Enter EverRealm, where danger and opportunity coexist
A place for the most ruthless and daring souls
Where you can become strong or die a miserable death
Luck doesn’t exist, only power and the ability to grasp it
Those that are weak have been washed out by the tides of time
Leaving only the strong to fight

This is my first time writing a review for a novel, and honestly, I only wanted to do this because I think this story has been quite overlooked. Despite the low number of reads and reviews, it's much better than many novels that are rated highly on various sites.
It may not be the best, but I can say that you won’t waste your time, as long as you like what I’ll mention below.
MC (Main Character) – I can say he’s one of the best characters I’ve ever seen and liked. He’s hardworking, a bit crazy (okay, maybe more than a bit), sarcastic, clever, and someone who will try every possible way to achieve his goal.
Story – To be honest, there are a lot of things I’m curious about and some gaps that need to be filled, but I believe they’ll be explained in future chapters (hopefully).
Aside from that, the story revolves around the MC traveling to different worlds, completing tasks, and getting stronger. I must say I enjoyed everything except the "Fairy Tales" section (which is the latest part at the moment).
System – It’s neither too complex nor too simple.
I enjoy reading novels with well-constructed systems, and while this one may not be perfect, it has its own logic and structure. As long as you don’t get too caught up in minor details, I’d say it’s a simple and well-functioning system.
Lastly, there’s no harem, ecchi, romance, or foolish characters in this novel.
The MC might seem like an OP character at first glance, but as you read on, you’ll realize that he’s just making good use of what he has (I couldn’t figure out how to explain this without spoilers).

I'm honestly surprised at how little people are reading this masterpiece.
If you like ruthless protagonists its gonna be for you.

This is a gem that I personally think deserves much more attention than what it's getting right now.
This isn't even my main reason of enjoyment (though without it, it would definitely lower) but I'd like to start by clarifying something you can also read in other reviews of this story.
(The incoming segment was made based on the reviews I saw on Royal Road rather than here, in case you're wondering what other reviews I'm even talking about, and reorganizing the whole review to make this have sense here on scribblehub before dropping it here is too much of a bother)
Yes, the MC is constantly very powerful and capable of surpassing the many hard challenges he encounters throughout the story, but calling him OP GREATLY downplays what he actually has to do to survive those challenges in my opinion.
For some clarification, this is a World-Hopping story where a character goes to many different worlds (in this particular case to complete some specific objectives).
Main point here is that, at least until now, he's only ever arguably been the most powerful person inside one of the worlds he went only a single time at the start of the story, and even then he wasn't powerful enough to push through everything and had to heavily strategize when his objective was to target a small army of about 100 men, and that's nothing compared to what he'll have to push through in future arcs.
I'm not considering the small virtual game arc, especially since despite being so above everyone else he still got totally owned by the end.
He always has to try the impossible and dare more than any other person would do in the same situations as him to come out in top, saying he's just OP gives a completely different impression of the story compared to what the actual contents you can read here are in my opinion.
Now with the elephant in the room addressed, time for my main point from which this review title comes from.
You can almost NEVER guess the developments direction when reading the story, be it when the MC just arrived to a new world, to midway through that same arc, to like 2-3 chapters before he leaves said world for good.
It's persistently unpredictable, and this shouldn't be misunderstood to this story plot developments being random, that's not what I mean at all.
Every time a different course is unexpectedly taken it's not something that has absolutely no foundation to happen, it totally makes sense.
What's done very well by this story (so basically what allows this kind of writing freedom to be possible) is constantly having premises sure solid but also very malleable, able to be used, changed and twisted in reasonable ways to always keep a well structured plot in movement, all of that without ever reaching a point where the story, no matter how good, can only travel towards a single direction.
When I open a chapter, I can't ever guess if it's either:
- The one where out of nowhere the premise I was gaining foothold on is going to be flipped to a new direction even more entertaining to wrap my head around.
- The one where the development I've been hyped to read as soon as possible are going to happen.
Obviously I'm not saying that chapters who function as interlude and setting stuff up don't exist, but they're definitely a big minority, and even then, they'll never have absolute 0 progression inside.
And all of this also flawlessly extends to both the worlds and characters you'll find inside the story.
I won't dwell on this to much mainly to evade making spoilers and also to keep my review more focused towards my most favourite aspects, but so far, be it worlds or characters, both, depending how relevant they are, always manage to get very strong identities supported by (in the case of Worlds) varying Lore and World Buildings and (in the case of Characters) good and always fresh ways of Character writing.
I've yet to feel even once like the story should go back to precedent chapters premises, what's newly introduced so far has always managed to stand alongside more early explored parts of this ever expanding cluster of unique worlds and their colorful inhabitants.
Changing topic, another good aspect here to me is that beyond the story in general, the chapters are structured very well, almost always wrapping something up by the end leaving the reader with a yes, obvious need to reed more of the story by moderate cliffhangers and overall enjoyment, but also a small sense of fullness, they never feel like having eaten an half plate, it's always a full lunch/dinner, one of the main reasons why I've been easily able to follow this story for multiple months after catching up.
Finally, great props to the writer for having a really stable schedule for chapter releases.
(to my experience it's every 2 and sometimes, very very rarely 3 days)
it's definitely not something to be expected (especially from a story that after over 100 chapters still isn't getting the kind of attention it absolutely deserves) so it should really be addressed and complimented here.

Action pack novel. Love the action and no stretching cliff. You get conclusion in the next chapter or 2. Try it.

For anyone who read Reincarnation Paradise and likes it, this is for you. MC is crazy when it comes to situations where death is almost guaranteed. Smart but sometimes doe's questionable things that goes against something he wouldn't normally do.
