I've only read a bit so far but I'm really enjoying it. It's got great grammer, likable characters, a decent setting, and competent story telling. One of my biggest problems with a lot of stories on this site is the lack grammar and proper English (not that im good at grammer but you know how bad it can get here). This novel doesn't have that problem as almost everything is written well and feels natural. The characters and story aren't the best I've seen, but both are still quite interesting and fun to read about. I find the hymes to be a bit cheesy, but otherwise they are done well and don't take me out of the story like I thought they would. I do have some small criticisms though. The first is that, despite the rhymes being fine, the seemingly random rhymes scattered throughout the dialogue and narration can feel disruptive. It doesn't make much sense to me to create rhymes during common dialogue and narration which seems to serve no purpose. It just takes me out of the story and makes it feel Dr.Seuess'ish for lack of a better word. The 2nd minor problem I have is the lack of a defined power system. Most novels have a certain systematic approach to getting stronger. Whether it be circles, dantians, or leveling through exp, there is a process that gradually evolves over time as the character gains strength with each realm leading to obvious changes in skills, physique, martial arts, laws, etc. There are realms of strength in this novel but seemingly no description of how they get stronger or any defining characteristics of each realm. The only difference between each realm seems to be their destructive power. This leads the power system to feel rather lackluster and the action kind of lacking. Thankfully, this novel has pretty intriguing story development and above average characters so the story doesn't get boring. The world seems a bit one dimensional so far, but I'm also not very far into the story and the MC hasn't explored much so I'm hoping it gets better I know it seems like I've been very negative but I've seen a lot of positive reviews, rightfully so, but not a lot of comments addressing the negative areas I've highlighted. I'm not an expert with an english major or something so maybe I'm the only one who feels this way, but I still feel like there is merit to expressing my concerns as well as praise. Still a good read so far and I suggest at least checking it out.

One of my favorite novels on the site. I love the thought of the Mc bringing the internet as well as all kinds of movies, TV shows, video games. And other forms of entertainment to another world. It doesn't take itself too seriously either and is just a great time. However, unfortunately the translation quality has dropped significantly from the old translation, a trend I've seen often on this site in other novels like, The Boss Behind the Game (iirc). While it is still readable, the experience is greatly hampered by the bad translation quality. That being said I'm not sure what to think. On one hand I would take this translation over it not being translated at all. On the other hand, I wish it wasn't picked it so that a really good translator could pick it up in the future which possible will never happen.

Great novel. If you like novels with a shop like system like Black Tech Internet Cafe or Gourmet in AnotherWorld, then I highly suggest giving it a shot.

I don't see why some of the people here think its so bad to not want the MC of a story they are reading to be racist? Just because someone doesn't want the protagonist to be racist doesn't mean they are soft or easily offended. It just means they don't like it when the protagonist is a racist PoS. I don't think that's a take that should be so controversial. Also your comparison isn't completely accurate imo. Murder within movies, novels, etc. have become so common that we don't even really blink when it happens nor do we ever assume the author/director desires murder irl. However, stuff like politics and racism are often seen as more of an indication of the author own thoughts. To your point, I do agree that allot of people have become overly sensitive to these topics, especially in media that have political messages, but most novels like this one aren't subtle nor are they tasteful in their portrayal of sensitive topics. You can't blame people for not enjoying it when the author has an obvious agenda that they shove in your face in such a distasteful way.

I think you are right. I may come back to the novel in the future when he's freed himself and binge a bunch of chapters at a time, but for now its a bit frustrating to read for reasons mentioned. It's like, I logically know that he will probably free himself in the future, but emotionally I still can't help but feel frustrated when reading and that's not what I want to feel while reading.

I don't know why the author keeps doing this but they love to drop multiple chapters of dialog at a time. Often times the mc will have a debate on subjects like good vs evil or the rich vs the poor. These debates not only last multiple chapters but have also been repeated multiple times. No one wants to listen to the mc debate for that long, let alone re debate the same topics over and over. It completely ruins the flow of the story and I sit there rolling my eyes at the excruciatingly long philosophical debate that tries to be as deep as possible but just comes across as word padding.

For some reason the spaces between paragraphs didn't show up in my review. Sorry.

Awesome. Really liked all the above mentioned. Will definitely give the novel a read.

Hey just curious but does this novel take inspiration from the Witch Hunter manhwa?

So first I want to preface my review by saying that this is definitely a great novel. It has amazing world building, a unique power system, and believable characters. However, I do have a big problem with this novel. It's not so much an objective criticism towards anything the author has written themselves, more just a personal dislike for a certain aspect in the story. *Minor Spoilers ahead* In general I really dislike it when a Mc's fate is basically out of his own hands. The mc here is, as the title implies, a slave. It's a very unique concept for an Mc and I can see many people liking the struggle of the mc walking on a tightrope where one mistake could lead to him losing his freedom. I, however, do not. I have a hard time caring about anything the Mc does when I know none of matters (in my mind). Even if he becomes some godly being, it doesn't matter when a single order from his master can end his life. Any meaningful relationships he makes can be immediately ended by the whims of his master. Where I am at in the story, he has yet to gain a master, but (assuming he will indeed have a master) I have a good idea of who it will be and I dont really like the idea of it. So you could say the story just isn't for me which is why I still gave it 4 stars as I realize the high quality of writing, despite my personal dislike for a specific element of the story.
