Meh, like others have stated, this novel seemed to be overhyped. I think this novel is currently on the top 5 in the rankings here in novelupdates. (Sometimes I don't get how the novels are ranked here on this site, for I actually disagree with the order, especially with the top 2 being TDG and ATG).

The novel itself seemed to have a good premise, but the actual story seemed a bit bland and boring for my taste. The character is just OP in everything, without even actually having to struggle... more>> or try hard. The story flow for me, has no real hook, and is more like a slice of life than that of an action story.

I don't see any real urgency or benefits to the MC's actions, it's just like a grinding advancement, for no real purpose. The comedy in the story is a bit bland for my taste as well, and the character interaction is something that I just mostly want to skip.

I mean it's not that horrible, but it's not really good as well. So I guess if you're bored, it's something you can read. However, it's really a far cry to "must read" novel that others have described it as. In my opinion, it's just on the mediocre side. <<less

The fact that the MC is a sad loner who's unable to carry out any form of social interaction is perhaps the most pathetic excuse for not writing any compelling characters. It seems everyone except the angels and MC are unexisting in the story. A lot of the side characters seem like they should have a bigger part in the story than just being side characters, but in the end, he never really talks to them, so no relationship is properly formed and they're just brought up whenever the author... more>> needs them for something. Perhaps side character isn't even the correct word, they're more like extras.

Yes, he talks to angels, but the angels are boring as f*ck too. At least where I'm at in the novel, both of the angel characters sticking near him, have fallen in love with him just from looking at him working, or at least that's how they realized their feelings. It makes no sense and is one of the worst written potential harems I've ever seen. I say potential because, guess what, MC's sad ass character shines through again and he's a dense ass virg*n alike one you might see in a japanese lightnovel with a reincarnation theme that's written by an author self inserting himself as the MC.

Also, breaking the 4th wall? Really? Yeah it can be funny, but this doesn't seem like the kind of story that should include this. Especially when all it really consists of is just the MC pointing out all the foreshadowing. Foreshadowing isn't necessarily meant to be obvious and in your face, I mean, come the f*ck on author, try a little harder. This is your job, not a f*cking story you wrote as a 12 year old while immersed in your fantasies.

The general plot relies on accidents from other people. Either god f*cked some sh*t up again and MC has to fix it, or... Actually wait, everything relies on god f*cking some sh*t up. Time after time, everything happening around him is all due to god failing, and now it's all up to the MC. Spoiler ahead, but it's not too big of a deal considering how loose the story is anyway.
Spoiler

He's left behind because god f*cked up and somehow because MC is born with a powerful concealment ability, but really, god f*cked up. Then he's stuck on earth alone for 1000 years instead of 10, because god f*cked up. Then the monsters on earth are too strong, because guess what... God f*cked up. Then the traps don't work, because... God f*cked up. Then some dude wants to invade earth, and he's able to do so because... Yep, god and his angels f*cked up. God f*cks up > Hey MC fix this sh*t > Big reward > rinse repeat.

[collapse]

Oh yeah, and as an end note, 90% of the story is just f*cking filler. We spend so much time in his workshop seeing him crafting items, but he'll always come back in a few chapters just to upgrade or replace it. <<less

It was originally a light-hearted fun novel with some lame jokes but still enjoyable overall. Until one ridiculous event occurred and now I can just lament at what the novel could have been and what it has instead become. The event was:

... more>>
Spoiler

The MC has a son with a dragon. The dragon tragically dies due to s*upid reasons while saving the MC before the son is hatched. The child hatched in a human form from a dragon's egg. The child could speak Korean immediately after he was hatched, and declared his ambitions to become strong like his father (the MC), whose name and other things he already knew without being told (due to some s*upid plot armor). He also inherited all the MC's OP skills and had more bonus stats than what the MC started out with. After he levels up the MC is planning to ride his own son into battles. Now I get the feeling that the novel is turning from action / romance to a ridiculous family drama. The conversations between the father and the perfect son are lame and unrealistic.

It was good. Nothing more, possibly less, it's just good. The MC and Co are likeable, especially his son. Both MC and Son are OP which is good. Action is good, comedy is meh, harem is meh, but the setting is good and the story knows where It's going.

But then BS hits. A Rank 3 being gives millions of XP and a Rank 4 being gives billions of XP. MC, by himself, kills hundreds of thousands of Rank 3s and thousands of Rank 4s and barely makes it to lvl140.

7? Of his companions group kills about a hundred thousand Rank 3s and 100 Rank 4s and suddenly they're in their lvl130s.

This would normally annoy me, but I wouldn't drop it because of this. However, the Author emphasises so many times how hard it is to lvl. The MC always complains about how he has killed so many Rank 4s and 3s but never lvls up. Now his companions have almost caught up in lvl because the plot demands it. The Author makes the MC to be this special 1 in a billion type of guy and everyone on Earth is supposed to be very far behind him, but because of plot, Author says f*ck it.

So I dropped it.

An entertaining novel, but It has some serious flaws. The entire EXP gaining and level up System is pretty much a mess. People on Earth have to kill tens of thousands of monsters to gain few levels and the more you level up the requirements keep getting super ridiculous!

The MC spends literally months just to gain 5-6 levels killing the strongest monsters in existence on Earth and even dragons in other worlds, but people on Earth seem to be able to keep up with his levelling speed, with just a... more>> tiny difference of 10-20 levels (on average) ! That's insanely nonsense! How many monsters are present on Earth in the first place!? Because the numbers don't add up at all!

A single person has to kill thousands of high level monster to level up, and hundreds of thousands low level ones, so at least there must be close to a trillion monsters on Earth. But the problem is, even if all these monsters existed, how long would it take for a single person to kill that many? Obviously not a few months (considering It has been less than a year since the beginning of the Cataclysm) ! But the author ignores this huge plot hole as if all the people on Earth are able to stop time and instant kill each monster! So far the novel is enjoyable but the premise of the level up System needs to be rethought and trimmed!

Otherwise in the near future It would be impossible for any person to level up, given the scarcity of high level monsters and the enormous EXP needed for even a single level up! <<less

Chapter 70 Part 3.

I read this all in one go. Before I read it I read the reviews, there's either "eh this is actually really bad" or "this is the best thing I've ever read". While this story isn't super amazing, it's actually pretty damn close. Amusing, avoids some common pitfalls, and has really good pacing.

All the people who give this a low review, the things they say are wrong. "Oh if he's read so many books why isn't he some freakish magical genius who memorizes everything and calculates everything... more>> instantly?" Uh, reading books doesn't make you smart. It just gives you knowledge. "Oh there was no explanation for X" yeah there was. Read it again. Why didn't Lita teach him Mana during the 1000 years? Because Earth had no mana. THAT'S THE WHOLE f*ckING POINT.

For people who aren't ret*rded, this story is a really fun read. He sticks to his character quite well. I often want him to man up and take over the world, but that wouldn't make sense and he doesn't. The abilities are amusing, I wasn't expecting the pile driver to become an actual thing. The combat is a small part of the story, it's more a way of expressing his achievements and driving the story forward which realistically, is a good thing. He needs to kill tens of thousands of things to level up. How is that a story? "And he killed troll #87474" yawn.

All in all quite good, and I'm sad there isn't more to continue the marathon : ( <<less

The premise of the story lies in the MC being left behind, this would be considered a unique plot even amongst all the others. People who don't even read atleast to the part where the story actually begins will definitely miss out on this, and those that only look for Action would not be satisfied by this Comedy novel.

To answer a few questions without revealing spoilers:

1. Why was the MC left behind by God?

... more>> It is explained later on.

2. Where is the Action?

While the Novel does have the Action genre on it, the novel primarily focuses on Comedy aspects.

3. Why do people leave the series before it starts?

The whole first part of the story revolves around the introduction and backstory of the MC's powers, and sets us up for the actual story which revolves around what happens when everyone returns to Earth while also becoming an integral part of the plot later on.

Here is where the spoilers might start appearing more :

4. Why Crafting?

Spoiler

Why not spend 31 chapters deciphering a new mystic art, then suddenly discovering its profoundness in combat at the verge of losing, then suddenly triumph over a foe that would not in any possible way defeat without that new profound mystic art?

[collapse]

5. What are angels?

Spoiler

Corporate s*aves.

[collapse]

6. Why don't Human weapons from before work on the Monsters after?

Spoiler

Technological Weapons used by Intellectual Races prior to the first Great Cataclysm will not be exposed to any Records, and will not gain any if they were not made using a Skill afterwards or integrated through use, thus unable to defeat Record-bearing Monsters.

[collapse]

7. Who is the MC's mother?

Spoiler

A Korean woman.

[collapse]

8. Why can't the MC use magic?

Spoiler

He never learned how to. Mana didn't exist during his time in Isolation, thus he never trained in it, and with the whole "Monsters Rampaging Around the World" deal, he never got the opportunity to until much later.

[collapse]

9. Why was the Time Axis distorted?

Spoiler

A ploy made by a certain man to help someone.

[collapse]

10. Who is "The God"

Spoiler

A representation of multiple aspects that takes on a meaningless form, taking on the mantle of Creator. For those avid Christians, this does not in any way cause defamation or insult to religion, and is meant to be read in a literal sense in mind about the plot of the novel.

[collapse]

11. Why is the MC still so OP comparative to the rest of Earth?

Spoiler

In terms of literal sense, he is not OP. He is simply more powerful than the rest of the world and has yet to face enemies beyond his own world. He has built up his power for 1, 000 years and when the Reset happened, his physical experiences were awakened as Skills after doing a specific action correlating to that Skill which would generate a Record that would merge with his experience to form said Skill. He also grinds his skills in ways which no sane person would do.

[collapse]

I'd answer more questions but I haven't read the novel in a year and I don't want to drag this out. Hopefully this review helps you get back in or read EER for the first time and have a good day.

First review ✌︎ ('ω'✌︎)

The only problem I have with this novel is probably in my eyes the most unrealistic aspect of the novel and it's his inability to understand the women around him. There's a limit to not picking up on body language and s*xual advances. The author might think of this as being funny but it's just dumb, over played and too unrealistic even if this is a fantasy novel. The MC was alone for 1000 years with a beautiful woman and he couldn't figure out what she's thinking.... really. And what's... more>> up with authors of these novels making the MC over protective of there v**ginity. The MC is a teenage boy. I don't care what environment you're raised in if the MC's a healthy teenage boy then he's going to either try have s*x with a woman he's alone with for a 1000 years or he's going to develop Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. <<less

This was my first Korean novel and I am kinda disappointed how it developed. I started this novel when it wasn't overrated and read it until chapter 120 and decided to pause this novel for more chapters. I really liked this novel but the more you read it the more hilarious and incomprehensible it gets. I mean every 50 chapter it gets worse. It had such a good start and had so much potential but in my opinion it got wasted.

So now to my review...
... more>>
Spoiler

I couldn't stop reading it because I was so hyped about the story like "oh my gosh he was left behind by humanity and trained for a 1000 years and now it's time to shine". My thoughts were that it was a nice dungeon novel where the MC gets his lvl ups and becomes op similar to some isekai novels just much better implemented. But it got more fast paced the more you read it and destroyed my image of the novel. In the middle of chapters 100 and 200 it got pretty boring because he had now too many companions and his son kinda started to get on the nerves and I was thinking about dropping it but I decided to keep reading it.... Well it was a mistake.... It got for a short time better because they got separated not all of them though because the angels had to stay with him but it was kinda refreshing. Then they fast paced again and it got hilarious and boring how the MC gets op so I stopped reading it for the story and continued for the development of the MC. But yea... I got headache from reading it,

The Character development was good too but most of the Characters lost their charm. I had nearly good impressions of all characters but they all started to acting weird for example: lita aka liera. She was a pretty good and funny character kinda like a big bister (noona) but she got too attached to the MC and she started get annoying and lost her charisma.

Next one is Erta. Tsundere is my favourite dere type so she was one of my favourite Characters. But there was an arc were she got cut because of some reasons and the MC and Lita were alone together and the 2 started to dating each other sometime. This was one of the main reasons that the characters started to act strange. It literally destroyed all relationships the MC had with the other heroins.... such a waste.

Na Yuna and Kang Mirae were pretty good too but because of that arc they lost their charisma and stopped shining.

And the most disturbing thing was the development of the MC. When I started to read the novel I thought I could grasp the personality of the MC but that never was the case. He first was a loner until about 80 chapters when he got his followers but he kept calling himself a loner. Sometime later he started to literally kill everything. THAT WAS SO WEIRD... when a 5th class being spawned and it was a potential new character he just killed her while she was spawning and he got her soul what develops later on to one of his subordinate just without a body.... dafuq? and then later on when he could meet Erta...!!! HE WAS THINKING OF KILLING HER BECAUSE SHE COULD HAVE BEEN AN ENEMY???!! HE WAS ALREADY PREPARING TO KILLING HER!! WTF?! from then on I thought I didn't understand him anymore. I mean did he really never trust her? that kinda makes me sad. Well why I am so sure that he would have killed her if she turned out to be an enemy? because he killed ONE OF THE HEROINS!!... even if the angels betrayed earth and him doesn't mean that she did..... she said that she didn't feel anything but she couldn't do anything anyways. They spent so much time together but in the end she was killed by him without hesitation.... There was a 7th class being too who had no evil intentions who had so much opportunities to kill him but didn't because she felt that he was the faited one and even helped him out. When she reached her hand for him he killed her...??!! WHAT?! why did he do that? well that was about chapter 270... that already triggered me to drop the novel but I kept holding on a little bit more. and what comes next was that his mother is the most op character in the novel without doing anything or rather I didn't bother reading the reason because she said that she didn't went through training like Illhan and was just strong....??!! Hello?! Illhan was only op because he went through 1000 years of training but yea she ofc doesn't neet that. In fact everyone of them is nearing the realm of the higher existences which would take several 1000 years but yea ofc its the MC generation and everyone has to be abnormal. It wasnt fast paced or something like that noooo... he took from lv 100 to 200 so fkn long but from 200-300 (lv of higher beings) it was easy peasy and he started to kill 7th class beings with little tricks... well I am done I dropped it..

I couldn't read it anymore it was too tiring and I was too disappointed.... why didn't he take more time for story or why did have to cut off all relationships? I mean what's the point of giving them good personalities if they are gonna die or being cut off anyways? such shame... such a shame... well thats just my opinion tho so don't let it affect you and make your own view. I just wanted to share my thoughts with other people and wanted to know what they think. Still rating 3/5 because I enjoyed the first 50 chapters so much....

One dimensional characters, more plot holes than actual plot and an absolute lack of logic reign supreme. For some reason, our MC, who was supposedly "left behind" for being a loner of epic proportions, suddenly is very noticeable after everyone comes back. But wait, our MC is not human. He's actually a robot desperately pretending to be one. All he does is follow the orders of his controllers, the angels, hunt and craft..... ad infinitum. All his dialogues have been him claiming how he is a korean version hikkiNEET and... more>> a few lines that might barely qualify as comedy with the angels.

I pity anyone who has left this book halfway because they felt it lacked direction. Far from it. It is actually one of the best novels out there. While it may not provide the same thrill as some of the other nail-biting masterpieces out there, this is an outstanding work in and of itself. Toika always delivers for any harem fans out there and this is his best work out there so far. I never felt that the story or development of characters was rushed or too slow. I, myself... more>> am a fan of the weak-to-strong, harem genre. And this one delivers and exceeds every expectation. Yeah, in-between we don't see some characters for some time, but remember, it already has too many characters to juggle between by that point in the story and some of them have to miss out even if they are your favorites.

TL/DR: Read it! If you start, read the whole novel. If you are not a fan of tragedy and still want to read a thriller with a cool MC, give this a read. Highly recommended! <<less

I'm sorry to say this but at first I thought it was a really amazing novel because of many good ratings, but as I start to read more and more, it's just going downhill.

First I just want to say the novel started out super interesting. The MC got abandoned for 1000 years and learnt a bunch of skills, then those skill got awaken to the max level once the "game system" instituted.

The angel that was with him at first behaved like a friend, but as the plot goes on she... more>> flirted alot, and I mean it, ALOT!. Almost every chapter that angel flirts with him non-stop. It was funny the 1st time and the 2nd time, but by the 99th time it's just super annoying. And what makes it even worse is that there is another angel that "compete" with that angel for the MC affection. Out of 295 chapters I read, 50 must have been about the flirting and the other 50 is about the competition of the 2 angels. Honestly I'd rather read about the MC journey alone, explore the worlds on his own than the MC travel with 2 angels who are constantly talking about irrelevant stuff and seducing the MC. So yea if you like girls that are after the MC like white on rice then this novel is for you. <<less

I don't get why this novel get so high ratings.

The novel isn't bad but it doesn't deserve it's praises.

If the high ratings are for originality then I kinda understand.

... more>> Maybe it's just me but if a novel doesn't describe its characters well, the story turns bland.

In this case the author only describe the characters as (Pretty, Handsome, Beautiful) and nothing else. Either they are beautiful or very beautiful, I mean describe beauty, people have their own take at beauty.

The character feels no depth since I can only describe them as handsome or beautiful.

Character development became a mess after the first half of the novel. The problem is the scale of the story, the story is so big that it can't fit in a 350 chapter unless the author is a good story writer which he/she cleary is not.

It shows that the author can't make up his/her mind on how will the character develops and just gives up midway and just focuses on how the story ends and left the characters half-baked.

I just love how it emphasizes in the beginning that this is a comedy and not an action novel. In my opinion it's the opposite, it's an action novel that fails miserably on the comedic element.

I don't even remember laughing reading this, maybe it's the language barrier and jokes not translated well into English.

1 star for originality

1 star for the first half

Anyway the story isn't that bad. Give it a try and you will definitely enjoy it, but I doubt you will even remember this novel after a week or so when you finished it. <<less

The plot is extremely linear. It seems like the author couldn't make a immersive plot so they tried to pad it with comedy. The plot essentially goes like this: The main character will make a weapon that deals extra damage to dragons. The main character will say, "Wow, I bet I will have to fight dragons soon." And, you'll never believe it, but he proceeds to fight dragons for the next 50 chapters. The plot is so linear, in fact, that almost every single ability and item becomes important to... more>> the plot, saves him, allows him to defeat x, allows him to find x, etc.

The main character never really struggles. I'm at chapter 130 and there still hasn't been a villain that isn't killed with one or two hits from the main character. Whenever he gets injured hes either saved or says, "This is all within my plan", and proceeds to win easily. Actually, he only needed to be saved once so far.

This novel, like many, struggles to convey any form of power difference. They shove a bunch of numbers at you (ex. 150% crit rate, 120% damage against dragons, etc) then explicitly say about twenty times a chapter that those numbers are the only reason he can beat said monster. Furthermore, in this novel, every single ability is absurdly overpowered.
Spoiler

For example, sleeping unlocks a ability that allows you to regenerate nearly any wound.

[collapse]
This novel gets so lost in the rabbithole of meaningless numbers, overpowered abilities, etc, that there is never a real sense of danger.

Also, the main character claims to have read every single book on earth. So much that he decides he can see into the future purely based on cliches that happen. They turn this into a comedy skit because the author doesn't know how else to introduce any plot. Now, despite being basically omniscient, and has read every book on earth, he cannot pick up on obvious romantic tropes. Pretty much every single female character falls in love with him, and the further along the novel the faster it happens. All he has to do is speak a few sentences to make someone fall in love with him.

Furthermore, the main character has zero personality. He spent 1000 years not talking to a single other human, but due to sheer willpower he retains his personality, with seemingly no side effects. I mean, seriously? 1000 years alone with on and off conversations with an angel, and he keeps his sanity perfectly?

The comedy at first as funny, but when they repeat the same couple of jokes for 130+ chapters it gets tiring really fast. Pretty much every character is 1d, and expresses no personality unless its for the sake of comedy.

It really annoys me that they made the main character super dense despite him being a walking lie detector, and can see through peoples personalities.

Overall, this novel is a mess through and through. I don't particularly recommend this novel unless you plan to read it with your brain turned off. <<less

Well I usually don't write review but seeing this much high rating I have to say something.

First off all I have read many webnovel, Almost all available on wuxiaworld, more than 20 on webnovel (qidian) app and from various other sites like HTK and so on....

I have read very good novels, good novels, bad novels and very bad novels.

... more>> This one according to me lies between bad and very bad. If you like brainless MC, Overpowered MC and Omnipotent MC you will like this. ELSE SKIP THIS NOVEL PLZ.

MC faces no challenges, no one is able to defeat him, he always wins at the last moment against OP villains and he is surrounded by brainless harem material.

NO PLOT DEVELOPMENT. Same plot is repeated again and again.

Now I will leave it upto you to select it or not.

P.S- 2 star because it is good time wasting novel <<less

Pretty decent novel, has good world building, funny interactions of side characters, enjoyable game-system, even the ending is decently closed with the side stories, however one thing made my rating drop by 2 stars - the MC.

Let me explain:

... more>>
Spoiler

In the first ~100 chapters he was acceptable, being the outcast - he was farming levels and killing mindless monsters all by himself. But then a little later (like 20-30 chapters later) author decided to slip trough his idea of MC being the Hero out of nowhere trough some paragraphs. I really didn't like that since it was established that he will do everything himself in the first quarter of the story, and not for the benefit of others (humanity) but ok, it was still acceptable for me.

MC also says that he doesn't have a problem killing monsters since they are mindless and all, but would feel some kind of negative emotions when killing some being that has intelligence (like any normal human would), however all that comes the drain later as MC kills thousands beasts, half humans and even humans (the race he said he would protect durning his hero phase) without remorse easily, literally 20 chapters after he said that, and that number increases to millions, billions and by the end I think that number broke trough even trillions. Some of those guys aren't even against him, he just kills them for the minuscule amount of EXP that almost brings him no benefit no matter if they are good or bad. Also, later on he becomes a major tyrant, slaughtering everything that even has the IDEA of going against him.

But no, that's not the worst part. The worst part is, that when MC kills them, author STILL makes him look heroic by doing that, and sometimes he even laughs it off as killing off ants.

TL;DR - basically MC is extremely evil and with author trying to make him look heroic and good while doing that makes him look absolutely hypocritical. I can easily stand evil MC's but I hate it very much when they are hypocritical, and even worse, when author justifies their hypocrisy, so if u want to read this novel just be prepared for the chaotic evil tyrant MC opposed to the loner one that is described and ignore authors ramblings about heroism of MC.

A typical brains-off type of series. It's one of those fictions with ludicrous plots that make no sense at all with the purpose of glorifying the protagonist as much as possible.

For the first twenty or so chapters, you have to completely turn your brain off. This is "invisible dragon" level bad. For example, the protagonist reads every book in the world in something like a century and masters every martial art in another century.

I honestly think this series is based off of invisible dragon. Someone went "huh, that's... more>> a good idea, just clean up the spelling a little, give it a real plot, change the protagonist to a dragon-like invisible human and voila."

The concept is so bad the side character regularly comments how s*upid it was. The author's own character regularly insults the beginning of his series....

After the world starts moving again and the plot finally starts, the series is good depending on how much you can turn your brain off and ignore everything that came before it.

Around chapter 120 the series starts losing what little charm it had. In chapter 124, I couldn't take anymore because the protagonist literally goes full chuunibyou. Basically, the author felt he hadn't made the power growth ridiculous enough and decided to double down with something so bad it feels like it belongs in the Invisible Dragon.

If you can put up with the opening chapters, which isn't that hard to do, you will probably enjoy the series for about the next hundred chapters. Then it'll slowly start a downward spiral.

Okay, I started reading this again. The trick is to turn your mind off as much as possible. I dropped it before because too much s*upid happened at once and I couldn't go on. But after a years rest, I was able to turn my brain back off.

The first thing I noticed now is that everyone talks like a preteen. Everyone drops F bombs and calls people B****. Even emperors that are hundreds of years old.

The other reviews are definitely right. It's ludicrous how much experience Yu Ilhan gets from his unique exploits and he's only partway into third class. He causes world-wide extinction events killing thousands of fourth classes and that amounts to about 10 levels for him.... Can someone explain where all these fourth classes came from in the first place? How the hell does a normal person level up to that point? <<less

Before you read the rest of the reviews you've got to keep in mind that :

1. The author publishes 11 chapters per week. It's already on its 190th chapter on munpia. The english translation is still at the beginning. Don't expect to have all your questions answered just yet!

2. It's basically a comedy (until now that is) so don't expect any tragedy, angst, super duper hard enemies or impossible fighting situations. Also comedic elements tend to be lost in translation, and it's not the translator's fault, it's a language and... more>> cultural thing. Do you want to be able to understand the finer comedic elements? Learn the freaking language!

3. MC is OP. In webster's they should have his photo next to the description of "OP". Don't like it? Move along..

4. If 3. Isn't enough, GOD or angels or whatever want to make him even more OP, so yeah.. You've been warned.

5. Asian novel authors tend to have trouble with numbers. Like "it will take a billion years to resurrect", or "an army of 80.000 has camped in the woods", or "it's a city of 300.000, 50km wide". OR, he learned weaponsmithing for 300 years. If you can't handle it, why are you even on this site?

Now for my actual review:

If the first thing you did when you run DOOM for the very first time is typing in IDDQD then READ THIS! LIKE NOW! <<less

This perhaps has one of the most eye opening prologue I've ever readied to date. Has a very interesting original way to start out a series and has been pretty decent ever since. Currently I've found myself reading this as a more so carefree way to enjoyed my hobby, reading. Yeah, you can say that beside the first few chapters, the other chapters are around four stars or so and perhaps the novel shouldn't get as high rating at it should be. Since the people who leave negative review are... more>> saying that there's no main story line or anti-protagonist, your right I'll agreed with you there. Currently there's no real threat to the main character but that's why I explicitly mention that it was more so carefree novel that you can relax yourself in. But naturally I do like a bit of excitement for the story to progress and where the main character can show true hardship beside complete solitude. For now I'll simply leave a five star since it did a very good job on it's opening and I'll support it for now however I might changed my mind if the Main Character just go a bit too carefree. <<less
