This novel was struck by the curse of the failure rabbit. It was quite good until the female love interest became a harem in training. Then all the interesting bits was buried under a pile of boring and the novel died. Dropped as of chapter 80. Thanks for about 30 good chapters Mr. Author. I might check back in 6 months or so to see what happens.

Id like to start off by saying that the concept behind the novel has alot of potential, four races create a vr mmorpg where participation is somewhat mandatory after a certain age and most conflicts are settled in game rather than real life. However none of the important parts of the novel are explained such as why his parents dont help him out when hes just starting out or play with him at all and why his school is so loose with rules/regulations regarding the game when they dont teach anything else, how he manages to find a legacy item somewhere that hundreds if not thousands of people visit regularly for years, the small amount of classes even though the game has been running for hundreds of years, the company/ people behind the game i dont think was mentioned and they have not become a huge super power even though they built something so important, why three women who are 7-9 years older than him fall in love ludicrously fast, why he gains a huge amount of money but hides it for fear of the government coming after him instead of using it for his family, why a 16 year old kid doesnt act like one when hes had a relatively normal upbringing and doesnt have any actual issues and one the author claims to be shy and introverted doesnt behave that way half the time, why the MC has actually no friends not even close acquaintances even though he has lived for 16 years, why people treat NPC’s like dirt even though being courteous at least leads to more opportunities and quests even after hundreds of years of the game being around, how the MC seems stronger than average characters even though he hasnt put any points into stats (before he gets his wolf partner), why the “CLASS” quest that he gets requires him to run all over the game world before getting ANY ability or even the class name, the authors fetish with black cloaks and the way he introduces them, why does the MC need to keep everything a secret when the major powers offered him benefits in exchange and the did so somewhat respectfully instead of chasing him down and killing him to level one, why he bought a mask if he doesnt take off the cloak around people except his harem and NPC’s. I have a lot more things i could add but i already passed 2k characters so ill end it there, but please get an editor and translator, everytime i read a novel like this i cant help but feel it would be at least 2x as good in the native language of the author and a “rough” translation to english brings the story down.

Feels like beginner writers first story. Well I do hope the author develops his writing and gets better. A lot of the game backround feels similar to some popular mmorg books. If you really like game books you may try to read it thow. Just some points why I droped it: Real world itself makes no sense. Mc feels like robot (just motions no feeling). The bad guys are morons as in arrogant characters with no brains. The game has been there 100 years and no one has discovered that you should act nice with npc to get quests?
This is my first review so forgive my inexperience. To begin let's talk about the world background. After years of fighting against each other, the four great races (Humans, Orcs, Light Elves, and Dark Elves) decided that instead of destroying the world in their wars, they would create a pact. This pact restricts wars between the four races in the real world, moving their battlefield to the virtual world. They created a game called "Project: Unknown" to host these battles. Our MC has just turned 16, which is the age humans are initiated to play "Project: Unknown". Background reminds me of a book called "Insignia". So far, I haven't really come across any big problems in terms of the story, albeit we are only seven chapters in. The MC hasn't been shown to be a skilled fighter (Hasn't been in any combat yet, though he did spend a little over a month learning to use all beginner weapons against wooden dummies), nor has he been shown to be a great tactician. He has however, been shown to have great patience, he spent a month practicing with the beginner weapons, and then worked in a mine for a little over two-weeks. (1.5 - 2 months of play and he's still at level 1) The only problem I would say I have with this novel would be the grammar. To me the grammar isn't too big a problem since you can still get the intended meaning from the lines, sometimes you might even get a good laugh out of the mistakes. I feel like this novel can be a good read so I'm going to stick with it for now and see where it goes.
Your story Backgound is interesting but it was not really writen much after the intro and i fand this the best part of your story. Writing quality is bad, you can read the story but to many gramar fault but the greteatst BS is your characters in the story. To many bad cliches. lack of consistency and logic, when i have read the story i was thinking are all persons in the game idiots or 5 year old children?
Honest Review The Good: Love the background of this! Nothing very new, but still different than a standard video game novel. I also like it that it doesn't have any reincarnation or some other cheat system like so many on here do. The Bad: MC started out good, but he suddenly went dumb around chapter 44... The women swoon over the MC waaay to easily, the plot convenience is very strong in this, like how does he happen to find a legacy item when the hundreds of thousands before him missed it? The gaming system itself needs improvement, it feels like the author doesn't have much experience with gaming. This isn't a bad thing, but going 4 months without even getting one level is a little much. Lastly, premium chapters so soon is terrible... It's not hard to tell this is someone's first novel and charging SS for it is a bit shameless. We may love those kinds of characters in novels, but not in real life.
Unless you want to read a story full of loopholes with no basic concept and A author that doesn't give a s*** about details and just shove the story up your face which half of it doesn't make sense this is not the story for you I can go on and say all about the stupidity of the design of the game backgrounds the stupid ass quests that makes s*** for sense all the events that happened around the character the leveling system the quest rewards in the crazy s*** that happens around the protagonist when he is level one are you ****ing me this story has been nothing but a waste of my time and yours if you're interested in reading it this is my advice for you take it or leave it (you have been warned)
I'm going to be real, I would love to read this novel, but the webnovel logo int he bottom left tells me this is sponsored by them and therefore later in the story we are going to get ss blocked from chapters so i'm not going to waste my time.
Full of plotholes. MC discovered a hidden quest that billions of others did not over a century. This quest was in plain site. I mean, look at all the speedrun of any games out there, people find out everything. Novel story drop terribly when the story moved into being a harem. It's basically him finding more girls to bang. Girls that fall for him are one dimensional. Follows the "he's nice to me, he seem confident and powerful" trope. When I said bang, I wasn't exaggerating.

This is the first time I write a review for a novel on this website. I really like the novel but decide to drop it after the chapter MC meet with the woman character. The woman character in this novel pretty much ****ed up the whole novel development.
This is absolute garbage it wants to be a harem but it is such a freaking garbage harem burying an interesting story underneath this is just sad
Though story had potential.....I was wrong. Basically turned into a harem erotica, what little good the story had died after about 30 chaps.

So no spoilers. This book so far as I have read which is to Chapter 20. I know it is not a lot the translation seems to be machined or the person who translate does not understand English needs to be edited bad. You can get the gist of what is going on. The overall story is not horrible but the MC plot armor is super thick everything just happens no build up or accident. I think it was suppose to be accidental but if so the author or translater all failed that. Otherwise I would at least give this a shot for the free chaps and if you like it keep going. For me till this thing is edited to make sense I am done.
Perfect so far I just hope this doesn't get dropped, it really pulled me in and made me feel attached. It truly is a great novel in the making
I need more, why you just release2 chapter in one week, why, i need more we need more . And Why we need one hundred forty to just write review
This nobel... I felt it has lot of potential.... In the beginning it was quite good... But after 50 chaps... Many things have no logic or common sense.... Grammer mistakes....
While the author had an interesting concept, it is quickly lost in a pile of bad cliches. This could be forgiven if not for the poor writing and complete lack of consistency.

The character has no backbone, couldn't even refuse a simple request from a girl. Disappointment. I like the idea of the story, but the characters are just bad. Forced and emotionless. Also, the MC is cowardly and dense. Not being able to connect any information. It was clearly forced for the plot. Ultimately I'm dropping the story because of the MC's lack of strong will to oppose others and terrible character development. Which resulted in a bad MC.
I just want to say that your intro and starting of the novel was great and all until you reach chapter 44 ..the mc meets a girl and becomes flipping retarded by giving in to a girl just because she is pretty...the mc was just about to get op but noooooo! The freaking author just had to ruin it by doing this crappy character development. Manipulative, and controlling females? Not my cup of tea. Sorry but im dropping this novel. Was great while it lasted.
