“Great story so far with a HWFWM feel to it. MC is a bit of a dunderhead but is good. No weird grammar or spelling stuff so far. Assistant is unhelpful in a good way that progresses the story. I like how it’s a bit more gamified and will continue to follow it.”

Style: Clear, direct prose that's easy to follow, with some moments of nice and poetic imagery. It's heavy with gamelit aspects and a decent amount of crunch. So far, the system and tutorial is somewhat reminiscent of a less absurdist Dungeon Crawler Carl mixed with He Who Fights With Monsters. It seems well thought out and looks like there are a lot of interesting possible abilities in the future. It leans more into the 'active HUD interaction' side of litrpg.
Grammar: Mostly impeccable. A couple small mistypes throughout the text but nothing consistent or obvious.
Story: Just in the tutorial phase so far. The beginning arc has hit the right beats for this type of story. Really, in litrpg apocalypses we're trying to see the MC level up a cool system in a cool environment, and so far the story has provided that. A lot of possible routes this story can take from here.
Character: The MC, Will, has a good personality so far--he's active with his goals, relatable, knows what's going on and how to work the system to his advantage, and the aspects of his future build that have been revealed so far are pretty interesting. Seems like there's some depth to his background. Have to wait and see what future interactions he has with other Users to see how he develops.
I'll keep an eye on this one. It's a well-executed start that'll scratch the litrpg itch.

Great story so far with a HWFWM feel to it. MC is a bit of a dunderhead but is good. No weird grammar or spelling stuff so far.
Assistant is unhelpful in a good way that progresses the story.
I like how it’s a bit more gamified and will continue to follow it.

Don't be put of by the Reviews. This book is a great read and i recomend it to All people who like the litrpg Genre. The characters are well written and the humor is done well.
You don't get the feeling that the mc is some gary stu but he is still plenty strong. The fights are well done and the System is well thought out.
The mc uses mainly dark powers, but he is no total edge lord. He is an Underdog character that struggles for Power.
The Pasing is well done and you don't really feel bored through the steady progression
All in all i can only praise this book. You should really give it a read!

Very well written with a good premise. There are a few unique takes on things and an OP feeling MC who is not running entirely solo. I like the multitude of story threads that were slotted in smoothly without cluttering things up. There is a lot of places for this story to go and I am looking forward to reading along.

I love Will's snark, I love that he has to pay heavy prices to get commensurate rewards, and is willing to suffer to get the job done.
I love how he cons gods. Repeatedly. He's pragmatic, clever, and stubborn as hell.
The world isn't fair, Will gets it, and just deals.

A prohibited one at that. Unfortunately, our system user didn't have the ability to decide. Thankfully, however, he was more than prepared to take any and all advantages to survive.
Inside a corrupted tutorial, a corrupted dungeon and against corrupted enemies, he's got only one thing going for him, he's in his element.
Against the odds fights and actual training inside his tutorial, he might have a chance to survive... a small one, but a chance nonetheless. His chances are and are not helped by making stronger enemies more pissed off at him, but he gets an ally, and the most trust worthy of them; the enemy of his enemy.
So strap in and clench your teeth, you're in for a wild ride. It doesn't reinvent the wheel (not to say it doesn't have its unique flavor), it's a system apocalypse, and a darn good one at that.

Not five stars because it lacks some amazing features.
But 4.5 stars because it is really really good overall. Everything seems really natural in the story : there is no moment where it is the plot armor doing all the job. It is always a good use of the rules of the world.
I like it.
You may too, why don’t give it a shot ?

This is a very enjoyable read. The story is detailed, but doesn't get bogged down by it. Battles are concise, and easy to picture. I usually don't like reading fight scenes, but I have never needed to skip over these. The magic system is interesting, I look forward to seeing more of the skills that the main character picks up.
The main character is fleshed out and likeable. Side characters are interesting and the humor never seems forced, it fits into the scenes organically.
Everything is well written and the editing is tight, The authors update schedule and quality has been consistent from the start. Well worth the read. I will be checking out the rest of the authors works as well.

The best parts are the fighting in this story. This is a story about an over powered main character who gets all the good stuff and destroys all the enemies. There is even a global leaderboard which no doubt he will be #1 at some point in the story. The worst part of the story is the OPness of the MC, and the huge amounts of abilities and items and equipment that have unique effects. These effects will be in in full display in paragraph length many times in the middle of fights annoyingly. Grammar and style are decent, but the story lacks tension in any way since it is super obvious the MC will come out fine. There really is no one in the story I feel attached to as well. Ok story.

When a vat grown demon has more depth there is a problem. Once again we are treated to a barely there amateur murder machine that gets cursed in an extremely fortunate way. Once again, the figures of authority that would better handle the situation are absent. Lord of the Flies occurs because adults are absent. There are no adults to ve found here. Anyway, this is a well written story where numbers go up, but it is a disappointment after the brilliant Devourer.
