Synopsis

They called me a genius back on Earth. A threat. The man who broke into systems no one should access. They hunted me for years until... until they took her away.



I died with nothing left to lose.



Then I woke up here—in a world of swords and sorcery I recognize all too well. The "Saga of the Divine Swordsman." Except I'm not the hero. I'm barely a footnote in this epic tale.



That might be my only advantage.



I know this world is doomed. I know the so-called chosen one, Lucifer Windward, isn't enough to stop what's coming. I've seen how this story ends.



But this time, I refuse to be a background character in someone else's tragedy. This time, I'll change the script.



After all, what's fate to a man who's already lost everything once?

This is the rewrite of my first original novel. I am changing many things and I believe I can craft a much better story this time around. Feel free to ask questions below this review!

I was a fan of the old novel as well. And I read this novel till chapter 201 so far and really liked it as it is a big improvement. This novel isn't perfect but I really liked it. Firstly, the writing quality is top notch. No spelling mistakes, no grammatical mistakes and I personally like it a lot. This blends into combat scenes that are also written very well. It isn't anything revolutionary but the battle scenes are amazing. Secondly, character design. The character design is realistic, though of course slightly fantastical, and just super well done. I did think that some of the girls didn't make much sense to fall for the MC, but after reading more I trust that the author will tie it all in very well. Thirdly, the world background is very interesting and there is a lot of stuff and lore to explore. It is just a very immersive and interesting world I want to read more about. Finally, really good update stability. Now, one of the things I did not like as much about the novel was that the pace was a bit off. It slowed down quite a lot compared to the previous novel which I thought was nice, but at the same time, it felt fast. Just not a big fan of the pacing imo, but everything else is well done. Minor spoilers below: Finally, an MC that isn't an edgelord killing people for fun or having no emotions. This new MC is a breath of fresh air in this platform that I really love. Not only that, he is a very smart MC who is capable of playing high level mind games that I enjoy. I think that the thing author does with hiding MC's thoughts can be annoying, especially when it came to one of the female lead's, cause its hard to understand the MC's true thoughts, but I still loved it. The MC in this novel is a big upgrade. Overall rating: around 8.5-9/10 so far in my opinion. I don't read much on this platform but I loved reading this novel.

one of the greatest story i have read and the only real problem I get is that you should make casual conversation less dramatic to make it look more real sometimes conversation seems forced

it’s interesting, but not perfect. The story has action and mystery, which I like, and the main character feels real, The world-building is very detailed, The dialogue is good, but sometimes the characters talk too much when action should happen.

I loved this novel, but I read and am currently reading the previous version. Should I continue with this one or can I stick to the previous version? Also, will the previous version be updated?

34 chapters in so far and I gotta say, this story felt like I was reading a alternate reality of Atticus’s Odyssey with the writing. However, this time the mc is not op but he isn’t a pushover weakling. I’ve always loved stories where the mc had rivals and he wasn’t always facing old head powerhouses, this novel is up there in the peaks of high quality novels and very underrated.

Definitely one of the best novels of the genre. The world is nothing revolutionary but it is well described, the side characters have their own history and their own weight, the relationships that are formed (romantic and not) are well developed and the developments of the characters are consistent with the events. The only weak point (which could also be just a personal opinion) is that from a certain point on the MC seems to no longer rely on his knowledge and no longer plans as at the beginning of the story ... This means that he very often finds himself in life and death situations and without "power ups" or something else he would not overcome certain events ... Let's hope that the "The extra's fall" moment that our MC is experiencing after the last consecutive defeats ends soon and Arthur can finally "Rise".

Simply fantastic, the characteristics of the characters, the dynamics of the harem that became yandere (something I strongly approve of), the battles and the progression of the story, if I had to sum it up in one word it would be "balanced", everything exactly in the right amount, without dumping unnecessary information, without becoming OP out of nowhere. In addition, there is a lot of mystery involved and many twists, elements that will definitely keep you curious about the future events of the story, so I consider it a must-read for those who like the genre.

Very good novel. Writing quality is excellent. MC have good character development. ( MC initially was kinda dense about heroines feelings but later embraces his playboy side. ). He is Strong and is not afraid of offending others if need arise..He does not hide his powers and is not a simp. Good job on the rework author. Please keep writing the novel. We expect a lot more great works from you .
