Description

Read Full StoryHere.

Synopsis:

Down on his luck, Eddie decided to enter the VRMMORPG Chronicles Of Fantasy with hopes of becoming a powerful monster slaying, magic slinging, princess-loving player, but a round of thieves chucked him deep into the trash pit underneath Arindought. Without hope of getting out, or making a new character, he ventures forwards through piles of trash-literally. Join our paste-eating main character, a snarky but helpful system, and more than two dimensional side characters, as they explore and deal with problems within the game.

Spectacular magic? Over-sized breasts? “Onee-chan?” No, I’m sorry (Especially for the last bit). This is no drug fueled story about getting trapped in a video game with an evil AI or a cute bunny-girl harem isekai. It’s just about Eddie, his trash, and his journey in his first gaming venture.

    The story still in the early stages but so far is lots of fun. The grand story of a guy that loses a job so he gets addicted to escapism is a tale as old as time itself. But in this case it's an over price game with over priced dlc that would makeEA cream themselves. The game system itself is fun as inventive but still familiar enough to remind you why most sane people usually skip the grinding in mmo's.  The game AI is a sarcastic capitalist and I am here for it. The trash based monsters are fairly original and humorous.
    spelling and grammar is mostly fine with a few minor mistakes here and there. And Mac is funny relatable.. but maybe a little to dumb? That said, I think that's the point so while he may not be for everyone I like it
    overall 5/5 trashpandas

    One of the funniest stories I have read in a long time, and I read anywhere from 4 to 10 hours a day every day. It is super lighthearted and the MC is totally hilarious. I would definitely recommend giving it a shot. I really can't wait to I read more.

    I really like how the author wrote the story, the idea is original and he knew how to introduce comedy.
    I always prefer stories where the mc is developped before starting to developpe the world so that it gives us time to know the mc more and understand every person in the story.
    Overall i think it's a very good story, that i will definitly follow, good job author-nim

    Bla bla, it's a nice read, short, but very enjoyable, worth your time. It can really just be summarized with that but the review requires 200 words, so I'ma just keep fluffing this up real quick. If you are still reading this then just go read the story, I don't know why you are so interested in what I have to say, we could have entirely different taste, I could even be lying. Hmm, ain't that food for thought, god how long is 200 words, apparently longer than this. Welp, time rephrase what I said, the characters are likeable each of them unique charactactures in their own right, probably spelled that wrong, but not my problem, jeez. Don't be such a stickler, each of them are enjoyable in their own way, the protagonist can sometimes be, how do you say, off-putting to read simply because of how weird he actually is, but the author wrote him that way and his character is seemingly very consistent by most standards.
    Wow, I'ma never finish these words, the only thing having me keep writing this is because I feel like the author deserves another good review, I hate writing. I mean seriously, I have to be getting close by now, I'm just wanting to type 200 words, Christ, couldn't pay me to do this, think I've been doing this for like 4 minutes but it feels like 8. I understand why they have a word minimum but COMEON, this just gets boring after a while. What else is there... Class and abilities seem pretty cool, pretty funny all round, strange that he's able to fight with such high level players and seem to be contributing as much if not more than them with the latest chapter, but that's just normal protagonist weird things, you know. Bannanna, and let it be know autocorrect tried to make that a banana. Thomas had never seen such bullshit before in his life.

    The story is about an odd engineer and so far it is really funny. Along with that the side characters are defined and add to the main without takeing away from the story. Even the system A.I. is apart of the story as well. Only bad point is the spelling issues but you can look past for the story.
    Keeep.. On... Writing...

    Our protagonist is a specialist trash mage because he is in the trash heap themed dungeon where that is an easy class to gain and one that grants advantages to soloing it. That said he has aspirations to golem crafting and hopes to use the resources of the dungeon to literally make new friends. Join him as he journeys through a pay to win world while trying to spend as little as possible.

    This has a lot of 'Vaudevillain vibes so far... We are also starting to see more of how the players operate in this world.  I mentioned in another stories comments, "Melody of Wrath', that I loved how we got introduced to a culture before world building took place. Here it is more about getting to know Eddie, as a person totally new to gaming, and getting to know how he perceives his experience. And once again I think the story is better for giving just drips of world building for the sake of a better character.
    speaking as a gamer since the late 80's, he has a very helpful demeanour, so it's only a matter of time before he gets screwed for the second time in-game. His being oblivious to his advantages so far are perfect for how the player base is being introduced. I can already see Eddie being in the middle of a secret (or not so) war for his talents and unending usefulness.
    And lastly..... For anyone out there who has ever crawled over heaps of rusted scrap metal just to find the perfect imperfect piece, this will be a treat to read.

    Overall(Aka: Too Long Wont Read)
    All in all it's a really good book that I think most people would enjoy, while it is slightly more comedic than you might expect, it still retains tension when it needs to. The author does a great job of world-building and character development while keeping up a LitRPG style. Would welcome anyone to give it a read.
    Style:
    Okay, so the style is great,it flows nicely and really fits the whole theme of the story. However, I do feel that the parts where the charecters break the fourth wall takes me out of it, even though it's subtle, it just kinda feels too natural, and gives a small sense of fakeness. It only happens twice though, so it's not a big deal, and even still you can easily brush it off.
    Story:
    Story, is great, basically this professional engineer decides to start gaming for the first time, and well, by a stroke of unluckyness (or, depending on your point of view, luckyness), he gets tricked by some trolls and kicked into a trashpit where his respawn point is set. Now keep in mind that this game he's playing has only been out for a short while, so there's a lot of un-discovered stuff, which I'm geussing includes the trashpit respawn point. The rest I'll leave y'all to find out while reading!
    Grammer:
    Not much to say here, just has some qaulity grammer, no issues in sentence structure or punctuation, and certainly none in spelling.
    Character:
    Some really strong characters I have to say, especially all of the main cast. They actaully have manage to have unique charecters that wouldn't be too un-feasable in the real world, and yet still pretty funny. I will say however, they do sometimes go slightly off character, both becuase of the earlier fourth wall breaking, and at some points where you can tell the author doesn't practicularly know how they would react so it's kinda messy.

    I just started reading this book, and it is a really good start to a story. It kept me hooked and is so funny, I literally couldn't stop reading!! I love the main character of the story as he is very funny and relatable to the reader, and also the game AI which brings an element of sarcasm and comedy to the book. I'm excited to see what happens with them and their development throughout the story, but their character development so far has already been great! I love that this author is building up such a strong character, because it feels so much more real and like you can connect to the story.
    The style of writing is also very engaging and provides something unique, which is what initially caught my eye and made me read on!
    Overall the premise is very promising and an exciting idea for a book! It is very original and unlike anything I’ve ever read myself. It’s definitely something light to read which provides a good laugh. I think it’s something for everyone and has elements that almost any reader can enjoy.
    I absolutely love it! Can't wait for more chapters and to see where this book goes!

    OVERALL : It's a 5/5 for me. It's a fun world with a goofy MC and loveable side characters.
    STYLE : This is a LitRPG story with a more soft fantasy approach. We get some insight in how the world works, how things level. Since the MC isn't a gamer we are learning the rules of the game at the same time. It feels nice honestly.
    STORY : The story is familiar but distinct, and I appreciate that things aren't spelled out 100%. Far too many LitRPG/Xianxia stories now a days get bogged down in the minutiae. This is about an engineer who decides to try the latest hit VRMMORPG. In doing so he gets robbed and tossed in the trash. From there he has to survive.
    I enjoy that it is a novel angle for a LITRPG.
    GRAMMAR : There are occassional grammer/spelling errors but nothing too bad. So it doesn't throw me when I find them.
    CHARACTER : So far I like all of the characters, my only thought is the MC can be a little ditzy, cowardly, and over the top. Obviously this is the style and intended. I don't hate it though I would like to see them grow and became more driven and focused over time. I can see him changing and that is a good thing! Some people may be turned off by it but I still find him enjoyable.
