The Meaning of Life

Description

It all started with that voice. One day, a slightly psychopathic teenager named Krey heard a voice in his dream. A goddess's request, a new world, the legacies of the Divine realms, the never-ending storms in the world of Salratia. With the carefree thought of "I shall live as I please~!", Krey sets out to begin his 'otaku' dream. But it is not smooth sailing. Troublesome divine entities, mortal politics and the relationship with his new companions. How could he, a former assassin and former odd-jobs part-time high school student worker (not to mention an otaku), a perfect example of a loner (though he himself doesn't seem to realize it) be able to handle this problem? "Ei! Whatever, there's still a few more centuries! I'll go travel the world in peace!"

I like this type of setting and while some may think it is generic, I personally believe it isnt. For example, not every haunted house movie is the same so why would a novel like this one be? What matters is how it is done and I like how it IS being done. Hope the author will keep this series going. 5/5.

A beautifully done piece of work but the MC has the characteristics I hate the most, he gets sidetracked too much (even in the middle of life and death crisis ). If you don't mind that and too much explanations (seriously too much) then you will love this story.

This is one of the few stories I've found which have the op mc genre close to perfect. If I might make suggestion, that a little more indepth character development for the mc would've gone a long way for the story development.

This story has potential, but would probably need some rewriting to really shine (it's kind of like a rough diamond).
I kinda like your style and there are some nice story elements that make the world interesting.
The story tough.... nice to read at first but the random info dumps that appear in between or some scenes that are dragged out way too long ruin your pace, in this regard your story reads like an anime.
It's also a bit tedious to skip some parts just to review them later on another characters POV, you were using it right when Kiralne was battling the 3 early stage grand warriors but the POV of the exact same scene seems a bit overkill.
I would recommend doing a story line draft first of what you expect from your story and the steps that your MC is taking, his enemys that he is facing, love/harem/companions, etc.
Grammar is okay, small mistakes but everyone is making those.
The MC is likeable but inconsistent at times, the side characters are okay albeit unfortunate (with his cheat ability the MC wasn't able to cure her or give her tips to cure her status in 5 years?) but the villains are underwhelming (until now).
All in all I would say, your story has potential, it's just not motivating at the right times (try some cliffhangy situations that leave the readers wondering more often, but not every chapter!) and needs some structure.
Hope this is a bit useful to you and I would be happy to return at a later time and pick up from where I've left when your story picks my interest again.
