  I had stopped reading this around V6Prologue and picked it up again and I have to say, other than the occasional grammar errors, the story is a great read and the way the plot unfolds works quite well.
  My only gripe would be the occasional glimpses into the future, which, while fun, don't pay off immediately in the same volume so doesn't really fit the plot the same way...it works, but I don't see the need.

  The characters are interesting especially the MC. Unlike most MC in other stories where the MC just gain their ridiculous advantage just because they are the protagonist, your MC has foundation. He is a martial artist in real life, trained by the best in the world. His intellect is in genius level. So when he's being ahead in the game compared to those that come before him it becomes acceptable.
  PS: The grammar got better.
  For the rest, I have nothing much to say but as for your grammar, it's a little bit of a so-so but understandable nonetheless. I guess you're more focus on telling your story than perfecting your grammar which is not a bad thing just keep in mind to keep it readable despite the several errors, your readers won't mind a few tweaks.
  Anyway, don't stop writing!

  The current premise is short but he had been through a lot. That's the first thing I liked.
  Second is that he and his rival haven't clashed yet and while the rival is brazenly displaying what he can do like an exhibitionist, he on the other hand is facing a more structured progress. That's the second part that I liked.
  Next, the origin of his power and the progress he's experiencing is related less to luck and is more to research and planning. I'd been sick and tired of the setting where some nobody MC got struck by lightning or picked an ancient that made them great. So cliche! So this is quite refreshing.
  Last, he maintained being ruthless and rational to being nice and at least conservative to his actions. I'd seen characters that though they don't have the annoying cliche of the "too righteous" MC are just too damned much of a bastard and A-hole.
  Well, I guess that's all. Keep it up!

  First of all, the novel's story, plot and hooks are great and well structured, flowing together well. Your small infoboxes throughout are a clever way of providing information and your systems of magic and power incorporate solidly into your world. Great work.
  My only qualms regard your characters, especially the protagonist. In short, he checks many boxes of a typical Mary Sue/Gary Stu.
  Throughout the story, he constantly displays feats of strength, intellegence, and tactical proficiency that are quite sudden and implausible, with no foreshadowing or forewarning whatsoever. "MC is in a predicament surrounded by dozens of monsters with seemingly no way out, but "hahaha I knew you were gonna do that so I did this and this and this beforehand all in secret" and all the enemies die". The suddeness with which he introduces his grand plan, with no clues or foreshadowing whatsoever, ruins the ingenuity of it. It feels like you just pulled an excuse out of nowhere and now the problem's randomly solved.
  Yes, this is a Strong Lead novel featuring a person blessed twice by the heavens, but you've given him too many good traits, to the point where it is unrealistic and starts to ruin the character. Superior intellect - alright. Extreme martial arts proficiency - sure. Business man ideology but respects sentimentality - a bit contradicting but ok. But does he really have to be overwhelmingly, drop dead gorgeous, at the same time? Genesis/Grimm is too perfect, with too many positive traits, and this unbalances the character. Although the explanation of him being an Evolian later on is provided, it comes too late to undo the reader's impression. Keep in mind he's 16! Even if he's got wide contacts, super intellect and sheer will, there is a limit to how perfect he can become, especially since most of his intellectual knowledge is self taught.
  Another character flaw I have to point out is the villains - a lot of them are a bit to cliche.
  They're all sneering and arrogant, believin

  Not much of a review, but more like pointing out some flaws and what I like.
  First of all, the Mc. Grimm aka Gen. He's a perfect genius who was the son of a businessman. That is the base of his personality, and everything else apart form that seems just shallow. He doesn't have many quirks that makes him 'human.' We don't see his thoughts that much, but his actions, and they don't really show 'him' at all. He's like that badass character we sometimes see as a supporting character. He needs more depth to be the true Mc here. He has no growth at all. Even the side characters are given more background!!! However, lately, there seems to be a bit more parts to him, like his fears, though it's still shallow.
  The real life parts. There are a lot of them for the company and side characters, but, except for the first few chapters, we see nada for Gen there! There are even times when he's not logged in, but there's no mention of that at all. His family doesn't seem to exist? Also, his world-famous teachers, two or so chapters, and puff, gone. Idk if that is just because you're planning something, but do something with it.
  Spoiler: Spoiler
  -----Spoilers Ahead-----
  Lastly, are you just trying to make Gen op as fudge without caring? He does wicked things, but does it make sense? Doesn't just fill the skill box with useless *rap? He's smart, but give us some foreshadow of this stuff! Same colored eyes? That easy? Seriously? Tell us that! Able to detect dark energy from a mile away? He fu**ing had that skill? Give us a tiny bit more description.
  And what? Three people as one? How that even work? He did he even think of that? Not an alliance? Faking being a person that you made up and are? Wtf man. Not being suspicious when you took over a month to get a single ingredient from a very dangerous dungeon? Are you seriously making this up as you go? That doesn't work with the smart-ass characters here.
  Skill box. Stats. We have no standard. You say it's op, but we don't know for sure.

  One of my fev. novels here in RRL. The MC is Super OP . But the story is too complicated that following it becomes a lill bit deficult.

  ★★★ 3.0

  Full disclosure: Read through Volume 2
  Started out decently enough. Some fairly generic tropes for a VRMMO story, but that is not necessarily bad. Combine that with a few sob story facets about how the MC. We basically get that basically the MC is super smart and talented and he has a rich but shitty family except for this sister that we never meet. That in of itself is fine.
  The first story arc is good too. MC is training and being rewarded for his efforts. Then the baddies come. Hard work and planning win the day, etc. The big problems come when the MC beats the "secret" boss. How he beats the unbeatble boss is dubious to say the least. The rewards are a typical load of OP BS. And now we have no tension in the story anymore. The MC literally has to handicap himself to get enjoyment out of his first dungeon. He basically throws all his OP rewards out the window and is still beating elite monsters to death with his bare hands with ease.  After that everything became boring and bland because the MC is too strong to build any tension anymore. I am not against OP chars, but they make it extremely difficult build a meaningful story around. Of course noboy wants the MC to be a useless loser either, but a balance must be struck.
  Beyond that the grammar is average. Some errors every chapter but not unreadable. Writing style is also average. Nothing outstandingly good or bad in that department. Overall that sums up the entire work,. Falling for the usual OP MC trope results in mediocrity unless it is played very carefully.

  I gave up halfway through chapter one due to consistent errors, mostly in tense. Can't say much about the story apart from that though.
