Synopsis

Bob the barn owner from Bagel village. An Essential tutorial NPC, typical of any game. One fine morning, Bob gains sentience and begins to question his immortal humanity.



Immersion Online. A Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Open World Role-Playing Game (VRMMORPG) that took the continent of Asia by storm.



In that game, nobody expected a certain tutorial NPC would dominate the meta.



Follow the adventures of Bob on his journey to discover just what he really is and laugh along with his shenanigans.



Just a heads-up, this is a gag novel so if you laugh you lose.

Holy shít, this novel is great! Of course, nothing is perfect (and that's why I'm giving it just over 4 stars) but this book is damn close. I suppose I'll write a fully-fledged review, so here we go! : Writing quality- I haven't really noticed anything wrong with it. If there's typos, or grammatical errors, I certainly haven't seen them but if I'm honest, I'm not a very observant person. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The story also flows nicely, and it's written quite well. Not to mention the humour in this novel is right up my alley, as in my opinion the only thing funnier than dark humor is straightforward, trying-to-be-serious-and-not-at-the-same-time humour. I dunno how it works, but it does, and I think I've laughed at almost every single chapter. I've also cried, and have been left speechless on many occasions. It's been a héll of a ride so far, that's for sure! Story development- Now, this is an area that I did have one or two minor problems with. We were warned that there was no particular plan for this novel, but oh man, sometimes I felt that the story could be going anywhere. Of course, it isn't cliché, and that's wonderful (beyond wonderful, actually. It's refreshing) but I just felt like some things in the novel just didn't matter as they were arbitrarily decided and came out of nowhere sometimes- and that feeling of detachment isn't so wonderful. Other than that... it's been fantastic so far! Character design- Oh man, where do I start? I think Bob is one of the best MC's I've ever read about. He's an idiot with a chicken, a naive, poor, hapless, gullible, but loveable idiot with a chicken. If I was Christian, I would say 'God help his soul', but I'm not, so, yeah... And it's not only Bob and his chicken (at this point, they're a package deal- it doesn't feel right to mention one without the other), I think I've actually liked every single character that has been introduced thus far (ch 69, and there have been quite a few characters!) and that's only happened at most 4/5 times in the 7 or so years I've been reading all sorts of novels... Updating stability- Well, I've read all the chapters that were already here, so I can't say anything about the updating stability. There did seem to be a couple of bumps based off of the 'author's thoughts' bits, so I had to deduct one star of this category for that. World background- Ahh, what can I say... It's been slowly but steadily revealed as we go along, in a rather smooth way might I add. The place names have been hilarious, much like the rest of the story, and somehow the author has made everything plausible and detailed. To sum it up, I don't think I'll ever be able to type enough praise for this novel, so I'll try and condense all of it into one thumbs-up emoji: 👍 (I hope you can see all the sincerity. 😅) I'm looking forward to see how this story, the characters and the world itself develop, and while I'm waiting for a fúck-ton of chapters to be released, I'll see if the author's written anything else!

Man, where to get started! A great premise so far with a lot of humor and laughs on my part! The story is starting to shape up well, and finally we are at the part where the story started! So chapter 73 if you guys want to know! Also the author is starting to have a better updating stability, but there have been bumps in the road. Still a great story with a lovable mc and his chicken!

Hey guys! This is the Author with a brand new story. As this is a WPC entry, this story was never premeditated so bear with the story. The story focuses on the main character's journey towards self-discovery. He is an NPC that suddenly gained sentience without the need for an AI. And of course, he's immortal and brings a chicken with him, cuz why not?

i really appreciate this story plot,thank you for creating this novel has interesting characters it's the first time I've read a story about an NPC as main character like this one and I'm enjoying it.The MC is funny with his learning about his world,the way only one person knows the truth it's better as the MC is staying a mysterious NPC/PLAYER so it's great. I'm quite impatient for new updates and hope the future chapters will continue to impress me .

Helluva book that brought me to multiple laughing fits 😂😂😂 I'm not really into a gaming system type of novel, but this one brought me to that sorta thing. Writing - it was pretty fun and really easy to understand for casual readers. Grammar didn't give me a headache so 5-stars for that Development - all I can say is HAHAHAHA over and over again. Characters - well HAHAHAHA the dialogues are enjoyable in and of itself so I really vibe with the seemingly immortal NPC Bob and his relationship with the chicken Stability - keep it up World - just great!

Recommended. Great story full of laughs with an amusing narrator. Only a few grammatical issues and parts that could have been worderd better here and there but not so many that it interrupts the flow of the story. Lots of good references. Great fun. Hopefully the chicken gets more character development soon.
