Description

Earth has been taken over by beings well beyond our control, their reason was boredom. Now, a set number of individuals have been selected based on methods and means only these beings understand to enter into pocket universes, or game worlds. The 'players' may never leave these worlds, the original story can be changed. It is ever growing and evolving, some get fairly lucky and enter simple games, like minecraft, others enter horrendous landscapes of doom, litterally, several were sent into the game Doom, and are viewed by all those on earth not forced into this arena like hell. Earn a following, earn extra prizes, die...then you die for real and another is sent to take your place from the beginning. No one knows what happens if you beat your respective game, because no one has...Me? I'm a an ex soldier, fought in the last real war against these 'Beings'. For some reason, likely a final fuck you, they have sent me into my own personal favorite ancient game, will I find redemtion, or death?

If you don’t mind the occasional grammatical error, and a big fan of Starcraft this series is for you. It isn’t with most of the hero units we all know and love but a thrilling tale of a USA soldier stuck inside of a Starcraft universe

There isn't any real way for me to describe this that would do it justice. This is an excelent story and I beleve that the author will continue to write it, potentialy until it gets to Randidly Ghosthound lenghts. It's one of those rare gems that is simply a cut above the regular royal road stories. The author doesn't even have a partrion so it's not about the money for them either. He or She seems like they do this because they enjoy writing and, while they might not be at the level of Will Wight or Brandon Sanderson yet, they have the potential to get there one day. So what are you doing still reading this review? Try it!

for a new writer , you write pretty good,the fight scene are good, the detail are nice and character feel more real, although the mc is just a normal soldier,he sure as hell managed to make it though all of that super hell mode there (the game master keep set the difficulty in hell mode plus 1 for him, at least the reward worth it though) the mc isn't perfect, but he still likeable anyway and have flaw, and the starcraft universe will not follow the cannon aside from basic setting of that universe,why ? ,here is from the chapter:
"The System generated Universe is outside of the games storylines and history. Everything that occurs within this Pocket Universe, outside the maps, is entirely new and based upon actions you make. Further advised, known Hero characters do not exist within the Universe generated by the System, unless added in through rewards."
btw the mc start all the way back in SC1 so the trips will be quite long here
the only downside is the grammar isn't that good so there will be quite a lot of grammar mistake,at least it readable and the release speed will be quite fast
of course, he will get a set back there, and the drawback become bigger thank for the "hell plus 1" so everyone reacts more negative for him if he f*ck up by still have the "gamer" mentally, it begins to show up at "Boot Camp Hell" chapter if you are wondering (if you think it unfair,read the comment from author)

This story was a... study in contrasts. Such as my foremost impression: I've got many gripes with this story, but even so, I did rather enjoy reading.
There are many developed characters with relatively well fleshed out characters, but the main character is that most horrible yet popular trope of the self sabotaging idiot savior.
The main villain was relatively novel, a gleefully malevolent intelligent alien/angel-thing which imposes gamer logic on the world and comits genocide. I've see that plot before, but not often... Unfortunately, its recently turned out the evil demon is supposed to be the good guy whos gonna save us all..!, ...despite the fact he legit plans to wipe out all of humanity until only the MC is left. But he's a good boy, we swear!
Third, I'm never quite sure whether the author knows the background of the story he's writing, or if he's just trauling the wiki randomly for ideas. Every other chapter seems to confirm the opposing hypothisis, so best guess is that he knows and has just thrown so many grenades into the setting it's a complete fruit salad.
FInally; there does not seem to be an editor either, and edits pointed out by reviewrs go largely ignored. I'd offer to help and run those chapters through a basic spelling and grammar program, but he took a vote and 55% of his 1200 readers don't care.

Started kinda okay. Not really into Mind manipulation or slavery. But thats the Whole Theme here.
MC is a slave, who is repeatedly put down but manages to overcome...
Or, at least thats the premise.
In reality, you read about a supposed War Hero, who acts like a wet behind the ears officer. He is Repeatedly Nerfed. Constantly smacked down. The "Balacning" the system does is borderline non-existent.
Biggest issue is the Side Characters. They keep putting down the MC, insulting or threatinging him. While at the same time constantly talking about how they are not close enough to not be formal in their behavior? MC constantly doubts his own actions and decisions even though he is a War Hero.
Honestly.
I keep coming back becuz I like Starcraft. I hope the potential in the story.
BUT.
Story reads like watching 2girl 1cup.
Constantly disgusted with either how the "System"/"System Administators" put down the MC, How side characters judge him when they have no right to. How the MC judges himself when he shouldnt.
UGH.

Another wonderful novel just ended without notice. "Hiatus"=Dropped
Loved the premise, I am a fan of SC. The world was well written, and I had looked forward to a conclusion in some form
