Description

Eddy messed up.

Not the minor sort like flubbing a presentation at work but thereally seriouskind that ruins lives.

You see, Eddy wished to have a system while he was drunk out of his mind. Now he’s back in his past staring down the end of the world.

That system he wanted?

Well, now he’s got to build it himself and he’s only got 15 years to do it. To make matters worse, the changes he needs to make are expensive.

Of course, there’s a way.

All it will cost is making the impending disaster he caused even worse!

Join Eddy as he struggles to find balance between making the problem worse and getting enough resources together to make a system that will see humanity survive.

This story will primarily be slice of life rather than slice the monster. You can expect to see an adult struggling with being a child again, just how much time loops would be a terrible experience, and what would happen if EA ever decided to get into the system apocalypse business.

This is a great story so far!
I get anxious over the most random things in books and TV, so it's good for me that we don't have to live through the mistake in the synopsis. It does get explained early on in the story, but that's fine with me, since I don't have to live through something that I know will be a mistake.
I love the dad. He understands what's going on fairly quickly and seems like he cares for the MC greatly. He also has what I understand to be an 'interesting' backstory, so I hope we get some of that fleshed out in coming chapters.
We haven't met most of the mom's family yet, but they sound rather intriguing as well.
I like the system so far. It seems fairly simple, but that allows for some hopefully exciting powers and character interactions in future chapters.
TLDR; This story is certainly worth a read. I'm definitely following it and hoping for many future chapters!

I like the detailed, gritty parts. It feels a bit like a free-to-play game with all the daily stuff to keep up with (in a good way). It's got some interesting ideas and a slow rollout of the story and system by design. I really appreciate that so far, it's been relatively easy for him to handle the 'real world' aspects of his situation (trying to avoid spoilers here). I will be really interested to see how the author handles any loops and the next stage.

Super cool story! The protagonist's slow descent into evil is believable and compelling. His intelligence level is believable and the problems he creates and solves are a delight to watch unfold. Character interactions sometimes feel forced, but that is easily brushed over. I can't wait to see how he deals with the newest problem he's created for himself.

The story is pretty good and potentially enjoyable my only real gripe is I feel like the name is misleading, the main character doesn't really feel like an architect of the system because most of the story is just about unlocking what already exists he's not really designing anything himself, But disregarding that the story is very good on its own merits and at most I would recommend renaming it.

I don't want to be this book's first less than 5 star review but it needs to be said. I love the concept, the MC is dedicated, there's a cool premise and tons of potential. But im gonna have to deduct points for the reactions to the MC being a time traveler. Even if the parents are the type of people to immediately believe that their child could be a time traveler, it feels like they've had a few days to think it over first and come to terms with it when they're first hearing about it. I think it can be sort of explained away by them being intelligent, but just rubs me the wrong way.
Overall though love the other stuff, 4/5 stars bit early to truly get a read on it.

I have to agree with other reviewers that dislike how the time travel is handled. It is pushes off as a non issue and concern with a resolution by the end of the chapter for each of the characters that learn. The parents don’t grieve for the loss of their child. Because he really was killed in a way. In the meantime Eddy shares the knowledge so quickly without too long to actually consider the options even if that is his best or only option in the end.

The premise is a good idea, however the MC isn't designing anything here. He's being punished and forced to work with the most ridiculously designed 'system' I think I have ever seen. He has to actively make the apocalypse WORSE just for temporary experience gains that will be completely lost when he resets. No discount or nothing for if he upgrades the purchases either so he's punished twice which is just icing on the crap cake here. I wanted to like it but the pacing combined with the 'system' actively being utter dog water to use just murdered my enjoyment.

When the story first started I really enjoyed it. It took a point of view that is rarely seen in litrpg and that's from the point of view of someone making the system while still being inside the system. So many different problems popped up in the story that he had to focus on that it left me wondering exactly what he had planned next to happen to the MC.
Well after 100 chapters the mc seems to wrap up the general design of the system and we get flung into it. This is where the tone of the story shifts dramatically. After the System pretty much goes public we see nothing about the system being designed anymore and also the mc just doesn't get anything mentioning him as the admin of it I guess you could say?
I think I could sum up the problem I face with this story by that point. Chapters 1-100 or so lived up to the namesake of the story as System Architect. Once Chapter around 100 came out though it changed focus and just wet random Litrpg you can read anywhere on the server.
Spoiler for what I hope the author is building up toward below.
I am honestly hoping that what is happening here is sorta like a test drive of the system. A few small things I noticed when reading he early part of this section made it look like the MC got a lot more xp than he shows having in the current story. This leads me to hope that he is going to live through this integration and sometime later Die or get a new do over so he can edit the system a bit to add and remove aspects to make it flow a bit better.
One major point is he might add in something like a Adventure guild system or change it so the government doesn't let people die or something. I don't have a clue what he has planned but I can only hope its something to do with him still designing the system cause its boring right now.

Interesting concept but poor execution. There are a lot of problems with this story but the biggest is it’s boring. There is no action and the way he unlocks the system is pretty uninteresting. Secondary is lack of interesting characters. Parents are unbelievably instantly accepting his story. This entire story needs a massive rewrite.

I found the story fascinating because in the beginning, how the main character had to figure out how to make the system work in order to save humanity and how the responsibly of it eventually drove him to
Kill the whole world
Was great.
But then, it got kinda weird when we got to the “last” loop.
The whole world gives up on controlling the dungeons and just regurgitate them like a dangerous Safari park, letting anyone who unlocks the system in. Somehow, nobody ends up attacking the White House or something despite having superpowers and nobody starts attacking or killing minorities because the protagonist made the system notifications all talk like whatever faith the users believe in, some people believe in monsters and demons, not all believe in good gods(most are not even good.) But when the “alien invasion” comes, there was no hint of them being hostile or anything during his end of world vision but then system says they’re invading means that they all have to be killed on sight, no mercy for what are apparently actually people from other worlds who, somehow, have worse technology than humans, despite being able to travel space long distances, and humans unite, using the power of friendship, takes over the alien worlds with almost no problem.
I lost interest a while ago and just wanted to see how it all would play out. I was disappointed with the ending basically being, “You’ll see how it all plays out in the next book series.”
