Ok. First of all, I don't want to offend the author with this review. Secondly, I'm going to review the first 20 chapters. With that said I'm implying that the book will surely improve in future chapters, as the author gets experience but judging by the first 20 Ch I have to say I didn't like this. First, the fact that the MC wants at all costs become a pro player is stupid, at least in my opinion. I don't think some people would really want to try a path with no certainties in a situation where he has no money and doesn't know how to survive. Aside from that, the story itself is nothing new. Aside from the fact that the MC chose a difficult race, there is nothing innovative here. The world-building seems pretty standard, again nothing new. The fact that the MC meets the weapon trainer and the mage "trainer" at the beginning already points to where the author wants to go, but it is another clichè, even the I Got the Masters is a whole clichè. As for the plot itself, where does it lead? What is it that makes it different from other books? Then, the writing quality. Ok, there are not many grammatical errors, yet the MC talks in a weird way with the NPCs, in a totally different way from real life and different compared to how he talks IRL. Then, the fights: essentially Here is the enemy, here is the enemy status, here is a couple of skills, enemy felled. It is rather simple. Notice: This is just my personal opinion. I'm by no means trying to offend or saying my words are absolute. This is an opinion. Feel free to disagree and to read.

It saddens me you feel this way, but let me address a few of your issues in this reply. In terms of nothing new, you can hardly step into any concept nowadays without taking inspiration from something already existing. Such is the reality of writing. As for the clichés, I believe there is nothing wrong with a cliché, as long as it is well explored. And by the 20th chapter, you haven't seen the tip of the iceberg yet. If you can find it in you to read a little more, I'm sure you will find there is more to them. Then, you mention the way he talks. I will speak of personal experience here, when I say this. If you walk and talk the same way in a game as you do in real life, I think you misunderstand the point of a game. I role-play a lot on online games, simply because I can. Then in terms of combat, again, you have basically seen nothing in the first 20 chapters. Like the beginning of a new game, combat is only very basic at first. That is totally normal. It gets a lot more complex later. If you still think you can't put yourself through more of New Eden, then I apologize you feel that way, and wish you to find another novel that suits your tastes more.
