  This was fun and fast paced. I just stayed up an hour and a half later than I should have. I hope the author continues.

  He Mc isn't exactly dense just has a lot on his plate and doesn't socialize well. Further more this isn't a rip off of anyone I have had this story brewing for years but I had a virus that totalled my PC and I had to buy another one. That is why my story mores at such a fast pace and skips details. I am trying to get to where I need the story to be which is out of the first training part so if will not be compared to anything else. I feel that you are just trolling people and to rate my story as half a star is ridiculous when there are far worse stories on here. If you don't like it don't read it. No skin off my back. Because of the year delay of my putting my story out I have had to chance it drastically as some of the other stories on here have used some of the ideas I had and I had to drop they otherwise trolls like you would say I am copying them.

  With the abundance of stories on paper and on the web it is almost impossible to come up with something truly original.  Often times author come up similar stories and they are made completely independently of one another.  For example years ago I was working on a story I called Treaty Ground which was about a giant diplomatic space habitat.  One year later Babylon 5 was on television, so I stopped my story half way done.  I had no inkling about that television show either; I’m not a professional though I just like stories.  Other times people come up with their own slant on someone else’s story premise.  This is not wrong in my opinion; remember imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
  As for main characters with flaws in general, I don’t like them. I have no problem with character fighting a physical handicap or one getting over traumatic events that were not their fault.  But I don’t like characters that are still fighting drug addictions or are abusive assholes and other things of that nature.  So don’t worry about building flaws into your character.  I like how you have your MC acting smart.  I would have done the same thing or I might have run screaming from the bathroom like a little girl.   Don’t tell my nieces I said that, they can both kick my ass and out shoot me.  Thanks for the story and keep writing.  I’m the guy who gave Eugene a down check on his review.  I think he scored your story far too harshly especially considering a lot of the junk appearing on this site.
  An addition to my review responding to Eugene.
  I read Change:New World before this story as well and I liked it.  I’m just waiting for them to get out of that damn school.  GBFirestorm is giving us a nice story to read for free!   It’s not Tolkien, Hemingway or C.S. Forrester but who cares it’s fun and again free.  You gave him an advance review of less than four stars those kind of scores discourage other readers.  It’s been twenty six days since LV1Slime has given us anything new for C

  This fiction is  a good one.  At this point not a bad one and not a great one.  It is entertaining,keeps you interested and delivers old and new ideas in a way that is the author's  own.  Sure there are plots and situations that are similar to other stories, but they DO NOT last long or take away from the creativity.  All in all, I'm enjoying it and others wanting a good apocalypse, game, harem, OP ish story then give it a try.

  I really like this story simce this and Change: New world(CHW) Has similarities i kinda like the character dynamkc of this one compared to CHW i like how there are twist and turns and for those reviews that isnt about the fiction pls open your own thread. IT IS SIMILAR TO CHW BUT DONT EXPECT THE AUTHOR TO FOLLOW LEVEL1 SLIME'S WRITING STYLE ENJOY THIS NOVEL FOR WHAT IS IS NOT FOR WHAT ITS NOT

  Good story so far. Harem kind of forced..some consistent mistakes in grammar but nothing too important. Seems a little too fast but  good NC. I like the idea of a realistic MC, no bullshit i'm gonna be a hero and save everyone...

  I like the story, and I can actualy see how it is original, the only thing is that the relationships progressed too fast! all of them nonchalantly accepted their situation, it lacks a bit of FEELS... but well this is after all the first draft, and this is a newbie's site.
  Thanks for the story, and keep at it, it is entertaining.

  i understand  what you mean SciFiAddict but I’m just trying to say nothing is perfect and i know you can’t really make a original because there are so many similar themes its just it feels like this start was rushed and copied( only because i read and liked change:new world first) its just you have to have a certain thing that gets you into the story so it doesn’t get dull which is what i said about the flaw. so were on the same page on this topic but i think there are different ways you can evaluate one’s work right
  ps: im not discouraging i am pointing out the flaws so the author can have something to look at when improving their work so he/she can enjoy shaping it. and since it is a new work you can’t just give full 5 stars straight away, also no start of is perfect. when over time after enjoying the author’s work i will increase my rating for it since by then the performance should have improved.
  so as a message to the author i apologize if i was too rude, may bad and i hope you know as i give you feedback I’m just trying to help you instead of being some asshole of a trol that just gives bad reviews to everyone without reason.

  First your MC.
  He is supposed to be smart. No signs of any mental illness and born from a high status family and isn't very good at socializing. After the first chapter he became a berserker, which we will only see on that chapter because maybe the author forgot about it or changed his mind. He fought a kobold warrior LVL15 or something while he is level 3. I believe that this story used Re:Monster as basis, so im wondering how did a kobold with warrior training forgot to defend itself from the MC? And why did the MC get so much power? No explanations. Not much detail for the fight scene and dont hope it will get better because later fights are less detailed than the first chapter
  Second is your Mechanics
  No explanations about the stats/effects/skills/pretty much everything.. The MC just assumes everything based on his game mechanics. No part of the story that had proven it is true. But the story just bends to the MC's will. If you had given up a little part of your harem dialogues to explaining the game mechanics then this story would have atleast reached 3 star on my count.
  Third the story
  The premise is great. Because i have read Change:New World. But utterly disappointed because after the story got to the cafeteria the main genre of the story became harem. For 8 chapters you will read all about harem and little info and plot the author would like to put in as consolation. You said you will focus more on the gods/monsters but you enjoyed the harem too much it gets disgusting. The topics are cheap and delirious. Who thinks about sex in a dungeon full of danger? Atleast some decent author thinks of harem after the danger had subsided. But you focused on the harem first before advancing your story. Well dying men wants to cherish their last moments anyway so go enjoy while it lasts.
  Grammar
  As usual you have errors. I wouldn't advice getting PR because you would just waste his/her time.
  You have problem with conversations too. You are trying very hard to make story
