My review after reading the 100th chapter... Vol-1 starts with action. It follows MC from birth to age 18. It takes place in this world and makes dreams collide with reality. Vol-2 introduces the main storyline. MC is getting stronger both personally and physically. The elements of the fictional world are given in part. I loved Vol-2. Vol-3 is a short but complete summary. I loved how the recap flowed like a television show. This volume made everything come back to life in my mind. And it introduced the elements of the system. Vol-4 gave me a nosebleed as soon as it started ;) MC is a smart, talented, and funny young man. He has weaknesses. And his biggest weakness is greed and ambition. The characters are all passionate and mysterious. And none of them are reliable. I have more than one favorite right now. And the antagonist... This might be my only bad criticism. Either there is more than one antagonist or he hasn't taken the stage yet. Romantic elements, MC not yet in love. But he's been in love with someone all along, maybe. The author seems to leave this part to the reader for now. The narrative language is getting better and better, as is the fiction. My last words: Intrigue, passion, mystery, if you like these three you will love this book. But if you want everything to happen immediately, this book is not for you. And I wish chapters would come 7 days a week. An update is never enough for me :/

LIKESPOILER: Even though there is more than one enemy character in each volume, the second main character is the man in the hat, thus MC's enemy :) In fact, there are enough clues about who the man in the hat is from the beginning of the book. And he is someone closer to Ru than anyone and anything.
