I give it 2 stars for good grammar and good effort. MC is an idiot to put it easy. Selects mage but acts like a warrior. Doesn't learn from past mistakes but keeps making them. If you are a fan of idiots being mc's. Then you will like this story. System or guide is meh at best. Personally MC should be killed off and story should jump to another character's pov and start "semi-fresh". With comments that criticize the story the author will block you after insulting you as well.

Story is ok but have flaws and is very slow. Stop reading cause MC sucks and talk alot nonsense.
MC duel class is not something new and interesting. His mage class give him elements which is quite normal. While the warrior class is useless, just make him more tanky. He is just an elemental monk...
MC get legendary item and cant use....
Alot of skills are just passive and of no use, probably cause MC has alot of skill slots.
Also lv 1 to 10 very boring cause only got 1 skill and MC repeats it. Like wtf wasted about 30 chapters.
Also alot of filler dialogue about MC talking nonsense. MC is also annoying and dumb.
MC after duel class LV very slows, should be faster. As even if double exp required, the monster are higher lv and gives more exp. MC LV like 4 times slower.

i liked it more it was a good read the only thing I didn't like was the personality of the MC I think it's very boring and the comedy spoils the story because he seems like he doesn't take the fights seriously making boring and annoying jokes he looks like a boring kid who doesn't shut up and I don't want to change that, I don't know and because I'm old but I find it unbearable that he doesn't take something that could make him lose his life seriously making jokes and acting on impulse and not persar, and also because of his personality of not shutting up and rationalizing him losing information that was just for him not to take it as a joke, like in the beginning that he kept making jokes with the ADM irritating her not to give information and wasting time for questions. I found the universe interesting but I think what spoils this story is the MC who doesn't take anything seriously and keeps making boring reference jokes and all the time being foser one time or another would be good but all the time makes him look like a child and not an adult from 26 - 27 years old.
may have some errors due to being in google translator

Was a great story but in a few chapters went straight downhill:
-a "pet archetype" is introduced (this alone deserves a 1 star) and more or less takes over all intelligent thought in MC's head (what is worse than "pet archetype"? "Pet archetype" + author self insert (at least Im lead to assume this is the case as "The Thing" says you are stupid to this point everything that you did was stupid do what I want you to and MC is like "sure"))
-luck and RNG is kind of important but the good luck MC got to offset his triple nat 1 is brushed under the bed as bad and you can't use this.
-after searching for good skill stones the abovementioned "pet archetype" forces MC in a scene of great character assassination to use the crap common and uncommon ones (he wasn't even struggling to survive or anything like that it made him use one and then "author totally not bs" turned him into a skill junkie)
TLDR; Starts good --> "pet archetype" is introduced --> all goes downhill --> I write angy rewiev --> you are reading this --> now

pretty good novel!
binge-read it in one sitting and didn't even notice the time.
MC is pretty enjoyable with his hilarious meme and anime references, I just hope that in the future chaps there will be more hints of romance and that the author wont drop this series

Story follows a self proclaimed gamer who has no knowledge of game mechanics. MC makes terrible decisions and uses demented logic to justify them. There is a system of course because this is the easiest way to introduce magical elements, saying that its boring and overdone is an understatement. Story itself is written very poorly, leaving spelling mistakes and use of incorrect words aside, events are depicted very chaotic and with no introductions or other elements to keep them grounded, you just get thrown from one incoherent mess to the other. As a bonus, if you point one of the many failings of this novel, author will block you, he most likely see himself as a hero of this story and his fragile ego can't take the criticism.

I read a lot of negative reviews which turned me off from this story initially but after a while I gave it a go and it turns out that I really enjoyed it.
I love the MC is quite funny but I get that he probably isn't for everyone. I like the mix of action and worldbuilding. I love how the characters feel believable to me and they don't all act like the are children. Even the characters (mc) who do act like children you can see it's more of a coping mechanism for what's going on than anything else. Under the hood they are enjoyable and believable.
All in all I would recommend for people who like the whole week to strong MC type stories. I saw they had a tag for Harem but so far I haevan't seen it and the author has mentioned that they don't really want to write explicit content.

Definitely one of the better LitRPG novels out there, it is complex yet easy to follow. The side characters are super developed and interesting. The only thing I cannot yet comment on is if this is going to be a good harem story or not... we have not come to any romance at this point. Lets hope for the best! As for romance and harem [chapter 59] there is none and it looks like it wont be around for some time to come.
PS, good use of memes!

Just finished the second volume, reaching the end of the tutorial.
Drake went through a whole lot and you can see him grow both physically and mentally. The side characters also go through some character development and the interactions between them and Drake get more fun throughout the story.
This is a proper example of a litRPG, reminding me a lot of Primal Hunter. The classes, items, quests and other system related stuff are on point. They are explained well and not too much. Same with the status, you are not constantly spammed with exp numbers and math equations.
There are lots of cool battles and there is also (war) strategy involved. Good balance between battle chapters and crafting or social chapters.
I'm excited to see what will happen back on earth!

Really disappointing, I love the world but the MC ruins it. Also not sure why this has the harem tag or romance tag. Yes the MC does end up with a girlfriend at some point but there's no development there, I can't even say she's badly written or annoying, it's like she's not even there.
