There is a serious disconnect between the mc's actions and his backstory. He was a very rich thrill seeker in his first life, yet the character seems to lack business sense and basic planning while also being rattled too easily. It makes the character, even though we don't know him that well, feel like he has regressed. His arc should be more overconfident at the start before becoming more cautious over time as character growth. Instead, he comes off almost timid much of the time. I think that this issue could be salvaged if you made him have nightmares about his death, etc, to give a reason for him being so low-key out the gate.

He can't exactly do the same things that resulted in his death now, can he? You gotta look at things from a different point of view. He is in the body of a 19-year-old. While he is still him, he has a different set of responsibilities now and his body is obviously emotionally attached to his little sister. Any action he takes, he has to consider her... not just himself. If it was just him alone, he'd still do things with reckless abandon. As for the business, he already successfully created one that is doing well, so what exactly is the issue?

Solo Leveling: I Am The Only Supreme With the Cheating System

After being betrayed by the woman he loved, Michael was granted a second chance to rewrite his past mistakes. In a world governed by an AI virtual reality game, every individual is assigned a random number of lifetimes displayed on their wrist, a counter that dictates their existence on planet Earth. When the timer reaches zero, life ends. With no means of replenishing lifetimes outside the game, more than half of humanity immersed themselves in the AI Virtual Reality game. This game is unlike any ordinary game played on phones, PCs, or tablets. It plunges players into a perilous virtual world where they must battle monsters or other players in brutal, life-or-death matches. Death within the game results in actual death—no respawns, no second chances. Only by surviving and being the last one standing can players win additional lifetimes and valuable rewards. Success hinges on a combination of luck and skill. Then, without warning, the gods revealed themselves. Unfortunately, not all of them were benevolent towards humanity. Will Michael join forces with his friends and family to confront the gods and protect humanity? Or will he walk a solitary path, demonstrating to the divine beings precisely why he was called Supreme? Let's find out. ________ Ok let me stop there, this is my third book, if you want, you can give it a try. I will release two to five chapters a day depending on my health.

Brought to you by the same author of "Rise of the Undead Legion" Biako. -If you are reading this anywhere that's not Webnovel.com then please stop doing so. those are websites that have stolen this work and using you the reader to earn money from ads. Please do not encourage theft. You can read this almost freely on webnovel by doing simple stuff like watching ads or reviewing the story. Please don't participate in stolen work. Disclaimer: Be patient with this one there are a few... 1st -This is a story where there will be some hot scenes (later down the line) 2nd- As for the start of the story, it is an Academy setting, but it's not the main premise, it's a full world to explore, with continents and dungeon crawling and battles A LOT of battles,. But this academy is the starting point. So please don't judge it poorly 3d- There will be no filler chapters! Not a single one there will be nothing but pure plot, any flashback in the story will have purpose and have incredibly important information regarding future events. 4th The story is slow, but once it picks up, you'll need to buckle up. 5th, There will be no info dumping or overly lengthy fight scenes. Fight length will depend on the opponents the MC is fighting, I'm not gonna write 10 chapters where the mc is fighting some third rate character or 5 chapters explaining a single spell that's not me. 6th last but not least, I'm not the type to make the MC overpowered or give him random abilities just for the sake of winning a fight, fights are meant to be exciting, thrilling and most of all, feel hard-earned when winning. Our MC will not have any easy gifts that aren't earned. Ludwig Heart, the heir to a vast fortune and a life of luxury, craves only one thing: freedom from his gilded cage. But when a plane crash catapults him into a world of magic and danger, he awakens not as the hero he dreamed of, but as a victim in a twisted ritual. Trapped between the ambitions of dark necromancers and the wrath of vengeful gods, Ludwig must navigate a deadly new reality where his life is no longer his own. Stripped of privilege and resurrected as an undead pawn, Ludwig’s fight for survival will determine whether he reclaims his destiny—or becomes a mere footnote in a world of shadows and deceit.
