People of Earth are transported into an apocalyptic game by a bored god. OP MC travels back in time with future knowledge to avert humanity's extinction. Pros:
- Interesting concept, world building. Epic settings (bigger is better right?).
- Plot progression/structure seems to be well planned so far; though the setting's structure helps this by essentially "resetting" every arc. Cons:
- Writing quality gets worse over time. Author skips describing details on items, skills, visual descriptions (of all sorts; eg: people/locations/monsters), entire events.
- Translation quality varies. Oftentimes hard to tell... more>>
Cons: the translation really needs editors. It's not good, yet not that bad. The potential to improve the translation via editors is very huge. If you're looking for a fun read, where the main protagonist gets rewarded after every trials. This is not the novel you should be reading.
Harem? Nope.
Wishy-washy sidekicks? Nope.
Relationships? Nada.
Xianxia Trope? Not even close.
If you have trouble accepting the brutality of the situation presented, and the... more>>
- No plot armour. Or at least it isn't the intrusive kind of plot armour. The MC actually almost died. By the time he's healed, he finds that things have changed way to0 much. So he has to work harder than before to get things going along the intended trajectory.
- No cliches
- The back-to-the-past trope doesn't feel like a trope at all. It feels more like terminator where there aren't set timelines when something will happen (apart from the abyss), but more of objectives he has to achieve
Cons- In fairness, I may quit this at any time so my review is only for up to c79 (so far) and will be notably incomplete, and possibly prejudicial.
The GOOD:- MC seems acceptable- almost likable. It's a trick- but you may not notice...
- Storytelling is ok, albeit linear & predictable.
The BAD:- Translation is a bit sub-par. Still mostly understandable, but some occasional, minor issues.
- This a narrative 'about a story' more than an actual story. So much exposition. Exposition nightmare.
Spoiler
[collapse]
- Forced plotting everywhere. Might as well be a cooking show, the 'ingredients' are so accessible & the different steps executed so easily.
Spoiler
[collapse]
- Things 'not forced' are exposition-'justified'. Half the story is rambling about barely related things, narrative to convince you of pending or past things, or are speculation/projection of things that won't be- but you have to be told about for some reason.
- Setups for the 'challenges' are mostly math-challenged 'luck vs effort' setups, or unrealistically biased 'carrot & stick' based 'divide & conquer' messes.
Spoiler
[collapse]
- 'Mind control' almost always fails to make sense/not be OP in most stories, but it's use here is just vague and cliche.
- MC's motivation/actions are rather bullshit. Actually this author bullshits a lot with his story, asserting things 'are this way' in one section, then saying other crap later. Sometimes only a paragraph apart. It's somewhat irritating.
Spoiler
[collapse]
- No characters have much personality- they're all 'plot puppets' stiffly following the author's script. (see spoiler above).
- For an 'Apocalyptic Horror/Drama', other than 'complaints', most people surprisingly have very few feelings about the amount of loss and strife throughout the story. You get to glimpse more than a few petty motivations to fuel/justify the forced plot/the MCs actions- but there is practically no actual drama/tragedy/human emotion-- and in a story like this, that should be impossible.
Spoiler
[collapse]
- On that note: LOTS of stuff is left out/'done in the background'. Major quest objectives are suddenly 'resolved' without details in between sentences. Not sure if this is the writing or the translating- but it's not good storytelling.
The Different:Someone says a thing. Next you expect a response, but no- instead enjoy several paragraphs of exposition. Oh, here's a response- what was said before?...
That's just 1 example.
Some of the more blatant points are where people 'offend' the MC, then are conveniently 'punished' by the 'karma' of the story with a set-up that pretty much yells 'See how you are? That's why this is happening!'
In the context of 'this was just random untrained people, randomly grouped together'- including puzzle dynamics which demand competence and solidarity should be instant fails despite 'magic rune stone power ups'. Don't forget- this is supposedly the 'tutorial', not some 'weeding out' scheme enforced on army offficers
Actually the MC is a two-faced hypocrite. Although I'm name calling- it's 100% accurate, and there's even a passage at the end of c42 (I think) that spells out how he's been intentionally 'grooming his image'. You can add in the convenient normal guy that suddenly, desperately offers to be his 'Punisher' and kill people for him as he pretends to be averse to doing it himself (for publicity reasons).
Actually- speaking of that character, to go from a post-high school work associate (or whatever), to someone who he can give an order to 'go somewhere, get a special thing by independently completing a normally dangerous challenge, wait up to 34 days for people, and kill anyone who shows up and doesn't use his name' (which should include any random innocent person or group)...
Yeah.
To expect he'll execute that competently is one ridiculous thing.
That he does is the other.
In the second phase of the 'tutorial', the MC meets a family where only the father fights, and the rest coattail ride the goodwill of the protectors.
Ok- whatever- that can happen...
Later, the father has to make a hard decision due to limited resources, so he punches his daughter in the face & takes her ticket- the runs off with the wife.
Ok- whatever- again...
The daughter is left behind, and is given a
few sentences of token attention by the writer, and is thereafter 'functionally ignored' by the story- even though the author makes it clear that the MC slightly later kills everyone (though doesn't spell it out that he kills said daughter, nor make the daughter plead for her life, etc/whatever drama/human emotion)
- Nothing- I thought it was a blatant rip-off, but turns out it was (likely) the inspiration for something WAY better (Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint).
Overall, it's a passable read if you're bored enough I suppose- but suggest you just read ORV. On it's own merits, it's not BAD, but 'why settle for less'? I suppose if you finished ORV and want MOAR, then it's better than nothing? Well, whatever.This novel is not like others. The story in this novel focuses on, well, the story. The MC is just the driving force of it, we're merely following him along as he works at completing a specific goal, thus unnecessary things are short or nonexistent. Fight scenes for example are often cut as it's not really necessary to explain it all, he explains how he gets abilities and such and how they work and that's about what's necessary. It is also not like other novels in character interactions as MC... more>>
Theres so many time skips, and things that happen that you literally have no idea whats going on. plus so many things that dont make sure.
Plus a crap load of plotholes or random things that dont make sense.

Plot progression: 5/5
Character development: 2/5
Writing: 2.5/5 Pros:
Reincarnator builds amazing worlds, and that's really one of the biggest things I'm looking for in a fantasy-type novel - being able to go on an adventure in another fantastical realm. Enjoy the creative worlds that the author creates. The MC is likeable!! He makes good decisions. He has a personality!!! He's never a d*ck for no reason. Cons:
Character development is fragmented and weak. Support characters randomly drop in, get an exposition, then disappear off into the realm of nothingness for... more>>
