Alright. So a new review is needed. Especially since this is now developed into a pay and premium type story. However, of all the VRMMO stories on here, this is among the top worthy of SS. Some may say it’s just an ******* work, but it honestly stands above and apart many of the translated works. Here’s why: (yes it’s long cus it’s honest) 1. The writing quality is excellent in grammar and spelling with tons of modern literature, video game and movie references that fit so smoothly and make the story enjoyable. Instead of being cliche it fits just right in the moment and makes you smile and laugh. The dialogue is not too lengthy as to be boring and yet always adds life to the characters and shows insight into their characteristics, histories and relationships. It is also consistent, even as the characters develop and change/grow the dialogue continues to match. 2. The updates are steady. While there isn’t a bunch of mass releases due to it being written practically live by the author, you get your daily fix and if you are that addicted then go privileged for a good headstart. As a written piece rather than translated piece this is by far the most important quality of the author. It shows dedication and that the story will not be abandoned anytime soon. 3. The story development is unpredictable yet natural, with a good mix of cliffhangers and plot twists. Good luck and bad luck are there in spades without the need for OP MC. Which is a refreshing break from all the rest of the VRMMO novels that are like clones. It has all the great elements of a VRMMO such as NPC realism/comedy, realistic updates/character nerfing (lol. Oh so real for online games) and bug management (because honestly if you are OPing someone game then AI/moderators should be looking at you which is biggest bull**** of most VRMMO), real interaction/consequences between game and life, not too bogged down in stats /game details, struggles both in game and in real life (some of which are beyond the MC control and capability to fix), romance without too over dense characters or super maxed charm and beauty for every character, lots of comedy without having to be overly dependent on face slapping (yes library of heaven path which was written on repeat every chapter), and most of all simultaneous story developments that twist, flashback keep you in a rollercoaster with a mix of pace that is easy to be comfortable with and doesn’t force events/development. 4. The character development is the only one I marked as 4, but that’s only cus the damn author made so many interesting characters that I’m honestly deep in anticipation of their development and future influence. Especially in RL. But of course RL moves slower than game cus RL is always just like that. The game characters however are full paced and well developed with just enough details to make them lovable but with the hidden potential to surprise you and become a plot development. Underestimate nobody. There is no cliche characters so far, although at the beginning it seemed like it might go that way. Honestly, it feels like the author development grew at some point and so did the characters or something. But he avoided potential pitfalls. Character relations also change a lot but in realistic ways as we would with ppl who we consider old/new to our lives. And there is character conflict both large and small. Lol. The scenarios they also end up in with eachother are a smooth flow as well as their reactions. The NPCs are so damn lovable and their is a clear distinction in the feel of the story between the MC with players and NPCs that neither one feels useless and that could be left out. I’m just saying that if you are a big addict to RL development then you may be a little frustrated. Lol. But it’s VRMMO story so that’s what it’s all about and that aspect will develop at a higher pace naturally. 5. I’m out of space. But it’s damn awesome. So get to reading already.

I absolutely love this book. Bean reading it for almost a year now and I hope to continue reading it for years to come. The characters are well thought ot and developed with thither own personalities. No cookie- cutter character troupes send basic every guy is evil and every girl is beautiful/ in live with the MC. Plot armor is there of course but is not so thick as not ti be ever overcome. The MC is smart, tactful, honest, devious, lucky, but not all powerful. You can honestly feel the roots the MC head to dig himself out from to climb his way towards the top. The In- game aspect of the story is exciting to the point of addiction, and the RL-aspect of the game is a nice and welcome addition to the story that it's both well thought out and necessary. If I could recommend this story directly to a hundred peaple I would ragland it to a thousand. If I could give the story ten stars I would want to give it twenty. If you want a great story, with twist and turns, detailed but easy to follow plot, and manageable info- dumps that don't rant on and on. This is your kind if book.

've read this story up till the end. I've gotta say, it's good. it's a top tier webnovel story, and worth a read. it's about an mc trying reach the top of a virtual world with an undead legion. the mc starts from nothing, and manages to reach great heights, but it's all due to his efforts (and some luck, of course). he didn't gain some stupid generic system or hidden powers. he also does not act or feel like a soreborn loser, and there are not harems of course. not only this is a game that feels real, it being just a facet of a virtual reality doesn't mean it'll be less... it manages not to disconnect with the real world and keep it's edge at the same time. unlike some other novels with virtual reality themes that makes reality part seems like a different story, and an unpleasant wake up call from a pleasant dream and another competently written story. the reality part manages to complement everything without ruining it even remotely. the combat is exciting and well written. it being on a virtual world doesn't mean it's not exhilarating at all. since the character would lose almost all of his potential benefits on a single loss... the author somehow also manages to make almost every battle a 'stake it all' fight. which is amazingly competent. as for the characters, they are interesting at least. yes, it's good. yes, you should read it.

Great story, occasionally rough word choice/ grammar/ punctuation, and it's complete, so no waiting! I love how several "tropes" are set up, but they're all just a "red herring" to trick you into letting your guard down. My only real issue is the lack of sleep due to how well it hooks me in.

I am such a fan of this story. If you like VRMMO with a powerful/OP protagonist but one that earns it, this is your story! Honestly this overall story is magnificient and if I had one grip it would probably be the end antagonist. Alfred is a solid villain and becomes a world wide threat (even in real world with his threat to destroy the game). I like him for this story, I do not like him for the end boss. Perhaps it is because the author created such an amazing vibrant VR world full of great lore and mystical beings and creatures that I wanted just another 200 chapters of Dave/Skeletal/Kis’shtiengbrah/Gas Station dude to explore and keep beating these epic creatures. I would of personally seen Alfred act as a associate who lets something loose like the dragons or calamities and then get killed before leaving a final ominious message that he has already won. By winning he means he has activated the end game boss that Dave would fight. Now do not mistake me! Above is more personal preference for the story rather then a critique of the overall story. You really won't find a better telling of this type of novel on the internet which is suprisingly full of lackluster to ok and good. This one I would argue is a great time full of characters you will love.

I stumble upon this and I was hook, I stop reading everything just to read the story and I could never have enough. The author did such an amazing job writing this with the world development, plot twist and character development. I never though any character to be fillers and I love it the story is very organic and I honestly wish it would keep on going like the legion never ending. The only thing I wish would have been seem more in depth would be the father and son being hit up on a bit more other wise I love it.

This was released back when we still had spirit stones and I remember dropping this midway because I couldn't afford to unlock new chapters. But about a month or so ago I picked it up again and I must say, it did not disappoint

I have been reading many stories here and definitely have added this one to my reread list! Though it started out rather choppy, and there are a lot of technical writing and editing errors, I shall always keep this story in my collection. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and hope to read more of the same from our beloved author. FOR THE LEGION!

I'm not gonna give any complaint about the book or any credit either. I do however wish to stress where on earth they get away with this day light robbery. page 100 onwards if I was to pay to unlock the chapters would cost me around £80 for 400 pages? .... I have no words to describe it.

I really enjoyed this book. There was times that I wished Biako would have expanded on some the characters or side stories but he always portrayed himself as a non-filler writer and I have to say he achieved it. This books pacing, story and characters were all great. I binged this in less than a month and loved every minute of it.

This is a great book, it has a good amount of effort put into it and its not bad overall it’s just that I think the book could do more then the current ending, besides that, great book.

First things first it's a decent story. The few flaws... Time. The story takes place in such a short 'in world' time frame which is inconsistent with what is reasonably believable. The world in game is described well enough but the out of game world is kind of just left as 'future' and then ignored. There are a few elements of the story that could and probably should have been explored but weren't for some reason. Still it's a good story and if the author were to revisit it sometime in the future and take the time to rewrite it I believe it could be made into an amazing story. As it is it's a good work worth taking the time to see if it fits your personal tastes.
