The universe gave me another chance after life screwed me over. My second life brought me to a world where people breath fire, walk on water and some people with special eyes that give them bullsh#t powers. Well, I got the gamer ability. And I’m gonna use it to stand at the peak. But it's gonna be a long journey before I reach that summit. SI - MC.

The gamer system. Frankly speaking, not the most thought-out system. Rather one of the worst. And if you are already familiar with it, then half of the work is already familiar to you.
This could be compensated with good humor (failure), an interesting MC (failure), a unique view of the Naruto universe (failure) or an good storytelling (failure)...... You can safely skip paragraphs (or even chapters), and not miss anything important.

Best Naruto-Gamer fanfic I read till now. (i have read dozens).
Even though story is a little slow paced (author keeps apologizing for it), it is NOT even tiny bit Boring. with great power levelling. I love it and hope to see more.
pray that the author does not drop
Really loved how the interactions between characters going...
Gamer interface is perfect and neat. (In most gamer fics, it usually kind of gets out of control as the story progresses... and become weird).

Among the sea of trash a hidden gem appears! I usually dislike fan fics but this one is unlike the rest. All the power ups seem to be well deserved and the character progression is seamless. The story is well written with no major plot holes or plot armor while still being true to the original. I can confidently say this is probably the best Naruto fan fic ever written.

Great story really love how the story flows and how you insert the plot line, the power leveling of the MC is also within a reasonable range, though I recommend the author to lessen the chapters when MC is dungeon diving and use TIME SKIPS in it for better convince for the readers.

At the moment I'm writing this review the story is still at academy levels:Despite the autor writing well and consistency, the main character is uninteresting, but the main problem I have with this story is him borrowing the 'The Gamer' System but nerfing him in some areas that it's 'ok' but massively upgrading the bonus it gives in others that absolutelly doesn't make sense at the current skill level. The autor doesn't ponder much about the effects of % effects, buffs and debuffs, the real effects of some skills and passives, for example:
The main character is not even a genin yet and he already have skills to negate %damage from any kind of damage up to 40%+ only by doing less training than rock lee and the skill is related to only his physical stats
The description of dual wielding imply that the effect can be used even without using two weapons at the same time with diferent hands

It was a good attempt at a Naruto fiction, it just had so many glaring issues that compounded, that I ended up dropping it after 222 chapter in, with almost 80 more chapters to get to the current release as of the time of this review, shows how the problems got worse instead of better. Usually you can see improvement in an amateur authors writing as a story progresses, especially as this story is over 2 years in the making but the issues only get more frequent and glaring as the narrative continued.
For starters the Gamer system, which is the main narrative engine in this story, is inconsistent and poorly thought-out. The system power-ups are ether so OP they are game breaking or so inconsequential that they can be skipped all together, you can tell the author has tried to retcon some of these issues by adding little sentences after seriously Op skills to try and make them less absurd but it usually does very little to address the long term problems of the story not reflecting the modifiers the system claims to produce.
The story could be reduced from almost 300 chapters down to less then a hundred as most of the chapters are either endless training montages, with an illogical system, or side-story/filler episodes that are really well hashed out but boring and have no narrative weight. Probably 40% of the chapters are training using the gamer system, with a poorly thought-out system, it can be frustrating to read. I think the author gets just as bored with writing about it as much as we get reading it as he has some system skills take months to learn which he chronicles in detail over a handful of chapters to having similar skills taking a day to learn and covering it from start to finish in a paragraph and then pads out the rest of the chapter by using a side character POV's to show how amazing the MC is for learning things so quick. The dungeon portions of the story are 4 to 5 chapters long each but can be skipped entirely as they are boring to read after the first couple and only give marginal stat improvements most of the time (later in the story I think the author realizes this and condenses them down to less then a chapter each).
The non-stop side/filler missions the MC is assigned have very little impact on the over arcing story and I think are a poor attempt at mixing slice of life into a power fantasy story. The missions are usually based on a Naruto filler episode with an occasional original idea but there is no real character growth during them and they serve no point narratively other then to give marginal increases in stats or for the MC to show off how amazing he is. Unfortunately this is where this author really shines as his portrayal of canon characters is actually spot on and their dialogue is believable and has very few cringe moments but the chapters do almost nothing to advance the over arcing plot and actually seem like a filler chapter that would have been better written as a time skip. Coincidentally the endless filler episodes were my most major gripe with the original anime.
The story also has the problem of being a mature take on Naruto but with the MC being a small child which creates some really weird and cringe moments, like having a 7-8 year old flirting with grown woman and they blush.... The side characters treat and talk to the MC as if he is a young adult or a late teenager so often that as the reader I forget he is like 6 years old and when I'm reminded he's a small child (which he is for the entirety of the story so far as by chapter 222 he is still only 11 or 12) it just highlights the absurdity of the conflicts and drama in the story.
As the story increases in length it suffers from more and more pacing issues with jarring POV changes or using constant flashbacks in an attempt to ramp up tension or explain how a certain situation was resolved or how the MC knows about specific information, Unfortunately it falls flat as they are written poorly and only seem to drag out an already boring situation longer or explain things that as the reader we already know.
Overall the author does a really good job writing Naruto characters and keeping the cannon feeling of the story but the meandering nature of the narritive and the poorly planned or thought-out system makes the story boring and unreadable at later points.

Around a 4.5 rounded Up, (Made at chapter 244). I think I would've rounded down, but it's kept up its quality for 200+ chapters, so 5 it is!
The story is pretty good, and uploads consistency which is always a positive.
I do really love the characters, the development of characters, the world, . Which yes is a fanfic so some of that is already built, but the author does a great job over all that and explaining, and adding a bunch of their own elements.
MCs powers I do like, well most of them I do like. He plays it smart with what he has access to, and let's people know as much as they need to.
Honestly, the only power of the MCs I dislike is
The copying... copying powers can be very hit or miss depending on the story, and they do feel like kind of miss for this one. It's not bad to negatively impact my overall experience, but being nit-picky on picking a complaint for the story, this is one.
Overall, it's a pretty good fanfic and a good story.

Story is ok, but I got bored as I find it too repetitive, train to increase stats and skills. The dungeons are also boring just fighting.

This series is really good and among the Naruto fanfics it is even more exceptional.
Some readers may find flaws with MC leveling up too fast or receiving stats in a burst but I had a fun time reading this. Plus the author has done a really good job fitting in the gamer system into Naruto universe. The way details are presented are very good. At times I was certainly troubled by excessively long list of stats and skills but it has become better over time.
There have been some semi filler chapters I felt but author has kept a good pace overall and I'll continue to follow this as I feel it'll get even better in future. Definitely recommend this simply because it is a fun read plus there are wholesome moments and much less dark/gruesome details as of now

An awesome Naruto gamer fanfic, only issue from my side was complete status which would take more than half the chapter and dungeon fights getting longer which author already addressed in the latest chapter so 5 stars from me
