Second Half 2/5
Overall: 3/5
· Still this fall into the stale and repetitiveness of Modern Age Novels
· So much Character Banters without even intellectual conversation ("But, MC is supposed to be an Adult!)
· Tropes from those Shounen Roncom Animes (s*upid anime's cliché misunderstandings,
"Hey, MC is supposed to be an Adult!")
· Rewarding on early chapters, punishing on late chapters
· MC most of the times stop thinking like the creator of the Novel, and instead acts as a character of it.
· Turned into a Soap Opera
· Ending? No Comment... In Deep Review:
As usual, the beginnings are always great, the preamble sold me out with the idea of an Author falling into his work, it hooked me up since the start, and on top of it finding out that someone modified his history was an even biggest Plot Twist on the very first Chapter. He has to earn Story Points (SP) to raise his skill and abilities in a Game Like Powers, the more fame he gets, the more SP he earns, and the stronger he becomes. Also, he can create skill and abilities tailored at his will.
Sadly as many rare novelties around, this one as well blew up on the development of it, and with time, all fell into a shadow of what it was in the early chapters. Moreover, unless you decide to let yourself to fall into the "Sunk Cost Fallacy", or if you are of those who like to end whatever they start reading, you will find yourself being unable to continue the reading until the end.
There were things I did not like with the Novel, so while I was reading I was taking notes of those, which will make this review larger and with many spoilers.
The first thing that I dislike even from the start is that the MC (the Author Character) still wanted to preserve the status and standing of every other character in the Novel. He doesn't see himself as the MC of it, which is s*upid since everyone else but HIM are NPCs, and he needs the fame to earn SP, if you consider that the Original Novel was a failure he should have taken the Role of MC, forget everyone else, and let those NPCs burn. Earning lot of SP would have skyrocketed to the top faster and finish his predicament ASAP.
MC wastes too much time talking and babbling with the MCs, instead of focusing on his things. He claims to be an extra, but he IS NOT, since he meddles with the same MC of the Novel, giving items and information from the standpoint of an Ally, not an EXTRA.
Giving a Virtual Game Plot to a Novel within a Novel? Seriously Author? (Real Life one). At this point, the "Real Life Author" ran out of ideas, and is making his "Author MC" play virtual reality games, throwing out the ship what this everything is about since the beginning. On top of it, he doesn't use his name, knowing that fame will earn him SP.
The best part of the Novel are the moment where the MC fights, at first he is supposed to look OP, but then he don't act like it, since he wants the other Characters to shine, when he KNOWS he gets more points for being in the limelight. He got a Bullet Time Ability and an Ability to destroy Magic Shield, so he virtually should be invincible, and able to kill anyone, but he does not do it. You see MC performing Bullet Time, then he start thinking on things, filling half chapter of ideas and actions he could do, and then the time runs out and he does nothing. It seems that the "Real Life Author" noticed how broken this was, and decided to nerf it, making it useless VS other strong people, but nice to kill large number of monsters.
He wastes times on useless abilities like singing, for a school contest and many other skills that doesn't nothing but convolute the chapters with a lot of text and useless skill that gives meager points to slow down the character power grown (RL Author doesn't want MC to be OP)
Once the MC leaves the Academy everything turns worse, MC does not like to show himself knowing that fame gives him lots of Story Points (SP), the skill points her gets is too few, something like 0.001-0.004 making his abilities progress slowly. Author was trying to milk the history for hundreds of chapters, where it would have ended in less than 100 if you remember the original premise.
Tower Arc was horrible, it was a power up place that the MC did not need, and forked for nothing as chapter milking. It only works because you see the MC picking useless skill and leveling up weird skills, instead of farming SP and create powerful skills like the Sharpshooter one.
After that so much Skip and Skim and in the end nothing worth mentioning...

- *exhale* where the hell is my harem graaaah not that I'm for harem all the time, but when the author planted flags with that many female characters that could move the progression barre of a VN's capture target by a whole 50%, a harem should be at the end ! dang it...
now, for the review (binge read it for a whole week) : story : before chap250 : 5/5 after : 3.5/5 characters : 4/5 world building : 4/5 writing style : before chap250 : 5/5 after : 3.5/5 Let's start with the "before the devilization arc" at around chap250. It was amazing. The characters were good, the story was interesting, and most of all, the writing was excellent. The events and developments are particularly well planned, with a good pacing, a good time management and all of this with multiple PoV. All the transitions were so seamless, so flawless that you just keep reading while immersed in the story. I didn't want to read anything else because I wanted to be fully focused on this novel. Really, if you want to see an exemple of a really good writing, you should read this novel till the benchmark (chap250-ish) The chapters are pretty long, it took me a lot of time to read this, but I didn't regret it one bit for this part. now, about the after benchmark... you know, it's a little bit like the story was entirely planned and reviewed many times before this devilization arc. But then, the author didn't do the review part anymore and start writing with just the elements he wanted to put in on the spot. Many transitions and plot progressions are forced by author without foreshadowing, clich s started to appear more often and many characters turned 2D or disappeared completelyI'm sure the author totally forgot lancaster... I'm sure of it.
