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.

New Eden: Live to Play, Play to Live

In a world of constant competition, one man aims for the top. In this new genre VRMMORPG, he plans on becoming the strongest at all costs. The classes, the races, the starting zones, everything is a mystery in 'New Eden'. This game is coming out without a shred of details. The only thing that was promoted was the freedom of skill choosing. Our protagonist Alexander, gamer tag Astaroth, has always dreamt of becoming an E-Sports athlete. His parents supported his dream, but they are no longer of this world. He fully intends on making it in this new game, if not for him, then at least to honor their memory. With no idea how he wants to play his character, Alexander chooses the most mysterious starting race. Will this be his road to success or his downfall? The game assistant certainly thought the latter. "Do as you wish, young adventurer. I only wish to add this. Do not come back with complaints when you realize you have made the wrong choice," the elf said, looking at him with clear hatred. "We will see about that," Alexander flatly replied. "I love challenges," he added. "Very well!" the elf harrumphed. "Have the adventure of your lifetime, as short as it will last," he sarcastically added. Ahead of him lies an uncertain path, filled with trials and hardships. But one thing is clear in his eyes. He will become the strongest player in the game, even if he must step over mountains of corpses to do so. Over are his days of working hard for nothing, it's make or break now! I now have a discord where you can talk with other readers and me. There are also channels to discuss new weapons; characters; classes; or monsters that you might want to design and see incorporated in the story. I will always give credit to the person that created said thing, rest assured. The link is https://discord.gg/68kPqbSFrN

I'm a Pastor, what the hell is an Acute Gastroenteritis Outbreak Spell?!

I found myself in a parallel universe, awakening as a male priest. Everything seemed perfect; after all, as a healer, specializing in aiding women should pose no issue, right? However, I couldn't help but wonder about some peculiar spells in my repertoire. Firstly, what in the world is the "Instantaneous Outbreak of Acute Gastroenteritis" spell? And don't even get me started on the "Osteoporosis" spell. What purpose could these serve in my healing endeavors? The confusion only deepened with spells like "Blood Burn," "Gradual Freeze," and "Mental Chaos." Can I still peacefully focus on healing women with such ominous abilities? Comparing my spells to those of other professions, I couldn't help but notice the stark contrast. Mages wield "Doomstorm" and "Ice Age," swordsmen boast "Sword Rain: Homecoming" and "Wind-Cutter Slash," while archers showcase "Arrow Rain: Shooting Stars" and "Storm Arrow." Yet, my ultimate spells are disturbingly named "Cancer Cell Proliferation," "T-Virus Infection," and "Rabies Outbreak." In the midst of it all, a certain character, some crying girl, laments, "Noooo, I just took a bath, who would have thought that I would become infected!" Meanwhile, a villain chillingly asks, "Do any of you know what it feels like to burst apart while spouting blood? No! You don't know!" Even a boss character confesses, "Dear family, who can understand? I just took a nap, and when I woke up, I suddenly found that I have no kidneys!"
