This review is written as of chapter 70. I am liking the story so far, especially the idea of players starting as Gods and how NPCs will play a major role in the future, not just being bullied and pushed around by players. I only hope that the author will preserve and continue writing no matter what. Rooting for you Author!!! Note: I like the author's naming sense!!! Not like mine :(

The author is a native English speaker based on his profile. So, my review of this webnovel is going to be more in line with that expectation and not the typical translation trash that litters this website. Writing Quality- There's a few grammar mistakes but nothing too serious. Story Development- For a while there the MC has some cultivation level dialogue going on and some typical thot in distress. But, the biggest issue this webnovel has is the set up itself. Presently the MC is playing a beta test version of the game and it's been 70+ chapters. Like a normal person would think, once the beta ends all the data is going to be wiped. So that means almost the entirety of the story written until then is going to be a waste unless some BS story development occurs to change common sense. Then we either have to deal with watching the MC rebuild his religion as some Nordic god again or deciding to be something else. Character Design- There's some cultivation type characters which is pretty low brow everything considered. Updating Stability- Consistent or maybe not? As a guy who's written 400+ chapters he spends an inordinate amount of time DCMA-ING bots that copy and paste his chapters onto other websites. Even threatens us the readers and not the bots he'll stop writing if the pirating doesn't stop. World Background- It's fine, but the author wastes too much time having the MC go on adventures and fighting in dungeons. The guy is a god, not some two bit adventurer. He should be out spreading his faith, doing miracles, or god forbid fathering kids in the mortal realm like a typical god. Just seriously, this beta test smorgasbord is do or die for this webnovel. If I was the author, I'd just wrap this up within ten chapters and than choose one of the typical demi-human races like the elves, dwarves, or the beastmen. Humans are overdone, especially since you've already chose them during the beta test, you've done orcs in your other webnovel, and the probably villainous race "primal whatever" just seems a bit lazy since you get to make up everything about a made up race.

tl;dr I love this novel as evidenced by my consistent position in the top 4 fans, but the author has been updating like 1 chapter a month for a few months now. He caught Covid-19 in November, supposedly recovered at the beginning of December, but as on today, January 5th, he's dropped like 2 chapters since. Will change my review when I see some stability in updates, but I can't recommend in good conscious that anyone invest their time and money reading if it's a dead, unfinished novel. ---------- Full Review Antihero has begun writing an absolute masterpiece of an online game novel. The MC's life inside and outside the game world reveal some excellent character depth and design, providing not just times of triumph and mastery, but also times of vulnerability and loss. This is often overlooked as Webnovel authors seem unable to let their precious MCs taste the pain of defeat, but it's these very moments of vulnerability and imperfection where we, the readers, can begin to relate with and build connections to the MC. And he is far from the only one whose struggles we observe and relate to. Antihero has written an impressive cast of characters into his novel, with my only critique being that I would love to know and learn more about the various members of his pantheon. There are still a number of characters that are barely touched on and I'd love to feel more invested in them and their tales, and see how they weave into the larger narrative. The Cons My biggest complaint is an elephant in the room that many fans have respectfully remained silent about, but I've bit my tongue to bleeding and feel like someone has to say it: The update stability has gone to trash. In November, a fresh chapter was posted with an author's note at the bottom. Inside, we were told that the Author was hospitalized with Covid-19 and not to fret: this friend of the author had a cache of comics to upload daily for us! Well, good! I bought full Privilege with the promise that I would get something at least, even if it wasn't the multiple chapters a day we were used to... but no additional comics were posted that month. "Fine," I thought, "I want to support Antihero during his difficult time anyway." In the beginning of December, Antihero returns! Posting a fresh chapter, his author's note details his return and he promises to get up to 2 chapters a day, maybe even 3 a day come December 20th. Excellent! I wish him well and purchase Privilege again, trusting that more will be released. Again, no chapters are posted through all December... Now it's January, and Antihero has posted one chapter. I have not bothered to look for the author's note. I have not bothered to buy Privilege. It's been a few days and no additional chapters have been posted. Is the novel dead? Is Antihero milking us Privilege cows dry? Am I being too rough on the author by entertaining such a thought? I don't know, but I have resolved to cease paying for Privilege until I see the update stability has recovered. And Antihero, if you read this, I really do hope you're alright. Please make your intentions for this novel clear to us, your supporters.

Brought to you by the same author of "Rise of the Undead Legion" Biako. -If you are reading this anywhere that's not Webnovel.com then please stop doing so. those are websites that have stolen this work and using you the reader to earn money from ads. Please do not encourage theft. You can read this almost freely on webnovel by doing simple stuff like watching ads or reviewing the story. Please don't participate in stolen work. Disclaimer: Be patient with this one there are a few... 1st -This is a story where there will be some hot scenes (later down the line) 2nd- As for the start of the story, it is an Academy setting, but it's not the main premise, it's a full world to explore, with continents and dungeon crawling and battles A LOT of battles,. But this academy is the starting point. So please don't judge it poorly 3d- There will be no filler chapters! Not a single one there will be nothing but pure plot, any flashback in the story will have purpose and have incredibly important information regarding future events. 4th The story is slow, but once it picks up, you'll need to buckle up. 5th, There will be no info dumping or overly lengthy fight scenes. Fight length will depend on the opponents the MC is fighting, I'm not gonna write 10 chapters where the mc is fighting some third rate character or 5 chapters explaining a single spell that's not me. 6th last but not least, I'm not the type to make the MC overpowered or give him random abilities just for the sake of winning a fight, fights are meant to be exciting, thrilling and most of all, feel hard-earned when winning. Our MC will not have any easy gifts that aren't earned. Ludwig Heart, the heir to a vast fortune and a life of luxury, craves only one thing: freedom from his gilded cage. But when a plane crash catapults him into a world of magic and danger, he awakens not as the hero he dreamed of, but as a victim in a twisted ritual. Trapped between the ambitions of dark necromancers and the wrath of vengeful gods, Ludwig must navigate a deadly new reality where his life is no longer his own. Stripped of privilege and resurrected as an undead pawn, Ludwig’s fight for survival will determine whether he reclaims his destiny—or becomes a mere footnote in a world of shadows and deceit.

LIVE!’ It became an overnight phenomena worldwide. Dave Ruster grew up without a family to speak of, he had few friends and fewer prospects. He lives in the same small town where he graduated from high school, and works long hours at a low-paying job that barely pays for rent and the food on his table. He can’t afford college, but at least he is not out on the streets. His life is going nowhere, stuck on a treadmill. Until chance, karma, or providence, call it whatever you believe in, intervenes. Suddenly, David’s circumstances change. Injured and unable to work, he’s about to lose what little he has. His fate balances where crisis and opportunity go hand in hand. He can risk it all, seizing the opportunity to make circumstances work for him, potentially going further and higher than he ever dreamed. Or he can accept his fate and watch life from the sidelines Join Dave as he puts all his aspirations and hopes, all that he is, into the game he always wanted to play, Conquest! It will be a journey of adventure and discovery, victory and loss, as he strives to create a new future for himself, in-the-game and In Real Life. **** Story is currently being proofed by our Lord Sambraga!
