  This feels, very, very similar to a comic called the Latna Saga where the mc was trapped in the tutorial and couldn't level past level 5 and every time he cleared the tutorial it would reset, eventually the "administrators" fixed his tutorial and he was let out into the world proper to start his adventure for real

  Alright.
  18 chapters in.
  There's a lot to work with first.
  Let's go with Style.
  Nutsy style in terms of writing makes the words easy to read, the way he uses the tables to show information and important details to keep this at best a LITRPG. It's a good use of Royal Road's features and convenient. Another thing that makes this great is how easy this is to get into. You don't need to have so many details on everything.
  Some details are vague on purpose and it is good with how they take this story.
  Grammar wise, Nutsy is fine with a few typos here and there but the highlight of this story.
  The highlight has to be story and characters.
  Story : The story's prologue literally makes Bon out as a person who could not be bothered or care. Yet, as we progress. We start figuring out these things called Towers that suck people in and they have to do things.
  Simple premise, easy to get into. The explanation and how the story drifted from Bon just being a normal guy to ending up suffering in the story as a result of a 'Glitch' in the system.
  As the story progresses, we start to see Bon's motivation and character.
  Now, the biggest highlight. Which I feel that Nutsy executes brilliantly.
  It has to be how Bon, the main character is. Bon is believable. He's not some super badass guy that kills without hesitation. He does things to survive, in a few chapters. We read how Bon wants to survive, then the later chapters it shows how Bon has to deal with discrimination for his class. Bon just wants to get back to someone special, he's not one for glory or antics. He just does things because he can and he chooses to do so.
  Bon's risks at this point may seem lacking but Bon is one character I genuinely root for and am excited to see what he does. How he interacts with people, how he views the world. It's very entertaining. How Bon thinks or handles a situation, he doesn't do what most MCs do which is to go in and destroy everything. Bon thinks and makes decisions based on the situation.

  Using time dilation to make the MC OP isn't an original premise, but the author makes his story entertaining.  The first "arc" involves Bon experiencing a system glitch and stuck in a boss tower, where he must endure deaths to slowly increase his power.  X number of years later, Bon defeats the tower and goes straight to the normal starter tower he should have went in the first place.  At this point, the author could have gone in various directions: turn the story into a wish fulfillment where the MC swings his big D around like a champ; go hermit route and seek enlightenment; or pretend to be weak and act normal.  The last option is the most challenging, and I'm glad the author took it.  The payoff is a highly entertaining story.
  That said, I disagree with the prologue, and I feel that it detracts from the overall story.

  Just an update, yes the story needs some editing
  but i still stand by my review, i meant everything
  it's a fun tale, which will re-earn its five stars in time
  budding authors testing their knew skills is not a crime :)
  I think stuff like this is what this site is all about
  it’s so fun and full of heart, the author goes all out
  it’s a blend of genres that most people here will love
  and its quality of writing is a cut above
  The style is really witty, but it doesn’t joke too much
  the growth of characters is told with quite a subtle touch
  ethics and morality, relationships and more
  the story’s fast but these are things it takes time to explore
  There’s some POV switches near the end of arc-one
  but they add a lot of depth, and I think they’re well done
  there’s some stats and blue boxes, used sparingly and well
  which help the story flow with all the info that they tell
  The story starts within a tower, but there is a ‘bug’
  and we’re left with an op mc, who’s strong but not smug
  the main cast make some friends and enemies along the way
  without spoilers, “solid plot” is all that I can say
  They do leave the tower after twenty odd chapters
  the plot expands and there’s a lot of ground that it covers
  governments or aliens, some ancient gods and pills
  a Hendrix signed guitar which when it’s played with qi, it kills
  The characters are really where this story shines the most
  they’re complex and original, not perfect but almost
  the lead is deep and interesting, his growth is rewarding
  his moral growth keeps his OP-ness from getting boring
  The grammar is all good, and small mistakes rarely appear
  most of all, it’s smooth and tells the story loud and clear
  it’s about as good as you could ask for on this site
  rough around the edges but it’s mostly watertight
  This tale is like a love-letter to webnovel culture
  it hits all the right notes for an epic adventure
  it’s still getting started and the author might be new
  but it’s so much fun to read, I think you’ll love it too

  I just binge-read this story up to chapter 25, and was very impressed with the story so far. The characters are interesting, the story engaging, and there are no major grammar/spelling errors.
  Style is where I would say this story is weakest, though even then it isn't that weak. The story, in a few parts, seems rushed, and we don't get that much of a description of the powers.
  This is perhaps most notable when he first gains the ability to spend Skill Points. We got a whole list of spell names, but no description of what they do. This is, probably, designed to make it easier to pull out the correct spell or ability for the occasion, but it comes across as lazy writing. There does appear to be some thought into what skills are available, but I think that is more an organic list than a hard one.
  Still, I would reccomend this novel for an afternoon (or morning in this case) read, and rate it an overall 4.5/5 stars.
  Apparently advanced reviews have to be at least 200 words long, so: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

  The first few chapters are honestly pretty bad, essentially just a ton of blue boxes, and completely ignoring the MC's mental health. However the story improves once Bon reaches the tutorial proper and is able to interact with people. The writing not amazing, but it is good and delivers the dopamine from the MC winning perfectly well.

  So at the start, like a few others I had a problem with the rapid time skip leveling.
  It kind of felt like the author just got tired of that line and wanted to skip forward.
  I think that the story has improved as time goes on. (on chapter 31 now).
  At least the MC doesn't have a harem of bimbos following him around! (major bonus there!)

  ★★★ 3.0

  I only got a few chapter in, and have to say this isn't my cup of tea.
  While the character says that so many hours have passed, the reader never gets any real sense of time or flow for the story.
  The character spends a lot of time on some things, even to the point of starving to death, and yet we get to experience nothing of that. He spent 15 years playing the guitar in the safe zone, apparently without stopping to rest, eat, talk, or shit. Which means that he probably died every three days or so since he never stopped for water.
  With so much time dilation I understand not having us slog through all of that, but it comes to quickly and easily for the character.
  As far as the idea behind the story, it is a good one that has been done before, but not over done. In this case, I think it was just executed with poor pacing and character development. We have very little world building, and at this point I would have welcomed an info dump over having so little of an intro.
  Bon seems like a very flat character so far. We know he likes a girl and can do programming of some sort. He seems to have very few emotions except in a couple places. He doesn't feel strongly enough to really stand out so far, even though he has spent years in this tower already. No character development so far. And don't get me started on the ghost.
  This ghost basically hands everything over to Bon with a little trial and error. It just feels like the author couldn't figure out how to let Bon develop cultivation without being spoon fed like a kid. The ghost is being used as a very weak plot device at this point and we know very little about him despite having spent 15+ years in his company.
  The only thing Bon has emotions about is not calling the ghost master. Bon has no moments of missing his friends or family, of reminiscing on better days, or even thinking about food while starving to death.
  As far as grammar goes, there seems to be few spelling errors even if the prose could use some work. I didn't

  I hate giving this story a low rating, because the idea behind us is fantastic. Yet, the writing is just holding me back from enjoying it.
  I'm not claiming to be an amazing 5 star writer, so take my review lightly. This needs a rewrite. There is tension, no character, just names and actions. Fuck, as I wrote this review, I forget the MC's name, what he even looks like, a single personality trait. Just that he misses his fiancé.
  This is by no means a "this story sucks, stop writing" review. Nor a "Dont read this story" review.
  If this gets rewritten, I will be on of the first to read it. Trust me, a rewrite will do wonders. My own story needed one, and it is more well received because of it.
  Hope you keep being awesome.

  ★★★ 2.5

  For the author's first, work, it's actually quite a good attempt and I have read much worse, sadly the world is not fair and this is not being compared to authors' first-time stories but any in general.
  Going through the issues of the story, I have nothing against OP MC's, it is one of my favorite sub-genres though I felt that it just did not fit the story idea here.
  When you read the title of boss slayer and read the synopsis, you think you're getting into a story where the main character goes through David and Goliath and beats these incredible bosses with planning and skill. We get some of this but the execution was not there, for the whole title of the story it felt too rushed like these bosses were only minor inconveniences apart from the mangrove one.
  Overall, this story is a combination of a few different story types such as the tower and dungeons with a system thrown in. Bon's original party with Steven had some developments. However, his original friend's party feels quite flat and just trudging along.
  I think the author has something to work with here, as of chapter 29, all the story needs is a slight touchup on personalities, individualism and expanding on Bon's boss fights, make those harder. Show Bon learning attack patterns of bosses on top of using the environment to his advantage.
  When Bon finishes the Alpha test, makes us feel like Bon accomplished the impossible, that he deserves his new powers. The Alpha test is untapped gold for the story, with plenty of ways to expand the universe and give both the readers and Bon a better idea of the different creatures that inhabit it.
  While this is only a basic review, I can't remember any spelling or grammar issues I noticed.
  Overall, I enjoyed reading the first 29 chapters that have been released.
  Note to the Author: I would recommend giving the story a rewrite once you are more comfortable at writing. As said earlier, it's not terrible, just unpolished I think.
