Synopsis
Bored of the limitless life their immortality granted them, the great powers of the universe searched high and low for more ways to make their lives more thrilling, eventually coming across a specific hobby on Earth.
Speedrunning.
With their twisted minds, they expanded upon this idea to make it far more thrilling than before, speedrunning through literal lives in order to achieve certain goals one would have in their life in the shortest time. Unexpectedly, many beings found the idea interesting and supported it, birthing the most ludicrous type of entertainment in the universe, the Worldrunners.
Corius, a rookie Worldrunner, was sick and tired of aiming for the simpler achievements, seeing his name pushed down the ranks every second. Instead, he wanted his name to be renowned throughout the universe. And so, he joined many others in vying for the top spot at the Immortality% record, thinking it would be a piece of cake.
Of course, it was anything but.

one of the best ideas for a novel I have seen yet, for now great execution but I'll need more chapters before deciding that.
The concept is interesting. I hope the flow of the story will not get boring in the following chapters thou. Everything is good and refreshing but when will it get another chapter? I cant get enough of this.
One of the main premises is pretty used, a civilization that can live multiple lives. Everything else though, like achievements, speedrunning, and most of it is for entertainment and fame, it's all new and refreshing. It is super amazing, might even reinvent the genre.
Solid ten for punctuations! I really have problems with that aspect and I've rarely seen authors who have nailed that fact either. The writing quality is 4.5 for me and I know the book is just starting but most of the MC's characteristics were vague. We want a trait to use to label him specifically so we'll keep our eyes peeled while awaiting each new chapter. The planning of the world background is really cool, especially since he transmigrated to a place like earth. I think the world runner places or should I say planet names are well thought of. It takes a while to be able to come up with something that good. So the character design is what I can say needs more work
Writing quality is decent, stability of updates is.. somewhat stable, I guess. Now here's the most important part, the concept is unique, truly one of a kind and story development is going well. As for comedy, there's not much but you'll find a couple of chapters you'll have a laugh. Character design, the MC is just another typical mc but it's fine. As for world background, it's somewhat unique for a story situated on earth. Overall, it's a breath of fresh air.
Since the main character has already gone through his first reincarnation, I think now's the best time to give everyone a better idea of what the story is going to be like. So, the novel is basically dudes who speedrun through various goals on various planets. Our main character, Corius, chose to attempt Immortality% on our lovely planet Earth. Through there, he'll slowly learn how to become a better Worldrunner, eventually becoming one of the greats, just like what he wished to achieve for so long. Of course, the road he'll go through to reach that point won't be easy, but I'll make sure it's a satisfying read. If you want something refreshing and are looking to read progression type stories with a twist to them, then this novel is the one for you.
