the story is the typical weak to strong attempt, keyword attempt, because this genre usually tries to add in a sense of realness to it, thus the story either ends being really good or the lowest form of trash possible that makes it unreadable. The mc at the start is weaker than an average normal human on basically all parameters and he doesnt even have mana, yet despite being weaker than you and I he somehow managed to get in a school for super humans... how you may ask? no reason lol, he doesnt even have any sort of connection, money or academic ability, but its not like this author cares about logic, thus this story fails right at chapter 1. Anyways I didnt start reading this expecting a masterpiece so I preserved and turned a blind eye to all the stupidity and cliches right till (spoiler) the classic girl turned into a vampire arc cus vampires are cool and edgy, this arc was just too stupid and braindead to the point that I cant endure this torture anymore -_- in this arc the author went way out of his way to break the already almost non existent logic in this story, from mc letting villains injure him because a demon is seeing through them? although this was not an issue with the other villains who are even ranked higher, but if he didnt get injured the random vampire wouldnt have found his blood on the street to get a power up for by licking the blood that is somehow still fresh and get the power to turn magical girl into a vampire -_- summary: typical trash story that pretends to not be a trash story, so it doesnt offer any sort of enjoyment. And to the author if youre reading this please find another career this is really not it -_-
Attention: I originally wrote this review in Spanish so you may find some inconsistencies and spelling mistakes. To be honest, it's a pretty good work, although it's true that the development of the protagonist can be a bit "emo" at the beginning, it's understandable because of the context/story of the MC, even so his personality develops and improves until he manages to open up to Irina for the first time. The development of the protagonist's power seems perfect to me, neither too slow nor too fast. I like how the author develops the emotions of the MC and the secondary characters, giving them a very pleasant and unforced touch. The power system is not the typical one so that's a plus. The secondary characters, despite not being perfect in development, have their history, traumas, tastes and personalities and we get to know more about them as the chapters go by. It is possible that some people find the beginning a bit tedious, but I totally recommend reading the work, it is much better than most of the works you can currently find on Webnovel. ps: Author, I beg you not to abandon the novel even if some liars and inexperienced people criticize the novel (I recommend you pin my message, it is a very good and realistic opinion).
Seems like a new nice story , prolly will wait until Some chapters are out before rating for real it but looks very promising
I read about 300 chapters. I just wanted to drop it multiple times throughout my reading, but I thought it will get better, so I hung around longer, but it didn't get better. ------------------- Here's the good parts of the story: - Author takes new approaches to the typical reincarnated into a game scenario. It's not just someone died and poof he's inside a game world. Also, a lot of events are properly thought out (no stealing opportunities, no utilizing future knowledge to steal from auction...etc. you know, the typical stuff you see in other works). - MC has a purpose and drive. He doesn't just want to exploit the game and get stronger for flimsy reasons. He an extreme revenge type of dude, which I like. - Characters have variety and each has a set personality and growth. ----------------------- Here's the problem with the story: - Main problem: Writing a lot of useless words and adding a lot of flowery words. Author might think that these set the atmosphere and make for nice writing, but honestly it's distracting and makes it over the top. especially when even characters talk in this over the top flowery language, like when professor Eleanor briefed students about the test. [Examples: "the rustling of leaves seems to whisper secrets and warnings" - "forming a chorus of anguish" - "a symphony of terror that pierced the darkness" - " thanks to the enhanced boots" - "this alone showed how much potential.." - "it was evident that.."....etc] All these are added in paragraphs of action disrupting the flow of battle, or when there's no combat, then it's just an attempt at using beautiful language, but it's just cringy and tiring to read. _________ Author could take a couple of points from korean novels, they don't add unnecessary expanding nor describe things in flowery words. ___________ - Another problem is that the story is dull and got more boring with each following arc. Honestly the first arc was the best one, despite the overly flowery words and cringy talks between characters, the story itself had a clear direction. The following arcs are bland. For example the latest arc I read, they went to phantoms land, however it didn't feel like there was a build up nor a climax, even the reward after everything was done was underplayed and felt boring despite the big power up. ____________ - Now my final problem with the story: It didn't feel like we went anywhere, the story almost feels stagnant, even though the timeline moved forward and the MC got stronger, I see no immediate goal in sight. Here's how things will unfold with this story: MC trains > gets stronger > gets shoved in event > fights something > gets power up > trains > event > power up.. .etc. That's how it happened in all 300 chapters and that's how it'll be going forward, it's bland and boring. Do you know why other stories with a similar set up are more appealing? It because characters have long term goals (which is present here "revenge") and they have short term goals. MC here doesn't have short term goals nor any desires. He hates demons with a passion, so it should be reasonable for him to have goals like to brutally scheme against anything demonic and go DOOM mode on them. But we don't see that, the dude just gets shoved into situations that have demons and he defeats them. Demons come to him, not the other way.
Great start. The prolo really hooked me. Unfortunately, it turns in to a first person narration and I don’t read first person. But from the few chapters I did read, I hope people give the novel a try.
Great story of underdog. Really like how the MC is weak and becomes strong. Please continue writing, really like your work. Wish that he'd get even stronger.

Giving 5 stars just because the prologue and summary is interesting. But unfortunately, I feel very uncomfortable reading a first person based story. All the best!!!
To Author: ignore the blabbermouths, though I see other novels it I'm loving your ingenuity keep up man
I saw the romance tag and there wasn't any harem tag so I started reading. After reading some chapters I thought it would be nice to see how the MC would change because of the FL. I picked up some signs but I ignored them. Then, when Sylvie hugged Astron I thought she must be the main FL but just right after that Maya turned into a vampire and the scene confirmed it. It's a harem. I stopped reading since I started because it had romance, I didn't want to read a harem one. The story and plot were great but... YOU SHOULD GIVE THE HAREM TAG IF IT IS A HAREM!!
don't usually right reviews, this is one of the best books I have read so far, good development and engaging characters.
How long does a mc remain weak ? [img=angry][img=angry]
This one is a well above most novels here. its well writen, great world building, character is not op which is a relief, not a lot of chapters so far, but it easily reaches in my top 5 just ... please dont end in a harem oh please
