I gave this 3 stars instead of 1 cuz some authors delete too low reviews I’ve seen this formula many times before, i checked some reviews and read 2.5 chapters before i became sure of it. Man reincarnates, new world is a story world, man has good family, good friends and possible lover, everything goes bad and they all betray him, usually because the cliché, extremely hateable “original story’s main character” came into their lives or they just bad people but og mc still has to be extremely hateable and cliché, man becomes really miserable, betrayed by everyone around him and dies or whatever, this is where variations occur: either they get betrayed too and regret it or he goes back in time, usually he has to write a diary about future events or they hear his thoughts about their future or whatever, but they have to know the future somehow (how else would author have a bunch of guilt-ridden women drooling over his mc who’d give their lives for him out of guilt?) apparently here it made them regress too. Now obviously all of those women are hated by the readers so author has to make a new addition! Maybe it’s a villainess from the novel world? Maybe it’s a patron goddess? Maybe it’s the system? These stories are all made by a newbie author who tries to add ”depth” to their writing by making their character miserable to evoke sympathy from readers who empathize with characters they read, hooking them into wanting to see how it goes. It’s an effective hook, but in my personal opinion, any author who purely relies on this to hook readers are incompetent authors. Wanna know how it almost always ends? Eventually the author doesn’t know how to take it forward without losing the “character depth(lol)”, so they either: - fall into a cycle of trying to keep their mc miserable through misunderstandings or whatever -mc becomes an absolute ball of edginess that you’d cut yourself reading about him -Mc just bangs them all and the story becomes 🌽

LIKE"I don't understand. What is the purpose of this review? No, that's not what I mean. I just think reviews shouldn't be about spoilers or overly detailed talks like this. No story is perfect stories are meant to spark imagination. That's why we tell them. If you describe it in such a flawless and dry way, it loses the magic for the reader and makes them feel disconnected. Stories are meant to open up a world of imagination, not focus on perfection. If you like it, that's great. If you didn't, that's fine too just share which parts you liked, what you didn’t, and what you think could be improved. That way, I can understand what I could work on. But when the feedback feels like just straight-up hate, I don't get it. ahhh don't worry i don't usually act this grumpy i just.....in very bad mood and soory maybe my mood just flowed on u....buy u know right spending too much of ur efforts and getting something like this just makes ur mood dull.... just a normal human being thing cant help it.... Sigh... I’ll admit it, some of what you said is true. I’ve made some mistakes, but maybe that’s because I’m still new to being an author. But don’t worry, I’m learning and I’ll improve over time. It’s honestly amazing how you can pinpoint even the smallest details like that. I really have to say, you’re amazing! I focused too much on depth because I just wanted to make my work better and perfect, but my skills weren’t quite there yet, so I can’t really argue with that. 😆😂💖💖 But I’ll work on improving them don’t worry, I’ve got plenty of time to grow. This was just the beginning of my career. I have so much to learn, and I’ll keep at it. and thanks for such a deep thorough review can't help but be surprised....maybe if u had come in the very beginning i might have learnt some things faster.... but even now i learned some things. they were helpful i won't lie😌 thanks and apologies i just some times left it to my emotions 🤧🥺🫂💖💖💖 all in out thanks 🫂💖💖...and dono worry i don't delete reviews unless its just too much...🤧😂
My guy, i wasn’t spoiling the story, i’m describing the formula i’ve read many times in different forms and included what i saw in the synopsis. This entire thing is a consistent trap for both newbie authors and newbie readers, especially on webnovel. Sorry if i was too harsh, but i came across this story by accident and got reminded of many of those, especially the first two i personally fell for before seeing a third and realizing it’s a repeating formula. You’ll grow out of it as an author sooner or later, i may not have tried writing myself but i’ve seen authors get better after writing these
I'm on chapter 80 and Imao this is my thought as well. He tries to make the MC so "sad, miserable" that there's no real development. I get it, he had a very bad life but for gods sake just MOVE THE STORY?! The monologues itself take away half the story with him saying cringe lines or just being sad
Little bro got baited by the chatgpt response from the author
