Ai yo! This is a very interesting premise from the author la! We meet the main character at the worst time in his life. And truthfully, he was like, "Ai yaaaaaaaahhhhhh." But then, he suddenly found himself in an interesting situation la! I can't tell you what it is, but highly recommend that you read. Story is very interesting and author writes with compelling language. Great job la!

I’ve deleted my first review. I’ve taken some stars off due to the obvious similarities to RotSSG. As mentioned in my original review the similarities can take you out of the story. That being said having reread 1100ish chapters I’ve come to realize why this story is so superior. At the time of writing the first review I had just started rereading RSSG and that may have coloured my opinion. The author attempts to write more compelling characters in his story and while some characters seem analogous at first glance to characters in the older series, you quickly see that they are much deeper. The similarities are shallow in every aspect. As soon as you leave the shallows and actually dive into the series you realize that you actually have a story. At the moment we’ve not seen any lost plot point, where the older series kept recycling plot points this series has kept things fresh, the similarities don’t make it to the plot. In short if we are to compare both stories, this newer book has better characters, characters that feel real and have goals. It has yet to recycle any plot points, if it ever does. Though the pace might be slightly slower due to developing its characters and plot.

Read it. Nothing else to say. This is written by the only man that I respect and follow. The master of them all. I'm his number one glazer and will remain like that until the end of my life. His novel is peak. You're wrong if you say otherwise.

The setting is good, the storyline has potential, but the MC is pretty boring. The MC is a liar and a thief. He signs a bad contract, deals with the consequences, and regresses. The outcomes isn’t even that poor. It’s just forced retirement. I didn’t get far enough into the story to see if there were other issues with the MC and the guild. However, with the MC personality he was most likely willingly doing anything that would be morally questionable. Examples are One of the first things he does is punch his best friend, lie, and steal. The MC keeps lying the entire time. He “tricks” NPCs with nonsensical things and it appears to be an attempt at being funny, but it falls flat for me. In one paragraph he says not to mess with NPCs and then in the same chapter he’s lying, stealing, and tricking the NPCs.

As a reader of VMMORPGs, I think this started well enough. While it did feel a little slow at first (a lot of exposition in the first several chaps) I guess many of the concepts introduced would be integral in the latter part of the story. An overall interesting read and worth a try for people who like this genre.

I don't know, man... I knew it would be similar to TSSG after reading reviews and your comments, but I'm so damn disappointed. Reading it just makes me soooooo angry! You had everything at your disposal from TSSG - detailed world, excellent game mechanics, decent plot. Even though TSSG has it's own problems, I thought you would change it for the better and make a better version of TSSG.But the way you changed it, oh man, it sucks. Characters, story, world - everything there is to it is messed up. Its's just so frustrating 😞

I only have read free chapters and as for the story is it quite typical from the genre. I can only hope author hasn’t made him too OP or an imbalance in the system common within the genre. I won’t read anymore because I really don’t like the MC personality. I have read other reviews and answers from author to those and I will say that it’s ok that he is in the grey morally or that he’s anti-hero and steal NPCs, but he’s just a piece of shit to be blunt as of now. Who punch their friend even in a dream just to confirm something? Also, he is praising the game with life like NPCs and omnicient system but he’s insulted them every chapter and very narrow minded when something isn’t going the way he wants. Finally, he’s treating the players as "clown" and he’s above them all as if the cause wasn’t his reincarnation but his gaming talent and intelligence. Finally, his supposed schemes are not very elaborate and full of holes. So I would place him in the narcissist jerk with an inferiority complex rather than an antihero character category.
