Description
This story is abandoned and has not been authorized for distribution on any sites but RoyalRoad. Given the Gamer ability after shattering a crystal inside a game, Jon's world is upturned as he is thrown into a life he considered fantasy. Making new enemies and encountering a god, he cannot escape the quest which is forced on him. Different worlds and different situations, can he come out on top? He's neither perfect nor a saint, he is Jon. Welcome to Gamer. This has been dropped, I didn't like the way I forced a few plotpoints and I lost my notes on the story itself. Read below if you want to be spoilered. As far as I recall, he would change race into a higher human after using a spell to overload his mana repeatably until his body forcibly adapts, he would train up his rift usage spell with some better targets than God's Realm because he keeps hitting his stats limit until the cost lowers enough that he can actually grind it. His world is being invaded by multiple worlds, so the god had many backup plans where a lot of people went into their own fantasy settings and came back to defend Earth. Jon never is the strongest one out there, he has to keep grinding and grinding before he gets stronger than the other heroes, and at that point the invasion is nearing the final stretch. Jon's two biggest advantages is that he can keep grinding without hitting a cap he can't evolve, and that even when he is eventually killed. He would have respawned in the nearest 'Safe Zone' after dropping a level and everything he did to gain that level. I also had a bunch of ideas for mini-arcs where he would play in multiple worlds in multiple situations, not that great of an idea in retrospect.

- NeivisRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Hey,
Thanks for the story!
The story itself is good, has a 'path' to move towards. MC is powerful on his own level as of capter 7, not too weak, not too overpowered as of yet. His unique "gamer" class is pretty interesting, gonna make him op later on (I hope). I am kinda glad that you didn't dwell too much on other riftwalking humans because it can get pretty boring if you write too much about them, but the interesting part is that you made Sean a potential threat with his mind control to what MC tries to archieve and threat to the new world itself. Another interesting thing is that non-human races on the other world are in neutral-peaceful terms with each other.
In the end those are just my ramblings as I can't write any proper reviews at all, so just keep up going! - KiriaruRoyal Road★★★ 3.0I enjoyed this fiction, it was over with quickly.
One of my few qualms is that the characters that the Main Character is traveling with aren't being developed as much as they could be, I want to learn more about their reactions to leveling up so much and getting so powerful. Every moment that they have to rest is another moment to show more about their personality and background. This would provide everyone with information about these creatures the MC calls friends and move them closer together. I get that while they went through hard training and likely didn't have lots of time to get to know each other but it would be a lot better if we could at least read a conversation with them once a chapter.
Stylistically this story is severely lacking in anything meaningful when it comes to author's choice of words or their decisions to include some aspects of storytelling as opposed to others. Like character development or fight scenes.
The decision to have characters we never learned about actually reach insane heights of power doesn't really impact a reader the same way. If we at least received some hints or foreshadowing for a characters introduction instead of brief updates or nothing at all, it might make for better storytelling.
Grammar-wise, I run into one or two mistakes or misspellings a chapter.
