Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.An unknown parcel arrives to Yoshio, a 30-years old NEET. The content is a game disk titled “The Village of Fate.” A beautiful CG game with real-life images gets started.
All of the villagers in the game are high-performing AIs, who strangely behaved like human beings. In that game, Yoshio is the god of destiny and will be in a position to guide the villagers. But what can be done in the game is only to give a message, a prophecy, once every day. The villagers will execute the instruction, and their gratitude becomes the power of miracles, that the god of destiny can use.
Yoshio is worshiped as God but in reality he lives like a shut-in. Thanks to villagers he will again learn the joy of life and thanks to him the villagers will be saved.

- At least for me, MC emotional connection with the NPC in the game quite relatable. Lets see what kind of NPC exist in the game. A parents that have daughter, siblings (brother and sister), and the guy who didn't believe with god and later on his village gone. If you see that, didn't feel familiar to you? If you compare with MC family situation and this NPC? Seeing that, MC slowly feel he want to became better, just like this NPC, "work hard". And when MC tried to became better, he got supported by the item that being send by the NPC, that made him interact more with his family. Not only that, because the game need Real Money to get more access to the game, he tried to get a job.
Because the Translator release per day with part, I can't wait anymore and tried to read the MTL, this is where the struggle begin, especially the 2nd arc. What you read below is contain heavy spoiler.So, like what we got in couple chapter ago, we got information that its look like this game not only MC that play it. We got information that MC coworker had played the game. So, it became interesting right? But, it actually no.
Why you ask? Because at this moment, the author "VERY VERY HARD" to try to made MC dumb. I'm not joking here. Later, MC coworker will talk more about the game that he play, he even told MC that this game can't be explain more because its against the rule. For f*ck sake, if you have normal brain, you literally know that you play the same game. Later on, there is a feature where you can connect to the game from the phone. So player can check and use miracle from the phone. What did MC do? He literally play the game near his coworker. And then maybe some electricity in his brain suddenly spark, and finally he guess that his coworker is the evil god. In one night, where the event evil god attacking begin, his coworker came to his home, threatening MC to stop defending the village. Because his coworker already fail so many time to raid and if he fail this time, it will be game over. MC got help by the Lizard, the coworker game over, and if it game over it will wipe the player memory regarding the game. And MC villager are all dead. Because MC AFK (encounter with his coworker).
This is the story became more and more hard to read. I just don't understand why almost every author (not only japan, chinese and korean) that have a good premised story, ruined their own story. In this novel, author "try hard to make the game look complicated and make MC more dumb". Thanks to make story complicated, the story have hole here and there.
So when MC check the PC (before the screen turn black), MC saw all the NPC dead. But one person is missing. The girl Carol. Its turn out, when evil god attack, her mother drugged her, and put her in the altar. So the girl came to MC house. So we got a little cute stories about Carol life in Japan, and the context that I said "Complicated story" and "Dumb MC" start here. When MC, his love interest and Carol went to new year celebration, MC met with other player. That have power to charm people. It turn out, its him that make his coworker attacked him. How did they met to begin with? Oh, when Carol came to Japan, she bring the bible, so MC hold the bible. And with the "dumb brain", MC open up the bible in the public (yes, literally in public, remember, they went to new year festival). So this person want MC bible. MC got a little information about the game (more complicated), MC being saved again thanks to the lizard that Carol bought. And MC abandon the man game from his phone (quite game).
Thanks for that MC finally can access the game forum. So he can gather info and ask admin about Carol situation. And we got a more rule regarding the game (it turn out, there is level in this game, MC lv 1, so it still tutorial), and thanks to this rule, it added more hole to the stories, made it more irrelevant, and more hard to read. And what make it worse, again author make MC more dumb. He literally post his situation in open forum, not directly contact the admin. He even told everyone he have the bible. Oh man, I really try hard to read this novel at this point.
MC finally contacted the admin, and MC went to the hokkaido, the place where the sender of his packaging item from. Yes, he met again with other god, and they fight in the ship (MC using ship to hokkaido). Remember the rule I talk about? One of the rule said, God can't harm each other. But, it looks like they can. LUL.
MC will met again with that person, but god save by the high level god (level 5), god of luck according to MTL. Again more rule and information that made all the story more irrelevant. We got info too, (MC have a dream), the villager are not dead.
MC passed out (I forgot the situation), and he suddenly in different world. Yes, he is in the village. He live in the village until evil god event ended. When he in that village, he got contacted by the main god, and got explanation about the true story about the game, and the god ask MC if he want to back to his world or stay in that world. MC choose to back to his world, but not until the event end. Remember Carol stay with MC? Its almost a month they are together, and they are so close. Its kinda weird when MC disappear (back to his world), no interaction or sad interaction between these two. Even after the arc ended, its just like nothing happen.
My main disappointment for this novel, Author just try hard to make the game and story too complicated. Like I said there is a level in here. In 1st and 2nd (the beginning till mid 2nd arc) arc, MC still level 1. Level one its just like tutorial, many restriction. It would be good if the author just focus more about the feature and characters that already exist, make it more understandable and relatable to the story. Rather than rush everything, adding more complicated thing that made more irrelevant to the story, and plot hole everywhere. Especially the Rule part.
Just like I said at the end of the spoiler of 2nd arc, where MC transfer again to his world (from the game world), since the beginning of the story, it look like MC got attach to his NPCs, later on when Carol came to Japan, his relationship with her became better, and when he got transfer to the village, his relationship with the villager are pretty good too. But guess what, no interaction or emotional moment between MC and the NPC. The funny part and more you read, the more ret*rd it looks, the one who got emotional where MC back to his world is the Lizard. Yes, he bring the Lizard to the village, but when transfer back, he only back alone. The lizard cried, MC feels sad. And suddenly, next story it turn out the Lizard can be transfer again to MC world via Altar. No joke here. So, whats the point they cried and sad? Meanwhile MC and the NPC didn't give a f*ck about MC back to his world. Even tho after all this time, they have deep connection (especially with Carol). LUL. And funny part, Even after God said, they can't send living thing again via village to MC world, but turn out, it can.

- Interesting overall idea. Some creative effort does make for some interesting development and twists.
The BAD:a slight variation of the standard 'my phone game gave me super-powers' story- with some different naming and background. A bit disappointing, but I guess it still works.
sell all the stuff they owned (which was valuable to them literally a day before)
Especially since it seems the mother just scolds him, the sister is actively hostile towards him, and no one seems to care (or help) - making his situation (and depression) worse.
-
- The game depicted is pay-to win tr*sh (even if magic). It sounds like a huge time-sink, potentially set up to be unwinnable without investing in expensive micro-transactions (at least- that's what the MC seems to think). I don't care how great the technology is- if all it wants is to get you invested, then suck all your cash- it's not a good game. 'Fantasy Oregon Trail' is not worth liquidating your assets.

- The author using idiot logic to try to have the MC 'explain away' game features is ridiculous.

The Different:Although the author is hazy what his money went towards (or not) he eventually states plainly that summoning and operating the golem (for a few minutes) cost about $100. It's also obvious 'no way in hell' would his worshipers survive without his cash shop outlay
Postage is not cheap. Shipping a man-sized log to someone alone invalidates their profit potential- not to mention meat in Japan isn't cheap. We won't even challenge his 'Game AI' s*upidity. It's more logical to think these are scripted events
-
- Writers with a bias/agenda are not 'different'- but making a victim a 'villain' (even if a repentant one) doesn't happen too often.
All that said, if you can keep in mind that the author is an idiot about his bias against NEETs, and has no clue about the issues and real consequences of depression- then you can put that repeating theme aside and try to enjoy his cult-like, slavish interaction with the game... Ugh. still sounds problematic, huh? Well, whatever. It's not horrible, and does get better over time- but although it's a got highs and lows, I don't know that I'd push this unedited on others. The worst point is 'What 'god' decides to have other random idiots 'protect' their actual, real citizens by giving them powers with no instruction?'.Building a world with adversity and 'rules' is fine- but how can 'this team can build armies and raze cities to the ground for profit- and cheat to collaborate (and even dox opposing users) ' go against 'if you figure out you have to spend your own money and care enough to do so and somehow survive (despite 'poison pill' miracles that can easily backfire over time) - 'good luck' getting useful info. I'm surprised anyone survives level one (or can afford to) compared to the bad guys who need to be idiots & outspent- but are better motivated due to 'rewards'.
It's like the 'good guys' WANT to lose. The 'good gods' WANT their people to die. It doesn't add up. It's dumb.
Verdict: rejected. Protagonist treasures his hair too much... more>>
MC starts out as a deadbeat and with the help of the game to gain back his confidence and respect after seeing the NPCs work hard.
