Description

After dying, our main character found himself summoned by a young woman. She comes from a long line of summoners and had expected to partner up with a powerful being, like the rest of her family. Instead, she summoned a computer programmer, who from now on will be living inside her head. Powerless, he's unable to help her with the upcoming war. Disappointed that neither of them had been blessed by fate with some divine abilities, he decides to build a computer system inside her head himself.

No real crtisisms towards this one. System is fin enough, and there's actually some usefulness shown from Jushua being a programmer and all. Making it all himself was actually a pretty original bit to have, so good on you for that.
Didnt like all the puns but I've never liked that stuff to begin with, so I guess I cant really check that off as a negative thing. Overall a solid fiction. 5/5

Greetings!
First off I would like to say that your story is one of the most origional plotlines and world gen i have seen in a long list of stories I have read. However...
latly with the long hiatus and now 2 seperated chapters with such small content, i don't know what to say.
You do yourself and your readers a disservice when you treat a story this way. If you are having issues with your muse ask us! your followers can through ideas at you to help get back on track and get yourown ideas flowing again. If it is real life, let us know and release a bigger chapter once a month or 2. those of us who read understand that RL gets in hte way.
I hope that you understand and hear, I love this story, i do not wish for it to fade away like so many others. I hope for you to finish it and many many more sequals!!
Thanks again for all your hard work, please contact me if i can be of assistance, and hears hopeing to more soner and longer!
Your fan

This is a pretty interesting little story, and I can't wait for more.

Story is very good and I have strong hopes it either continues here or this is a flash pre-view for a book. As I always worry when I see a number of chapters dumped on RR at the same time of when or if the next chapters will come out.
Pros: Easy reading with little to no grammer errors. Story flows smoothly from one chapter to the next. Characters are likable in the goody two shoes way while the situation around them is 'complicated'.
Cons: MC is too accepting of his situation and lack of questioning on his part about the nature of guardian spirits (which is what he becomes). MC is a bit one dimensional in his character vs all the other characters introduced so far. Hopefully this issue will be resolved in later chapters. Not enough about programming and the "system".
*I plagiarised parts of Robertp3001 review due to agreeing with a bunch of his points.

Its a nice story with some new, some old and some strange elements in it.
It has Plot Characterdevelopement and funny scenes so give it a try.
Spoiler: minor spoiler
But you will notice that the MC has a lack of social interactions and therefore some stupid/awkward dialogue appear.

Title: System Programmer
Genre: Fantasy, Action
Protagonist: a programmer from a sci-fi world. and a girl that summoned him
Setting: a xianxia world. with cultivation, where you cultivate your body and soul to reach higher ranks. it might not be a xianxia world, but it feels like one.
Tension Level: mid-high
Basic Premise: a sci-fi programmer was summoned to a xianxia world as a guardian spirit, now they (the spirit and the host) have to get as strong as possible and as fast as possible.
Chapter Content: how the spirit use his power to get stronger (together with the girl), how they deal with some problems like assassins, attacks, and summon from the king.
Chapter Reached: 30
Personal Opinion: pretty good, I like programmer protagonist and his powers. I also like the girl, it's rare to see a good guy protagonist here (I mean the girl).

★★★ 2.5
Started off with a lot of potential but fails in many painful ways.
It is strange that simply toggling visibility can create a whole body, some strange magic going on there, but fine .. perhaps a more complete/reasonable code sample would distract from the story or something.
The story really starts to fall apart when the Crow is involved, a conflict with a god ensues. There is no good motivation why a god would care (and yet it does and goes thru all these convolutions) and yet the all powerful god is pitifully deflected by the MC, an entity with the comparative power of an ant to an elephant. The MC is put in a lot of danger by plot contrivances and yet saved by impentrable plot armor of invincibility so strong i can actually see a shadow of it while reading.
The Mc is rapidly losing any agency he has in the story by being made a subject to the whims of these powerful entities that intervene seemingly at random. It feels like the actions of the Mc matter little because anything he does can be made irrelevant if one of the 2 powerful entities shown thus far would actually spend some very minute effort.
The great ancestor going thru all the pains to sabotage all of humanity is also completely illogical.
The grammar is fine, but as long as the grammar is not terrible it doesnt really matter, the story does.

★★★ 2.5
Honestly the premise is interesting, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired.
The protagonist talks a lot about programming and a little later on, electricity. Unfortunately the writer writes about programming as if they heard how programming works from a friend one time, and writes about eletronics/electricity as if they'd never completed a science course.
A list of other things that make no sense:
The author uses "voltage" and "current" wrongly everywhere at all times
The programming metaphors are absurd and nonsensical
The MC's "assistant" knows how to do things that MC doesn't and never learns how to do
Use of sonar to detect living things. (Also sonar can't see "behind" objects so it would be absolutely useless in a forest.)
A quick rant about the lack of electronic sense:
Spoiler: Spoiler
The most grating inaccuracy so far is the continous mix up of voltage and amperage. The author talks about how a generator only produces "10 volts" but that's not how generators work at all! For example you can buy dozens of different kinds of generators for your house, but no matter how big or small they'll all produce "house voltage" (120v in the US) what's different is the AMPERAGE.
Later the author talks about building a transformer, and when finally using the word "voltage" would be correct, he or she switches to "current" which is largely incorrect! Current means amperage, and usually transformers are used to step voltage up or down which is only loosely related to amperage...
If the author would replace every usage of "current" "voltage" and the worst one "current voltage" with "wattage" almost everything would make sense, but as it stands its driving me nuts.

I found Book 2 to be repetitive and lacking in character growth. I think I was expecting him to become human and start romancing what's her name.

The entire story hinges on a massive plot hole, which is quite disappointing. There are other problems I might ignore if the plot was not so messed up. If you want to know why I rated it so poorly, read the spoiler.
Spoiler:
At the start, there is the summoning of a familiar. He is a ghost programmer, but strangely weak. This causes an investigation in which the father of the summoner finds a hidden set of runes was used to do this. He is exceptionally angry, but that is about it. The runes were set up in one day, which is how they got around all the family security.
Then, a few chapters later, it comes out that 1) Nobody knows runes. 2) To write just one rune takes one of the three rune masters a year to make. So a completely new array of runes is impossible and would take decades to draw. The rest of the story is dependent on this.
In other words, the MC can't be the MC because why the MC is the MC is impossible! Thus, the entire story is based on a massive plot hole.
