Webnovel Author: ExamPL3 - Novel Collection

Translation quality- The translation quality is quite good but there are some problems with the name for realms switching for a few chapters and the fact that some characters are not properly gendered as the translation switches from she to he. Even so, it is understandable and doesn’t majorly disrupt the reading experience. Updating Stability-The author posts at least a chapter a day and is consistent. Story Development-The novel has a lot of time skips and focuses more on the development of the clan rather than the adventures of the main character. I think it’s quite good as it shows what’s going on and leads properly into time skips. It also makes it more realistic. I do wish that there was more time spent on characters but that is likely a result of the rapid movement of the clan. Overall, very good if you can handle frequent time skips and a focus on wholistic story development. Character Design- The characters are quite good in having some uniqueness and differences but we really don’t get enough time with them to be able to tell how deep they truly are. World Background- The world is designed and portrayed well with a focus on sects and regions of power. The view of the world changes as the clan grows stronger and moves to more challenging areas. Same with this, I would like more time spent on diving into the depths of each area. Even so, each area is unique and has the main character unlocking new and unique things. Overall, don’t expect a masterpiece in character design and worldbuilding, but also realize that the world is very good for what we see of it and that there is still time for the novel to slow down and focus on characters or places. Just be prepared for rapid change. I hope you enjoyed my review. 😁

The story takes place in a world that has some game like functions but has so far been connected to reality. Many who played it died. Also, people are stuck in the game and it becomes a new world and life for them. I’d say it resembles a real world with some game elements. I hope that answers your question.

I’m reviewing this book after reading up to chapter 59. As many have pointed out, there are some similarities to Second Life Ranker in the story and setting. It seems to be quite inspired by it but, it has its own unique world and way of the telling the story. As long as you can get past the similarities, you will be in for a fun read. But now for the more in depth review. Warning. There will be some spoilers for the first 50 chapters so read with your own discretion. Updates- I binge read this novel within a night but it seems that there was some sort of gap between the first spurt of chapters and the most recent chapters. To me, this isn’t that big of a deal. The author likely took a break, for whatever reasons of his own. Besides that, he updates 7 or more chapters a week and seems to be dedicated to the novel. Grammar- Grammar is a make or break for many readers as the book can be unbearable to read and will just annoy them. Luckily, this novel has no such problems and has good grammar. Although I wouldn’t say that every comma is proper or that every clause is properly separated, the grammar is nearly perfect. Characters- There are some tropes with the characters such as the dead parents, missing brother, and kind old man, but they don’t drag on and aren’t annoyingly basic or by the book. Each character has some unique traits to them and have real life aspects. They are driven and work with the reality and logic of the real world. The MC himself is also quite well developed so far. He starts out very calm but damaged and we see that damage grow and change into a desire and penchant for vengeance. The growth path so far has been very logical, even if others believe it to be a bit generic. Overall, the characters are logical and reasonably react with the world around them while changing and growing along the way. Story- The story has a somewhat unique transfer from real life to game as the MC and others reach a new realm called Hellfire. They get unique skills and each enter the world through the apps on their phone. The character goes through trials in this new world that beget a tutorial. This is pretty common but well executed and not drawn out. I won’t go into anymore detail though, as I believe it would truly spoil the experience. Just read the first 50 chapters and you’ll know if you like the novel. Overview- This novel has serious potential to reach the top 50 as long as the updates are continuous, the story stays logical, and the plot doesn’t begin to copy Second Life Ranker. The overall good grammar, logical characters, and deep worldbuilding shows great potential. Overall, I would seriously recommend this book to anyone that likes a revenge story or someone who loves the video game type of power system. Give it the first 50 chapters, and you should be able to set aside the book with confidence or speed read it with your blood pumping through your veins. *This is one of my first reviews so forgive the formatting and the fact that I might have left some more detailed categories out. Due to the amount of chapters and possibility for serious spoilers, I decided to keep the review at this. I hope this gives you an idea of whether or not this book is for you.*

The tone is very dark at first but is executed well and feels natural. In just two chapters, the author made me feel connected to the MC and his struggles. Before I knew it, I found myself rooting for him. As long as he keeps uploading, the book will definitely become a gem.

Thanks for reading the book and making a review. I hope you enjoyed it. Rest assured, kingdom building will be an integral part of the novel.

The writing is great and the author is able to execute the dual perspectives without making the story feel disjointed. I truly felt connected to the characters, even with the little amount of chapters currently available. The common struggles and feelings of a homosexual couple were masterfully executed and expanded upon. I really think that even if the tags don’t interest you, you should just read the first seven chapters. Prepare to be blown away.

Thanks for the review. It’s people like you who help us authors see the imperfections and mistakes we often overlook or don’t see. I hope you enjoyed the book.
