Description

I was brought into a world and dragged downwards to the bottom of the food chain.

Bottom of the food chain? Haha.

How can I be at the bottom, when my class is a cook?

I am really enjoying reading this. The MC is such an unusual character that keeps you wanting to know what will happen next and you want him to succeed despite his circumstances.

This Fiction is one of my top 10 favorite novels.Dude you just don't know how i love this fiction, the story, the characters and how much thoughts you put in them(example:MC&Suyeon), the plot twists,the madness, the feelings of hate and betrayal,that crazy humor, i just love it all! Even though it's your first story on RR you did a very good job on this novel and i can see your style got much better.BUT don't misunderstand it's not perfect (probably no story in my eyes will ever be perfect) still there are many ways to improve and i think you as an author are on the right path. So don't worry about it so much.
All in all this story is Reaper approved
with the score of 8/10!

So, let's not beat around the bush.
I like this fiction quite alot. Makes sense, since I read it all the way to the most recent chapter.
BUT! -And here it comes- The grammar is HORRENDOUS! ATROCIOUS!
AN AFRONT TO LITERATURE ALL AROUND!
Ok I might have overdone it a bit. But honestly.
The grammar is just sooooo poor...
Like, I don't know, and certainly don't care, if you are a native english speaker; BECAUSE!
As long as you don't live in a third world country and enjoy the average education you should have reached a fairly mediocre standard of english. But here's none of that.
Errors litter your writing like... like... fuck, I don't even know...
I love your story, really, but... but this? The frequent mistakes take away so much of my -and surely others- enjoyment, it's so nerve-racking!
Please, proofread your work. Seriously, do it. And if you already do then, welp, get an editor or just keep polishing your english until it's like second nature to you.

I do not really enjoy psycopathic MC stories unless they are really well done and to me this guy is a bit on the lame side. Not terrible, just not worth my time. If you are a fan of that sort of story then give this one a read. If not then you really want to avoid this one since that is ALL this story is about.

This is alright, but could use some editing. The writing needs a bit of work and you don't need to add sound effects. You could just put the MC was breathing heavily as he tried to catch his breathe. In stead of "pant pant pant." The grammar is alright and the story is okay.

honestly, i like reading this, its a good story, one of the main downsides to it though is that there is so many spelling errors. if you happen to get past that then the story is a good read, however it does get a little dark at points, but it only helps to build up the characters and story.

If not for the often forced, excessive and redundant angst, this might have been a pretty good story.
The good points of the novel are the POVs which puts light on the other character's motivations. I like the fact that the author is trying to show different perspectives but it doesn't really help the MCs case (as he just seems more of an asshole). The MC really doesn't have any endearing qualities.
Suggestions:
1. Instead of focussing of the semi-humorous and somewhat pointless (after the first time) monologue, it may be better to focus on building the MCs thought process. Of how he has come to certain conclusions - like how he has realized that Luro lied to him but still puts the blame of the original diamond team. Honestly, I feel this is way too excessive. Has he forgotten how they sacrificed their lives in the first place? (at least Junpei). But maybe that is how you want it to be.
2. Less redundancy in the POVs. I like them but often times I skip through most of it as I go through the same story again. I think you should stick to their thoughts and little description.
3. If by any chance, this story is mostly spurred by your own feelings towards something in real life. I suggest you get some therapy. I mean this in a well meaning manner (I am working on a bachelors in Psychology and only mean the best). Of course, writing the story itself can be quite cathartic but from my own experience I can assure you that therapy or even pouring your heart out to someone helps (as you've mentioned it in the story :P).
Good luck with the story.
PS: About some of the reviews. Betrayal : It isn't really that much of a betrayal. Did they really have that much choice? If they were forced to pick one of the two it's only logical to pick Junpei (if they didn't know that the other would be resurrected at the beginning - even then Junpei would be the better option for survival). Yes they could've discussed more but they were all like 17 and were being led on by the more mature evil

Skim the first 2-3 chapters to see if you think you can handle it. The writing is really bad. It's the classic "Tries to be funny and random and failures miserably" style. If the author is interested in writing a story, they should reconsider how they present it. It really seems like the author tried to write a manga and just transcribing the dialog into a page.
Also this is LitRPG and not marked as so. Expect video game mechanics and status screens.
