The Otaku Zhen Shi died and reincarnated in another world. Cliche much? Yup!
Then he got a system! Cliche again? Yup!
But, this system steals stuff from Gods and kindly gifts them to the less fortunate... namely to himself! Huh... That's sort of new...
He also has a magical library in his mind! Wait... isn't that strangely familiar? Flaws!
Also, his best bro is the Legendary Great Merlin with a plus one! Now is that cliche...?
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Zhen Shi was a nerd and an otaku that had traveled all over the world with his absent parents until... he was pushed off a cliff?
But fortunately, he reincarnated in another world with a system!
This new world seems to have unexplained connections to the Gods and Deities of almost every mythology back on Earth, and their influences are seen everywhere, from every kingdom to every clan...
Thankfully, Zhen Shi isn't an ordinary person. He is a bookworm easily entranced by the workings of the world and very familiar with world history and mythology. So he has an advantage over everyone with his knowledge!
Moving on, did I mention he's a shameless bastard at the forefront of ridiculous situations? With even more shameless Merlin and Co. to keep him company?
With his beloved but mischievous system *cough* scapegoat *cough*, Zhen Shi embarks on a journey facing happiness and sorrow alike as he attempts to reach the heavens!

AUTHOR NOTE
This is my first novel. But I intend to finish it!
Release rate: 3~5 chapters/week
The story will bring in some references from popular Chinese novels, games, and anime. But it will mainly include real-world mythology.
Also the cover is original.

The shameless author here blah blah blah~ XD Let's get right into what you can expect from this novel. GODSystem is a LitRPG/Serious/Comedy novel with more than light hints of Cultivation. The next thing is that at least half of all the story arcs, characters, magic, and skills are inspired by real-world history and mythology. Hence the 'GODS' acronym. Then I also TRY to put in references to other novels, and other popular media. See if you can spot'em. XD A VERY basic idea of what is to be expected from this novel can be obtained from the 'non-memory' parts of Volume 1. All memories will end after Volume 1. Feel free to ask anything else.
Alright so here are my thoughts. First things first I can relate to this character on a different level because I'm definitely a mythology buff. I'm not too keen on arrogant MC's so when he is knocked down a peg is when it became an addictive read for me. I absolutely love the way ancient religions all tie into this world and the way old stories are tied up in new ways. It's also refreshing that it's not your basic sword wielding hero. If people read this review I want you to understand that what you think it's cliche isn't. The people this guy meets are literally where all the "cliche" stories started but they are brought into a new light and told in a unique way. Overall this story and it's characters have captivated me and anyone who talks badly about it is probably going to get a reply from me lol. I write myself and what the author does here is extremely difficult. Just coming up with anything in a story that isn't cliche is already hard enough but to take a tale from mythology and make it new is even harder. I say you keep up the good work and I'll keep reading until I can't afford it haha.
Great story to pass the time! Definitely recommended for those who love shameless and genuinely funny protagonists and scenes. The writing is amazing and coherent! The author is great with subtle references to other novels which was enough to make me smirk as I read.
When I started to read it I wanted to give up after just a short while. After reading for a little bit longer I just kept thinking of dropping it and never coming back, but that was still during the very first chapter. After the second and third it got better and eventually got me totally interested in the story. I'd recommend to anybody who's interested in a good read. Just that it still needs some more here and there on the way it's written and it should be really good in the future.
Overall decent story. The description of the story is a quote from the movie. He actually uses emoticons in the story. Some of them to impressive effect, I won't lie. I don't like that as a whole, but it's done well, so I can't deduct anything for it. There's grammatical improvements to be made here and there, but the story is easy enough to understand, and it's not hard to read. The author has also demonstrated a willingness to improve. I thought the story was a system designer type, but I was wrong. He doesn't create the system. It's unique in its own way, and the author seems to like to take their own version on any tropes. So as a whole, it's a unique story, and definitely worth giving a chance.
Ok.So i am not good at reviews,but I can tell you what i liked. As a fan of litrpgs and xianxia,i can say it bugs me a lot when main characters are introduced into killings in first seconds without any explanations,while here,Author introduces Mc into his new world through memories of the former body. In most CN xianxia,mc is like a machine,character interaction its like,on the brink of extinctions.Here,through the 16 chapters worth of memories,we see familial bond,we see happiness,we see comedy,we see sacrifice,we see true love,we cry and laugh with mc,at least I did.The system is quite a funny one,don't know if it is the best,but I liked it. Bad stuff: Well,LACK OF CHAPTERS,seriously,this novel suffers from LACK OF CHAPTERS syndrome.As an avid fan of litrpgs and xianxia,i looooooooooooved it.The Myne(which is absolutely not Merlyn) is sooo funny,even if their friendship is a bit rushed,mc can disply the bond of friendship well.I can't wait to see mc grabbing a bit of love,he lacks some.I can't wait to see mc family again,their tears,their laughter,It was as If i was with mc,doing what he does,seeing what he sees,crying with him,being happy with him.Please try it.
I love this story it is well built and characters have a familiar feeling but not cliché. Thumbs up to the author for the writing quality too. I definitely recommend this book. Keep it up I definitely support your work. Hope it hits
Seems pretty interesting but there is just way too much backstory spread throughout the first volume. Could have formatted it differently by putting the entire flashback in one place and then continuing the plot after. Other than that, a great novel.
Good story so far ...
Hey peeps! The definitely not shameless author here. I definitely did not post this review just to get the 10th review! I am here.... cuz... I'm considering slowing down chapter updates. Like 4 each week? I had to rewrite some of the earlier chapters, and I feel like it could have been avoided.
The most handsomest and knowledgable mc, with an overpowered unique skill to blind the heavens themselves. Very 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍Very nice
hahaha has good reception with only 3 chapters well I will put it 5 stars haha I hope it is good story I will read it, I will get carried away by the comments
It is a story where an MC tries to have arrogant points, like many levels, is based on several novels but grammar is a headache, writing does not let the story enjoy. I hope the grammar and battle times improve to make it a readable novel.
it's interesting it looks like Acting Anime Cool System it hurts that they deleted it I hope you don't erase it, and it doesn't pause is cool
