I've already read up all the way to the latest chapter: Chapter 21. Our main character has been portrayed to be a decent person whose heart of gold becomes more obvious in recent chapters. He also displays relatability from time to time, showing how human he is rather than being tethered to some sort of character archtype/stereotype. He's not cringy or edgy, he's just right. He may have some problems that he had been burdened with, but he's dealing with them just fine. He's growing as a character, and we're still getting to know him.

Something I'd like to add: Ignore Vashu269's review and comment somewhere under Chapter 21. Honestly, the dude probably just dislike stories with 'good-guy' protagonist. His problem with the story just seems illogical to me. It just seems to me that he prefers the level-headed type of characters who has no qualms with looking away from trouble of others: someone selfish. That kind of character is not the kind of person the protagonist is, and it had honestly been hinted awhile back and now it's expected. Vashu also seems to ignore the fact that our protagonist is a 2-in-1, and he has has memories from his past life where he was raised by bad people whom he doesn't want to be like. Him ignoring someone in clear danger would make him a hypocrite. Anyone who reads this review of mine could go read more on what I have to say somewhere under the comments of Chapter 21; read my replies to Lynet.

The story is good, though the speed of leveling up of the protagonist is a bit fast for my opinion, the rest of the story flow is actually great in my taste.

Spoiler

It went down hill, he is trying to be a hero, I stopped mid chapter when he decided to help, it was a good read I had my fun but that moment ruined it.

Monster is something at level 13, 4 level higher than him, and he wouldn't have helped him if it were previous him but now he had a family who loves him so he decided to help him, wow what logic, Bravo (sarcasm)

His initial purpose for entering labyrinth was to level up and protect them (family) and he would be cautious while fighting, which was good but that cautious just disappeared.

Before entering did he consider what would happen to his family if died that, they are waiting for him to come back home and he for a STRANGER just put happiness of his family at stake.

It is inconsistent with his character, author if you are planning to go hero just straight tell in info, what a disappointment, just change the title to villain trying to be hero and who only rambles that he loves his family but his action prove otherwise.

Very contradictory in writing.

Spoiler

MC spends the entire novel being an obnoxious edgelord like being dismissive to this one cheerful girl for two reasons.

1. He doesn't want to be in the plot which doesn't make any sense, since he's making sure he's stronger than the main character.

2. He's a "villain" even though we know as the audience that the mc's soul isn't evil, Lukas himself isn't actually evil, and according to the girl that keeps pestering him, he has a pure soul, even more so than the Vanitas Online's protagonist.

So in spite of having no actual reason to not be a hero all this time he's acting like an edgelord, he still wants to stay out of everything. Which is fine, if that's the kind of story this wants to be with a main character trying to pursue strength but escape the duties of heroism, that's the kind of story it is...

Anyway, in the last few chapters he saved people on two different occasions, all while pretending he's not actually trying to be a hero.

This story is very well written! It honestly surprises me what the author is able to write with good details and explanations, I think it seems like a very well writen story, though the MC could be a little out of character given current events, I think he´s going well in a direction of not loosing himself to his past again, given that those 4 years of going behind Rose did a number on his mental state, and now he seems to want to move on and grow for himself and his loved ones, a pretty nice objective for him, only complaint would be not seeing other perspectives more, like with stella or the vampire girl, otherwise I can see this story being a very good read!

P.s. He really shouldn´t be reckless in the labyrinth unless circumstances oblige him to, otherwise he would be a suicide hero more than anything, and that would contradict him being cautious as hell like we have been shown in the past regarding his level, family and such.

Very good combat scenes. &Nbsp; When it comes to pvp in games you just know what a good fight is like and I like how the author takes the time to flesh out the combat scenes so that you can believe the MC is talented from their experience and intuition. Sucks that the author probably dropped this story but otherwise its a 4/5

Great story, great writing. I want more. I hope the author hasn’t given up on this novel.
