Description

This has been deleted for 3 years and just recently restored 19/08/2024, as I didn't have the most up to date chapters saved. Remains on Hiatus so I don't recommend reading as things stand. Thank you.

Thousands of years ago, the pathway to Earth was sealed, and life within the Underworld stagnated.

With little resources and exposure to the outside world, life quickly turned dull and monotonous. Nothing ever changed. For the Second Prince, it was hardly a life worth living.

But one day, the prince stumbles upon a room that contains a trace of hope for him. A hope that his future won't be just as bleak and forgettable. The Void beckons him, and it is not easy to resist its call. Unable to overcome its manipulation, he takes the plunge through the void, and suddenly finds himself in a different world. A blue screen appears out of nowhere, informing him that his body is being merged with another, as pain starts to course through him.

I do not write advanced review, for me there is only two types of novel : those that I enjoyed (5/5) and the others. So don't expect a profound analysis of this novel.
This novel was truly a nice surprise, I did not expect anything when I started it and it was totally worth my time. It's a bit lighter than most novel with a similar topic and that's refreshing because this sub genre often feel saturated. The characters are nice and the world building doesn't feel forced.
It's a very good take on a classic trope : highly recommend.
PS: the litrpg progression is an essential part of the story which is always a big plus for me.
there is some minor inconsistencies in the story but they are not big enough to really affect the flow.
This review only cover the first 16 chapters.

The Story is great and engaging! The best book I've read so far in their early chapters. The grammar is decent. The early chapter is mainly focused at the mc which is good because he was just learning about the system and the new things he never done in his previous life as a demon. I'll wait for the later chapters to edit my review again. For now I will give it a massive five star.

I have enjoyed reading it so far. The characters are interesting and I like how the advancement system is set up. That said there are only 18 chapters up so far and I have seen many stories on this site drop off after the initial chapters. Hopefully this one will keep going strong.

The grammar and style are really good, far above what you usually see on this site. Punctuation is near perfect, and I didn't really catch any mispellings or such. Dialogue flows naturally, it's easy to tell who is speaking, and it's neither over or under tagged. I don't have anything to complain about here.
As for the story. I feel that it is progressing pretty good, and while it's not slow at all, I can't help but think that maybe it would've been better to have the MC be older in the second chapter. I suppose it's not that big of a detraction, but we spend a lot of time and chapters watching the MC grow up. While it's nice to get a feel for the character, and be there from the beginning to learn about the world with him, it would've also been nice to get into the action faster.
At the end of the day, it's not that big a deal, and more content is always fine. And it seems were heading towards the action part of the story now though, which is nice. I'm really liking his father as a character, and excited to see how the plot develops and how the characters will be fleshed out.

I really like the premise and the execution of the story. It may start a bit slow to some, but that's just for the first 10 chapter or so where he explain the overall dynamic of his new family and explore how the system works. Even then, a lot of things are explained to set up the background of the story, so it's not really slow.
The MC is not op by any mean, instead he has an advantage that he has to build if he wants to surpass others. As of now his demon bloodline is not really explored because he is still a child and it was said before that demons matures way slower, so I assume it will start to take effect when he grows older. I really like his personality and his apporach at things, he is cautious with things he doesn't know or doesn't have knowledge of.
He doesn't tell other he is a half demon, which is a good thing considering that Demons are not well received and there have been wars between humans and them, he is not really going on telling others about it.
Even if his potential seem lower (because he matures slower as a half demon), his father still loves him, giving him a tutour and teaching him personally. He has also shown his father that he is intelligent and digilent so he is very well liked by him, and thought to have a high potentional because of that, even if his stats are a bit lower than normal. There is no cliche where the father doesn't like his child because he has a lower potential than his other children. The mother is a different thing, but that is a spoiler.
He uses a spear as his weapon of choice, which I personally prefer over the sword or other weapons.
The story is still in development, it's only at chapter 12, but we got to know that instead of the typical mediaval-magic setting it's a more futuristic world, with spaceships and such, we are also shown some of the technological advancements they have.
This is more of a rant to some of the comments that I replied to:
Many people seem to not understand how the mother died or was, possib

For only twenty chapters is a fairly standard yet engaging system lit rpg, set in a futuristic world with a system.
I enjoyed it for the twenty chapter I've read so far and don't really have any complaints. Setting up to be another good read so I'd suggest anyone wondering to give it a go.
Only real gripe is the missed opportunity I feel it has no expanding more on the demon work which seemed cool an unique but that could always happen lator.

My opinion of the story is that it follows a sort of nuetreal stand point so far 1-16. The Mc is powerful but not so much as to make the story boring.The best part is that the Mc actually shows his age mentallity perfectly with his previous life and current one which I aprecieate immensely.

'Tis a nice novel, basic isekai concept with a twist of MC origins, some tweaks to the classic LitRPG system. I'm interested to see where this goes.
In short, Read This!! It's worth your time and it will increase the novel's popularity, meaning more chapters per week, meaning more readers, meaning more chapters per week.

While it's a bit too soon to say for certain how good the novel will end up at, the start (chapter 1 to 16) is quite good and show that this novel has potential.
While it does remind of standard reincarnation litrpg, it does bring a nice spin on the genre.
I'm looking forward to the future of this novel.

Must admit, this was just a random one I picked up when I checked RR main page a couple days ago and saw it's title on the left-hand list of 'recently updated'. I vaguely recall opening it to a new tab, reading it and thinking "eh, i'll get around to it. Probably meh."
Boy was I pleasantly surprised.
Story so far is a fairly straight forward Isekai very much in the good ol' vein of Mushoku Tensei (the papa of Isekai) and is actually doing honors to that origin rather than being a cheap knock-off.
The USP (unique selling point for my uneducated brethren) is that the MC is originally some kind of Demon, as in one of those 'demon race' rather than more 'spiritual demon' types. This is used well in the fact that it provides a (to me) much more believable reason for a character to be enthralled with their new world. A human isekaied into most fantasy worlds should frankly be horrified by the standard conditions. Western Humanity has got if fudging good right now.
A demon whose only known the bare grey stone walls of a barren castle? Yea, I can see the new world and experiences being WAY more appealing to him. Not only that, but he seems like a clever, hard-working, patient and decent guy. The few flashes of character interaction we're shown between him and his 'siblings' are frankly a little heartwarming to me. I hope that trend continues and he doesn't develop into a 'i'mma badass ain't no one gonna cross me and not get slapped' sort of repetitive character.
The prose for the most part is straightforward. It's not exactly eloquent but it's very much sufficient. The story is being told at a solid pace, conversations flow, descriptions are straightforward conveying the important information without digressing into unneccessary detail etc etc. Mostly good points.
Basically give it a try, there's little to dislike and a lot to enjoy! Hope the good trend continues
