- DragonShineRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0I really enjoyed this story! It was a ton of fun and cannot wait to read more. It's always good to read something fresh!! I read a lot of stories like this and feel like this has an interesting approach. Please write faster because we are all waiting!!!
- XiniochRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0this is from only a few chapters in:
Interesting twist on a common trope. instead of a real life character gaining game abilities, you have a game character experience what happens when his players takes over his body. I'm looking forward to more of this story. - moulder666Royal Road★★★★★ 4.5The short version: As of this moment, this story shows a lot of promise and could turn out to be a gem if the writer gets back to it.
Long version: The writing in itself is varied, depending on the character in question, and suits the different characters quite well. The "voice" of the MC is sort of disjointed and basic, which goes along just perfectly with the naíve and trusting MC who has a steep learning curve ahead of him.
The story is intriguing - more mystery than LitRPG, more ""Whodunit?" and "Hell's going on?" than your regular "kill 10 rats" story. A couple of the smaller side stories seem a bit out of place, but the focus on driving the story forward and slowly discovering what's going on is solid.
The grammar is decent. There's a number of capitalization issues and tense changes that don't make sense, but few regular typos - it's not bad enough for it to be an issue.
The MC and everything surrounding the MC is really intriguing. Most of the surrounding characters still remain completely unknown and don't stand out for any reason.
All in all? I hope the writer returns to the story - I want to know what the hell's going on! :D
