Description

I was a gamer. I earned my living by playing games and power leveling accounts for other people. My life was -as you could say- the ideal. Everything was perfect... Until the day I died by falling down an open manhole. Now I've been reborn. With the body and skills of the last character I played, I set off to find a way to feed my only addiction: leveling up characters. Warning: Mature [15+] for Strong Language and occasional Violence

I will be posting a mildly edited version of this novel on Qidian/Webnovel one chapter a day. Nothing but quick fixes. No bonus content, either. Read it here on Royal Road to see updates first.

Release Schedule is 1 chapter every day except Sunday. I'm writing 2 a day and posting the excess on my patreon for now. Releases planned for 5 pm EST.

    DIRECT TO THE POINT STORY WITHOUT ANNOYING P.O.V THAT CAN DISTRACT THE FLOW. AND ITS FULL OF VAGOR WITHOUT LAME MOMENT.

    No too much hardwork becoming OP from the start
    No Tragedies for the MC to step forward and take the road to OPness
    Not much details to remember
    And Im looking forward reading more chapters in the future :)

    A well-written story about an OP MC with a good sense of character development....
  • NecrotechianRoyal Road
    ★★★★★ 4.5
    read the whole thing (27 chapters + 4 intermission chapters ) in few hours since the chapters are short (and my reading speed is slightly above average) but based on dates come in quite rapid pace.
    this is a story where the MC is OP and i do mean really OP from the start and is a bit concernd how weak everyone in the world is... espacialy the friends she makes.
    the bits with other peoples point of view are quite nice
    didnt really notice any grammar misstakes or anything like that

    Good start followed by us just knowing what's going to happen early on, with good humor of course.
    Well written, can't say I come across any errors in the authors writing and the story flows smoothly.
    The characters so far are pretty nice, interesting mainly in regards to what they'll do next as well as the possibilities as always.
    Over all right now I just really like the potential this story has at the moment and am looking foreword to the future chapters.

    The chapters are a bit short, but this is offset by two things: a) each chapter ends at a natural stopping point (or cliffhanger), and b) there is a rapid release of more than one chapter per day.
    The chapters also don’t provide as much detail as I might like, but they do hit all the major points of the story and provide enough narrative that keeps you going and become VERY interested.
    I have to agree with a previous poster who mentioned that a main character who is overpowered and is trying hard to learn how to control their powers is an interesting theme.  It makes for a nice change from the weak trying to become strong.
    Currently at  chapter 22, this is rapidly becoming one of my favorite stories here on Royal Road. =)

    Yo, Koala. I finaly decided to see if your story is really as good as it apears to be from traffic here. And, dear viewers, I can assure you it is.
    I have to seriously say, this story is sorta fascinating.
    There is little to dislike about style, only thing is that sometimes, when changing perspective, fact that change of perspective is unannounced causes small disturbance in atmosphere your story creates and feel unnatural. However, announcements of perspective change can often feel much more unnatural than their lack, so only half star down for style.
    Story idea is great. It is not original genre, but it connects some ideas in unusual and original ways. Guide Solution is sort of interesting. Only reason I don't give 5 stars is that you did not manage to convince me teleportation trick against our MC was not deus ex machina. It just feels absurd to have prince be prepared to this extent in such weak world.
    I do not comment on grammar for I have no right to do so.
    So to only really big fault of this series, characters. I will not say your characters are bad. Lot of characters can be badly designed to the point where there cannot exist person with that kind of personality, yet be refreshing. Fact that your characters act nonsensicaly on few occasions is little problem, but I could easily ignore that. However, there is big problem of their inconsistency. It often feels like characters, mostly MC, have unknowingly schizophrenia, and have many personalities inside. They just don't feel consistent. It is not completely at point where I would put this great read away because of it, but I think you should work on that.
    Overall rating would be 4.1 stars. Yeah, it is not equal to average of specific ratings. Judge me. It is great read, would read again, after you fix some problems with characters, you can easily turn it into bestseller. At least fans of jap pop culture will love this series with passion for sure.
    That's about it. Keep sending chapters.

    this is one of upper tier story in this site i think but the character is fuckable
    he has 2 personality sometime say i will not bow down bla bla bla bla and then cries when he killed? sin? (im not talking about when he lose his control over the body but when he in control )
    like shit personality that make bad drama make this novel a litle bit not enjoyable for my taste
    u should decied wether you will make him a litle bad ass with ideal or something like japanesse LN stuppid idiot air head of a mc with gigantic luck not some mc that didnt even have personality at all
    (the point is be clear about mc personality)
    for immortal-otaku this is not kind but like dont have personality at all pridefull and kind is not the best blend ( unless he is tsundere )

    This was a fun read. I didn't find myself getting bored and could follow through along with the characters. I'm not going to sit here and point out any flaws, every story has its weak points. This story doesn't seem forced and is very unique.  I have to say I enjoy the reactions the MC gets out of her supporting characters. Overall it was a nice relaxing, humorous story.
