Description

It doesn’t matter how terrifying dreams get, so long as they stay dreams.

When Garrett comes to after a close brush with death, he realizes that he’s in a new world, and worse, he’s missing an arm and paralyzed from the waist down. A fact that doesn’t deter the brutal gang lord whose floor he’s crashing on from wanting to throw him out into the street. The only thing standing between Garret and a cold death at the mercy of the city’s scavengers is a plucky young woman, and his own wits.

Armed with a system that gives him experience for exploring the new world he is in, Garrett is determined to do whatever it takes to keep himself safe from the threats that press in all around him. Even if it means becoming a villain.

But the inn and city are far from what they seem. Terrifying creatures lurk around every corner, waiting to prey on the unwary, and there is no weapon that can stop them. A strange lucid Dream world hovers on the edge of Garrett's consciousness, and it isn’t content to stay a dream. When it starts bleeding into the real world, Garret realizes that the hostile gangs around him are the least of his worries.

yes i know its going to get longer but the chapters are short enough that it is fairly light compared to other stories ive read. however just because the chapters are short doesn;t mean things don't happen. like i said its light reading not a slog or a brick to the teeth.
the characters are interesting and the setting compelling i look forward to seeing what happens next.

Now, I want to start this review with a declaration: this book's synopsis doesn't make justice to the story. It gives a general idea of what you're going to encounter, but it doesn't attract you like a magnet. I, personally, discovered this through the publicity made by another writer, and gave it a shot, and boy was that a good idea.
Now, imagine being isekaid in another world. So far so good, that's standard. Then add to that the fact the protagonist is put inside the dying body of a boy who's lost an arm and both legs. And then throw him in a city where near to no one would help him and would rather let him die to see if they can sell his organs.
What would you do? What would you try to do?
Well, our protagonist, seeing as he lacks in brawn, uses his brain, and with a little help from a good girl manages to instate himself as the brain of a gang of people who I aptly like to call "The Mafiosoes", because why not.
Garrett, the protagonist, is a cool headed boy capable of mantaining his calm in most situations, even the most dangerous, but he can also be kind hearted. The many other characters are well fleshed out, with interesting backstories that are very slowly being revealed, bit by bit.
In regards to the leveling system, it is much more similar to that of a game, which makes it so that this one is very different from what you will find in other stories. And the abilities are extremely interesting to boot.
All in all, I suggest you give this story a try: it may be slow paced, but that's part of its charm. The 5 stars were well deserved.

A really enjoyable story, at least so I felt. The limitations on the MC are interesting and while OP, he is a bit cunning, and not just instantly the winner.
A critique of mine is that the 'path of the watcher', executed so well in the first great ruler arc is being overwritten by an MC that is involved in the action. I much preferred the tension of the MC being super powerful, but far away from the action, having to guide and plan for the actions of others. I am sad that now it is more of a traditional action fantasy.
Highlights include the evocative settings and dynamic and interesting powers and monsters. These are the best bits, and really set my mind alight with the delight of fantasy!
The plot is not just a vehicle, and there are occasional twists and the MC seems a step ahead through information gathering and planning not just power.
The characters do tend to get forgotten about or left by the wayside, and I'd like to see the original Klein family growing stronger as well as just the MC, but that's more taste than anything.
The scheme with the soap merchants was a real joy - very predictable, but no less pleasurable to experience a more delayed gratification in the fulfilment of it.
Highly recommended.

Books are my favorite hobby for one reason, and one reason only. There is no limit to what a human mind can create. Mine isn't a creative one, but it sure loves reading what creative minds have made. This is a very nice piece of work. Uses some story elements that have become more common throughout the years, but does it in a new way, in a new world, with new characters. Love it.

Dreamers Throne was a breathe of fresh air. I found it on a list of progression fantasy reads that feel different or original for serial readers of the genre (so many stories often feel very derivative and samey). It absolutely provided that feeling of something new for me. The primary conceit of the story is essentially that the MC is very vulnerable physically and his path to power lies through manipulation, information gathering, planning, and clever management of people. Listened to the first few books on audible and the narrator did a great job there, perfect voice. When I read the most recent book on RR his voice was stuck in my head. Check this one out.

By far the author's best work. The setting is unique while also relatable. The MC is also interesting and refreshing. I want to keep reading more and more. I can't wait for tomorrow's release. I also hope that the author dives into the dream more and explores the other dream lords that exist in the world.

I really liked it and as I got closer to the end of the current chapters I kept wanting there to be more like when your having your favourite dessert so you take your time eating, bit by bit.
The story is rather refreshing unlike half the crap that is trending on royal road. So far from what I have seen no cliche tropes have been used so far.
Characters have depth.

MC is severely disabled and fully dependant on others for survival he uses his intellect, experience from two lives and newly awakened talent to get by in his current circumstances.
General magical setting appears to be somewhat simple yet elegant system where people awaken their magical talent to one of few options - hints at great potential and with general users being somewhat powerful but not walking demi-gods powerful.
What is more novel in this work is the use of Dream which appears to be a new plane or phased plane boundaring the real world but at the same time is covered in heavy mist/fog. Chairbound MC needs to discover new locations via this dream to accomplish his goals as his mobility is not what it used to be. This is also dangerous plane full of nightmarish monsters but also allows MC to interact with dreams of people he can reach with his magic.
The book so far appears to be well written. Ideas or at least combinations appear fresh or have enough twist that they are still interesting even if you read 100 other works with setting of medieval like fantasy with transmigration/possession etc.
I would recommend reading this but I am very disappointed that I found it so early on....will have to wait for new chapters instead of binge reading all of them in few months time.

Wonderful dark isekai story. The dream world is so interesting and fun to explore. Love the style of leveling and skill trees in this story. It's different to other LiTRPG I've read so far and highly enjoyable.
The masters are creepy and dark. The politics and social maneuvering is even fun. Look forward to more in the future.

I was enjoying this one enough to join Patreon to continue reading. Unfortunately, it seems like between some harsh reviews and personal issues, the author has put this on hiatus. I haven't gotten to any of Seth's other books yet since I am keeping up with far to many. When you read weekly chapters of 10-20 webnovels you sometimes miss out on details you wouldn't in a full read through. I went back over this one again after it went on hiatus, and it read even better in a good binge read. I really hope this one comes back soon. I've read some decent grimdark/horror webnovels on RR, but this is up there with Father of Monstrosity for me. (Sovereign of Monstrosity soon pls)
