The novel is already off to a great start. Novels in this genre typically have bad starts, and are often repetitive, but it is something I find myself repeatedly coming back to. Using the Webnovel rating system (World-building, Character design, Writing quality) everything is top tier so far. The mc is very realistic. I can also find myself sympathizing with him and his situation. The decisions he makes are very reasonable, and at most I agree or understand the logic behind them. The side characters also seem realistic( I also like how involved they are) which is ironic considering the fact that is a vr story. I believe that this is a story that can really supply me with what I look for in this genre.

There are a few things you should know about online. One of the big things is the similarities to the show Mushoku tensei. Most of the stuff that it shares is only surface level things, and it is also only in the beginning of the story. After the first ark, more or less, Online starts to pave it’s own way, becoming it’s own story. The characters were the opposite of what I expected. I assumed they were going to lean more into having npc types of behavior. I was unmistakably wrong about this assumption which is ironic considering the fact that this is a vr story. Even up to the current chapters I’m sharing the thoughts of the main character. Is it actually real or is it just a game? Thoughts like these keep me on the edge of my seat whilst reading Online. The world building is simply phenomenal, which is a trend in Delz’s work. Every thing is described in vivid detail while at the same time not going overboard( this could sometimes halt the reading process)(for me at least). The pacing is slow, but stable and the whole story itself appears to be a slow burn. Last, but not least the action scenes. The fights and anything related to action is very detailed. After reading the action, visualizing it using my imagination is super simple. Another thing I like is how the fighting styles and magic in Online kind of reflect the characters utilizing them. I can definitely say that no part of the novel so far has been boring or lackluster. I’m amazed at how good it’s been so far and I’m ready to see how it progresses in the future

Author review here -- Since I'm obviously biased, I won't waste your time -- let me rundown what you should expect from this story! -It has a slow start, in my opinion. You'll be introduced to the new world ahead of the main character and the people around him. -Once it kicks up, it gets going; action is strong point of this story, and you'll see unique takes on swordplay and magic throughout its length. -There are darker sections and themes within the story that may not be for everybody. Be caution if you're sensitive to such things as gore and violence. Most of all, please enjoy! I didn't want to spoil a drop of text, so if you're sold by the synopsis, go ahead!

Pretty Good story if you ignore MCs intelligence in starting chapters. .

alright, starting off with the important stuff before the story itself: grammar and quality overall: pretty much perfect. i can speak for most of us when I say finding stories with good grammar on here is difficult, so its always greatly welcome to find one that does. for the story, it's definitely still in the early stages, but its got me curious for more

Everything about this that I've read has been wonderful. The whole story reminds me of mushoku tensei a lot, in a good way. The aging doesn't seemed too forced or too dragged out. The chapters are not short what so ever (at least from what I have reached) it will keep you reading for a while.

Well-written and engrossing so far. It'd only be fair for me to redo this review later down the line when there's more content, but for now, I can safely say this is a certified banger.

Re-review because last time my dog died so I was a bit harsh. Basically a love child between Mushoku Tensei and Cultivation Online, except the MC has a completely unique, but still realistic, personality. There’s really nothing to complain about unless you’re biased like me and don’t think wind is cool.
