I just wanted to ask: Pancakes-sama have you ever heard of a comic called The Gamer? Because the beginning is awfully similar. Sorry if I am wrong.

LIKEIt's not just the beginning. In fact after reading up to chapter 50 I can say that most of his time on Earth is "inspired" by "The Gamer". He learns skills from the books directly, joins a group with a male friend. Goes on dungeon raids with such a friend and reveals most of his secrets to him. His presence in dungeons makes them generate items and of course, he also learns to make his own dungeons to grind individually. Just a few chapters later he is already making use of the "party" function.
the one about a demon queen reincarnated as a cursed armor is very similar to the 'death mage who don't want a fourth time's or something like that, I don't remember the name now kkkk, and I was reading some paragraphs comments, in one of those I found that the author said 'fanfics are a cryngefeast'... .--. lol
There are obviously common themes and even some blatant copying between some novels. It's very difficult to really come up with an entirely original series without being compared to predecessors. HOWEVER, if I start making a series about a blonde ninja leaving in the hidden tree village and with a 9 tailed dog sealed inside him and a best friend/rival that has special red eye powers. Are you still going to say, "well...there are many other ninja anime you know..." I can't say whether this novel is good or bad. That's an individual opinion, but the "influence" of The Gamer is not.
Loki_Reading:uhhhh raptor. Just because a few things are similar to a different novel doesn't mean that's its inspired by that said novel. I have seen multiple novels that sound like "The Gamer" but were made quite before
I read The Gamer up until a certain point. I won't spoil it, but eventually in The Gamer, the MC gets a skill that's so stupidly broken and overpowered that I quit. It's because in a story with a level system and game elements, a big part of the appeal is growing stronger and stronger. But as soon as I saw that skill, I thought that there's nowhere to go from here. But I tried reading a little after to see if I was wrong but I was right. It gets boring after that.
