Epoch of Violet Star
It was the same morning every morning of every day for a typical otaku at first glance, living out the rest of his mundane days doing the same routine just laying in dormant. He always dreams of a more free live yet that in itself is out of reach. John Hellstein, an otaku plagued with a dark past, living in retirement for years slowly breaking and slipping away from the living until one day, a series of events caused him to go through an action pack experience similar to his glory days one last time before it ultimately leads to his death.
Upon his death, he reincarnated as his game character from one of his favorite MMORPG games which carries a lot of memories and meaningful mementos yet which is a stark contrast to what he was used to when looking in the mirror every morning. Dropped in a new world with no context, can "she" live a new and more colorful life in this new world while redeveloping from her dark past from Earth in order to live her life to the fullest? Using her newfound otherworldly strength to break free from her past human limitations, can she finally obtain a life of true freedom?

This is my very first book or very first attempt in writing a book for the first time as an author so don’t expect National Book Award level of writing especially when it’s coming out of Webnovel. As my very first book, I’m only doing this as an experimental thing. A prototype, to see how it’ll go. To see if I have a knack for the whole being an author thing. Just for fun pretty much. I’m literally learning as I go so please go easy on me as a baby author. Hell, I’m not even sure if I’ll even make it past baby author stage.
WARNING: This is a gender-bender. Honestly, it's depressing that out of the many tags, I have to give a warning for the gender-bender tag as there are so many that would hate on a simple tag. Well, I'm also giving a warning here as Webnovel removed the tag entirely so you won't see it in the tag section. Well, here's the warning I guess. So those of you that hate gender-bender for whatever brilliant reason, Just. Walk. Away. The safety of your comfort is NOT my responsibility.
The cover is not mine. If you are the owner and wish for me to remove it, I will gladly comply.
All pop culture references seen in this novel is not mine.
Okayyy so this is my first 'proper' review for anything novel-related, sooo it might not be the most consistent/fleshed out. --might contain some spoilers! I tried to keep it low as possible.-- Some warnings (i hope it doesn't put anyone off its a unique/good read and worth your time) Mentions of suicide, sexual abuse, alcohol abuse, and some gore. (gender bend? I don't think it's repulsive or that there is something awful about it. But some people just hate it. - _ - ) romance?: yuri(girl x girl). look in the tags. loli?: yes. permanently?: IDK. system?: Well yes but actually no. (more like a stat window it doesn't have bullshixt features. like extra stat points or a pocket Walmart. You learned a skill? it displays it, you level up? it displays it, no mini-map or anything like that) {ok maybe some but there locked.} ~Stars~ < Writing Quality: 5 - why? Well if someone were to closely inspect it I'm sure that they, Could find some errors but for those who read fast, there are no major errors. It's nicely organized and the chapters are LONG {by Wn standards}. (the author also asked/stated that if someone pints out an error they will correct it) < Story Development: 5 - Ok so the prolog is kinda long but it is worth it. Jhon's (Violet)'s character and backstory is more than interesting, after the prolog, it slows down a bit but it seems to pick up the pace again. < Character Design: 5 - Violet (Mc). appearance wise: it's good, the cover closely resembles the description Personality-wise: cosmically insane, ex-military, alcoholic, suffers from PTSD, seemingly laid back, and a fun person to be around. But also suffers from a chronic case of cringe from time to time. {'superloli' still gets me sometimes} The side characters are also good, they feel like people. < Update Stability: 4 - Uhhhh idk. the author updated the chapters so the timers reset, The first chapter was last updated 8 months so that's when the novel started I guess. I don't have a large problem with it the author did tell us that he has a lot of things to take care of (including school?) + as I said, the chapters are LONG. As long it isn't dropped, take as much time as you need. < World Building: 4 - it's the transported to a game world trope (but not really. More like a world with game elements like Japanese/Korean light novels or manga). Not a lot has been established but it has care put into it and won't feel like 'it's just the background'. < closing thought? it's good 👍, I like that the mc isn't a 'person that can do no good', or the world has wronged me, or a fat guy sitting and crying in their room, or Chinese Giga chad no 420. (s)he knows that (s)he a murderer and (s)he should be accountable for that. here come the PTSD-like nightmares and flashbacks, aside from that romance part didn't show up and I don't think it will for some time, I personally enjoy/like yuri, so that's that. writing is hard (we'll if you want to make a good story that is) he made something enjoyable, hopefully, he made fun with it I sure know that I have. otherwise, I wouldn't have written this. bye bye! 👋
I'm hooked. The desperation for more chapters is high. Everything about this, the Writing Quality, Story, Character Design, is amazing. World background seems like it's going to be revealed as we go, which I'm fine with. Have a 5 star review. Don't you dare give this book up. Please try to keep at least a weekly upload schedule!
need MORE CHAPTERS..........................................................................................................................
I have to say so far as of chapter 9 very high quality and developed in terms of the characters so far. most interactions feel very realistic on how they played out and is something that, I think, everyone would really enjoy!
writing quality is great Story development is pretty good Character design is godly updating stability....some things are better left unsaid world background is pretty good
author i like everything about it from the start of the 1st chapter to character background and OP LOLI is the best thing about😍😍😍 it's fun to read only problem is the late updating of chapters 🥺🥺 so can you fix it author please 🥺🥺 I can't wait for more[img=update][img=update][img=update][img=update]
I love this book a lot. It has become one of my favorite books to read. The only qualms i have about it is that autor does not give us enough chapters. I might go crazy from the lack of them. But in all honesty, it is a very good book. Maybe a little wordy at times but that isnt a problem for most I think.

Like all the other previo comments, we need more chapters! The writing quality is so good that so many are wanting more, Mr Writer, you should keep this up!
This would be pretty much a near perfect novel if the story updated consistently but other then that I love the characters and I love the story at least what little there was

This story is absolutely amazing. Upload schedule seems to be 1 chapter a month but with how good the story is, it is well worth the wait. Grammer is perfect, character building is perfect, world building is perfect. If you like genderBenders and vampires were the MC is a little OP you will love this story. Also to the aurthor, You should have more faith in yourself when writing you work, buts some “professional writers” I know to shame, also Don’t worry about apologizing for slow uploads, we understand real life comes first and we wouldn’t want You to rush such a master piece. Thanj you so much for writing this book, it is my favorite book on this website. :D
