It's true that the first few chapters are painful to sit through but the grammer gets better and you can really tell that the translator is trying to improve. Plot is good and it's nice to see one of these stories where most people are still good at heart. Usually you end up with a world where decent people are super rare.

One issue I have to vent about is the annoying names. It's already hard enough to remember foreign names when you don't name 2 of your major side characters... more>> Liu Hau and Lau Hui. On top of that all 4 of the main characters at the beginning of the story have random nicknames for each other. These issues probably aren't a problem in the original language but they can be really annoying here. <<less

One of the best apocalyptic theme novel that I read here in NU. I give 5 stars due to plot development and character building. Also, I love it when the novel doesn't focus on having too many idiotic villains trying to upset the MC in early stages.

So the novel on the site I'm reading from calls this Doomsday Lord, that makes more sense than Doom Lord. (Be noted that the novel doesn't have the best translation)

This novel is a story about a reincarnated fodder-tier that used his advantages to survive and climb to the top in a modern day Earth where A "God" change the whole world and digitize it into a game like system to evolve humans. It involves a lot of kingdom building rather than leveling. Typical, but fun nonetheless.

The story has a... more>> good premise, but it fails to deliver a concise story. As you read, you'll find that the author really revolve the world around the MC. It's a typical problem with reincarnation novel where the "advantage" will need a break to control the OPness. The "break", unfortunately, result in a very f*ck up situation where it's simply impossible for anyone to survive unless the MC got involved. The whole premise of "evolving humans" doesn't make sense, it's more like a game of death where humans will never be the winner.

To be fair it was okay in the first third of the novel, but it deteriorates on the middle part after the level-jump concept got introduced and totally fall apart during the last third. The author wouldn't even bother showing stats window on the latter part since most of the time things will just go based on feeling like 'faster' or 'stronger'.

The characters are pretty standard, I got no special impression, the MC is calculating and leaning toward the good side. Side characters got some lime light since it's needed for the kingdom building. No harem here, but there is a bit of romance, by a bit, I mean a tiny bit.

The battle is short, this is mostly due to the few number of skills that the MC has. While it avoids a long-winded battle, it makes the battle pattern repetitive. Thankfully the story was fast paced, so I do enjoy the rapid advancement that the MC got rather than being served with chapters of battle scene that only throws a few skills around.

The ending was rushed, short, and left me unsatisfied. It does conclude the story, but it totally feels like the author was rushing to end the novel on turbo mode.

Conclusion

Story (2/5)

MC (2/5)

Side characters (3/5)

Battle (4/5)

Ending (2/5)

2.6 stars, I'll be kind and rate it 3 stars

It's not a good novel, thankfully the first third of the novel and the fast paced tempo help makes this an okay novel instead of a bad one. The main problem with this novel is the lackluster world building that instead of providing a place for the MC, becomes a world built for the MC and the MC only. If you're okay with that, this novel is readable, otherwise you can skip it. <<less

Not bad.. It get bit boring later but I enjoyed it.. The way they get powers isn't exaggerated.. We all know knowing one year of information doesn't mean you could be ahead of others for exemple just because I had a hack system in online games doesn't mean I can be number one or beat professional players.. So I wasn't really convinced with why he was ahead of other specially that he wasn't strong in his past life to be able to collect all the information he kept knowing. I... more>> always found it weird how cn always make Americans family taking power similar to Chinese clan/family.. While I always expect in reality if apocalypse happens the power would fall in hand of the army and some kind of military assamble not just one family because I don't feel the west have strong family ties like the east where family is the clan..

Other than that it was OK and fun still better than others.. <<less

This is a typical example of good concepts and elements, but mediocre writing. He's an OP character in a novel that focuses on combat, battle, and growing more powerful. He's so OP, even his major followers are so powerful that, in the absence of the MC and his other followers, any one of them could rule unopposed. As a novel with an OP MC, it focuses on all the wrong elements and ignores the elements that would have been interesting, reducing stuff like village development and inter-character relationships to just... more>> an excuse for the MC to grow more powerful or make is followers more powerful. <<less

this could be a good novel if the MC arent go back to the past, there is no thrill no mystery no drama and everything is dull because he already knew everything

i dont say every novel with this kind of theme is bad, I have read rebirth thief and the novel is much better than this

both MC are opportunist but rebirth thief MC dont treat everyone as his subordinate or s*ave, nor he always explain everything like a game guide

There are great reviews about "how bad this novel" for an example tyes77 and Grim_Dawn's review. I want to add something alongside theirs. After all the bad things, there is another for level system lovers. In this novel, level system s*upid and meaningless. You have to medidate 4 hours everyday and its determined how much you'll get and how much you'll be strong and this makes it meaningless. Its like; suppose A character and B character at same level then they are almost same person, same skills, same stats. There... more>> are unique items and skills or some crap about talent level but they are all about numbers, noting more.

Lets compare level systems; an another litrpg novel, there are more specific stats with skill and skill levels and its about how hardworker you are. Your int stat makes difference, another person's charisma stat again makes difference in another point of view and so skills. Some gets better at blacksmithing, some gets better at archery and in archery itself; some gets better at sniping, some at aoe, some at dps, some at attackspeed etc etc but in this novel, its make no difference. At some point, author says "hey, this guy A talent with sniping so accept that" and then make that character sniper suddenly. This isnt how variation works. This novel couldnt make it and it feels like every character copy paste each other with some random talent levels which works worse than some crap cn wuxia novel's talent degrees. <<less

It relies too heavily on "incredible reward because first time in the world", even throwing a few chance encounters for treasures.

So far it managed to basically reach 3-4 months of progress in a few days, meaning that it fully intends to continue the trend.

It's a "game" that's supposedly really grindy, but the MC gets all sorts of shortcuts and can solo groups of over a thousand enemies, getting rare loot again and again without much suspense or risk.

If it was just that, it would just be yet another of those... more>> novels you read when you are really bored, but to add on top of that, the site where it is translated has a really nasty pop-up and redirection thing that you can only block by blocking all scripts and external loading, but it also uses external tools to make the stat tables that appear every now and then.
This screams malware and intrusive ads, so it really needs to be pointed out. <<less

This is something you read to pass the time. It's a power fantasy, it isn't terrible but there really is no character progression. This is pretty much a feel-good type story. It has a lot of parts that make no sense to me hence the 3* rating. Unfortunately, the translator disappeared along with his translations but if it is ever picked up again or the translator comes back, I would recommend reading this for passing the time.

Reviewed at 45 chapters, rated 3.

Doom Lord was built upon similar premises to God and Devil World which has been translated earlier, with less depictions of human's evil desires and more emphasis on domestic/village/city management. However, with less than 50 chapters, I couldn't say anything more than that it has potentials.

I think the novel should be good, but the translated version is pretty confusing. Like other reviewers said, Doom Lord could benefit from better translator/editor. Still, the way it is now is quite readable, there's no problem for readers in... more>> following its plot development. <<less

a good story with MC who had some common sense.

the below average part is the combat part where MC as a mage could solo hordes of monsters just with common mana bolt. MC also survived being bitten by tens of wolves despite being a squishy mage.

beside the combat part, the story and characters interactions are top notch.

chapter 70-71 MC makes dumb decision ... more>>
Spoiler

MC could have waited to use divine grace after he leveled up normally, saving himself a lot of experience points and time but he didn't. It took him much longer to reach it later. Dumb move by MC and he did it knowingly too. Presumably the author wanted to curb his growth so he's not too op, but it's still frustrating to watch MC make rookie mistakes like this. He already had the exp fragments to use 32x training speed, so it wouldn't have taken long. What a waste!

I really like Doom Lord, the only thing I quite dislike is the romance on it. I really think that he doesn't really need it, maybe later on when all thing is done then I am quite alright with him liking someone, but during that time making me to not want to read the story for now, especially when the MC even said it twice that he doesnt have time for it atm but might think on it if everything turn out alright and stuff, but no he was being... more>> move by that girl. Sighhhh but I still like this story aside from the Romance on it.

I read till Chapter 269 in the story so far, in raw. <<less
