Warning: Don't read this if criticism offends you easily. I’m not trying to offend, but I will be honest and blunt with my opinion of the story so far. I expected more from the top of the collections rank. The story is dull confusing and feels like a lot of filler for no payoff. Yes, it’s early in the story, but I only enjoyed about 3 of the 48 chapters. The growth of MC’s stats is like watching paint dry because it doesn’t feel like any effort, and it drags on without enough explanation and description. Everything is madness this madness that blank here blank there. It’s supposed to evoke mystery, but it is confusing and feels like unnecessary BS. I couldn’t develop a stake in the character. He’s not developed enough, and what’s there doesn't blend well enough. I kept thinking the teased city building would be better, but at this point, I don’t know. Lastly, there’s some unengaging element in the writing style itself. Sorry, I don’t have time right now to analyze it to clarify specifically what it is. Here is the positive side: The author has a larger plan and a proven track record of commitment with regular releases. There are also signs of high effort. The story needs just needs to get there. Maybe also a better starting point.

Just like all of Awespec's works pure gold this is his take on litrpg. check list: cool abilities, interesting gear, pending apocalypse, high IQ character, interesting twists, unique way to power-up.

This novel stands out as a remarkable example of the genre, offering readers a richly woven tapestry of imaginative world-building, intricate character design, and exceptional writing. From the very first page, it becomes clear that the author has invested great care in crafting a universe that feels both expansive and intimate, filled with unique cultures, landscapes, and lore. The protagonist is a brilliant and highly intelligent character whose actions and decisions are consistently portrayed with depth and realism. The author's ability to depict such a character convincingly is commendable, as it is not an easy feat to write someone who is genuinely smarter than most of those around them. This intelligent portrayal adds a layer of sophistication to the narrative, making it both engaging and thought-provoking. Character development is another highlight of this book. Each character, from the main cast to the supporting roles, is well-rounded and compelling. Their individual arcs are interwoven seamlessly with the plot, resulting in a story that feels organic and dynamic. The relationships and interactions between characters are particularly well-done, adding emotional depth and authenticity to the story. The world-building in this novel is nothing short of spectacular. The author has created a setting that is both fantastical and believable, with detailed descriptions that bring every scene to life. The magic system, political structures, and cultural elements are all carefully thought out, providing a rich backdrop against which the story unfolds. This level of detail enhances the immersion, making the reader feel like a part of this extraordinary world. The writing style is another strength of the book. The prose is eloquent and evocative, striking a perfect balance between descriptive richness and narrative drive. The pacing is well-judged, with a blend of action, suspense, and quieter, character-driven moments. This ensures that the story remains engaging throughout, keeping the reader hooked from beginning to end. In summary, this novel is a triumph of storytelling, combining exceptional world-building, intelligent character design, and beautiful writing. It is a must-read for fans of the genre, offering a reading experience that is both intellectually stimulating and deeply satisfying. The author has truly excelled in creating a book that stands out in the crowded fantasy landscape.

Just the fact that it's awes book makes me give 5 stars to it cause hands down his previous books haven't disappointed and I have high expectations and for sure know he gonna cook in this one as well, keep it up awe!!

Reading this is giving me headaches. It was okay at first. But now the information overload is too much (300+ chp). Your writing is stuck. U spent way too much time in unnecessary story development. I was forced to skip chapters cause it stopped making sense. Your story telling is all over the place. Fix your character levelling. It might make sense in your head but to me it's convoluted. Break your chapters into volumes and arcs. Rewrite this novel. It has potential. Ok byee Good luck.

For first time readers of the author's work, I would rate this a solid 4/5 stars It is one of the better written novels on this platform, and if you like the mana/dimensional apocalypse genre, with systems, loot, etc. you'll probably like this. However, anyone with any familiarity with the author will quickly realize that GA has nothing fresh to offer them. The bones of this story read like a remix of Dimensional Descent. We are once again placed in future Earth, under threat by transcendent forces which seek to transform it in disastrous ways. Again, the people of earth are given a way out through newly awakened powers. Both Sylas and Leonel have mysterious, noble backgrounds connecting them to the incoming mana/dimensional apocalypse. In both stories, all the factions (including government) aware of the peril Earth is in do nothing to prepare the ignorant masses for it. Both protagonists are described as underachieving geniuses, leading lives they find unfulfilling in one way or another, until they get shaken out of their malaise by the apocalypse. From the childhood sweetheart, to the romantically challenged protagonist, I can't help but be shocked on how similar the setups are in GA and DD. The best way to put it is that the sprinkles are different, but the cake is the same. Ultimately, if I had to predict this, against all odds, with the deck repeatedly stacked against him, surrounded by powerful factions that either want him dead or under their thumb, Sylas/Leonel will solo the universe with the help of their childhood sweetheart. If you want to explore the new mystery boxes and power sets the author came up with be my guest. But imho, 280+ ch deep, I'm dropping it. I don't need to wait till chap 4000.

I have read multiple of Awespecs books and they have awesome quality in writing. I would have to say that this one I think will outshine all the others in due time. Commented when there were only 14 chapters.

This is Awespec’s latest work so as you can expect it’s pretty darn good. The World building is solid and the character design and explanations make you feel like there really people who have lived real lives. The story is interesting and the plots is something new to me. I’m very interested in where this will go.

I've read a decent number of system novels, and one thing I never understand about many of them is the tendency to immediately disregard the rules they establish. I'm 200 chapters in, and I'm debating whether to continue because it feels like the MC doesn't truly earn anything. It just stopped making sense how he's constantly able to overpower every challenge thrown at him. The system only seems to exist to justify why he's "the chosen one." Why even create a system if, within the first 100 chapters, it no longer matters what level anyone is? The MC's "Madness" just solves all his problems without any real effort or personal growth. It's like a perfect deus ex machina that allows him to bypass challenges without taking the time to actually master his craft—it feels lazy. I'm willing to give it a shot if it gets better, but seeing comments that, even 500 chapters in, he's still Level 0 makes me skeptical. By that point, his stats are probably strong enough to beat most people without any real struggle, which undermines the power system entirely. Why should I care about any antagonist when I know the MC will just win immediately or rely on his "Madness" for some random 1000% boost to an obscure skill? Ultimately, there's little to no tension because it never feels like the MC's life is actually at risk.
