Interesting but frustating read. The premise and the has a lot of potential but way the Author made the system has become a dragging problem. The system is too simple in it's rules "take anything you get in a videogame that isn't strictly *alive* and bring it to the real world (you can't use things like mods or cheats/creative/sandbox mode)". Because this system is made without limitations like restriction levels or such, it's so OP that anyone could speedrun from 0 to being a god in a day. The the author knows this is a problem so he did the things that most frustated me while reading this FF: Selectively making the MC beyond stupid, and butchering any decent pace this novel could have gotten. This combined to the blatant self-insert and wish-fulfilling nature of the story makes me sometimes don't know if I'm getting frustated at the MC or at the author. I will stick at least until the Author shows the paranormal world background he's foreshadowed, as it may reignite the interesting spark that this FF started with. Thank you for your time.

So what do u suggest the MC should do? I m curious

I don't think the core problem lays in the MC's doings. For example, up to where I've readen the MC acts on his whims, where he could use his power a bunch of times in a couple of days, then relax/do nothing for weeks. Or use them for pointless ways for the story, then go on liberating North Korea. I'm not arguing if the MC has personal reasons to justify doing this, as whims are very much human; I'm arguing that it disturbs the pace of the story, as if changing the genre from adventure to slice of life too sudenly. And the thing I see as the core problem is the System, because it's so OP that you nerf the MC when searching for solutions for problems that arise (one week of videogame research would make him unbeatable in anything like money, technology, strength, magic, etc.). Maybe having limited the System and given it some limitations for times it can be used, Item strenght or magic power... would have given you, the Author, a more tangible hold for the story pace.

Mc not main problem at all but still annoying. For me mc just ambitiousless vegetable. What his goal? He's chaotic and basically going with flow. Like why he hunt crimes when he can summon million of godly power android and finish this work in a day. Or why he even try to go official route when he can summon dozen orbital cannons, shot to unpopulated region and take rule over world. Only overwhelming power can stop greed and nukes proof it by making most peaceful period in our history. If he don't want to rule himself he always can share his work. He also don't act like human. No one standing before heap of cheats will shuffle weakest one when they can take mightiest if both have same backlash (none for mc). /// As guy above said. Main problem is cheat. He can become god in first day and only plot stop him. It's frustrating. We already have "i have super usb drive" where happens exactly you do but about movies and this novel progress (mc and world) never stops because cheat have limits. I have nothing against op cheats but there is funny op and boring op. You made second one. If you will rewrite it, i can suggest some restriction: extraction needs energy of device (based on weight or size of target) and magical energy of user (based on complexity or degree of world's rule breaking) in the same time + user can't extract charged powersourse.

What are u asking for is coming slowly. Its just a wait of few chapters but i understand if people don't have the patience. Nor do I expect them to wait. I am letting the MC take things slowly because he doesn't want to ruler and just let humanity bloom by itself

No, it doesn't. I'm asking reason to stay so low when he has no restriction to rocketing up. Who care want or not he become ruler or smth when he can get power of gods in first day but doesn't do it. It's not human like behavior. If he want slow life he should want to get power of gods even more and reach goal in one go because nothing can interrupt slow life of god. If he really want to humanity bloom itself he should just make some black markets with super hight tech stuff and teleportation delivery and let humanity do whatever they want based on stuff he sell and he shouldn't sell anything to produce stuff like his. But he jump into medical industry and show his fase but not open his secret berries (how humanity will bloom when he store everything in pocket)? Almost 70 chapters he does nothing without good reason. It's not slowly, it's stay in one point.

I agree if people have choice to have godly power or stay ordinally 99% going for godly power without doubt 1% is beyond stupid even you don't want to use that power at least you can protect yourself and when people have that power the confident will be +1000% that make people become great confident is everything lack of that is trash

I'm not a professional reviewer or anything, just someone who thought to give his two-cents about what he thinks about this novel. I've read up to ch. 78, so this review will be based on that. Writing Quality: 4/5 - There are a few mistakes when using he/her or his/hers, nothing too major but it's enough to make you have to pause and re-read what just happened to 'Get it'. Stability of Updates: 4/5 - I started reading when there were already 78 chapters available, so I have yet to experience any wait time, so it'd be unfair to give a perfect for this. I also noticed that the release dates for most the chapters take place roughly every two days (-ish), so that's okay. Story Development: 4/5 - The pacing is fine as it is, especially once you get to the later chapters. Though there are parts that feel a bit ... draggy? Character Design: 5/5 - I'm really liking the MC (Robin is his name). He knows what he wants to do, he has a conscience that he won't cross easily (good on him), he grows as a person and yet still manages to stay himself. Again, I'm no expert or anything when it comes to reviewing and stuff but I like this. Not to mention all the other side/support characters, they're all fun to read about. Though I will say this, I will drop this to a 2/5 if my boy Gengar (spoilers, MC gets a Gengar) don't show up and get some of that spotlight soon... Jk author, jk ... no I'm not! ... nah, jk, jk ... or am I? World Background: 5/5 - The in-novel world is based upon our current real world (takes place in 2023) so expect a lot of current real world stuff in the novel. I be sincere here, I'm not 100% up to date on everything going on world-wide, but again I'm no expert, so I'm willing to believe ya for the sake of the enjoyment of the novel, hahaha! Yeah I probably could've been okay rating this 4/5, but I actually learned quite a bit about Indian culture through this novel so I figured, "eh, why not a 5?" Overview: Fact is, should you spend your precious time reading this novel or not? I'd say... yeah, give it a shot. I'll admit, it's not the greatest novel out there, but it's still a fun and entertaining novel to read. I guess I'll update this review once it gets to 100+ chapters to show any change in thought.

This story had a great idea. But its life in my library was tragically cut short by poor execution, slow pace, and a lack of a relatable MC. It's hard to sympathize with an MC who has a mental breakdown over a POS taking his own life after he was caught ordering the death of many innocent people and ruining many students lives. Also, way too many chapters of his BS mental dilemma he was having with taking POS unfit to be called human garbage lives. I don't mind there being a chapter like this but this stuff was dragged on for way too long that it made me hate the MC even more. Now, I tend to put myself in the MCs place when I read a story, and a lot of his decisions to me just felt like were made by the author in order to slow the pace of the story down. He worries about Big bad guys coming to get him yet he does nothing to become stronger till later on when he's in danger and he wishes he was. So you know the whole wait till bad stuff happens to realize my mistakes to then decide to become stronger. Just another classic overused way to push a story that has an OP ability or character in a story forward. And those to me are the worst type of stories. The ones where it feels like they weaken the MC's brain compacity in order to think clearly so they can push some BS character development down the line. With the whole cliche "I do need to get stronger or I will die like I almost did today". We as readers are on the internet all the time. We know how the world works. Yet somehow he docent want to get stronger quickly for some reason. Even though he mentions a lot of bad people doing bad things or scenarios of bad people wanting the technology that he may bring to the world. So it becomes frustrating that the author makes the MC realize all of this yet he docent make him seek a way to truly make himself stronger in order to prevent any of those bad things from happening. As I said, he literally waits till he's in danger to realize that, It's so dumb. The only thing he does to help him early on is to get a pokemon to protect him. That he docent want anyone in the world to see. I say this because if he was in danger in the open. Surrounded by many eyes he would most likely hesitate to let his pokemon save his life. So he pretty much becomes useless in those scenarios. Oh, and he also got a charm that would stop some bullets. But it seemed like he forgot about that when people were pointing guns at him. Now, I did like some of the story. Loved the AI, loved the pokemon. Also enjoyed the choice of your first Android. But the second one was awful. She was so annoying and it became even more frustrating to read. She reminded me of those annoying system novels where the system never stops sh*ting on the MC and calling him dumb and weak. I hate those stories so much. So in conclusion like I said, this story had a great idea. But its life in my library was tragically cut short by poor execution, slow pace, and a lack of a relatable MC. You may like it but after 42 chapters I did not.

I usually don't make review.. But this fanfict actually made me pulling my hair so hard. So I'll try to make my review as fair as possible without spoiling the stories.. The Good * The writing actually really good. Languange wise and how Author bring the story to the table. * The premise actually have potential. Dig deep and make it realistic as possible. You can do it Author! * The interaction between character and how Author describe thing felt so natural. Believe me, I write a lot as it is my job. It's hard to write as good as how Author write. The Bad * The premise itself is double-eged sword. It have potential, but can go wrong easily if Author don't know what is the goal. And that actually happened to this story. * The character dan interaction between them itself was really fun to read. But not their decision. Try to read it by yourself. If you don't like, then you won't. If you like, then it gonna be a decent reading material to past time. The Ugly * The story development is.... how to put it nicely... dumb. MC shouldn't be this irrational and clueless on every choices he made with his background. Seriously? I won't nitpick. But, really Author? He is adult for Godsake! Not a 5th grader. If you said he is gonna be realistic, stick with it. (Sorry for my rambling) I know Author write some fanfict in this platform. So maybe if you as reader wanna try this fict, give it a try... If you feel this stories not your cup of tea, try other fict made by Author. Godspeed for Author! Wish you all the best. [img=recommend][img=recommend][img=recommend]
