The end of the novel is GEUFUUDJUTG ARGHHHHH I. I don't like the endings which are basically. "Imagine your own end, cos we're lazy so. Yeah. Think for yourself and all jazz" LIKE, NO, WE KNOW FOR SURE WHAT HAPPENED

dokja for sure gets reformed, but the rest is simply. Not written

and so the countless readers are now dreaming about the continuation of their own happy end

eeeh I think I finally stopped grieving the ending so. Happy thoughts happy thoughts!! *Gets depressed and shuts down*

also the prologue is basically the end.

"A web novel platform filled the screen of my old smartphone. I scrolled down and then up again. How many times have I been doing this?

“Really? This is the end?”

I looked again, and the ‘complete’ was unmistakable.

The story was over."

AND THAT'S US

[THATSUSTHATSUSTHATSUS]

circle is complete

I finished reading like two hours ago I'm still high

AND DOKJA DID IN FACT PAID FOR THE EPILOGUE DIDN'T HE

FUUUUUUU-

Strength:

• The premise is unique, the concept of constellation watching/being sponsors, the people as 'actors', the Dokkaebi as the 'youtuber' kind of roles. Although I read quite some of the tropes I mention above, this concept is new to me so it was something refreshing.
• Side characters are not useless. The side characters have their own stories and some maybe even stronger than our MC. They have character development too, some even more than the MC
• Exploring on human emotions as we see the people face ordeals and challenges based on the decision they make, be it physical challenge or mental ones. This make the characters less 2D.
• Breaking the 4th wall on some of the novel cliches we see often.
• The story about all the gods is quite interesting to read about since I don't really read up about this stuff on my own. It can be quite informative for some of us who don't know much about the gods if you ignore the bias parts of the author against some gods. I like when author does research for the materials they use in their story, though I'm not sure how accurately it was portrayed in the novel.
• Not really a point but something I ponder about (?). In a sense I feel we are similar to the constellation, hoping to see more refreshing 'stories' while 1st generation stories are slowly being neglected, yet we miss the feeling of reading '1st generation' stories for the first time. Although not as extreme and godly as the constellation to the point of desiring bloodshed for stories, I feel that we are similar in the sense of our comments, sometimes praising, sometimes bashing authors. Seeing this being talked about in a novel is quite contemplative. There are also other contemplative things incorporated in a novel which is interesting to see and ponder about.
• Biased point: As a fujoshi I'm happy with the bromance moments. Also appreciate that there's no romance cause harem is getting annoying. Even if there's no harem, usually romance in this kind of novel is not executed well. If it's executed well then its okay.

Weakness:

1. • Repetitive. I think this is a point mentioned in a number of review which I agree.
     The MC: Although the arc each time is different, at one point you just feel: Even if he dies he is not gonna die anyway. He's just going to comeback stronger. His party will just feel worried/angry that he 'dies' without telling them anything. MC starts apologizing, party member forgives him, then he repeats this whole sh*t again.

     Antagonist: Not sure if the author got something against the gods but anyway: The Olympian gods. At first it was okay, I didn't mind the author trying to make some gods antagonist since this is a story and all that but. In this story there is the concept of probability, and the olympian gods trying to impede the MC consumes the probability. They did so many grand scale thing and consumed so much probability just to hinder the MC, and MC being the MC survives and comes back stronger. That's okay. Then next moment, you see the same group of antagonist disturbing the MC again. Like what??? What happened to the probability?? They do it so many times it makes me wonder just what is the point of the probability. Then when the MC face probability issue his body always disintegrating like paper burning. Then here comes plot armor and MC survives. Seriously. Then next this sh*t repeats with other antagonist gods after the olympian gods suddenly got some other issues to take care of.

     
     Relationship: I might be biased with this point but I'm honestly tired with the sudden falling out that happens at the most crucial moments. I get that they may have arguments and all due to misunderstanding and the tough things they experience, but this sh*t happens so many times as if the previous talking outs were a joke.

     Maybe I'm just not empathetic enough with the characters?

     
     Unexpected: I see this word a whole damn lot, especially when said by the MC. He always says its unexpected, but somehow he always got some countermeasures. Then what is so unexpected about this? First few times I was unexpected to see the unexpected word but after seeing it for the Nth time its not so unexpected anymore, the MC just gonna solve it anyway, at most 'die' a few times. I guess I'm just doing the same thing Dokja did to jonghyuk, complaining its repetitive.

1. • Plot armor execution: Since we are reading this kind of OP MC novel, we all know that the plot armor is there. However, the plot armor is not well executed here. We already know the MC has plot armor yet the author is shoving that fact into our face. This is linked to the previous point about how MC keeps 'dying' but comes back anyway or how things are 'unexpected' but the MC got backup plan anyway cause he knows future information - of which we get to know it only after MC execute all his back up plan. Since the MC is not actually going to die anyway, I would rather get to know the future information alongside the MC and know what he is doing while he is doing it, not after everything is over. I also see others talking about how the author is mystifying everything unnecessarily which I agree.

This part is not related to the novel content itself but the issue of the change in translator.

Overall I'm appreciative of both translator. They both did a good job in translating the novel as I see their efforts in making the translation smooth and comprehensible.

There are many complains about the change of name and terms. As a reader myself, I understand why people are unhappy as we are already used to the terms and names used for around 300 chapters and a change in name makes it hard for us to adapt all of a sudden. English readers may find it easier to read the more 'english' versions of the name. However, I also understand the translator wish to be as accurate as possible with the translation. I guess its more of the style of translation? It's not that hard to adapt, just read the chapter a few more times and you will get use to the name. The translator is also making an effort to bring the novel to us so let us be appreciative of it as we are not entitled beings. Names and terms aside, I can see that the translation is of good quality and comprehensible. As a reader we all know how terrible it is to see a novel stop being translated halfway. I'm thankful for the first translator who brought us through more than half the novel, and the second translator for taking time to finish the other half, though I only read a part of it.

As a translator myself, it is quite discouraging when we see these excessively negative comments. I'm not saying its wrong to complain about the translations as these comments can serve to improve the translator's translating skills, but comments can be done so more constructively and not with excessive hate.

Perhaps both translators and readers can learn from this.

The concept about how the world is created and how the MC can star in it is never really explained properly. Yeah there is the "Most Ancient Dream" but how everything started is never uncovered. Even if someone wrote the novel that the MC reads and has to read to keep the world lines alive gives no explanation how the first word line started.

Our Main Character encounters a problem and solves it, which so happens to coincide with the very imminent conflict he is about to face. The conflict arrives, and our characters are outclassed/outsmarted, but they manage to win anyway. BUT WAIT A SECOND, a second, worse, problem arises, this time the characters don't have any hope..... until MC-kun (I mean Kim) pulls out a deus ex machina out of his ass, solves everything, and then disappears for a while, usually by fake dying.

(Which he has, but it is cured very early on)

I wanna change my pookie squid's end! Please he deserves a happy ending! I want him to be reunited with his companions (especially yjh).

your stories aka your experiences turn into your power. Its really abstract since stories can basically do whatever you want so your skills arent clear at all. It basically means if you did that intetesting thing ages ago you can now stomp on everyone that did a lot of mediocre stuff in the past.

its a time paradox explained by "dont think about it or your head will hurt"

It gets annoying how every single turn he has to sacrifice himself, his companions are even tired of him doing that. He claims he won't again, but does it again. How is he different from Yu Junghyeok in the end. Yu Junghyeok too commits su*cide so he can save his friends.

Dokja basically gave Trauma to his friends to the point where even near the end they don't even trust him. Sure they trust him during scenarios but for the ending of these scenarios you can see each one of them, as the novel goes on, they don't trust him when he says everything going to be ok. Gosh this sucks. It leaves a bad taste in the mouth having to read a novel where only sacrificing oneself means giving a happy ending to others.

And what with that ending. It was soo frustrating. After soo much HE. AGAIN SACRIFICES. HIMSELF. oh my God. I sacrificed soo much of my sleep because I wanted a satisfying ending but I'm seriously so annoyed.

I really enjoyed the concept of this story, however if the same thing keep happening over and over, readers are going to get bored. Even the ending makes you frustrated.

In the end due to dokja's action, his friends had to regress, had to face once again from the beginning that awful world, sure they have experience but the fact that they hesitated before deciding to regress shows how much trauma they had.
