Don’t worry we’ll get to a smart ass-kicking MC if you are patient, but our MC will have to build his strength and determination one step at a time, getting back up after each setback.- Not a grimdark story, but there will be a dark elements (there are a few sad chapters near the beginning of the story).- Be ready to explore the mystical world of Elydes Collapse LitRPG, Reincarnation, Character Growth, Male Protagonist, High Fantasy, Magic, Mythology, Weak to Strong, Modern Knowledge Not my cup of tea, personally. The story started off rather interesting and seemed like there was a lot going for it but it was not executed in a meaningful manner. Spoilers ahead:SpoilerLet's get this out of the way; yes the MC was born with a heart condition that limited him greatly and ultimately ended his life. I am stating this because it does not take a scholar to know that a 17 year old with 8th grade syndrome doesn't know everything there is in the world. With that said I have to be blunt and honest with how disappointing it turned so quickly. While everyone has their own ways of reacting to things, and most MC's get their reactions by how the Author would feel in the given moment, I have to call out the hypocrisy of the MC. As the MC grew up instead of taking those novels we all have read as even a soft guide, he ignores any and anything about it. Yes he meditates but he never pushes himself to swim, or to go out to hunt, fish, etc. 'Oh, but he is just a kid' Yes, but the world he lives in objectively does not give a single care about the lives of weak beings and instead of using that as motivation the MC tries to hopelessly teach kids his age about things. I have read up to chapter 36 and around the time his father was killed was when I started to lose faith and interest in this book. Now I can very much understand the crushing grief, despair, and sadness one would go through with something like that; however what does the MC do? Nothing. Doesn't do a damn thing besides constantly bitch about how unfair the world is without even attempting to fight back in some manner. I know that he had a heart condition but I with put my foot down and say 'Bullshit' to the MC not knowing even basic exercises or stretches, let alone the foreign concepts from novels that could work in his new world. That isn't the only thing he bitched about either. When his mother found him a magic teacher, or was wanting to, he persuaded her to wait until spring which I can get if the MC had a plan or something. Nope, he had nothing in mind and even as they made their way to the magic teacher's home all the MC did was whine, bitch, complain, and try to talk his mom out of basically trying to get him a foothold in the shit life they were living. I can give more leeway with the MC being a literal kid but that leeway I gave was yanked away very quick since at Chapter 15-ish the MC tells his mother that he reincarnated. Of course I can get in some stories the MC telling those close to them about them being reincarnated but this story hasn't even given itself a lick of solid foundation before throwing out that plot point that could have been used much more cleverly or just better, given time. Anyway, I am not going to continue with this novel as I am not going to do mental gymnastics to make sense of the story while the author continues to do rapid info dumps without giving the reader any time to digest it before hopping off to the next thing. I might be overtly critical about this story but it is rather frustrating to read through an MC's child arc especially when said MC should, by many merits, be able to at least not act so rashly at every choice or challenge thrown their way. I may or may not revisit this but with the author, in my plain words, ruining the potential of revealing his reincarnating so early; I do not think I will unless I hear very positive things about it. Story: 3/5Writing Quality: 4/5World Background: 2.75/5Character Design: 3.5/5 Stopped reading around 40 chapters in. It's good, full life story with system but the problem is it barely started. MC is 10 in the last chapter. I advise to wait at least 100 more chapters(until chap 250) Зашел на сайт вечерком и испугался 140+ новых глав #panic# chapters are repeating #panic# The chapters are repeating again. I also noticed this ouring with another book. Recommend something similar! Because there are no chapters yet. The Elder Lands (A Kingdom Building LitRPG)The Slave's Son Saga [Grimdark Progression Fantasy]The Immortalizer by WagenarDeadman (Book 1 Stubbed, Book 2 to be stubbed December 1st) (the first book should be searched separately)the spirit of adventurism and adventure is the same. not on this site. my build, enjoy Don’t mind my comment, just wanna save these recommendations If you want to be in mc's head constantly at cost of actual story progression this is for you. Mc is also constantly complaining or being annoying. Story could be ok, it's just written in horrible way. It's like reading mc monologuist about things, instead of things actually happening. idiot people disliking the comment when they didn't even read it properly..your comment is accurate A good novel but not without having some things I am not fond of: he made some decisions that could bite him in the back (telling his mother some things that should have not been told),there is a limit to the skills one can learn etc)other than that this is a good novel. Cara um romance que atualmente eu estou gostando é esse https://ranobes.top/novels/1205572-the-reincarnated-assassin-v741610.html O prota é transmigrou e não sabe o básico, em uma pandemia na ilha. Claro que iam bater na casa dele, ele não se preparou para nada? Nem uma arma para se defender. O mais lógico nem na vida normal se entra num beco, até na rua vazia é difícil. Ele foi só para apanhar. O conhecimento dele básico poderia criar uma receita de comida e vender na cidade. O mais frustante é que ele ficou parado vendo o pai dele morrer. Reencarnou para nada, deixou o pai dele morrer. Mesmo sendo normal. E vai falar que o mundo dele não tinha referência de magia que ele realmente precisa de professor. Só Dragon Ball é o básico para magia. Não que todo reencarnado é foda. Mas conhecimento é poder. Ele não usou nada do que aprendeu de sua vida passada. Acho que até o pai dele foi burro, as coisas piorando ele também não fez nada para proteger a casa. Ficaram parados para ser abatidos. Milagre que foi os badidos fugirem depois de matar uma pessoa, bandido normal mataria todos.
