Description

What happens when the 'Hero' and the 'Villain' are one in the same?

This is the birth of a God of Theatre, with the entire world as his stage, 'Mordred' plans for a global play to begin. The actors have all been set, the pieces are defined and there is the scent of blood in the air. Would the world resist him to the very last? Or will they succumb to his villainy and false heroism?

Yet, Mordred wasn't always like this. Indeed, until recently he had only been a shut-in with very little prospects for the future. His only talents was being good at a certain game.  That is, until he had received a mysterious message that read: "Welcome to Aria". With the powers of his Game Character he was forced onto this surreal world of fantasy, and thus was born the greatest Devil known to all life, yet publicly he was known as the most benevolent Saint.

    Been a long time user on this site, and this is my first reveiw. The story gets that good.
    First and foremost, the narration for the first part of the story is shit. Same problem as blackthorne. MC is entirely unrelated and the author doesn't do the greatest job of making you enjoy reading First person either. It's a mistake most authors(99.99%) authors make on here. They just can't make a realistic character in FP.
    At some point the author started diverging from the FP narration and picked up a 3rd person when dealing with the MC, and the story has only benefited from. This story is now one of my favorites as a result from it. OP character, things start being realistic and relate-able.
    It wasn't a seamless transition though, and you still have some cases of wishing the MC would just explode and die, but as far as the most recent chapters I feel the Author has only continued to improve, making this story one of my favorites.
    The author clearly learns from his mistakes and is making a rather amazing story. Keep up the good work author, you're on the right path, and I absolutely love this story right now.

    I like the story, due to his predictments and knowledge it is very fast paced which is entertaining.
    All those nitpickers have a valuable point, yeah, but the story is still great (and the MC is not a pure psychopath, another positive point).
    Keep up the good work!

    I love OP Mc's but sometimes some authors dont do it that well, but you did, and i'm so glad! I love the MC and all the characters so far. One word of advice though, although I enjoy the MC's different personas , try to make sure too many dont exist or the true MC will just get lost somewhere in the mix, cuz I can see that becoming a problem. So basically, I love the story development so far and worried about the multiple personas getting out of hand...cant think of anything else so, other than that, I love everything so far
    P.S. The reason why EVERYTHING is 4 and half star and NOT 5 star is cuz no matter how good something is theres always room for improvement.

    Though your story isn't perfect, I shan't discourage you further. Learn from the plot holes the others mentioned, and improve upon the story in the foreseeable future. I believe this still to be worth a read, and I do not understand the excessive hate it receives.
    All the best.

    The main character has Omnipotent Author Disorder, some symptoms include having uncharacteristic knowledge, and disturbingly accurate predictions. What I mean to say is it's like the main character has this story in his hands, and he's writing it himself. He knows and predicts things that he shouldn't, because they're out of character events and happenings. It's a major flaw that some authors have a hard time combating. If you can't keep your knowledge separate from the characters knowledge, it'll lead to poor protagonist development.
