively fast. New dramas are constructed in a smooth way, so that we readers keep entertained. CONs: * Writing quality at the beggining is poor, with a lot of grammar errors. It gets better, especialy after 100 chapters. *MC, sometimes, makes stupid decisions, and repeat some nonsenses. In regards of personality, I guess it's ok (there are times i think he looks to be a psyco). But, stuff like having inventory function, and always hunting for food, even knowing that he cant cook. BTW, he could buy any cooking skill in his travels, or some seasoning! * Author has a nasty habit of tricking his readers with comments outside the author's comment area, and using excessively stat and quest views to increase word count and get paid for text that shouldn't be in the story. BTW, this practice makes me not give 5 stars in all the stories I rate with this practice when they go premium.
