I agree with what the other reviewers wrote. It definitely isn't the best novel out there. And understand why there maybe exist people that wouldn't like it. But for me, it is the only novel in a long time that I feel I have actually enjoyed reading. I Have read up to chapter 345 as of this review. And except for a couple of chapters between chapter 168 and 174(don't know exactly the reason just had to take a lite break from the story before returning to it), I would say that every chapter has brought me joy when reading. In the beginning, the misunderstanding felt a little(very little) forced. But now a couple of dozen chapters in, the misunderstanding feels to happen naturally to me. And that is a massive improvement. It would be boring to read a story where the author had to constantly take away the Protagonist's brain cells, to create a misunderstanding. Worldbuilding may not seem so great in the beginning, but as the story has moved along more and more details of an amazingly large world are revealed. Writing Quality I would say is good, there might be a few grammatical errors now and then, but I can easily overlook them. Story development is good, the plot moves along nicely, and at a steady pace. Some chapters now and then might be just fillers without plot, and just containing something ridiculous. But the author makes up for that with 3 chapters every day, many of them filled with plot development. Character design is where this web novel shines I believe. As the author himself said, this Is a book about a character going through constant misunderstandings. And to make those misunderstandings happen without totally cutting away half of the Main and other characters' brain cells. Is amazing to me. The only problem that I stumbled upon when reading the chapters was the author's unique writing style, but when I got used to it, it was that writing style that made me enjoy this book so much. If you are hesitating whether to read this web novel or not, at least read the prologue and you will get an idea about the story, characters, and the author's writing style.

Aight, I've read till the latest chap so here we go 1:Tips for new readers, turn off your common sense and serious mode, this is one wild and crazy ride, do not expect common sense as the Mc and his abilities are beyond that. 2:This work is and I quote, 'a shitpost' and 'the junk food of webnovel'. But it's the good kinda shit and delicious type of junk food. It's meant as one of those works you go to when you had a bad day and badly need a laugh, just like a meme. 3:The English and grammar is good, no problem whatsoever reading it, the pov change is stated as well so you won't break your head analyzing who's who. 4:The Mc does a lot of misunderstanding, and by that a lot, I mean A LOT, that's one of the good parts of this work though, so try not to think to much about it. Like I said, turn off those common sense. 5:The Mc doesn't act the stereotypical Mc type.....so don't expect him killing left and right just cause someone look down on him...no, I'm pretty sure they'll die or get beaten up due to his work, one way or another. 6:The update is stable, it's daily if I'm not mistaken. 7: Also, one of the chaps made me cry....granted, I cry quite easily but still...just shows you that deep down this crazy Mc, is a normal human being...not so normal but this kinda speaks volumes, It kinda feels like deep down a brainless zombie...is a beating heart♥...also pun intended and yeah sounds kinda cringy. Anyways, good work author! Keep up the good work. I'm a fan now....also, lemme be shameless for a bit and promote my work here😂all over the place,you don't mind do you author-sama?

I am now beyond chapter 350 and it is high time to give this story a review. Fair warning - this review is LONG! Let's start with the obvious. The author writes in his own unique style. The writing directly depicts the thoughts of the mc. These often drift from one topic to another and depict the mc's quirkiness in all its glory. I enjoy how the mood of the mc is depicted in the sentence structure itself. For example when he is dejected and down, sentences get very rigid and short while when he is curious and feels welcome it becomes a lot more descriptive. Regarding typos and grammar, the novel has some mistakes every now and then but not to the extent of being bothersome. The beginning of TUG is a rough one. The story got me confused at first and seemed very aimless which in turn didn't keep me very invested into it. Only when the mc declares the existence of the unnamed god, does the story start to pick up. It takes until approximately chapter 100 until the style of writing gets more solid in both expression and humor. The funny thing is that after getting beyond the rough start I became more and more addicted to the strangeness and found myself binging the entire thing in very little time.  Reasons for why I binged so much are that the story develops a particular flow. With events happening from the mc's perspective, which only get you guessing at what catastrophic events he will set in motion and trying to read between the lines for what is truly happening beyond the comprehension of the mc. Then the same events and/or their aftermath are told from a different point of view. This change shows the ridiculous nature of what actually happened. The novel lives from the imperceptive nature and lack of common sense from the mc which leads to innumerable misunderstandings. These point of view (POV) chapters are the cherry on top of the cake of absurd misunderstandings.  As the story continues characters also become a lot more relatable to the extent of truly moving me emotionally. The overly optimistic and naive outlook of the mc is not only basis for misunderstandings but also motivating and heartwarming. He is a guy who wants to peacefully live and enjoy his life which he struggles to maintain. (In the beginning there isn't that much depth to the characters as later on, making especially Luna a character that is hard to understand and like in my opinion). Now for the overarching story and worldbuilding. The overarching story is there although it develops very slowly. The focus is more on the here and now while the gears turn in the background. One gets the feeling that - as is with the smaller story arcs - even the bigger story is slowly building tension and will very likely completely blow in the distant future.  The world itself is solidly built. It has a fixed framework and everything moves within while slowly exploring said framework (except the mc who is very oblivious to it and tramples all over established standards). Yes this review is way too long. But I think reading more than 350 chapters warrants a proper evaluation so here you go. Lastly thanks Zombie for writing and investing so much in bringing TUG into existence every single day.

Check out my other book as well Lunar:Secret Guardians ******************* "Grey, elemental affinity, zero" The Elder announced the result loudly On hearing this, it was like a bolt of lightning struck Grey, he stood there dumbfounded and just stared at the Elder. Shocked voices could be heard from the people and there was some which were also filled with scorn. Grey stood dazed amidst all the noises without any reactions. One word was constantly reverberating in his head, 'How?'. 'Why, why did this happen to me?' Grey asked himself over and over again **************** Unbeknownst to Grey, something greater lies in wait in his body.... *************** Check out the book, leave a review after reading, and also your powerstones. Hope you enjoy this, and Thanks for reading ^_^ P.S: When I started this book I had zero writing experience, so the first chapters aren't that great, although, my writing quality has improved over time. Also, English isn't my first language, so there are some instances where my choice of words are not good enough for what I'm trying to portray. A heads up, the book will be using a medieval setting. My world building is not the best, but it gets better over time, so bear with me on the early chapters! P.S: Cover art not mine I just edited it.
