Synopsis

The Demon Emperor had taken one billion lives and conquered the realms of elves, dwarfs, and giants. When the final realm of man fell to his armies, the stage was set for their world’s finale.



A spire of brilliant light pierced the sky, and as the land was torn asunder, the demon emperor met his death. It was not by the hands of a hero, or goddess’ champion, but by a system developer—a creator of the VRMMO Ark World—masquerading as a god!



“It’s ironic that it would be you,” said a voice in the black void of the quantum system. “Strange, that you’ve given me this quest, and stranger that I can’t do it without you.”



By the power of the thirteenth system developer, the “goddess” Amarytha, the demon emperor was reborn in a new video game where his character never came to be. In the Ark World Sandbox, humans rule as gods over nations of NPCs. Through mastery of their administration commands, they hold absolute control. Only the demon emperor, liberated by the Player System, can challenge them.



A crusade begins with one step. Freedom from humanity begins here!

I don't think my review has any real meaning coming from an inexperienced writer such as me, but I'll give my views on the story anyways. So from the first few chapters, there were many, many descriptions. Much so that it cut some fights and actions halfway, leaving me in awkward reads once in a while (though that's what I just observed). There was also shifts in narration perspective, leaving me confused from time to time on whether the narrative of the story is in first-person or in third-person omniscient (I just figured out that every chapter that starts with "memories of..." is in first-person perspective, so yeah). I also wasn't too invested between the characters, you know, having too many introduced in the first few chapters. It left me feeling like "I don't really care if Velsado dies or whatevs..." and more of like "When are the powers and magic stuff gonna come again?" Yes, I think I'm back to being a nine year old. Although many things broke my immersion with the story, I really found the richness of the worldbuilding complete. The concepts of the story is unique, and I honestly don't know where the story will go (Although being predictable once in a while is a good thing). The many characters interacting with the world events, it really felt like a very much solid story where I don't think plotholes will arise (unlike in mine where I'm still fidgeting to fix loose ends). If you reached this part of my review, then thank you for reading. Hope you'll kinda get something out of my review although I'm still new to writing myself. I just limited my review to the writing quality, story progression, characters, and worldbuilding if that's okay. Cheers!

Be aware this review came about a review for review basis. However, the opinions expressed are my own. The eye is the window to the soul. This principle reverberates in the (as far as I am aware) unique aspect to the magic system. I found said magic system to be both consistent and expertly applied. On the writing, I can say with certainty that this work is in the top 1% of web novels I have read. It is simply a delight to read this book, and when paired with the number of chapters a powerful combination is formed. The philosophy behind the book is reminiscent of the contradiction of the Viking culture. Whereby Viking warriors both believed fate to be unchangeable, and yet there are many accounts of warriors acting in a way that indicated they believed in the concept of free will. Emperor NPC perfectly expresses that same duality of thought, in such a lovely way as to be almost poetic. Influence wise, there are some general themes taken from other light novels but have been twisted into something far more unique. The closest comparison I could make to any other work would be the Wheel of Time series, which I personally loved. If that is an inspiration for Emperor NPC then that might explain how I have fallen so deeply in love with this story so quickly. In summary, this is a perfect example of how story elements can be woven together with beautiful prose to create a powerful impact on the reader. I can confidently say that I both enjoyed and learned how to improve my own writing from reading this story.

As an author myself, good job to you, I say. Not a big fan of gamelit/litrpg, but this work is of good quality. The writing quality is excellent, the characters are good, storyline is progressing very well and worldbuilding is on good ground. Keep it up, fellow author.
