The thing is, novels often make some kind of contract with their readers where they give a sign that things will get better later on. The readers latch on to this and believe it will keep getting better, and when it doesn't the readers are sorely disappointed.
That's what happened with this novel.
The situations in the novel are contrived, the personalities of governments are distorted so as to let the MC get his way. For example, the MC went to North Korea and blew up a ton of shit, threatened the North Korean leader's life, and gets off scot free because - get this - the North Korean leader is secretly a fan of the Roused.
The MC beats up a guild leader live on TV and yet he is not taken to prison for assault. Why?
He makes enemies through pure recklessness left and right (several large top-tier guilds, the north korean government, the south korean government, the US government, and counting) and nobody things of doing things to disturb him like kidnapping his family or girlfriend or anything.
If you are making enemies with governments and large organizations with significant amounts of resources, influence, not to mention PEOPLE WITH f*ckING SUPERPOWERS, I would expect them to be sending assassins and hitmen after you and your family and anyone associated with you. The fact that this doesn't happen at all is another weird thing. It's like the entire universe conspires to let the MC have his way.
Chapter 94 is the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back for me. He gets attacked by a terrorist (hired by one of the 72 minions of Trahnet). Okay. Then he goes on a rampage and decides to "kill all terrorists". I'm not sure if this is a translation error or... what is his definition of a terrorist, exactly? What counts as a terrorist organization? Anyone who wants to blow up other people for political purposes? How the f*ck is he going to find all of those people?
I can understand this if he has telepathy. He doesn't. He can see people's souls, but that didn't stop him from getting blown up by a girl who had a pure soul. So he can't actually tell, just by looking, who is a terrorist and who is not. So I ask again how the f*ck is he going to kill all the terrorists? How does he know who is a terrorist and who isn't? No answer. The novel just says yeah so he kills all the terrorists. gg. Doesn't give any indication of how he accomplished this task, which by all that we know about his abilities, should be impossible for him. The thing is these terrorists could be hiding in the mountains or anywhere, and he doesn't have any abilities that will let him just sniff them out.
It just smacks of the worst types of power fantasy. You know the ones where you get to disregard world governments and just do whatever the f*ck you want, assault people on live TV and get off scot-free, kill all the insurgents (that Soviet and later Coalition forces couldn't root out after decades of constant fighting and trillions of $$$ spent) and kill hostages without consequences etc. Which would be okay if his abilities allowed him to do it, but he clearly does not have these powers (the least that would be required is telepathy, else you have no way to kill all terrorists), plus everyone else acts ret*rded (not attacking his family etc). Just... not as well thought out as I expected it to be, I guess.
What can I say, it's pretty bad. The character is downright unlikable due to his way of intruding into other people's lives as well as his complete incompetence. You'd think that after surviving hell, that he'd be pretty smart on his feet. Nope, he instantly gets scammed. He doesn't do any actual research after returning to his planet, which suddenly had dungeons popping up which had monsters from the hell he had been through. I actually can't put my thoughts into words well because of how bad the novel is. The novel feels like it's actually focusing on the s*upidity of the characters in it instead of the world which could have been interesting. (Especially the guy who offers to be the MC's s*ave thinking he owed way more than what the MC was asking for despite the MC trying to decline. The guy is probably in the novel to serve as the brains / common sense of the brainless MC but even his "introdution" to the part is done s*upidly) Basically, it's a novel which is extremely shallow. It's extremely lazily made, from the descriptions, "comedy", conversations, etc., to the whole "game-like" system. Honestly, for me, most Korean mmorpg novels are just like the equivalent of Mangas where authors just keep using fanservice / ecchi illustrations to draw readers in. Most have absolutely no substance (there are gems among the genre though). People who like OP MCs might like it or those who like uhhh... "light" / "simple" humor / tone. Honestly though, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. I mean, I find it to be this bad despite only being 31 chapters in. Terrible considering almost all novels get worse when they each 100+ chapters. [Original Review]
Won't be rating it yet since there's not enough chapters to actually rate but I guess I'll check it out again when there's 20 translated chapters or more already. Based on the 8 chapters I've read so far though I guess it's okay. That doesn't say much though since it's easy to start writing mmorpg-based novels. You basically just think of an mmorpg you've played and describe stats / classes / skills / items / quests / etc for the first few chapters. It's also pretty easy to cheat the word count by spamming character/ item stats. We'll see though. Right now the novel is still just explaining basic mmorpg elements and a little of the MC's background story. Hoping this doesn't become like the typical LMS/Ark type of novel where greed is pretty much the MC's driving force. Also hoping that the MC doesn't just keep getting OP items / skills etc like most mmorpg based novels. One thing I'm worried about though is the translator. Looks like he's just trying to translate different novels and trying to have a feel of which one will earn more. Right now he's releasing chapters every 1.8 days but If I remember correctly, he's translating 4 novels and his schedule is to release 2 chapters for 2 novels every week. That means that he'll alternate which novels he releases chapters for, so expect only 2 chapters every other week for this novel (unless donations come in). Also read in one of his posts that he's going to be busier. Oh well, we'll see what happens to the novel and the translation.
dual classes
1) take over Korea 2) take over the world 3) become the biggest enemy of the entire universe and all its dimensions.
A few scenes managed to attract most my attention thanks to their let's call it less than usual way to depict a protagonist:
One of them is when Melody, the high priest of the other world acts like a s*ave towards him because of his reputation, treating him like an evil god. Second, his march in the desert with tens of thousands of summoned beings to destroy some terror group that was hired to kill him
Why? More exactly, he downsized the protagonists evil actions by giving him some cheesy backstory
he didn't attack anyone, he just protected his land, he only became a monarch over a territory no one wanted, etc etc
We get crap like inter dimensional conflicts that resemble a game of Starcraft with the possibility of a duel between the two lords as revenge by the losing party. The 72 minions of the evil god that wanted to invade the planet are suddenly acting like chess players, while other worlds have entered the stage. I sh*t you not, the entire world is f**king attacked by a huge army of another world, yet the 72 minions that are way stronger than these shitheads haven't sent their armies to do the same thing. The story slowed its already snail like pace to raise the levels of the rest of the protagonist party, his sister is suddenly sick with some god seed which can make her capable of receiving information and power from one god that will chose her, and next who knows, maybe his mother will become terminator. The last chapters detail the invasion of the planet of those that have previously tried to invade earth. Which should take a while as other characters suddenly joined the party
