Synopsis
Elliot was the perfect example of a nerd who never truly tasted what life had to offer before death claimed him.
Because of his brilliant mind, he easily married the most coveted girl from his school—though it was purely because her father wanted to exploit him, and he remained completely oblivious.
However, everything came crashing down when he realized how much of a fool he'd been for all the wrong people. But he wasn't entirely hopeless. Elliot was rather indifferent about death.
A second chance, however, shattered that indifference entirely.
Due to a heated disagreement between a god of trickery and a mysterious old hag, Elliot was reborn into a strange new world as Northern—a completely different realm.
This world had forged its own voice, birthed its own calamities, and crowned its own heroes. In a world where people awaken talents, Elliot strangely awakens the ability to copy those very talents.
But with that power came crushing responsibility—burdens far too heavy for a young, inexperienced boy like Northern to shoulder.
Still, he'd rather walk through the flames of hell than shatter.
***
This novel spans over a thousand chapters, so let me give you a heads-up about what to expect.
The MC will be insufferable at first. This is a story where the MC has mountains of growing to do, and yes—he'll be grating for the first few hundred chapters. Whether you stay or bail is entirely up to you, but trust me: he will evolve, and watching that transformation will be incredibly rewarding.
You know that feeling when your roommate who wore the same crusty hoodie for a week finally learns to do laundry like clockwork? You watch them folding clothes like it's sacred ritual, guarding that laundry basket like a dragon's egg. Or when your favorite author—who never used to reply—suddenly starts responding to every single comment with genuine care.
You realize you could've missed witnessing their complete transformation if you'd given up on them. That's exactly what this is.
This will be a brutal but captivating ride—just don't abandon him too quickly.
Oh, and the grammar starts a bit rough around the edges but smooths out significantly in later chapters.
Thank you, and I'll see you on the other side of a thousand chapters.

Author's divine review. After a hundred chapters. I have decided to drop a honest review of my work. Okay, for the first hundred chapters we focus on Northern and his sufferings. Even though this is a book about an overpowered character, my MC is not suddenly strong from the beginning. We see how this happens, how he survives in a realm of suffering and comes out different and strong. So, yes if you are expecting an overpowered character from the beginning this is not it. But I do promise you that following Northern would be a delightful experience. Next we have the characters. The characters are made to be so realistic, you'll meet dumb characters, you'll meet brilliant characters, some of them you will love some of them you will hate, but you'll find yourself unable to just quit the story... there's so much information, so much to say because Ul'Tra-el is just a magnificent world full of wonders, even I have not explored it all. I implore you to dive into this world with me. I'd love to take Northern's journey to the very end with you guys, till he becomes the pinnacle of not just one world but all worlds, till he marries, gives birth, grows old and die. I'm determined to see this to the end, so come with me. Thank you.
the thing with novels is if u want people to spend money on them , u need to get them hooked or at least curious enough to read past the free chapters . this one didn't manage to do that with me . the writing could be much better. the constantly shifting povs in the beginning, weird info dumps and complex classifications just makes it much harder to read . also i understand if his parents didn't want to teach him how to fight so that he could get a better technique later but why didn't they teach him anything? nothing about rifts or even how to use a monster core . and he barely uses his system. it's supposed to be his power why not use it ?
Tried to give this a chance, however I feel like this story has too much inspiration from Shadow Slave. This doesn’t even feel as if it has its own identity. The MC is my biggest gripe, he is a transmigrator and engineer yet I feel as if a teenager would have better decision making for development and strategy. The MC isn’t fully utilizing his OP ability and states that it is his strategy?? I started to give up on the story when in the mountain cave he didn’t even think to use his clone to level up his talent by sending it down the mountain to fight easy monsters when he was less than 30 talents away from evolving. The timing was also strange considering the MC ‘lost’ himself in war and was fighting constant battles for an undisclosed amount of time. Yet he didn’t level up and only managed to increase his talents by 900?? Even if he only led 20 campaigns after Night Terror, he couldn’t kill more than 45 monsters per war campaign? As a general? Describing his fights as if he was going through them like a hot knife through butter. It just doesn’t make sense. Not only that but his start was also rushed and not fleshed out. He was fully conscious as an infant and did not even consider trying to build himself in any expertise or skill to give himself an edge? Standing behind your dad and being a good analyzer is the absolute freaking bare minimum, bro did not develop his body at all, he did not learn how to wield a weapon because daddy forbade it?? Nah. I love the concept but I feel it’s missing a lot of common sense logic which would make the story a better read. The descriptive words were good too, I think that was very well thought of. Keep writing and improving because you will become a better author.

I love everything about this novel and I hope this gets enough exposure 'cuz It's just that great. Everything is well thought of; The Story, The Character Development, The Fights, The World Building, and The Mystery EVERYTHING! I approve, Author-san and I hope you don't butcher this 'cuz I really really love it.
The novel starts off with overly complicated vocabulary in the first 100+ chapters, where each paragraph seems to repeat the same ideas but phrased differently. It feels like the author is just trying to reach a word count rather than advancing the plot or developing the characters meaningfully. The main character (MC) is disappointing. Despite being a transmigrator, he behaves foolishly and lacks the qualities expected of someone with such an advantage. The novel includes an antihero tag, but it would be more fitting to describe the MC as "brain dead" due to his poor decision-making and lack of initiative. There are notable similarities to the novel *Shadow Slave*. In both stories, the MCs are portrayed as weak and easily manipulated by the main female leads. The world settings and supporting characters are also strikingly similar, making the story feel unoriginal. The MC is indecisive and lacks conviction, coming across as socially awkward and unsure of himself. He fails to recognize when to assert himself and when to be strategic. The author has done a poor job of portraying his character, leading the novel to feel more like a drama rather than an engaging story. Overall, the novel falls short in character development and originality, and its execution leaves much to be desired.

bloated. so many words to convey so less. it's better than most of the trash here. It keeps going on and on and the story barely moves forward. Reading this feels like a chore
Started off decent. Had a lil bit too close of a semblance to shadow slave but eh. Went down hill when author started padding chapter with fancy words and dragging things for chapters. MC showed no, to negative development of growth. Keeps saying he’ll try and author claims he’s trying to make mc realistic -_- maybe to you bud but some of us do what we say, especially if you consider MC is a reincarnator and should be mentally mature(cuz he was an adult in a modern world vs the new world) he shouldn’t need 150+ chapters just to get off his sorry butt. I tried, I really did. Authors writing isn’t horrible I just think when he tries putting his thoughts to pen, it doesn’t come out right or sum. Maybe write a less brain intensive novel like Blood Warlock, that did good for a while without all that extra jargon and ultra realistic behaviors
Unbiased review. Concept is relatively basic. Guy fell on bad times, dies, gets reincarnated as a handsome boy, becomes over powered, and author gives the boy a modest background to supplement nobles and the rich as villains into his arc. Apart from the fact that the characters name and the world are different from other stories, this isn’t anything unique I would recommend someone to read, and the lacklust writing quality isn’t anything to gloat about, either.
this is a complete ripoff of shadow slave...... if you like this book, just read shadow slave.
Do not waste your time on this. If you manage to get through the first 100 chapters and haven't given up because of the terrible middle school thesaurus writing style, then you're probably just desperate for anything and willing to suffer. Despite that, still, it's not worth it. The overall premise is good. The world building is interesting. But you'll be disappointed. Trust me, you're better off reading machine translated Chinese garbage than wasting your time on this. The author changes character personalities and events to force things to happen. That's tolerable to a point, but not with your MC. This is also one of those stories where the author forgets that the MC was an adult before reincarnatimg. It's awful writing. Awful story telling. Awful character management. Just awful. 2/10 waste of time.
Author writing is very complex,it's hard to understand Author tries to sound way to smart and uses AI to help him write this complex yet meaningless paragraph.
I take it back; this is for those who are into the 'humiliation' genre. The main character is frustratingly incompetent—he hasn't even tried to develop his talent in the first 30 chapters, despite having the necessary fragments. The author attempts to make him resemble Sunny from "Shadow Slave," but fails miserably. At least Sunny is likable and somewhat intelligent. This character lacks common sense, and I’ve heard from others that the female lead is manipulative while the main character is a simp. Additionally, the writing style contains too many grammatical errors and relies on overly grand words just to inflate the word count. This novel had potential, but it's been squandered.
A f-ing masterpiece of art. This is what this novel is. It is one of the best novels I've ever read and has been very impressive. The reviews don't do this novel justice. Trust me, don't believe these reviews. Most of them don't make any sense, and you can see that there's no constructive criticism. This is a COMPLETELY UNBIASED review and I'm not kidding. I'll address some of the reviews. I personally don't find the chapters hard to read or very difficult to understand. The novel is not dark. The first volume can be considered dark, but it sets a foundation for the main character's development and personality. Some may find it difficult to persevere but do try. I promise you won't regret it. There are no pointless or filler chapters. The main character is op af. The grammar and the writing quality are as good as they can be. There may be a few minor grammar mistakes or typos, but they won't distract you. The author has created a wonderful world with great characters. I personally love Night Terror and Mr Fluffy, who are two of the many summons the main character has. The development of the main character as a person is coming along nicely, and you can see the amount of work the author has put into the novel. You can see that the author has put a lot of thought into the power and ranking system for the Drifters and Monsters. The author is improving daily and you can see that reflected in the latest volume. This novel should easily have been in the top 10. I'm sad it's not getting the recognition it deserves. The author is also very active and tries to respond to everyone. You can also join the Discord server. If you want to read a novel with an overpowered anti-hero, great world-building and people who are tired of the harem genre, this is it. PS: Author-sama, please take this to the end. We support you wholeheartedly.
at first it was nice and enjoying. it just turn dark and hard to read. Not sure what level of reading conprehention need to understand it. well love the MC and his adopted family. what trigger me is the other characterd. annoying and lunatic.i felt if everybody MC encounter are all villains? or good the guys are all crazy?what kind of school allow their principal which unstable and will to send kids to dead with 99.99% of death in a mission. major turn off. good luck author ,this nice novel just not my cup of tea. this giving me headaches and heartbreak poor mc🤣🤣🤣.
MC is stupid even after getting betrayed by his women. He was discarded like a trash in his first life. I can't understand why MC believes that she will just give him ship. He didn't learn anything after going through hell in last life and this life. MC is naive and stupid even now.
In the starting it is pretty good, after some time like every other novel MC is like women, women, women, women like only thing she is beautiful and doesn't have a spine of his own to accomplish his own ambitions and complaining about everything that happens even after having super powerful gold finger
This novel has so much potential, but the author kinda ruined it because so many things don’t make sense. First, in the early chapters, why didn’t the MC’s parents teach him anything, even though they knew the world was very dangerous?even though there are explanation for this but tbh is still don't make sense, Second, when he became a sage and could potentially defeat a paragon, he was somehow scared of someone weaker than him (academy arc). There are many more issues that I can’t write in this section. The worst part is the author’s inconsistent upload schedule and the constant dragging of the plot with clickbait titles. I hope the author can fix these issues, stop making excuses, and do more action. Tbh, I don’t entirely blame the author for making a novel like this because this platforms are a mess, unlike the good old days when authors genuinely had a passion for writing. Thank you.

why is the author using complex sentences when there are simpler options ❓ first of all, writing style while explaining is weird which becomes harder with the author's choice of words. Author does not know how to end a topic. He or she just moves on with the next topic. i really don't like this way of writing
