Reviews of Guild Wars by Kotario - Webnovel

when i read the reviews i honestly felt like i probably wouldn't like this novel but this novel, However i was pleasantly surprised by how much i've enjoyed it. The main character is likeable and has a visible depth and as the novel progresses his growth is obvious to the reader. There is intrigue, there is sex, there is drama. Everything is in this novel, and everything is well thought out and planned and any issues that are in the novel the author is very interactive and discusses them and remedies if need be. And tbh i cant really find any fault apart from minor grammar issues. And for all those who are wondering, NO. There is no NTR and should read the novel and see for yourself.

An elaborate story set in two conjoined worlds, virtual and reality come together to form the backdrop for one of the best VR-novel stories on this Website. The usual overdone Reincarnation genre gets to relive its glory years through this story. All described and outfitted by tasteful grammar and a superb writing style. Now onto the meat of the review. For the last week I had been searching for a new VR-novel, since most of the ones I'm enthralled with and am waiting on updates for have been on hiatus or are currently way too slow with their updates. There's a long list of novels in this exact genre I've read but the ones that match up to this one aren't many. Notable ones are: -Phoenix Phire (Small hiatus should continue in a few weeks) -Rise of the Undead Legion (Very slow with updating) -Realm of Myths and Legends (Currently on hiatus) If you've read any of the above then this one is a must have on your reading list. Vice versa aswell. --- There's a lot to say for this novel and I'll try to keep it somewhat short, atleast for my standards. --- The world is as I mentioned before very elaborate more so because both 'worlds'(VR and Reality) get explored and explained, however there's no long info dumps to be found. Everything has it's time and place beyond the initial introduction which feels easy to grasp whilst reading. Never at one point did I get annoyed by exposition. Both worlds feel as if they are filled with life and adventures/interesting things. One thing I like about VR-novels among other things are the Game-Elements and they are described beautifully here, with the proper appearance. Author seemingly puts a lot of effort into making sure the numbers add up and can always be found in the chapter comments if anything is incorrect or mixed up. Overall I really like the world-building of this Novel and it feels alive. There's a few Side-Stories added in showing other people's perspectives which help in that regard. --- Characters come alive and feel genuine. Their feelings can be experienced and are played with by the Author in a realistic way. The main character has multiple personalities which after reincarnating and progressing through the story alter and change in regards to what happens in a realistic way. I usually don't really like characters which are at the utmost top of the Dao of shamelessness as many readers have called it but I find it passable, plus he doesn't use it a lot. I feel like the interactions between Qion Qi(Think I'm writing this wrong ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ) are somewhat 'too' silly sometimes. There's only so many fart jokes which I can personally enjoy before that gets old, sometimes I wish he could just be the bad ass lion sidekick I imagine him to be instead of the comedic relief of the story. Even without him farting and such there's enough humor in the Novel to get around. Author in the beginning got a lot of shit for the Female main character which I don't think he deserves. Admittedly I've come in after all the changes were made so I don't know exactly how the story was before but as it stands now I've never hated or disliked her. I actually like her drive and motivation, backstory and how she treats the people around her. I think she's well written. MC's guild is filled with fleshed out and loveable characters which I like reading Side-Stories about, aswell as interactions between them and the MC. His various love interests are the same, filled with different realistic emotions which keep them feeling alive. They add a lot to the story and I like that there's a few chapters worth of stories inbetween Arcs filled with conversations and interaction between them all. --- Writing is superb and is easy to understand and get through, the reading experience is delightful. The editor(Devil's Advocate) does his job great aswell. Anyways I need to cut it off here, can only have so much in a review, one day I'll get better at that. Thanks for writing Author (◍•ᴗ•◍)✧*。

NTRRRRRR DONT DO IT ! FL IS NTRED and then author changed chapter to LIGHT NTR but FL still cheated and liked it

I like the world and magic system but way too much side character pov stuff, and cut it out with every battle just being a huge info dump of the skills used; the mc has thousands of technics he doesn’t even use

When will there be more chapters and stuff

This is truly a great book I just hope you will release more chapters I know a lot of us want to know what happens when Draco meets his parents and I’ve been waiting since you first released this novel

Did you already dropped the novel?????????

To label "Villain" and have an Fmc is just plain stupid. A villain is not in love with anyone, has no feelings for anyone. Good thing, the author had the decency to say so in the reviews.

Ah, brace yourself for a riveting tale of mediocrity, or as I like to call it, "Guild Wars: A Symphony of Boredom." Strap in, folks, this might be a bumpy ride through the thrilling world of Draco and his oh-so-imaginative backstory. So, our dear protagonist, Draco. A name so creatively mundane, it could be the brainchild of a 13-year-old Dungeon Master attempting to be the edgiest edge lord in a game of DnD. But let's not judge a book by its hilariously lame name, shall we? Now, Draco's gripping tale begins with the classic trope of a poor, parentless, bullied kid who miraculously rises to become the 3rd best player in a virtual online game. Guild master, cartel leader, cold-hearted extraordinaire—oh, the cliche brilliance! And, of course, he meets his inevitable demise through assassination. Riveting, isn't it? But wait, why should we root for this masterpiece of character development? Draco, devoid of redeemable qualities, had a relatively cushy life in the virtual realm, no familial ties, and about as much motivation as a sloth on a Monday. Sympathy? Please. He couldn't sympathize with a rock, let alone the poor souls he encounters. Our MC is basically a stoic edge lord, the kind who throws sympathy out the window, steps on everyone's feelings, and builds a guild empire for purely selfish reasons. Who doesn't love a protagonist with a heart of stone and a mind focused solely on self-interest? Oh, and let's not forget the riveting speed run through the game that culminates in a World Title. Bravo! The whole narrative feels as rushed as a caffeine addict sprinting to the coffee machine. No emotional weight, just a plot carried along like a deflated balloon in the wind. Action sequences, you ask? Hold onto your seat because they're as lackluster as a soggy sandwich. Blink, and you might miss the lightning-fast events that somehow manage to suck out any tension faster than a vacuum in a black hole. Rare items? No struggle. Draco's apparently on a first-name basis with luck itself. Meanwhile, the average Joes in the game are left to wrestle with struggles that Draco couldn't be bothered to understand, let alone experience. And the characters, oh, the rich tapestry of blandness! They exist solely to be trampled upon by our illustrious MC, both now and in the foreseeable future. A standing ovation for character development, everyone! In conclusion, "Guild Wars" is a masterclass in plot-carrying, emotion-lacking, and character-trampling. The only shining star in this lackluster constellation? Foreshadowing. Because nothing says "quality storytelling" like predicting the disappointment that awaits.

thought it was meant to be sporadic releases, but now it seems to be more than that

here can advertise your novel, please tell me Multiprof | Apocalypse here can advertise your novel, please tell me Multiprof | Apocalypse

I absolutely love this book , so many anime references

Fun concept with poor execution. Plot holes, flat side character development, ham-fisted unreasonable scenarios just to force OP strength onto MC, and so much cringe that your cringe will cringe. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

The story is very interesting at the beginning I was quite annoyed but then I started getting more excited and including the character development and the story is also funny a lot and sometimes the MC was too shameless and still much more and yes there's a lot of information dumping and sometimes an entire chapter is taken by information we already read but that doesn't bother me much and my conclusion I think Guild wars is still an amazing novel. funny and interesting and I really hope the Creator will try to release frequently even though he's working on a new novel I really hope he will try his best to update this novel

I love a good litrpg. This novel has nice world building and characters

I have been reading this novel since it was but a measly70 chapters old toddler. At first the novel might not seem like much but the author, Kotario is a superb writer. The book has been carefully curated to appeal to all audiences. For the drama lovers, you are covered, my fellow gentlemen are satisfied😏 and for those who love the joy, the adreneline rush of reading, you have that in spades. The character development is truuly awesome. All involved characters are well developed with proper back ground stories befitting their calibre and power. The story develops steadily from the first chapter onwards with just the correct dose of suspence, enough to make you want more but not too much such that you feel you will give up on it. The quality of the writing is amazing with only slight mispronunciations(keyboard typos) keep your quality of comedy upto standard as it makes me crack up every time I read this stuff. The only issue I have is with the up[date stability which is minor. I hope you can keep up but alert us if you can't write or if there will be a delay in release. Otherwise Author Kotario I would like to congratulate you in creating a master piece (If you drop this I pray that the golden savages visit you sometime🙏)

Love the story shameless author, this story and chrysalis have the best world building i’ve read so far but this novel really blows me away. Now quick drop the discord so that I and all the other handsome fellows can bully more chapters out of you.

Honestly the story isn't bad but the writhing and pace just kills the hole thing.

To start off I read 1077 chapters so I know the whole story. For pros: good plot funny steady pacing great characters For Cons: unique quests are boring stats stats. Way too many stats slight spoiler but they never make it to the sci-fi section. I was waiting for that the whole time

a very good novel, that was ruined by the countless filler words and continuously filler chapters that dont add much nor people care about what the filler is all about (like about useless side characters and side stories that we dont even remember the name of, or description of useless skills that most people just skim them through and like the System announcements that are always accompanied by 3 equal messeges that repeats the announcement for local, regional and continental announcements, just there to add to the word count while not having to actually develop the plot). be prepared people, nowadays although i still read it, i question myself daily why i do it when every chapter is at least 75% filler. i really respect the author for creating a good novel, but nowadays the fillers are just too much. Dont waste your time guys, the author just seems to be milking his fans as much as possible, while not having to worry about plot progression, which recently is close to zero, honestly.

Really good novel. I'm liking The way The story is beeing developed

Honestly, the quality is mid to maybe above average at best. There are glaring plot holes, some some chapters have too much information on them or are too short. Multiple chapters are side-quests. But what truly makes this novel shine is the narration. It's quirky, funny and unique and that's what makes this one of my favorite novels.

[I read up to chapter 704] This is an excellent novel, The mc is not a villain he is at most an anti hero, unfortunately the author spends a lot of time changing perspectives, sometimes we spend 3 or 5 whole chapters without the mc even appearing , the author also spends a lot of time introducing characters and stats of secondary characters that I don't even remember the name, another thing that made me put this novel down was that the game world is not real, no matter how real the game is, it still is a digital world, but if you manage to ignore those problems, you'll really like this novel. (Google translator)

Does it have to be related to a video game franchise by the same name? or someone says with your "typical" 4 stars rating review [img=recommend]

the plot could have been more beautifull, the author looks like he planned the plot in 5 min

I, like many others, dropped it at chapter 30, here's why: First of all, chapter 30 was bad enough that the author decided to rewrite it. However, I wouldn't call it an improvement since it introduced some inconsistencies. You'll know what I mean when/if you get there and read the comments. Clearly, the author wanted that chapter to be completely different but gave in to the complaints. Now, the contents of that chapter do not bother me, since I have read, far far worse (trust me). What bothers me is the cliché justification of what happened. It's something you see a lot in stories that are geared towards a certain audience. It does not work in those stories and it certainly does not work in this one, which doesn't even aim for the same audience. The author shifts the responsibility from one party to another as a sort of plot twist, but this is misguided. Actions have consequences and things like infidelity have devastating consequences, more often than not. The same thing happens in a different novel and the cheated party commits suicide (just illustrating the aforementioned devastating consequences). Aside from that, I had many minor complaints such as the cliché back and forth typical of cultivation novels, the long info-dumps and the boring crafting chapters (at some point he spends around 6 chapters crafting weapons and potions), plus, the outright massive rewards the main character gets throughout the novel, but that was not enough for me to drop it. However, that's different when the main conflict of the story gets "resolved" in such an unsatisfying and misguided way. What I did like were some comedic bits such as the main character's narcissism, how he roasts the monsters, the way his relationship with his generals changed from one timeline to another and how they end up joining the monster roast sessions. That was pretty funny, but unfortunately, not enough to keep me going. The author says it gets better but I highly doubt that, considering my major gripe with how the conflict was resolved. Still, I wish the author good luck with this and the next projects and that he continues to improve his skills.
