Ok, so I will be completely honest. I have only read up to chapter eight, but there were so many things to say that I couldn't resist the urge to write a review.  Pros  It is an interesting take on "I reincarnated as an extra."  Cons  First things first, the content is too packed. The first eight chapters alone could be stretched to sixteen, and the story would probably be better for it. In the first or second chapter, the protagonist steals a cheat and then decides he is going to steal another one tomorrow; then it just cuts to the scene of him stealing the cheat again. This could have been executed much better (in my opinion) if the protagonist said that and there was a line saying, He slept, then he makes preparations and goes to the second cheat.  The second problem is a lack of descriptions except for the protagonist (correct me if I am wrong). All the other characters have only been described with the word beautiful; there's no description of their hair, skin, or eye colour; no mention of their height or bearing; just a complete lack of descriptions.  Thirdly, no fights. Look, I am not some battle maniac who thinks no action = bad, but like when Roi went to the dungeons, you just said he killed 16 monsters in an hour or half an hour? rather than that, it would have been (again, in my opinion) much better if you had instead described him fighting the first monster, then said he proceeded to hunt X more in X time, and on the topic of monsters, you also completely fail to describe the monsters. Even the boss monster is only called "boss monster." You don't necessarily need to describe it like "a gigantic bear coated in red fur with menacing black eyes." You could just say huge bear or monster bear and we would get it, but just saying monster is unacceptable. You don't have to describe things all that vividly. Just say something similar to a prompt like silver wolves. You don't necessarily have to describe the wolf. Just give us something and our imagination will fill in the rest.  Fourth dialogue tag I don't know if you think "_" said Roi or '_' thought Roi was distracting, but it really isn't. It's almost invisible when done like that, and it's certainly a lot better than adding (character name) because (I might be wrong on the reasons) we have been trained to just ignore those dialogue tags, but putting () distracts us (it distracts me at least).So if you did it because you thought putting "said Fade" would be bad, then it was not, but if it wasn't because of anything similar to what I just said, then you can take it with a grain of salt.  Now to conclude this sizeable review. I don't mean to tear you apart and say your work is bad and you should give up. I just thought I saw the writing of a novice, so I wanted to give you some tips and hopefully help you learn or realise at least one thing. That's why, in every criticism, I try to offer tips on how to solve it every time I point out a flaw. I am sorry if I made you feel bad or made you think I was just hating, and I hope the story improves as it goes along.  - Slothzzs Slacking Off

I think that is the part what I liked the most about this novel ... in other such novels they tend to make a simple act so large that it breaks my flow and bores me ... like so many unnecessary information that are i even don't care about ... this story is on to the point and direct ... but thats my taste so others won't like it ... but you should try more ... because its a very great novel ...

exactly, I wrote this novel for those who wanted a fast paced story, it's literally given in description that the story is fast paced I wonder why people don't read that
