All the books have easter eggs that fill in the others, very neat story writing. Excellent and clean writing style with thought going into character and story building. This is a seasoned writer with good prose and digital skillz.
Good story exploring another new angle of how magic functions and flushing out another aspect of the multi book story arc. I read the old one up to the last chapter before the rewrite (57). There is blacksmithing, some looting, figuring out hidden puzzles of the characters, the city and the whole world function. The writing seamlessly interweaves concepts relating to AI, consciousness and logic into the magic, individual character growth and litrpg system development and exploration, and of course finding ways to use the System at a deeper level then other characters. Also hints that while the main character is special in their own way, there world is built in a way to have intelligence and power matched against them well enough to keep the progression engaging and fun to follow.
My one quip is the more recent stories tend to hit transition points where the storyline outgrows the plot and while I can see how it gets harder to keep the built up personalities and plot value system balanced against the vast storyline that interweaves with other stories I would love to see more focus to added to the existing storylines. I also understand that inspiration comes as it pleases and everything here is always filling in the complex yet functional universe anyway which takes a lot of planning and care => THIS IS A FEAT WORTHY OF 6 OUR OF 5 STARTS IN AND OF ITS SELF.

I'll admit I was a bit put off at first by some aspects of the narrative style, but it was no great hurdle.
The characters are believably flawed and interesting, and the depth of speculation to be had on the setting is an excellent hook. I wish I had the money to read ahead on the patreon, but I can content myself with awaiting each new chapter eagerly.

I was thoroughly enjoying the previous version of the story, then the rewrite dropped.
I understand the need to fix up stuff to make more sense down the line. Not to mention iron out anything left out.
Anyways, the story is effin great, it has a dragon kin as a blacksmith and other stuff you'll read as you go on. Writing quality is top notch and I really felt for Dave right in chapter 1 when something happened. Keep going.

A part of a complex world with so many attaching points. Read all of these novels for a wild ride thats a totally brain tickler. Highly recommend. Gotta try all of them they all attach to each other. Especially romantically apocalyptic attaches to all of them. Not much more to say but this is requiring 50 words so lets see if this works.

I had read to chapter 51 and it getting better (for now still need to read more to judge properly, I'm at work so only quick review). So far if you did read those 'ROB' type of self-insert story then this story give a Unqiue twist to their nature there (which other review had explain more clear). The character do have their own personality, secret and their own flaw that understandable the more you read on. the plot tend to set in situation of 'falling from the frying pan into fire' but at least done in a good way without cause reader to burn out from it (or get trap into the vicious cycle of 'one step onward, two step back' type of progress reader hate about). The litrpg part also explain well with the magic-soul bond equipment thing so thing doesn't come out of nowhere like most litrpg story
If you are not sure if it suit for you or not, try to at least read about chapter 7~12 before judge it, (slight spoiler after this) If you don't like certain dragon girl then at least chapter 25 explain for her negative, and if you drop right on chapter 31 due to mc being a d*ck/self-righteous then try at least to end of chapter 36 and chapter 41~42. He got drop from the 'high horse' and at least the misunderstand solved.
p/s: 5 start to deal with those hater who drop on any new Rising Start novel without even read past chapter 1, for now

This is a new take on isekai for me, where the system is provided by a soul-linked artifact and not just a product of the world. I like it!
It has a good spread of action, adventure and character building and development as our MC learns more about the world and its working.
Grammar, spelling and syntax are almost always perfect, and the occasional addition of art is a nice helper for visualising people and places.

This story is a ride through different scenarios during the first chapters, the arrival of our protagonist in the new world is a harsh one. I was quite upset by all that horror and really considered to drop this read.
However, once he comes into the new setting where he finds himself by chapter 3, on my! How the plot and characters enfold from then on is so amazing, I am glued to this story ever since. For me, just beautiful writing of a very high quality.
And this talented author even supplys us with incredible Illustrations enriching the story.
So very well done.
Vitaly is an amazing writer, whatever story he comes up with is worth reading. So, ob if you happen to like one of them, you should certainly try all the other ones.
This one, I like it because our MC faces impossible problems, but somehow solutions appear.. And I absolutely Love our dragon lady blacksmith.
Yes, the other lady in his life is intriguing, too. However, I still cannot decide if she is the tragic character or the savour. So, the vote for her us still out there.
What I am hoping for is the total annhiliation of the evil dragon emperor. I would just love to see und distruction of hin and bis empire of horrors.

Another amazing story from Vitaly. Great art, interesting story and charming characters.
I always loved Snippy's interactions with Pilot and I'm really happy to see them here. Their duplicates don't act the same, but it's still fun to watch them argue or to just talk. If only Engie wasn't the creator of the Annet and his soul would be copied to different worlds and Dave could find hus duplicate soul... *Sighs*

This has to be one of the most original uplift tales that I've had the privilege of reading.
The world definitely has a feeling of having been lived in. You get to explore the consequences of generations and generations of eternal war between ridiculously powerful mad beings. If anything the world setting compares favorably to the starting arc of Li Yao's "40 Millennia of Cultivation" in that respect, but unlike that has managed to hold the plot together (admittedly over a much shorter run so far).
The characters have feelings, and speak with different voices. Legitimate conflicts of interest ensue. Admittedly, our plucky protagonist seems a little too successful in some of his endeavors, but the scope of what he's up against seems to make it balance out.
I love the juxtaposition of wholesome, uplift and horror.
To hit all the detailed review points: Perfect grammar. The plot seems to have benefitted from whatever rewrite process it went through. (I didn't read the original.) Characters are great. Cedez is best girl. I'll admit I thought Remicra was a bit cartoony at first, but she's grown on me as well.
Well worth the read, and I'm heading off to Patreon as soon as I finish this review to get just a little bit further ahead.

I liked this book before the rewrite. Interesting mix of drama and slice of life which makes for a good story with reasonable chapter pacing.
Try it out for yourself.
grammar and spelling are excellent in this rewrite. The first few chapters are perhaps the hardest to read. Especially the early part of the story in the new world. Not a pleasant place and it is reflected. Get past that and the book is worth waiting for.
