Overall, the first five chapters of this novel demonstrate a promising start to the story with well-developed characters and an immersive world-building. Lei Zhen, the protagonist, is introduced as a level-headed and calm individual, with a distinct lack of lustful behavior towards the mature woman clad in green robes, showing his character's depth and credibility. This is further reinforced by his clear and logical thought process, as seen in his decision to accept the default setting for his character creation rather than risking a time-consuming process of creating a new character from scratch. The world-building of the game, Magnolia, is also well-established, with the incorporation of the VRMMORPG aspect and the existence of different game classes for players to choose from. The concept of Unique Classes, obtainable through hidden missions and story quests, adds an additional layer of mystery and excitement for players. The system within the game is also well-explained, with the use of equipment providing bonus stats and the function of the scanner during character creation. However, the occurrence of the bug that transported Lei Zhen to the high-level Lux Forest raises questions about the reliability and stability of the game. One constructive criticism for the novel would be the lack of description and detail in the setting and environment of Lux Forest. While it is mentioned that the area is filled with greenery, more specific and immersive descriptions of the surroundings would further enhance the reader's experience and understanding of the character's location. Overall, the first five chapters of this novel have successfully drawn me in as a reader and piqued my interest in the story. I am excited to see how the plot progresses and how Lei Zhen's character will develop in the immersive world of Magnolia.

Hello, thank you for such a detailed review and I wholeheartedly agree with your constructive criticism. My lack of description indeed ruined the immersive feel. I would take note of it and try to improve my description in the near future.

Oh no, I'm just a mere mortal myself, trying to navigate this world of writing. How could I even hope to compare to your level of descriptive mastery? It's like trying to reach the stars with a single hop. Please forgive me for my mortal limitations and lack of understanding of your celestial writing abilities. I'll just keep practicing and hoping to one day reach the heights of your talent!

Just finished Chapter 47 and am current on the novel so I figured now would be a good time to submit this review. Idczhen has shown numerous times that he understands a great plot with amazing characters time and time again and Crowd Control is no exception! Please note that there are extremely minor spoilers ahead. Writing Quality: 4/5 - Zhen has improved LEAPS and BOUNDS compared to Luck is a Charm, but there are some minor tense issues that could have made a sentence flow better and be read easier. Besides this, the quality of writing in Crowd Control is definitely far above the average of any story on WN. Stability of Updates: 5/5 - Not taking into account the uh... hiatus, Zhen has always been consistent on his daily uploads. Nothing much to say here. Story Development: 5/5 - The futuristic world of Earth in 2089 in Crowd Control is your pretty standard and typical MMORPG setting; however, that is pretty much where the comparisons end. The story so far is very interesting and compelling. Get in for a long haul, because this story is paced slow, but at the same time, the plot is strong, really drawing the reader in. Character Design: 5/5 - Lei Zhen, our MC, comes from pretty standard background, deceased parents, he's all on his own. His younger sister has been in a coma for a very long time and that is his drive. His role as a Crowd Controller is a unique class and very little is known. I am very interested to see how he will develop. The current supporting cast is extremely well developed. Relationships are already being tested and it is soo juicy and dramatic and I cannot wait! World Background: 5/5 - The game, Magnolia, takes an interesting approach toward the MMO genre. Having been the #1 VRMMORPG for the last 4 years, our MC is the first person to stumble upon the Main Story, completely changing the game as everyone knows it! The established lore is deep and Zhen has done an excellent job at creating unique spins for this wonderful virtual world. Don't take this to mean that he has ignored the futuristic 2089 either! The real world has been explored a decent amount at this current point as well. Overall: 4.8/5 - Crowd Control has everything that you hate to love, love to hate, and all the things you love to love! This is an excellently written novel with one of the best designed MMO game I've ever read about. The cast is diverse and still growing, each bringing great conversation and dynamic reactions on the entire app. This is absolutely a must read novel!

Floating Island - Triple S Talent

Humans of Earth were transported to the Divine Sky Realm, a world brimming with fortune and danger. In this celestial domain, humanity now dwells upon floating islands, ascending as rulers. When else will you get the chance to be a king and vie for supremacy? The system bestowed powers upon chosen individuals, granting limitless luck. Lein, an ordinary office worker, received the SSS-rank talent - Infinity Duplicate. There was nothing in this world that he couldn't duplicate, not even god-tier materials. The path to becoming the strongest lay before him. Yet, Lein knew all too well that it required a process. Even the gods needed a process to create the universe. The Divine Sky Realm offered a fantastical life that Earth's humans had always dreamed of. Soaring through the skies, shattering mountains, rising to the pinnacle in all endeavors. But humans remain humans, wherever they are, driven by their innate nature: greedy and unaware of their limits. Humans believed they were the sole inhabitants of the universe, thinking only they received the system's fortune. But reality proved otherwise. Other races in the universe were granted the same blessings, without distinction. In fact, the human physique was considered low-tier. Races like the Wood Elves, Dwarves, Goblins, Dragons, and countless others possessed bodies that defied the heavens from the outset. Could humans survive in the Divine Sky Realm? We can only hope for the best. The humans found themselves in a realm where dreams and nightmares walked hand in hand, a place where every desire and fear took form. Floating islands became their new kingdoms, a testament to their newfound power and ambition. Lein, an unremarkable man back on Earth, now wielded the power of Infinity Duplicate, a gift that could make him invincible.

The Extra’s Survival: Logging into the Game Master System!

The Apocalypse descended as the world turned into a game. And while everyone panicked, I couldn’t help but wonder if there was something wrong with my eyes. [Logging into the Game Master’s Account!] And my ‘oh-so-average’ destiny, changed into ‘is this a cheat life?’ Kind of destiny. [Would you like to Create a Skill? GM Points will be consumed!] While others struggled to kill a single goblin, I was searching for stronger monsters. While they were happy with getting even a random weak skill, I was customizing what kind of skills I needed. Even my Talents and Gifts can be customised. The only limit was my imagination. Heck, even the hidden quests that people would trigger randomly were present in front of me even before the scenario began.  It wasn’t fair by any means. But isn’t that how life is already? [Would you like to make changes to the quests in the next scenario? GM Points will be consumed!] Is this how an apocalypse is supposed to be? I don’t know. I just tried following the script in front of everyone while trying out my cheat in hindsight. Don't get me wrong with the ‘pig eating tiger’ kind of thing. I just don’t like attention. I would rather stay with two trusted friends than with 10 fake ones. [Would you like to Initiate a Custom quest for the Players? GM Points will be consumed!] And for the players who were bullying the ‘weak’ me. One may even wonder how they ended up losing half of their stats and skills in a randomly triggered impossible type of quest.  Fate can be truly scary, you know?  One must always be careful of it.
