Reviews of Re: Sword Emperor(old) by Yorth - Webnovel

Writing Quality: Is okay, sometimes it is pretty hard to read and you have to re-read the paragraph to get the meaning. Uses the same world a lot and doesn't use synonymous words. But is OK compared to some MTL trash-quality that I have seen on this site. Updates: Fairly frequent, sometimes he has a month that he writes every day, sometimes he takes a break of 2 weeks up to 1 month. Story Development: I read up to chapter 10-ish (don't read my reading status, fool you). I don't remember too well about this story since I did my review back then and got deleted, so I'm writing it again. This story is SLOW AS HELL. Ten chapters in and he didn't do jack ****, only: + took five hs to make his character when is usually made in 5 minutes. + wander in the tutorial zone + found his friends and repeated exactly what they told the reader 1 chapter ago. And the dude is still in the tutorial taking his time scrolling like he is some hobo. Dude, you have ten years of quest experience in your mind, don't you know there are unique non-repeatible quest? Don't you have fear that people will find them before you? Not even a shadow of doubt cross his mind, he's chatting while drinking coffee while spoon feeding basic information to his noobs friends. Character: Delusional of grandiose, stupid, and illogical at times. He has red eyes and blond hair (I think), and so he's instantly noble? Ok...If that was the case he would be detained and question his precedence, since there are not many nobles. He could tell his dears noobs friends to delete the character and make it again, or even better! call them before he started up the game...but no, no mention of that. He thinks he's better than anyone only because he knows the future :facepalm:... World Background: A system where the IA can make its own choices and decide where a player can take 5 hours making a character where other people has a few minutes. Not fair and non-sense. They knew each other for a few minutes, and she's going to give that huge advantage to him? No logical there. So for all that is said, is 2/5 stars. I will back up my review since "the system" purge novels it seems. 14/06/2019

Overall I enjoyed the story at first but the whole demons are going to take over the earth in the future thing was just a giant turn off for me to be honest. When I first got into this book I expected it to be centered around the game not some bull**** demons invading the world. Not to mention the way the 2 who are transported back are introduced is just obnoxious in and of itself. You would think the 2 would have atleast some sort of training with them being previously a part of a post apocalyptic world even if they are among the weakest of the human race at that time but they could barely even fight a fodder the game throws at them. And how would they even afford to buy the game itself since the money at the time of the apocalypse would’ve been rendered obsolete and they would’ve likely switched it out for a new form of currency.

I have been reading this novel the past week and i really like it so far. It takes the common reincarnation trope albeit with a small twist. He doesn't reincarnate due to betrayal - though so far we don't exactly know why he reincarnated. Which leads me to my next point: These chapters dont feel like some filler chapters where the MC just does things and the author comes up with the story as he writes. There are some mysteries and open questions that will (hopefully) get answered further down the line. This leaves me wanting for more. The only reason this story has not full 5 stars in every category is that there is not much story yet as the author adapted a rather slow pace. We are still in the early stages of the game and novel itself - in the tutorial. The same reason for World Background as we simply dont know much about the world our characters reside in. Conclusion: Characters make sense and dont feel like puppets to drive the plot. Pace is slow but consistent and updates are stable. The writing is clean and manages to hook me. Every chapter leaves me wanting for more while not every chapter is a blantant and unnecessary cliffhanger.

The story talks about Mark who went back to the past with no will of his own. This put him in a very weird and desperate position as every friend he had or connection he made was now gone. However, even with that, he could not hide the joy in his heart. Now that he came back to past, he could correct his past regrets and be the best. He was one of the best players in the past, and now he will be the best, with no one above him. However, as if by a joke of destiny, the reflexes and mechanics he cultivated throughout ten years have been stripped from him. Anguished by this setback, Mark went into a depressive bout. However, he pushed through and swore that even with every odd against him, he will still become the strongest. This is a story about a man facing his destiny, and I cant wait for its update.
