Reset: DPS to Support?!

Started reading and found that it has some good potential but I didn't really enjoy it much after he met the main side character who may or may not be a love interest? It just dulled the story to me.

You should definitely give this book a chance. The writing is strong and clear and it doesn't include a lot errors. The author is active in responding to and liking comments which always feels special. The story has been thought out, and it isn't being done completely on the fly. Take that level of quality, which can be very difficult to find on this app, and give it an interesting plot and decent characters. The characters are all decent and you can remember them. As it goes on they become a little more comfortable. Some of the first conversations might have a been a little trope like. However by the end of the first arc (80 some chapters) they are on their way to having their own voices. The first arc kind of drags on towards the end, but it is really just the set up. We know all the major mechanics, plot threads to be explored, and characters that matter for the near future. The author posts very regularly, so we get something almost every day now that he has found his rhythm. My score isn't the highest, but I'm grading harshly. I read this every day and it's one of my favorites, and one of the only stories I bother reading anymore. If the plot doesn't spiral out of control, then this story will undoubtedly still be awesome a year or two from now. I wouldn't even be mad if he posted a little less frequently, that's how good I think it is. If you read my review, have a nice day and I hope you enjoy the story. Note: As of this review, Shinto (protagonist) hasn't done a lot of supporting. But he'll definitely do more later. He's very early in the game and doesn't have a lot of skills. He hopefully doesn't somehow turn into a summoning dps. If you're still here, you should reply with your main support characters. I like Catherine in vainglory.

And so, today marks the day of the 1st year anniversary of [Re: DTS]. Thus, I've finally decided to review my book and give some insights on whether or not you should pick it up or not (I've rated it 3.0, as it's the middle ground.) Now with that in mind, shall we get started? (At the time of this review, 27/7/2021 - 222 Chapters) -Writing Quality- I'll start with writing quality. In terms of it, I'm fairly confident to say that it's one of my best qualities of this book and as an author, I can safely say it's one of the good quality books out there. (Yes. I have flaws and me saying this gives quite a bad take on the other stuff since I'm saying 'best' quality, but I'll continue onto this point later.) Though, despite what I said, you may not think so as my initial chapters (Arc 1 mainly) has some terrible grammar errors which I'm looking to fix in the future. But it does gradually get better as you progress through the story. -Story Development- For story development, the pace of the story is quite slow. So if you do not like it, you may not want to read it. However, I tend to write a lot of lore/backstory for my book, which I'm confident in. But, continuing onto my previous point that I've made in writing quality. In general, I do not have much confidence in the earlier plotlines of the story. 1. I've got too many regrets and had many misoppurtunities for certain scenes. 2. At the time of writing the arc (Arc 1), I was incredibly sick - Thus, the flow was not there. 3. A few flows of the story that may not sit well with many people. I for one had felt as if the dropping point for a lot of people starts here. And, well, I would too at a certain point. But, despite this, I'm working to improve on what I've built upon. Currently, as of Arc 3 and the recently finished Arc 2, I can say that I very much like the current flow of the story (With some minor issues I've faced some chapters ago). So, for now - While writing Arc 3, I will gradually revamp Arc 1 and the first half of Arc 2. It will be much better than now, that much I can promise. -Character Design- To say the least, I'm an author who likes to write dialogue rather than narration. I love to emphasize characters and have them lead everything rather than myself. I love the characters and enjoy every interaction that they have, even if some may be useless. However, it does come with some downsides as many (I presume the main reason) of you would like to only solely read about the MC since he is a support. But, I would also be focusing on the subplots of each and every side character (Mains) that are introduced. I'm a fair person and would give everyone complete stories by the end of the book. -World Background- Firstly, the PVP system in this game emphasizes a MOBA format (Yes, there is a classical PVP system like 1v1/or other game modes and etc) But, the main point of focus is the VRMOBA aspect (I will give this and the game equal focus) and I am very much excited to write about the strategies of how a game would play out and the like :3 For the game's core mechanics - I gave it a typical RPG take with my own twist to it (I had issues with cooldown initially, but I've fixed it) - I make sure the mechanics all make sense to one another and that, the game's logic is logic. For this book, I have taken inspiration from multiple places. Games mechanic, novels like TKA or Overgeared, animes like Log Horizon and manhwa. Now that concludes the end of the review. You can ask me questions down in the replies and I'll do my best to answer them (Without spoilers of course), but that is mostly it. Thank you so much for reading, have a great day! I know this is a red flag for many of you reading this. But, who am I to say for you to read it or not? This is my take on it personally after a year of writing this book. However, I love the characters, the world of this book that I've written. So, my final words: You may like it. So pick it up if you'd like and thank you :3

Reset: DPS to Support!? Is a good novel if you're the type of reader that love reading something that relies heavily on RPG systems. It's not the next Log Horizon, but it's perfect for anyone who needs their fix of game-based storytelling. Shinto as a character is lovable, but I would love to know what's going on in his head whenever he's thrust into a situation where combat is his only option. The supporting cast with Shinto play off well with one another, but try to give them the same equal depth that you'll give to Shinto and not simply base their entire person solely on the quirks you fit them into- having a roster of dynamic characters would make for an equally dynamic story- plus I'm a sucker for quality banter between characters~ overall, I can see that author Tamaki really does his best in writing and that he only has more room to grow as he writes. So do check his work out!

I’m really loving this book so far. I’m looking forward to seeing how well he plays a support class since in my opinion at least. It’s more difficult to be a good support than it is to be a good DPS player. Because it takes good team coordination and individual skill. I’m also excited to see how this class performs because from the passive of day time makes it sound like it could be a support/DPS class. I just really want at least daily updates that’s all I ask. Especially because it seems like this book might go far in the power rankings.

I rly like this novel, got quite a few original takes, an original writing style, good character designs. what I was mostly surprised about is that the author seems to know his games, haven't rly seen any flaws that rubbed me the wrong way, which is pretty rare for a webnovel book, especially in the gaming genre. There are some lose ends in the story, development, world setting, but like I said no real flaws, it's gonna be the authors choice how he is gonna knot them up later. He also took up some other difficult approaches which shouldn't be easy to write flawlessly, but till now everything seems good. I,m really interested to see how this novel gonna develop. now... negative aspects, there aren't rly anything obvious, maybe the story progression is a little on the slower side. But something keeps constantly bugging me, the novel is rly amazing, but reading it is more like a relaxed read, it amazes me, but it doesn't make my blood boil, anticipate new chapters, burn with enthusiasm like some of the best reads of the hundreds I had. And I,m not quite sure where the problem lies. if it's the progression, or the battles, or the simple but on point writing style which makes it more relaxing. or maybe it's cuz the setting was a little vague and the happenings right now are all still mysterious and I couldn't build a connection yet. hmm... I think it's the last one. well let's see, I might update this in a few months :p good luck author, keep it up

Typical another author getting me addicted to their book. I definitely recommend this and you just have to read it to understand why. More chapters please!

Wow, this is actually a really good book! The story line is well thought out and interesting and the writing style is descriptive yet easy to understand. I think the author could work on giving the characters more depth but to he fair, this is clearly a plot-based book. Keep up the good work!

The book is better than decent, but it could improve. There are problems prevalent in this that are prevalent in many books in this particular genre, that being numbers having little-to-no weight, as well as some descriptions being more tell than show. Other than that, I vibes with it.

This may be a strange review, but I actually received a physical version of this book delivered to me by Amazon. I did not order it, and also the author was apparently "Eric Hambrick". I guess I am just wondering if you have any knowledge that this book was published under a different name? Pic attached

It had a confusing start and for me it only got more confusing. This novel has great potential it's not 'bad' it's just not to my certain tastes in a novel.

Nice change of pace from all the other MMORPG novels out there so far. It starts out similarly where the MC is the top player in the game but instead of a betrayal by his best friend and girlfriend. His two best friends notice that he's actually stuck in a rut and has been holding himself back from truly enjoying the game and force him to take a well deserved break. I'm only on Ch 22 but I enjoyed the beginning so far. Very stat oriented once he changes classes but it still progresses instead of just straight numbers. Let's see how it goes.
