Description

Arc Book 1 onKindle Unlimited

Through hellish training, Arc became a hero — reaching the pinnacle of strength in the world of Arlas.

Arc was an ordinary young woman from Earth when she was summoned to an icy hell where she fought for her survival in the name of training to become a hero.

Now, after defeating the Overlord itself and achieving the status of hero, she leaves with the goal to enjoy her freedom. Arriving at Arlas, a fantasy world with magic and monsters, a world with numbers, Tiers, and Classes. A world governed by the System that summoned her. But she is not alone, there are other heroes, masters of their element, warped individuals that too have escaped their own hell. And they have their own agenda, from taking over the world to even killing other heroes.

But Arc isn’t any hero, she’s the one that mastered the element of frost: the element of ice that can even freeze the sense of time itself. And when confronted with an incomprehensible task of broken letters — to fulfill her duties as a hero for the broken System — she makes her decision.

To live a normal life, fight whoever comes her way, and ignore whatever the delusional System says. As for the heroes? She will fight them too if they dare to stand in her way

A delightful read. It’s well written fast paced but engaging and riveting throughout. Characters are compelling and it’s a fun take on the OP mc trope.
I would recommend if you like well written action, and interesting world, and a funny but intense MC.
Although the MC is OP there is still challenge and things that the MC must overcome with more than just brute strength and plot armour.

The story is great, I love the MC. Daily updates are great too! Quality is excellent, despite fast updates. The MC is very OP right from the beginning, but still encounters challenges. Also, dragons!
Many people hate on the author, but it is a great book. If you don't like something, just don't read it. Don't leave hate.

I love the story, everything about it, something it does frustrate me, but in a good sense, like it was intended to do so. I love all the characters, all of them are really well written, especially Arc, I can see why so many people like and dislike her, she has that personality, it is not a completely good personality, but it's hers.

Most people would say chaotic neutral is chaotic stupid, since many a chaotic neutral character in a D&D game will die early on due to poor or impulsive decisions. The heroine in this story is straight up chaotic neutral, but she’s OP enough to avoid dying due to her own antics. The hellish and insane hero tutorial, changed her in both body and mind.
The world itself is brain damaged. People do things that they normally wouldn’t ever consider doing. The reason is a mystery at first, but at the end of book 1 we’ve started getting an idea at the reason behind the insanity.
I’ve seen plenty of people mention that the characters in this story are not well written, I’d argue they are well written and there is a reason for everyone acting the way they are. Whether or not I’m correct remains to be seen.
Regardless, this story is all over the place in the beginning but I’m enjoying it. The best way to read this story is to turn off your brain and enjoy the ride!

A very interesting story storyline and I very much enjoy how they were transported to the new planet, but they actually make friends unlike other isekai books I read similar to this where the MC doesn’t make friends which makes it a great read and the affinity of frost seems cooler than an affinity of ice.

Arc is a great series, currently consisting of three great books. The humor is well placed, and it had a good build up of power scaling. Unlike some series, where the MC is either, the strongest existence aside from reality and plot relevance (the true gods in world building). Or, the weakest shmuck that got picked up off the street. its a, yes originally, a pretty standard College/Uni Lass that can barely beet up a dog, and by the end obliterates a dragon (in her tutorial) this section, is blissfully short. some series spend fifty to an entire book on just the tutorial, if done well is engaging, usually, agony, this is not one of those.
Once Arc arrives on Vir, this is wen the narrative really get's into gear and eminently having the "System" the usual narrative guiding force in these stories be broken does one of two things, it leaves Arc pretty much stranded and forcing her explore the world on her own, as we as reader's are, a cleaver move by the author to connect the main character.
we are also told and shown really early on how powerful Arc is and her apathy was actually really nice for me to see, because, we sometimes see that main characters typically, gain great power and then play out the whole "great power comes with great responsibility" narrative which grating. we are also shown that she is a battle junky, an interesting personality combination actually, but she just shifts back really quickly once she has had enough fun or experimented enough, which you can feel as a reader. Fight scenes can sometimes drawl on with the antagonist or protagonist pulls random stuff out of nowhere with no prior reason for why they have that item/ability. there's pretty much none of that here.
The character development of Arc is her becoming less... cold/apathetic. At least towards Cylon (sorry if I misspelt), every one else, no, not really.
Arc isn't all powerful, not even at the end of book three, but there is only one person stronger, and it is very obvious that that wi

Personally, I find the story to be overall enjoying, and it is exactly as the title suggest, an OP main character. The system tutorial was certainly hellish for the main character, while also pushing her to her limits to grow to a level of a calamity class hero. The wider world is still being built as I read the story, but overall pretty enjoyable, and the side character seems nice enough so far. Overall, I would say it’s a enjoyable, read, and a fun way to pass the time.

I loved this story right until the end.
For some unknown reason, the MC goes psychotic and seemingly breaks from how she was throughout the story. I don't get it and no explanation is offered.
I'm genuinely not sure I want to read the second book if that's the MC I have to follow.

It's a fun read, but could very much stand to benefit from another pass through editors or proofreaders. There are large sections of the story where the quality dips drastically. The main areas I'd focus a revision around, personally, are clarity and dialogue. Things like improper commas, confusing sentences, and very unnatural dialogue have drawn me out on more than one occasion.
However, if these things don't bother you or if you're interested in another OP isekai story, I do recommend giving the story a shot. It's not heavy on numbers or stats at all, with the only system-related number values I can remember being levels. The story also uses classes and 'heroes' as a very central plot point, so there's more lit than rpg, which I do enjoy.
Review too long, I'm rambling. Have good day, will likely revise this in a few months.
If that doesn't bother you too much and you're able to mentally insert necessary commas as you read, I recommend giving it a shot.

All below are my honest opinions,
This feels like it would be better as a manga / comic strip story rather than a text story.
It's an entertaining story much like how all op Isekai litrpg start but its quickly losing my attention, call it fatigue. At this point I've read so many op litrpg stories that I've grown numb, which is a shame because they almost all have great hooks but fail to deliver time and time again or they forget their identity.
Honestly speaking there's nothing unique about this one, Arcs character is static and unwavering, almost like she was a blank before the trial. And being op is her character and personality defining trait.
This is just a fine story, not amazing and certainly not memorable.
