    Hello, Shameless Author here. This is My 2nd Story and I learn a lot from the predecessor. I really like dungeon a lot, since I like play game, either Adventure or RPG one. So this not difficult or easy than the first one. [img=coins] Before write the story, I create the complete rough outline for I Am The Anti-Mage. Like what happen on early stage, how the MC at middle of the stage or how MC fight for the Later stage. What MC enemy, What MC fighting for, What power did MC have. What MC turning point, or MC key point, MC stepping stone and etc. But even though I have the complete rough outline, it didn't mean I have the complete story, I just lay a foundation for this story can be finished. The only thing that stopping me from update the chapter is whether I'm to lazy or I'm not in the front of my PC. [img=recommend]

    I want to give a lengthy review to explain that I have grown since I first wrote IAM. However, I changed my mind because I didn't think it would prove anything. I know the first 50 chapters were poor. And also a lot of coercive plots going on all over the place. And I hope that many of you will point out my mistakes so that I can learn to be better. Rather than just saying this and that is not good. There is no detail at all, and that leaves me with no direction in which to improve. I also learned to write with tenses because a reader told me to distinguish between the past and present tenses when writing a sentence. Sometimes, some readers help me remember the stories in the early chapters so that they are in line with the plot. That's proof if you don't just say nonsense. You can help an amateur writer who only has a story in his head to become a good writer.

    This is a solo leveling type of genre. It has a good plot. There an unnoticeable grammatical error but thereโ€™s nothing to worry about. The author has a good job of putting a definition for layman term. Looking forward for more chaps

    this story is a solo leveling type story but very downgraded. grammar is rough. the main character doesn't really seem as an mc because of the lack of actual content surrounding him. The story speaks of random hunters and soldier 97% of the time and the other 3% is the mc talking about his guilt for his fathers death. the story is very slow paced but not interesting enough to be like that.

    I can't help, to just write another shameless review to put an information. I am very open for a suggestion, you critic me too. But don't judge a novel that yet has complete, because your critic might be answered by a chapter in the future. You can share you opinion and though about this novel, but don't judge everything from just a mere few chapter. IF there something you didn't like or something you didn't understand or know the meaning. Please use paragraph comment on the sentence, I might tell you something as long as is not a spoiler. Who knows, something that not likeable might changed in the future chapter. something you didn't understand and don't know, might be explained and revealed in the future chapter too. The only one that know how this novel/story will progress is me, the one and only author of this. I can't just make a novel/story and dump all the information and explanation in one breath. It need to take step by step. If everything already shared and explained at the very first chapter, what the use of 2nd chapter, 3rd chapter and etc.

    To be honest, I got hooked up in first few chapters. It's tempting, but after he got back to his family it's like his brain has lost some function. ๐Ÿ˜‚ He don't know much about the world cuz he's in another world for 30yrs. He keep asking questions to people about something related to power, he got phone but didn't use it. He can just search it up but nah! I want to be looked like stupid. And it's weird to read some other languages (except name) in english sentence, why not just translate it to english ๐Ÿ˜‚ . like what a happen to France(in this novel) the guy shouting a french world. Me: Open up google and translate it. Wtf bro can u just write it in full english. It's good btw, it has "I level up alone" vibe but the grammar mistake and the stupidity of the mc ruined it. Btw I'm still reading it cuz im bored. I don't know if my english is good or bad, english is my 3rd language so yeah and I'm still a student still learning. Hoping for improvement โ˜บ๏ธ

    The story has a good premise, but it also has a lot of problems. Such as grammar for one, it's just hard to read a sentence and understand what it means, there's also sentences that seemed to be put together with Korean. Mc gets strong but tries to hide it for no apparent reason. Usually when we have a mc hiding powers it's bc he has enemies or he wants to get to a certain power level where when he does let people know he's strong no one can hurt his family. In this one hes strong enough to be an A class but hides it. Wants to make money but doesn't have the smarts to think "maybe I should join and be a hunter and just start out as D rank" if he wants to hide his powers so much. The main thing in my kind of low rating is the grammar though, that's what puts this novel below average for me, not the hiding power and, not the kind of dumb mc. I mean I'm so focused on what a sentence should mean that I miss half of what I'm reading if you can get what I'm trying to say.

    Basically Solo Leveling without the stupid system. The scenario and overall plot line isn't all that dissimilar. Quite frankly, when you consider the various clichรฉs, it's essentially the same story, just with minor differences. Yet, I like this story better. It seems better written and there is a little more depth to it. Kinda like when you read a fanfic of something that's better than the original that it is a fic of. Like various Naruto and HP fanfics over the years. This is like that concerning solo leveling. It's the same overal concept, just way better executed. The only thing that could have made it even better, would be if a different country was chosen than Korea, to set it slightly apart from the two, or if it was a slightly more alternative world setting where modern day geopolitical issues and borders got slightly redrawn, like a United Korea or something due to the portal event to add a little more flavor to the world itself. After all, there are only two ways a portal event could go for a less populated country with poor resources like North Korea could go. NUCLEAR or total defeat and subsequent absorbtion by South Korea or China . Thus, it is only in the world history that I feel more changes to reflect the after affects of such a portal event would have on society that I feel should be added to better ground the story. After all, currently it's as if the portals showed up, and everyone ignored it to go business as usual unless it was for their greed to be fulfilled. However the effects of such an event would me more simular to a country that has been at war, with the economy and society in a state thar reflects that. Thus my 4/5 stars, because there is room for improvement even if it is better written than simular stories.

    I am giving this novel 5 stars because I honestly find it impressive. I tend to balance read both female lead and male lead novels because of the things I learn from them, appreciate it! Now let's talk about the novel... Humorous and creatively written plot, characters building is great. I could feel my interest grew with every chapter I read! Read upto 5 chaps and I'm going to read it until the end! I appreciate your efforts author. All the best and thanks for inspiring me. I'll be keep watch over yours!

    The world while not unique is fun and the first chapter sets up a unique twist to the returner genre but it is a shame that the authorโ€™s inexperience shows a lot in this story. In essence its badly written with a combination of cringe lines and strange and forced logic. a rewrite in 5 years time would be a great read once the author grows and improves

    Here is my review on this book. I don't mind the grammar as everyone has a different starting and learns from there. The story concept, characters, power system,.. all good. โœ… But Kim Jin Woo's thoughts of hiding his power just because he doesnt want to bring him and his family trouble was kinda poorly played ๐Ÿ˜ฅ I'm not sure of a better alternative so i respect your story. But this is what I think; After finding himself back in his original world, same starting as you did but instead of him talking about hiding his powers, we use actions instead of words. For example, in the dungeon, while Eunbi and her squad were getting decimated, he still help them but less thought about hiding his powers. When it is repeated and contradicting, it gets annoying. For example, he doesnt want to fight, but next second decideds to fight. It will have been better not to go as a porter the second time but instead bring the fight to him to get him involved in the story. Well, that's all, thanks and keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to your improvement in all.

    Why no one talking about warcraft references? Well I just red the 1st chapter so I can't say for sure if the characters are a total ripoff, I mean can't you think of names other than magina and stormrage?
