Synopsis

Without warning and reason, I'm chosen to be a player in the Desolate Game.

However, with [Selection Option] granted at the start of the game, I breeze through this perilous world.

"You've opened the Newbie Starter Pack. An item will be randomly drawn."

"[Selection Option] has been activated..."

"Sorting the items..."

Seeing the brilliant green radiance amidst the sea of dull and plain options, Wang Shuo selects the brilliant option without any hesitation.

"You received Primordial Chaos Skill (Lower Mystic Tier)."

This is the story of blood and tears where an epic player, equipped with GM rights forges through his battles.

The author’s name is “beating wood”? What... “wood” are we beating... *cough* That aside, I think this novel is really just subpar at best. Like, at the beginning, chapter 1, of the book, the system basically gave all the players a auestion: What is 1 + 1? Is it... A. 471038482 B. 393018375 C. 89382929 ...... Y. 3 Z. 2 It’s so obvious what you should pick, yet some people still pick the wrong answer. You could tell me that 1 + 1 could technically be 3, and I’d say, sure, but 2 is still the best answer. It’s not like the system just assigned them a random answer, no, they could pick and they should be able to apply some basic logic and think, ‘Oh, that’s not the answer’. Like, do you not see the rewards that are being offered by the system gets better and better when you scroll down?! Wouldn’t this mean the best reward is at the bottom? But it seems that hundreds of people can’t even think this far?

Interesting story. Kind of a unique cheat in that it's only as good as he is at deciding what to pick. Requires some thought at least to pick out his own weaknesses when making decisions. The only problem is that so far the weaknesses are very apparent. I'm hoping that is just for the training stage and that we see the MC make some more mistakes with his choices (or at least have to think way harder to come to conclusions) once the game is no longer trying to prepare them to adapt to the new world.

I don’t see any real reviews. So, lemme try. Compared to recent trial reads, it’s not bad. But, that isn’t quite the accomplishment. The story is about the MC being brought into a weird trial video game and all he does is fight through rounds. The MC’s chest is that he gets to select his loot from the chests that drop. (Kinda like the digging novel) So, basically, he gets the highest and best loot drops possible. As the snynopsis states, his entry level gift was the best one offered. (Time out, PRIMORDIAL CHAOS skill is only mystic low tier. I don’t know of higher ranks, but I do know that low - tier isn’t the best of it’s tier. putting Primordial Chaos as low tier in its rank let alone at the highest rank completely shut me out. It simply tells me that the author simply doesn’t care. They put the biggest, most grandiose names they could think of and slapped them in. It screams lack of quality, let alone originality.) Minor spoiler, his enemies for the first few chapters are ducks. Then Kobolds. Then f’ing catgirls. I couldn’t read it. I’m assuming webnovel has no more novels to translate and if there was a barrel, rather than scraping the bottom of said barrel, cut a hole in the bottom of it and grabbed whatever god forsaken nonsense these latest trial reads are.

What is this terrible and awful translation after chapter 40? It is so disgusting how a decent Nobel was just ruined because of that, what is the editor doing. Remove this trash.

After chapter 40 the translation quality is the equivalent of google translate, it’s actually worse, that it becomes unreadable. The background and character buildup is solid, ”cheat” is not overly OP. Solid story ruined by terrible translation.

So I’m not going to repeat what other negative reviews are saying but rather something that has been grating on my mind while reading after chapter 40 and is not exclusive to this novel but rather all ”officially” translated novels (some worse than others of course) but the fact that after chapter 40 all effort in translation quality disappears and thing like editor notations are left in, words are just not translated or changed to English equivalents, words or titles previously used will change sporadically, multiple words will be the same despite meaning two different things, and finally constant misspellings on simple words (previously spelled correctly) and in all just show a clear lack of care in the book due to the fact that most people who buy after 40 are already invested into the book and they blatantly take advantage of this.

Definitely one of the more interesting ones of this batch. I like the idea of this cheat, the MC doesn't have to deal with RNG in his item drops and rewards which is a clever way to make the MC Op and unique while still potentially allowing more tension than other similar novels have. I hope the concept is well executed because so far the author is mostly just writing setup

I was looking forward to this novel and I really enjoyed it up until chapter 41 where the quality just went downhill (random capitalization, sentences cut in half and its difficult to read) its such a pity because this idea has good potential
