Description

What would you do if you could suddenly do anything?

Lucas Creo finds himself alone and clueless when The Construct arrives. What he was before doesn't matter any longer. Talents, Skills, Perks, and Levels are how he will Construct his Fate, for better or for worse.

Follow Lucas on his path with an atypical weapon choice, a penchant for crafting Talents, and a gratuitous amount of puns.

    [It is a good story,
    The characters sometimes seem a bit unnatural (it may be because some arent human) but the bromance is just hilarious.
    The skills, stats and perks are really good, and im curious what will come in the future
    I hope there will be more chapters and the bigger plot will show up.]
    Edit on Chap 19:
    The situation cleared, the plot thickens and the story evolves into a really good one.
    Still my earlyer statement stands: If you like litRPG, you gonna like this.

    What's cooler than a man with an anchor for a weapon? A guy with an anchor weapon with water magic and golems, and stuff. I promise to become a fanboy for life if the author gives Lucas a golem mobile.

    This story has no obvious flaws and is an entertaining read as of chapter 10. If you like adventure styled post-apocalyptic litrpg styled fictions then you will like this.
    The grammar has no issues and the characters are reasonably fleshed out, with personalities and differences. It is hard to say what direction this fiction is going down as of yet as there hasn't much time passed chronologically in the story and although the general feel has been established the setting could still change a bit, who knows.
    The story certainly takes inspiration from a bunch of popular and well written litrpgs and it has taken on it's own style too.

    The story it's good. The character are well done. The grammar is good too and easy to read.
    Just, any yaoi story or have yaoi element story not my cup of tea. You really should put it on.

    This story starts "ok" and becomes "good". That may not sound like high praise but I mean it sincerely. Originally, the story was very clearly skill driven, in that the author wanted certain skills and made them happen.
    Spoiler: Spoiler
    Using anchors, magic affinities, becoming an elf, immediately useful item drops, location changes, teachers showing up, just unbelievably convenient stuff.
    After about chapter 18, they have what the author wanted them to have, and move on from what is basically extended newbie training.
    Then, there starts to be an over arching plot. They start to have goals and start to interact with more than just each other (the two MCs). If you struggle through the first chapters, it gets better, and then the first arc ends. But those twelve chapters or so are pretty good, and I'm excited to see where this goes.
    Every litrpg is skill centric, this one just seems to cram em in without much rhyme, reason or character rationale, but I've read several stories that just give the MC OP skills, this story just takes a lot longer to finish it up.
    The grammar is pretty good, no obvious glaring mistakes, but the writing won't ever make you gasp at it's beauty. Fine for RRL.
    The characters jump between the chillest apocalypse survivors ever, killing monsters and chatting with octopus people, to emo highschoolers crying in between classes over being scared or having their hair change color. Pick a lane, either have them be suffering from PTSD or have them tough it out (or split it down the middle).
    Sometimes, later chapters will have throw away paragraphs to explain character inconsistencies or plot weirdness, that annoys me. It's nice the story gets revised but maybe do it in chapter, instead of after the fact.
    My only personal complaint is that they blush too much, they're dudes in their twenties in Maine not Japanese school girls. It was nice once they finally came out of the closet though, if only because it stopped people commenting about how they were t

    The story is slow. it is readable with good language. the story is not moving forward as much as we hope in the first few chapters. the novel is just like any other litrpg novel, but you read it for the story.
  • jaquecustoeRoyal Road
    ★★★ 2.5
    As of this review I have read the first 12 chapters.
    Story:  Is a solid LitRPG.  It takes from many other stories the mechanics that work, to a degree.  I may have missed but the actual stats seem off for actual count vs level and level additions.  It is a fairly standard pace for RR stories but will need some changes if planning to publish.
    EG: MC has mental break down kills slime everything is fine.
    Style: Reminisent of the early teen girl manga.  Focusing on a simple budding relationship with a little action thrown in.
    Grammar: Clean writing with very little typoes or wrong tense words.  The 'adult' language feels forced or what a typical 14 year old thinks is appropriate.
    Characters:  The only real lacking issue in the story.  As of chapter 12 we have 4 characters.  The MC and the love interest.  The knowledgable guide; and the expositional filler.  Other reviewers have stated the issue with the homosexual issues.  That is not the problem.  It is the fact that for a early 20's guy there is too much 14 year old girl.
    It is a decent story and the fact that it is longer that 10 chapters and seems to be ongoing it is worth a read.

    ★★★ 2.5
    Main character jumps right into game features without worrying about friends or family. He games skills and levels super fast and then doesn't apply his new stats before venturing out. This is true even after 3 life threatening fights! When he deliberately sets out to find a fight with 25 unassigned points, I gave up. Spelling and grammar are pretty good, but main character is too flawed.

    ★★★ 2.5
    I'm really bummed that I didn't know there were same sex romantic scenes in here because although I don't mind, it's not something I can relate to OR look for in the MC's I'm investing in when I read a novel.
    Also he kind of portrays them in a wayy too stereotypical fashion. Like almost textbook stereotype homosexuals.
    Unfortunately I feel like dropping the story because of this which is a shame because all those things aside, it really IS a decent story.
