First of all: Translation and Updates are top, no prob there. Even the World is quite well built up and interesting to get into. I am atm at ch 340 and aint gonna stop reading 'cuz i really like the writing style and simply as a reader its quite good. Most of the following rant is not that relevant for ppl who dont play any games and for those ppl this story would be a 4.5 to 5 star rating i guess. BUT: The Story and Character-Building is one of the worst i've ever read. It's basically BttH-Level already. A MC which reincarnates to get to be the strongest and most famous persong ingame, thus earning billions and getting back at the person who stole his girlfriend and killed him. Until this point thers no problem, but after that, the MC literally doesnt even try to get to be the best und just relies on luck/slightly strongerdrops than the standardplayer. He wastes money on WYE and HYX left and right, doesnt even try to teach them PVP-Elements in the game. Leaves the best equipment on an offshore-shop instead of using it to build his guild. Then goes on and becomes ceo irl to waste even more of his time doing the opposite of his goal ( The story tells us he uses about one workday in the office ... which equals one day ingame) . In other words he cuts the times he uses by one third. Not to even go on about the lackadaisical he manages his guild. He incorporated 1-2 Systems which basically every professional guild uses and didnt even take an interest in the other ones. Scouting talents seems to be too annoying for him as he relies on chance encounters for most of his guild, EVEN THOUGH HE KNOWS WHICH PLAYERS ARE GONNA BE THE MECHANICALLY STRONGEST. Like WTF, MC is basically a retard who doesnt use the OPness of reincarnating . Not to even get to his Support-Occupation, which he choses because of one skill. A skill he should be farming for his real Potion-Crafter YL. In the words of the author: He forsakes battle-relevant support occupations for the alchemyst-herbalist comb. This is literally idiotic in the standpoint of an pvp/dungeonraiding interested type of player. This cuts his levelling speed again and leaves him to get plotarmored into oblivion. All in all a good read and i quite like it, doesnt hold a candle to "Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed the World", which somehow seems just more believable, though. I am gonna read through it and most probably stay on it then as it is well written and the negative aspects dont outnumber the positive ones. I simply needed to let this pent up frust loose :D When i am up to date I'll update my review. Have fun reading ladies and gents.
