Description

I accidentally glitched into a parallel world when I tried to break my speedrunning world record.

I need to find the main characters, put the band back to together and kill the final boss before he triggers the bad ending.

My name is Qwerty Uozewe and this isMu-Ur QuincunxAny% Deathless Untied World Record on Nightmare Difficulty [Live Commentary].

I like this story a lot. It's what I would describe as a story with a mission. It's very straightforward and very interesting. It knows where it is going and it fucking delivers your pizza on time.
The overall story ties itself up pretty nicely, and I love it when stories do big arching plot reason. Mushoku Tensei's epilogue/prequel gave me the same satisfies feeling.
As for bad points, this story is straightforward. It is one of its charms, but also its main weakness.
The side characters are weaker because all of their character development can't really happen anymore. We get a lot of information secondhand. The main character is a compulsive talker, BUT he is coming from a genuine desire to help and see the good ending.
None of these issues can really be fixed because they make sense. The only thing I would ask would be a few more POV chapters from Crystal, Rain, Kimono, and Dancer. Specifically Kimono.

Amazing
It reads like a light novel.
It's incredibly complex, with weird logic, and a genre savvy protagonist rife with future knowledge, to preemptively kill hitler and become master of the universe.
It has quirky gaming slang, and many reflected and subverted tropes that you will recognize because they're part of the comedy mishmash of a confident quick talking know it all who just wants to kill hitler and get 100% completion or something like that.
I like that this story doesn't pretend to be anything but what it is. It doesn't get sidetracked, it was very well planned and out.
This very much feels like a light novel, it moves extremely quickly, and that makes sense with it being about trying to kill the big bad as quickly as possible.
I feel like this author is quite good at light novels, and maybe if they practiced a heavier genre, their light novels would be even better, although that's just a guess on my part

It's a little rough around the edges, but this story genuinely reads like the internal narration of a socially awkward speedrun streamer who's been pulled into a game they know backwards and forwards.
There's enough different from the game that the main character isn't super OP, but he still knows enough about the world and the weird tricks that work in speedrunning to be able to pull off some unexpected and neat stuff.

I didn't come here expecting an extremely good read on the par with my favourite stories obviously, but I became addicted to this story after the first few chapters.
For those that are coming here expecting some mc with great power-ups, don't. This story, in my opinion, is more geared towards those that read it for the plot(alongside minor feels), and not for the power-ups that happen as with most protaganists in other stories. The characters are great, and the interations between the mc and his group(or should i say the people he attached himself to after gathering them) are decently written. We can somewhat see the desperation of the mc if we look past his many monologues, where it may be his way of coping in such a dark world, or i'm just looking too deep into this.
Anyway, get past the first few chapters, and you will find yourself liking the story, or not depending on the tastes of the reader.

This is one of my favorite stories here, but it very much caters to more niche and radical taste than commonly found on Royalroad. It's hard to pin down exactly what I love about it, because everything about it is heads over heels different from the usual fantasy serials.
The author's first language isn't English yet the written english is at a very high level, well beyond CEFR mastery, yet the tone and vernacular have a touch of exotic flavor that can either be attributed to the phraseology of the author's first language or their ability to write such an idiosyncratic perspective. As a native English speaker, it enhances the fantasy in a way that makes the story/wording/setting feel like more "fantastic" a possible other world/future. p.s. the pronoun mix-ups are unfortunately distracting, almost thought it was meta gender identity commentary hell
People who are even slightly familiar with Twitch or gaming streams can get a kick out of the degenerate streamer antics. I saw a few reviews complaining about the monologuing but IMO that's a feature, not a bug. The story runs on a similar kind of stream of consciousness, constant tangents like you'd find on attention-atrophied streams. While there's plenty of asides discussing often random eclectic and esoteric concepts, the action highs are very high and exciting despite the successful resolutions feeling preordained with Speedrun's OP cheat foreknowledge.
Speaking of random eclectic and esoteric concepts, there is a mindboggling amount of LORE mixed into both the in-world worldbuilding and constant references to our real world's lore. This was a plus for me since I enjoy wiki-nerd stuff and I really liked the 2nd book's meshing of Mu Ur realities with Qwerty's plans railroading Mu Ur into a modern future. Lots of ideology pushing and potential author tract, which is a love it or hate it thing. Also need an art degree or search tab open to fully appreciate all the art refs.
There's an absolutely MASSIVE amount of unfam

I found this story really good but while it is good overall there are still some negativ points. First there is the World and the MC they both confused me a little at the beginning and in the middle. The MC talks about the world and about all sorts of places, while it now seems like trivial talk to me, i wondered whether some of those places would be revelant later on. The MC, while kinda strange seems like a nice guy, while he is no hero he has the moral view of a normal person, like don't kill innocent people. But he understands that in this grimdark world it is necessary sometimes. While the start and the middle of the story had their flow the ending seemed a bit rushed.
Spoiler: Spoiler
The point where I think it is rushed is the time between the twins joining the team and the boss fight, the twins get only narrowly introduced, while it was pointed at early in the beginning how awesome they were with their skills and all, I was quite suprised that they were so primitive. I tought they would be able to interact with the team, or that their character would be showed more clearly, but I was kind of disappointed when that wasn't the case. Of course the side story makes up for this quite a bit, but I would have liked it more if they had been able to interact with each other more.
What confused me quite a lot was also the MC, like the other characters I couldn't unterstand a lot of it, whether that was the desired result. I don't know.
So all in all this isn't a perfect story, most aren't but it has got enough good points to be one of the better storys on RR. The grimdark world is pictured very realistically, especially the side story about Sorry Man, and the grammar is good with some minor mistakes here and there.

You either love this story or you hate it.Most of this story is inner monologue of the main character reacting to various aspects of the world.
I have it five stars for style because the main characters reactions feel real.
The story and the other characters beside the main one are kind of bland and typical for a grimdark setting.The author focused on the main character qwerty and left everything else behind which is fine for a monologue based novel but hold it back from being amazing.
I still love it though.

I loved the OG novel and the newer chapters are also good, but the grammar has worsened and a lot of stuff is added for no reason, an example would be in chapter 68 when the MC suddenly goes on a long rant to his subordinates on what could easily have been condensed into "he then gave a long detailed reason on why you should be nice to people" to basically the same effect.

I read till chap 55
I really liked the story but the fucking info dumping is too much
the story is like 50% monologue 30% info dumping (or you can argue that it's kind of world building style that feels like info dumping ) 20% is the interactions between mc and others
dont get me wrong this is a good story you should read it and try to survive 12 chapters or so
unfortunatly my reeading became more like skimming chapters to read something outside of the mc brain

Not exactly an speedrun without exploits, the name is misleading. A fairly standard unoriginal isekai with a grimdark theme layered over the top. I know about, like, two isekai stories that actually use the glitchy game logic the isekai world is based around. Which is funny because the author wanted to be original by being even less original than doing something interesting like that.
Anyway I'm sure it's great, this just isn't what I thought it was or even wanted to read. Grimdark can be fun, but sometimes it just makes me want to scream.
