Synopsis

When Rio opened his eyes, he found that he had been reborn as an extra in a novel which he finished reading just yesterday.

Moreover, he has become a student of the same battle academy, where the main plot will happen.

....

Looking at the protagonist playing with his harem, Rio shook his head and decided:

"I will steal the protagonist's chances; as for what will happen to the main plot? I don't care..."

"Why would you care about the plot of the story if your own life is miserable anyway..."

Would you like to accompany Rio on his journey and find out where his selfish stealing activities will lead him?

[NO HAREM, SELFISH MC, FAST-PACED, DIABETIC ROMANCE!]

....

    So, here's the author's shameless review, in short, the world-building in the novel is based on a modern world with awakened people our mc transmigrates into this world and becomes an extra. I will do my best to ensure that a regular update is done🤔. Thank you🙂

    Instant 5* can't believe I came upon this gem when I'm on my way to FL novels. Mc is selfish but caring toward his loved ones. If you are tired of harem novels (like I am) this novel is for you. The romance is progress very quickly so you don't need to wait 100+ chapters, best thing in this novel is that they also show side character relationships (I know some harem novels have that too but they always end up being overshadowed by Mc and his harem). Ps:I'm bad at reviews, anyway xD do your best author!! I absolutely love this novel and I hope you will continue until the very end (I'll be here with you 😊)

    The blurb is a lie. Rio is not the main character, Link is. The favoritism is so blatant and for some odd reason, the author seems confused that we call him out on it. I will say that he has done a fantastic job of making Rio an extra not only in the novel world but also his reincarnated one as well. I would say the author is cooking something extraordinary for Rio, but I no longer trust him. I was astonished he won at the competition, though I side eye him that he only did that so the readers don’t stage a mass protest. Grammar leaves a lot to be desired, the earlier chapters are atrocious and I urge the author to edit those chapters. This is a character driven book so 6/5 for bringing so many characters to life. World building is great and the romance is cute without being full of dramatic misunderstandings. Despite my frustration with Rio always getting the short end of the stick and Link being the real Mc, I do like the novel and can’t wait to see how the story develops. One particular plot I’m waiting on is Kira, I have my suspicions about her so I can’t wait to see if I’m right. If you can get past the grammar, I believe you will find the novel enjoyable. Good job author.

    I tried to read this book till chapter 23. And here i am now to write a review about it. It's not bad. But it's not good either. If you have some free time and don't know what to do of it , that book might be a good choice. Here are the pros: - Logic is applied here and things are explained very well( tanks so much! That's something lacking in so much books on this app.) - The Mc is not hot-headed or arrogant and is good at studies. - The Mc is rather powerful ** If you don't like "the strong acting weak" kind of Mc , this is not for you( don't know if it will change in the future though) Now , for the cons: Overall, this book is boring. It is mostly the case because the MC himself is not entertaining. We don't know much about his past , we don't know if the previous owner of his new body had friends , he doesn't suffer much in fights , doesn't interact much with other characters, doesn't have an ambition of wolrd domination or anything else than " living a peaceful life"... it's like he is really an EXTRA whose adventure we are following. What i mean is, even Fade( book mc's) internal thoughts were more entertaining than his. I even surprised myself enjoying more chapters focusing on other characters' lives than chapters focused on him, which are honestly so bland. I never see him train yet he always wins without breaking a sweat , he says he is really selfish and doesn't care about the plot( which he should care for a little bit at least, as a minor change can cause world ending catastrophes), and he seems to consider Fade as... his only true menace? What really killed it for me was how he fell in love with Lia after only minor interactions. On the other side , characters such as Lia and Fade are rather well-built. And that's why i'm so surprised that the author failed at creating an interesting protagonist. A part from character development, another problem is the writing quality. I do not feel any fear or tension in the story at all( from its beginning to the 23rd chapter). Some events differed from the book but they are either not that impactful( Lia's change in behaviour) or not introduced or resolved in a way that will make us think" Oh! That seems dangerous. Mc gotta be careful!" ( octopus attacks). It's good that a Mc doesn't focus on following the original plot no matter what. However , when he/she realises that a changement is harmful, he/she should be shown as preoccupied by the developpement of the situation a bit more . Here i only see him "steal" Fade's original opportunities, but never do i tell myself that" the situation is serious. The Mc really needs X item now."This is due to the fact that eventhough we don't know about "fragments" and the person(s) who is( are) targeting the Mc , this mystery is treated in a way that makes it appear as trivial. Other than that , the grammar is a mess( too many errors) , the book is fast paced , inconsistent, and the fighting scenes are not that good. Now , onto the story developement. It's like the author doesn't have a clear idea about how the book should progress.( e.g: The poll to know which reward the Mc would get at the wishing lake ) Plus , up til chapter 23 , i don't see any stakes( for now i consider Fade as the sole antagonist). I don't really sense the impact of students' death on other students, the feelings that come with killing for the first time( i'm talking about the mc) even if it is a monster, nor the consequences on the school . And nothing is a real challenge for the Mc. Heck, even the original novel's end has never been talked about( the final bosses, how it unfolded ...). Overall, i can describe the story as a boat transporting statues( the characters) to an unknown port , without going trough as much as a rain. What about updating quality and world background now? It's not that glorious either. The updates are slow and the world hasn't been explored much now . But the only things that have been shown are quite appreciable( the fact that the strongest individuals are ss-rank , unlike other novels where ranks continue to increase).

    i am giving an honest review , i know you have got inspiration from other novels but in other novels it was not blunt as your novel 1st chapter , atleast there should be emotions and all , in the novel mc got pain and he said 'argh just like that half an hour pass ..... after 2nd flaw - when you write you suddenly changed the perspective like 1st to 3rd pov it so sudden that it becomes annoying ......like from 'I' to 'He' and after he suddenly become a serene and calm as he was not got to surreal pain at least there should be some emotions man , it's like blunt - yeah i got transmigration yeah ... is it real ..oh yeah ... and also this he also know he is an 'extra' what does extra means in this .....i got it means side character but what does it sudden i am extra then i will steal the hero things or artifacts etc.etc.....i got this it it's too blunt at least edit your 1st chapter to get proper reading atleast ..if you don't like my opinion you can delete it but yeah you should read first your 1st chapter in reader perspective or read other novel where you got inspired ...

    Although the idea originates from other similar novels. But it has its unique story. Instead of helping the original protagonist or making the original protagonist talented. This novels starts with the original hero as a weak person. An interesting read. Looking forward to the updates.

    I will start with the good then the bad. ------------ Good: A very entertaining read. I enjoyed the story all the way. I would recommend anyone thinking of reading this to give it a try. I won't go too much into why it's good, just read other reviews for that. --------------- Bad: There are mainly 4 problems with this story: 1- Author had no vision for how the story would turn out and the process, only the concept/premise at the start was deliberate. This style of going impromptu and seeing where this goes without setting any short term goals nor long term goals for the story just makes it hollow. Author is following the whims of readers, If readers wanted skill he'll give skill. Problem here is that this causes plot holes and author has to add author notes to explain them and then along the chapters more plot holes appear and author again gives plausible explanations and we fall into a rabbit hole. Events or things that happened in past chapters aren't properly remembered in future chapters by auther. In future chapters when it's mentioned that this event happened, if you go back to that event then you find that it's wrong. Author didn't remember it right, so these future chapters will be built on a false memory. 2- Author thoughts and pauses to story throughout chapters. You can tell author is new to writing since author has to explain in brackets why things happen and gives info dumps regularly, author didn't set the rules of the world beforehand, so he comes up with plausible explanations for world rules or events as the story goes. Honestly it just takes me out of the immersion in the story. 3- Characters have bad character design. Only Lia and Riya stayed true to their design, but others not so. How? At the start, every character is shown with his personality clear, an arrogant guy, a narcissist guy, an emotionless guy, a sadistic guy, and so on. The problem comes when we progress in the story, without any gradual changes, they suddenly display weird characteristics and everyone acts as if they were like that from the start. and don't tell me that's love working its magic. Love influences but doesn't change the core personality of someone. especially when that love was there long before the changes, for example, A sadistic guy that's used to being at the top of the world with everyone respecting him like the king that didn't talk much suddenly is a meathead and acts like a puppy and doesn't mind others not respecting him, If it's gradual then I'd understand, but it happened in one chapter. Same goes for Liam, he was the quiet type and smart and calculating, but then suddenly he teases and says stuff only friends of years would say. It just feels author is making them all turn out to be that silly friend group with no prior indication, these changes happen suddenly. No character development. just some lines explain that, like "you've already told me that more than 50 times in our last few hangouts", the process of a character changing is important, but we don't get to see that. 4- Author forgot the purpose of this story, we rarely see MC as extra and the protagonist is left unlucky and forgotten. Now MC is a bonafide Protagonist, he's the center of the world, I don't mind that, but what I do mind is breaking the premise that the original protagonist has the heavens luck by his side but is trash, he's now rarely seen and when seen he's got nothing, no harem and no power. don't say MC stole his powers, protagonist has exp based system where he can power up without other cheats. 5- Author feels to me like a weeb that lived watching anime and is writing based on his knowledge from anime, so myth, facts, historical events, character traits and personalities are built upon the cliche from anime. Same is happening here, it feels like characters are based on fictional friend groups (like avengers) they joke around mid fight and are childish while they are mid fight, this only happens in anime or marvel movies to add comedy with light hearted banter. Romance just just feels skewed, all the relationships I see here are built on banter. Guy teases girl, girl gets mad but blush. While it's sweet and wholesome reading the scenes, it gets tiring when all relationships here are built on banter.

    Pretty much a gem of a novel. EVERYTHING IS PERFECT. Whatver you think a villian would do is here with all those cute scenes. The one problem is the updates.. I read the 87th chapter 9 months ago and we are closing on the 107th chapter this month. This amazing novel should not be ruined like this. Its way better than thos face slapping mf cuz this is the real deal. Its a 4.2 from me.
