should be called a touch of simp, the main character goes emotional literally over everything and this guy actually was an adult on earth....

One of my all time favorites. The rare OP MC who remains likeable and the story exciting. World building is top notch too. Wish it updated more often, but you can’t force creativity, so I understand.

An excellent novel that has a standard of writing well above the average works on this site. The only reason I gave it a 4/5 is due to the fairly common missing word or misspellings that you will see in most unedited works. The chapters are updated slowly but it’s well worth the wait even though I only spent about 3 days of reading to read all available 360 chapters (3years of work). There are some character choices that I don’t love, but within the more recent chapters (past 300) there is a better explanation for why things are happening the way they are even though I still have so many more questions I am dying to know the answers to. I greatly appreciate having access to a great new author especially when the work is completely free. Keep up the good work!

I love the characters and the world especially the storyline of the main character. He might be a little OP but if written right that could be fine. The only thing I have to gripe about is the amount that has been written and the frequency in which updating occurs. Other than that this is a fantastic story and I can’t wait to see where it goes

First I will go into the mechanics of the story, mainly focusing on the weak points of character design and the stability of updates. Now then; this is one of the best novels on the website. I am not exaggerating. This is an incredible story. However, some things are not perfect, namely the stability of updates and some of the character designs. Other than that it is extremely well written. If you are tired of RPG Isekai worlds with systems, where the main character is OP from the start, then this is for you. It is a refreshing telling with tropes. But the greatest tools within this story are the different perspectives and the foreshadowing. These really set it apart from other novels. Too many novels that I have read only focus on where the protagonist is, and not taking time shine light on factions or other individuals. The only thing that I dislike is how some of the characters began - some had a weak start but they have grown. As well, the stability of updates has dropped, but I think it is acceptable as Mobius still puts out 1-2 chapters per month. Recently Mobius has had a child, within the last two years I believe, so I think that this is excellent, but not perfect. But I understand his lessened stability, and so I am very grateful he is still continuing this series. Some of the characters seem to be one-note at first, but they have grown after time. Some characters which I would have liked to have read more of have not been dug into as much, but hopefully he will be going back over them. I will be going into spoilers now, so be warned. SPOILERS SPOILERS Some people have complained about the protagonist being stupid, which is fair that he has had almost no forethought during his journey, but I think that is part of his journey, which is great considering how he does gain powers and go through levels quickly. This is part of the character development the MC must go through. Most isekai protagonists have battles of power, which is moot since they are so overpowered. Right now there is a battle within the MC concerning his mind/soul/spirit. It has been done well so far. I would have liked to have seen more from his characters, especially the main cast of characters. This includes such things as them establishing their likes and dislikes, their interactions during meals, and maybe see some downtime for all of them. I would like to see one main character, Lily, where she does work on her alchemy or something. Maybe Sera, another main character, could be seen working on her archery. Sera could then compare her current self to how much she's grown, noting how much easier it is to pull back the bow and aim. Maybe a flashback could occur for Tal, and she thinks back on how she met one of her spirits. This would be really good. And now I will be going into my theories on how the story will progress. These are theories that I have, and will probably be wrong. But I will use specific evidence from certain chapters. These will be major, major spoilers, so be warned. SUPER SPOILERS SUPER SPOILERS One, I think that Mike, the MC, was chosen by the Ancient Ones, and that the Ancient Ones sent the string of Fate to him to push him to the new world. My evidence for this are: there is no such thing as a free lunch, the Ancient One put him at a specific time, place and world, out of all of the infinite possibilities from uncountable realms, and there were too many coincidences around his summoning. One, there is no free lunch. So the Ancient One posed himself as a kind Samaritan, but I think that He, the Giant Space-Whale, planned it. There are infinite universes, and he put Mike in a world which was going to be destroyed soon, and a world in which the gods had already requested help from the Ancient Ones. I think that Mike is the help from the Ancient Ones. The Ancient Ones are sick of cleaning up the messes of the gods and their enemies. They aren't their nannies. So I think that the Ancient One sent Mike so that he could help the world in his own way, as he is trying to be impartial, since Mike is free from fate, and could save the world or lead it to its destruction. Also, when Mike was summoned, he was summoned near a predatory dinosaur monster, and so he ran away from it, toward a knight squadron. This squadron then repelled the beast, moving towards their camp. But they were ambushed by enemies, and were only saved by the same dinosaur monster which had chased Mike, and then tracked after him. This ended up saving most of the squad. Also, while one of the knights was on his deathbed, Mike saved him using healing magic, which he didn't know how to do. Mike even comments in a later chapter that he doesn't know why he didn't just transfer mana when he tried to heal these knights. Morris, one of the knights he saves, happens to be the son of one of the greatest strategists of the day. The injuries that Morris received force him to travel elsewhere. This leads Mike to end up acquiring the 'Hero' title. All of these things can not be coincidence. I think the Ancient One influenced these events, and chose a spot where Mike could change the outcome of the world's destiny. Thank you for reading. And Mobius if you read this, don't try to change the stuff you're doing.

Great overall story. Author seem quite busy which is why I am giving it 3/5 on the SOU. Can't fault the author having a personal life after all. The thing that retracts the most from the story is a certain side character that drives me up the wall. Really wish said character would evolve. I will say this. The fact that this story does not have more readers is insane to me. It is miles better than most stories on this site.

Honestly one of the best novels on this site - it has everything - epic battles, a kick-ass MC, who very fast becomes OP, but still has more powerfull enemies, a good sense of humor, good worldbuilding, fleshed out side characters... I'm quite amazed that is not in top 10 of this site

I love the Background of the Story, the level up system is cool and the skill are ok. However the MC.. the main kill the story, he is so stup!d, he never train or do some plaining he just exist to use plot armor. The hole fact that after chapter 40 he always do thing to blow the minds of others just because he doesnt have common sense of this new world is DUMB.

It is an awfully good written story. That is certain. I’d recommend it for the well written dialogue and great setting. Yes, it is one of the few webnovel on this site that I’d recommend; But it is utterly and I mean devastatingly infuriating to see Mike the Protagonist go through his adventure. His idiocy or just utter stupidity couldn’t be more. The mental strength required to not scream at my phone for minutes on end is baffling. Yes. I see the irony in being that invested in a story. Getting back on topic, no sense of self or rational thought can be fun for a while, but a whole story with a protagonist that could be replaced with a stone is just senseless. There are moments of decision making and hard choices, but mostly he’s just drifting along for the ride. In the end I’m questioning this story. Although we see him use his past knowledge in certain ways. His understanding vanishes on most other topics. Thinking about certain tropes and clichés in his mind is refreshing, but only if he also acts on them and brings a new spin on them. Don’t get me wrong; they have a certain charm to them, but that is only the case, if you use them in new exciting ways. To sum things up, I agree that the author put his heart into creating it and it is a good story. That is, if it were published a decade ago. This has been written in this exact style for years on end; hundreds of them are on this platform. A bit more creativity on the character and story development departments would be nice. Finally, I can’t see myself enjoying the same nonsense of jumbled mess further down the road, even if it is a well written piece of literature. P.S.: I don’t count myself as a perfectly fine critic. This review was just because of my frustrations reading this book.

I've been reading this book for a while now, and till this day I'm glad I picked it up. It's an interesting take on a isekai like story. A unique take at that. It's fun to read, not too many characters, no obnoxious face slapping (though a little), and consistent protagonist growth. The only problem I have with it is it's fight usually involve a lot of 'dues ex machina'. Though considering he's supposed to be the prophesied "hero", I am let it slide

So I've more or less read that from chapters 1 till 200ish in a couple of days that was one of the best books I've read in quite a while definitely worth a read.

Not perfect, but certainly better than a lot of the other novels on this website. The MC is a bit underwhelming in terms of personality, but the system is interesting and the world is well flavored. Speaking of which, the world building in this novel is excellent. Although not exactly original (it is a fairly standard sword and sorcery setting), the author has clearly put a lot of thought into how the world works. So much so, that I'm looking forward to when the MC begins to explore other parts of it. There's even a world (well regional) map posted on one of the first few chapters. Honestly, if the author ever follows through on his/her promise of rewriting the first part of the story, and does some fairly significant editing to the rest, this could easily be publishable.

Very nice. Even the cliches are actually explained through Mike's extensive number of fantasy novels that he have read. The action is good, the characters are fleshed out (even the opposing factions), the story has way more, that could still offer.

Great and funny story, you should try as the OPness is not much ...for now......as it depends of the MC desire to learn and experience different things. Really good for fun reading

One of the best books available in this website. I would only suggest that the author should try and set a more easily seen progression in his skills and comparison between others.

Overdetailed fiction. 209 chapters covers i believe less than 2 month. MC just get skills without any development and refining, except alchemy and enchantment. I would recommend to read to make your own opinion.

So the thing i like the most about this novel is the narrative style(if you are desperate for a read with actually good English then you have find your match, just think of it as being fooled by me and read a couple of chapters ) and the world building, the shortcomings being the lack of updates and the character development.
