Description

The world has experienced a massive upheaval as things only believed to exist in stories appear. Dungeons and Monsters are real now, and they aren’t as amusing as they are in the novels they’re so famous from.

One day, strange holographic alerts appear high in the sky all across the Earth. A deep, mature, almost mechanical woman’s voice echoes in the minds of the people. Gaia calls out, warning the world of the realm’s awakening, and the consequences involved.

Confused and stunned, people only gape at the sky, while one boy feels as if the entire world is collapsing around him, trying to squeeze the very life out of his body. Screaming as he disappears, panic fills the hearts and minds of everyone nearby as they too scream and run.

But that isn’t the end, as the Dungeons collapse, releasing hordes of Monsters into the world, nations fall and the Earth experiences its greatest crisis in all of human history.

    Grammar is a huge problem with most authors and this story so far has had minimal problems which puts it towards the top in that regard. A good slow burn regarding the MC and his backstory of being a god. Action scenes were good but not overly descriptive. Dialogue is well done but a bit abrupt when changing perspectives. Side characters are interesting and help draw you into the story. Overall I'm very pleased with the story and will continue to follow it as it comes out.

    Really enjoying the story. Love the characters and the world building. Can't wait to read it all the way to the end. Hope you go for longer than just the write-athon. The system is one of the best I have seen so far. Looking forward to whatever stories you come up with

    This work has so far no flaws which detract from reading it, in my subjective opinion anyway since it falls squarly in the category of fiction I love. Grammar is nice too, which is a plus since I won't read literature where you have to think long periots of time about what the hell the author wrote.

    I looked my hardest and couldnt find a singular grammar mistake or flaw. Good on ya! The plot was increadibly good as well. slightly reminded me of solo leveling but not by much. It is one of the most bingeable stories ever. I thank you for making such a good book and hope more chapters come out soon!

    Still can't figure out why the novel is rated so low. I cant imagine rating it below 4 stars. Did author anger someone?
    Great story. Nicely implemented concepts. Amazing work on interface visuals. Lovable characters (Mainly MC's mom. Give her system already!)
    Sorry for spelling. English not me first language.

    I agree with most. It's pretty good. I rate it 4 stars, but if the pacing and chapter substance were better I would rate 5 stars.
    I disagree that there aren't neutral characters. The President and many others are pretty neutral. Overall it does give a kind of anime vibe. But it's such a slow burn and the author's release stability is just bad. I also get annoyed with the His, before every chapter.
    The protagonist and family are so perfect I get sick to my stomach. But that doesn't mean there's no room for character development. I do wish he would use his gifts better. Only going out once a day to dungeons when before I think he said they did 4 a day? It's a bit disappointing. I also do not like how passive he is to obvious threats to his homeworld like those insects. He didn't try very hard to warn them about it and he could have gone out there to fight himself. It wasn't even mentioned again after that.
    Some things drag on that you don't care about. Interviews and pointless face slaps that are only mildly interesting. Or they would be if not drawn out.
    Still worth keeping in the reading list, but man... Guy needs to plot outline and storyboard better.

    Edited November of 2023 to fix one word that was really bothering me, though the original review was over a year before that.

    Short review: MC is a bit bland and inoffensive and other characters are generally one dimensional and either ally or enemy with no in between. The author struggles with show, don't tell and some chapters end up lacking substance. The story hasn't gotten very far despite being thirty two chapters in. However, the grammar is good and the world building is very interesting with a lot of potential. I can see myself enjoying this a lot in the future when certain concepts get fleshed out.
    Extremely long review:
    (Grammar)
    I haven't really noticed issues with the grammar, and I'm usually pretty picky about that sort of thing. So, grammar is fine.
    (Story)
    The story's premise is a bit misleading. I came into the story with the expectation that I'd be reading something focused on character interactions more than anything else, where the MC would struggle to fit in and control his power in a world made of glass. After all, that's likely to make for the best story when your basic premise is a giant in the midst of talking ants. I may not have expected some evil overlord type, but I expected him to have an interesting, possibly overbearing personality due to, y'know, living as a god for a thousand years. None of that was the case.
    Instead, the MC's forced to seal away his powers to avoid accidentally destroying the world and is thus simply an extremely strong base human. To further the analogy, the giant has shrunk to fit in an ant hill and needs to grow again in order to expand the ant hill from within. So almost immediately, the story becomes a leveling fantasy as opposed to character focused. While this promises to add drama with the MC struggling to gain power and facing challenges; the MC still isn't challenged much, for the most part, and the tensest moment so far was right before he one shotted a dungeon boss.
