Description

Paul, a bored young man, wakes up in a white room. A young woman tells him he has died, that she is some kind of god who likes videogames and he will be reborn in an RPG-esque world so she and her fellow god-friends can watch him for entertainment.Unfortunately, the goddess forgot to give Paul most of the obligatory, obvious cheat-abilities to make him rush to power in easy mode.Paul embraces his new life full of clichés, perverts, magic, loot and action. And animal girls.18+ !CONTAINS GRAPHIC VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL CONTENT!(Actual sex is still hard to find, but you will get it. Eventually. Sporadically.)=================Author's note:So, this is my very first novel. It will be poorly written, has a huge info-dump disguised as a first chapter (to be rewritten. At some point in the future. I guess.), and may or may not offend everyone for different reasons. Perhaps you will just find it boring, which would be even worse. The description turned out a bit comedic, but the story isn't overly so.I have a rough idea of where this will be going, but expect some bumps on the road, as well as logic holes, flat characters and a lot of borderline copyright infringements from all the ideas I got reading other works. And did I mention I'm not a native speaker? No? Well, expect some embarrassing grammar and wording choices.The main character is a more or less normal guy, without high morals, martial arts skills or even a desirable goal in life. There is mature content, in terms of violence and sexual content. It won't become a full-blown erotic novel, and it may or may not be your cup of tea when it comes to the type of content.Critics welcome.

I read it up to chapter 20 in one go and stopped just because there were no more for the moment. Naturally it ended up on my reading list. What fell to my heart the most is that lvling in Helena's Plane is actually a challenging task. I hate it when MC get multiple lvls after beating one single enemy. It just robs you of the sence of accomplishment when MC's lvl is over 9000.Luckily, it's not the case here. A decent grammar, not overdramatic plot, good story pace, it's all there. Talking about negative sides, I think Lord Joyde had that covered.
Normally I would have given 4.5 stars, but this time I'll add 0.5 stars as an encouragement to honorable author, so that he would work harder and drop in another chapter asap)

Style - Its normal. Nothing new or old or bad or good, just typical RR style. I suppose that too has its benefits as some prefer this type of writing. I personally do not but meh... although, I don't know why the author does not use the Blue Screens.. maybe he/she does not know about them?
Story - The story is almost perfectly written, lots of detail and believable interactions between the MC and others considering the situation he's been placed in. One thing that caught my attention is how abruptly he's been forced to move to the secondary location within this story, but I suppose the Author got bored of his starting location and just wanted to get rid of it no questions asked, which is fine.
Grammar - Just about perfect. There don't seem to be any real mistakes spelling-wise and wherever there is an incorrect Tense it seems to be because the wording fits the situation more than its normal version would.
Character - ... I don't really know how to describe the MC as a person. I guess he's some form of Gamer/Playboy/Secretly an Asshole/Trying to be Good kind of person. I really don't understand him much. That said, he is rather well written, so I'll give the author that. If there's one thing I didn't like about the Character only came around in the last chapter when he decided to be a Gentleman instead of giving in to his desires and getting intimate with a companion that REALLY NEEDED it. Its like the author has been pushing themselves into writing a sex-scene for the last couple chapters but decided against it at the last second.
What also struck me was how he, as a person, was able to kill without any form of remorse or pity. I guess that's a part of the story the author will build on later? Because the "I'll kill it if its hostile" type of approach just seems rather half-assed to me, sorry.
Overall - The novel is pretty damn good for a quick read! It does however, seem to copy-paste quite a bit of plot and direction from other novels so its nothing exactly new. B
