- theeyecanseeRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I don't get why people give it four stars. It deserves FIVE. Punishing something just because it's not your genre is unfair. In its own category this story is very good and comparable to top stories. And I'm not exaggerating. Splendid comedy.
- GalmRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Do you enjoy potatoes? Love cookies? Perhaps are you also fond of cynic necromancers and shy, girly, eldritch aberrations?
This story contains it all, good work! - MonitorRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0The story is interessting, but sometimes I am feeling that you Leave some things for a while alone (forgetting them) (elven slave). But good story, I like the concept. I have no Idea what the story is about, but I also do Not think that this is required to read the story.
- RunnerRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Not sure where nomoresilence is going with this story but it is "interesting".
***WARNING: There should be a Mature and Traumatize label and some parts are 'Not for the Squirmish'. When the tale starts to get too serious something always seems to happen that breaks the tension, causing the reader to laugh.
Very short summary -
The MC seems to have just two main goals in life. Not to work and to live in comfort. Since the MC is now in a brutal world, the only way to to succeed at those goals is to become OP and the way to get there the laziest way is getting others to power level you. Toss in gods with their own agenda plus more stuff hinted (foreshadowing) at in the background, you have a very "interesting" tale.
Wanted to add that "most" of the action so far (Up to chapter 11) has taken place 'off screen' and the stuff happening 'on screen' is character interraction. - CapungRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5A lot of time skip,, check
Kinda have to think a lot to understand the story,, check
Lot of confusion who said what,, check
But hey, it's a story about reincarnation, programming deities, and cookies ..... The fluffy one, without cinnamons,, so ... Yeah 4.5 stars from me
Ps: must love the cinnamons u know,, just because - krunrRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0just a first chapter so far and seems interesting. enough to see what comes next
- FablewhitesRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0this looks like the beginings of a good story. I'm intrigued
- MastersgtjamesRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0I just cannot stress enough how happy I am reading this FF's description...
most of all, Do you have your potato? I love it. - ThecariusRoyal Road★★ 2.0I made it fourteen chapters in before I dropped this fiction. It's kind of fun, but the author makes no attempt to write well (minimal descriptions, poor grammar, lack of a cohesive story). I decided not to read any more when the author said they wouldn't be making an attempt to improve since it takes too long. That said, there are worse.
- UltrabenosaurusRoyal Road★★ 2.0This whole setting doesn't really make sense to me. Props for being able to write your idea and choosing to share it for free, but this just isn't my cup of tea. It's just quite bland.
I'm writing this based on the first 5 chapters so I don't think a spoiler tag is necessary; you have been warned.
The system on that world is totally nonsensical, especially the fame aspect and giving him titles and stuff for the actions of others that he had no involvement or intention for, and it's weird how neither the MC or Darkness have mentioned that Death is blatantly interfering with / manipulating a mortal soul (probably for her own gains) when Death had clearly stated (to Darkness) that doing so is forbidden.
It just feels like the author is writing whatever gives the MC a shit day without any real consideration for structure or plot or making sense.
Grammar and grasp of the English language are good, but the actual style of writing is fairly mediocre. Descriptions are very basic or missing, whether about the scenery or the characters that cross paths with MC in chapter 5 despite the interaction having massive effect on him and his future path. I've seen much worse and much better on this site.
I also haven't sensed any comedy in this yet, except maybe the potato conversation near the start, which was mostly just odd and not funny imo.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
