The Second Coming of Gluttony

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

“The son of god Gula has returned.”

I was lost in the world of gambling.

I turned my back on my family and even betrayed my lover.

I wasted every day of my life.

It was a life of tr*sh.

The reality told me thus:

That I would amount to nothing no matter what I did.

In order to change my pathetic life, I chose fantasy, instead.

Even then, it was the same story.

I wondered if salvation would come at the end of the long road.

But, I was forced to kneel down in defeat in front of a powerful entity.

The tower I built up with my own hands crumbled into nothingness.

Just for once, I dearly wished to know the truth about myself.

“Come closer, my child…”

I will not hold back this time.

Chapter 78: An absolutely awesome novel~!

The emotions and characters are interesting. Can't wait for more. I felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster. I feel like this is the best redemption and one of the best character growth novels. It's probably one of my favorite Korean novels now too, haha.

I read 78 chapters in one go (just shows how awesome it is) while listening to Sekai no Owari's LOVE SONG. I feel like the song overall matches the novel really well.

... more>> Chapter 363: Still an absolutely awesome novel~!

Okay so, the quality hasn't dropped. Nice. I'm going into more detail now.

The MC is a cute MC who can become scary. He's not a dark/edgy CN MC. He's a prankster sometimes and denser than a black hole. The most annoying thing about this novel is how the MC is extremely talented at staying chaste and dodging women (legit, the author baits shippers/harem fans). Don't get me wrong, it's not really a harem. It's a platonic harem so far. There are cute moments, but nothing really super romantic. This novel is great because the side characters don't drag the MC down, but bring the MC and the story up. I really enjoy the platonic female-male relationships.

Some of the side characters seem to be more popular than the MC in the comment section lmao. The author is really good at keeping old characters/details relevant instead of forgetting them. Speaking of the MC, reasons for his denseness and weird reactions are kinda explained later.

This novel stands out because the MC was a gambling addict. His past is ENTIRELY RELEVANT to the plot. I really appreciate how, unlike most isekai or transported to another world stories, the MC's past stays relevant to the story, even after 300 chapters. A person's past really influences who they become, so it's great that author doesn't neglect the MC's development beyond fighting. His interactions with his family... are definitely included in the best parts of the novel. His relationship with his family is portrayed beautifully, in my opinion.

Oh yeah, the fight scenes are fun. The comedy is kinda childish, but hella wholesome. This is one of my favorite novels (definitely top 10). Ah, the cliffhangers are intense so I'm waiting for the translation to get closer to the end. <<less

I've been reading novels for many years already, found many hidden gems and over-rated craps, saw some newbie praising or denouncing a novel with his lacking experience, data base, and IQ. But what I can say is that this thing right here! Is a start of a new legend!

This novel is a rising star. Just like how "warlock of the magus world" tops my AI novels, "reaincarnated as a slime" starts my isekai mayhem, and "overlord" dominates my op protagonist, This novel's potential makes my thirst and passion for novels... more>> aflame!!

I recommend everyone to try reading it and help the authors/translators to produce more chapters!! <<less

After weeks of wading through dozens of chapters of mediocre web novels I come across this one. After reading the first few chapters I was pretty bored, but the great reviews kept me optimistic. I am now 45 chapters in and I can safely say this is one of my favorite novels I have read. If you aren't hooked on this novel after the first few chapters, I urge you to keep reading because it gets a lot more interesting. It is such a pity that the translator decided to... more>> drop this, but maybe if we can get more people interested he will pick it back up, or someone else will continue where he left off. I urge you to give this novel a try and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! <<less

It's one of the nice korean novel with other world "action, plots including time travel". It has a decent content too every chapter contents makes you satisfied. It is one of best KR novels of this genre. MC is good, plots are decent too there's character development too inshort a fun read. Some may consider MC is a bit lucky but offcourse its a fantasy novel you got to use a bit of your imagination can't let the MC die from the start lol. It's a shame that translator has... more>> put this on hiatus !!! Start translating this people !!!! Can't let such a decent story die like some others. <<less

Sadly, it has being dropped by the translator because of low popularity, but I thought I would put my 2 cents and give this novel 5 stars to keep the rating high. It's one of the best novels out there. Once you get to chapter 20 and the character development starts, it becomes so much better. I'd highly recommend you to read at least until that chapter before you stop reading the novel for the MC's initial annoying personality. You won't regret it. Hopefully another translator picks this Gem up... more>> soon. Have a good day everyone. <<less

This is a great story, gambling addict that becomes a warrior.

Good character development and plot, I feel that the pacing is good and there are lots of clever things still coming.

I hope this series continues to be translated, it has been done pretty well.

This novel has characters with real emotions instead of cardboard cutouts hosed down with the flanderized ideals of Asian masculinity. I genuinely empathize with the main character, and that almost never happens with the translated novellas on this website. I'm excited to see how the author manages to keep this up.

Up to ch 43 this is a story about a despicable human being and his attempts at redemption.

Unlike other novels where the surrounding characters says the main character is tr*sh or garbage (at cultivation or just being human in general) for the sake of a low starting point for the author to rapidly inflate, here the readers actually can feel how much of a human scum the main character really is and be disgusted at him. I even depised him at the start.

And by becoming stronger in another world and... more>> having a few potential romantic interests noticing him doesn't automatically gets him get-out-of-jail-free card of his past tr*shiness. And that's what I love about this novel.

I'll try to be vague to avoid spoillers but where I'm up to, the main character Seol is still trying to overcome his broken lifestyle for the past 3-4 years that had hurt many around him including himself. The author isn't forgiving enough to let things to be done and dusted and makes Seol confront his shitty life choices even after he gets a pat on the back from some powerful people in another world. And Seol himself is aware of this, he doesn't expect forgiveness and understands he don't deserve it but he just wants those he cares about to hurt no longer.

P.S Also I've got to give the translator (& editor) some praise, though there are little bits where the sentences didn't flow that well, the scenes that had the biggest impact on me the most were the emotional ones and I believe they did an excellent job at conveying that across in english. The internal monologue, the dialogue and bits of subtle actions made me really feel Seol's struggle. <<less

This novel is just too good!! The characters (except for mobs if you know what I mean) are written with depth, you'll honestly symphatize with the MC since he really wants to change, he always reminds himself and honestly if he doesn't have his gambling problems and just reading through the novel, the MC is really smart, he plans ahead and sometimes emotions do get ahead of him but there's a person to keep him in check or at least he tries to devise his plan everytime if it doesn't... more>> work. It feels like D&D honestly, haven't played the game but I've been watching some youtubers who plays the game and wow its really like a D&D novel. If you've been having a drought of novels to read, like me, then this will ignite your gusto with novels!

Worth a shot to read, give it a try, 50 chapters or so and I promise you you'll be hooked! :D <<less

After reading almost every Korean novel registered on NU, I have to say this is one of the best.

Who cares about reviews, anyone thinking about reading this, you'll get hooked by the first chapter.

I'd also like to comment on how thrown off I was after Seol ... more>>
Spoiler

went to visit his brother and sister. I was expecting at least a little bit of forgiveness like it in other novels, but the anger and emotion in that chapter was, thinking about it, so raw and realistic.

This novel deserves way more attention.

I have read many Japanese, Korean, and Chinese web novels, and yet this novel easily comes at the top of my reading list. This rare gem absolutely deserves its rating inmo, and some reviewers should reconsider rereading the novel to understand and appreciate some rare elements that are seldom found in other isekai novels, yet abundant and overflowing in this one.

This novel is way better than most of the tr*sh out there currently; definitely should be on the first page of the Series Ranking. I read through the current available chapters in a day and a bit. Great character development and world building; can't wait to see what the remaining chapters have to offer. I hope that more people read this novel so more chapters can be translated for my own selfish reasons. This is the first time I have decided to write a review for anything ever, so I... more>> hope that whoever reads this review also reads the book. <<less

Pity that this novel is not popular enough. Easily one of the few enjoyable stories you could find on this site about second chance, but I'm not sure why it is not popular, maybe not simple enough for people who can only enjoy tropey novels?

This novel is overrated. I wanted to give this 3, but the rating doesn't work well on an iPad so 2 it is. The translation is excellent, the story is decent and it flows very well, but the characters are mostly bad, the MC being the worst of them. He really is the greatest demerit of the series.

First of all, he somehow transformed from "greatest human being" alive from the age of 12 till the early twenties, at which point he got addicted to gambling and became worst human being... more>> alive. This doesn't make any sense and is hardly explained at all. There is no real reason for him to get addicted, weird no one of his extended loving family or obsessive girlfriend noticed until it was way way too late, and then they acted like dupes for a while until they decided they hate him and started ignoring him.

The MC's mentality through most of the story is the mentality of a 15 year old while the story starts when he is 26 and goes on for several years, even though we know the MC had a full and complicated life until about 23. He led his family through several familial issues and economic problems, had a long time girlfriend with which he slept regularly and he finished an engineering degree from the top college in the country while mentally and financially supporting the girlfriend. Ah, he is also extremely good looking and a genius ramen chef. Highly successful human being by all accounts. Gets addicted to gambling, gets de-addicted (in the first chapter) by getting the "feelings" of his bitter battle hardened future self and... starts acting like a teenager. Doesn't make sense to you ? Yes, I know.

Then, there is a half running joke, half plot device about how his girlfriend and mother brainwashed him so his weird and inane sexless harem building and anime character like behavior make sense, but it doesn't because the rest of the world building is much more mature. Just out of place and silly. Also, if they had such control of him, it makes even less sense he got addicted to gambling without them noticing.

At some point he wrestles naked with a very hot 20 something year old woman he likes and that that likes him back and then they just go to sleep, and this is after a near death experience. What ? It is just ridiculous and doesn't fit the world.

There is the "philosophy" he develops which really fits an edgy 15 year old.
Then there is his refusal to use his future predicting powers because they are too OP and Plot.

So the character arc of the MC is very central to the story and it is ridiculous and annoying, the rest is mostly fun. There are other problems with the story, but it is fine overall. <<less

I feel like I could write a whole book about the frustrations I have on this novel. But it gets so chaotic in my head I don't even have the will to properly explain it. But first, I rated it 1/5, but in all fairness you can easily give it 4/5 as far as novelupdates' standard go.

To keep it short. This novel has some really great moments, and some really awful moment. Fortunately, it is mostly 80% good 20% awful (thus 4/5) but all I can remember it is the... more>> 10% headache inducing of the 20% awful part.

Character development is awful in this novel. Are there development? Yes! But development need to makes sense. Author mostly fail to make it believable, and force it through author privilege if that makes sense.

I end up hating most character in this novel. It's to the point I upvoted a comment of someone saying "Damn, at this point, the protagonist should just betray his allies and join the enemies".

There is a very weird sense of morality in this novel. Gambling? ULTIMATE EVIL. Cigarette and alcohol addict? Not bad. Drug user? Pretty good. Torturing people in some truly sick manner as a hobby? Marry me. Grooming, brainwashing, and training like a dog a child? eternal love <3. I wish I was joking, but that's all I can conclude from what I've read so far.

And... argh. I said I would keep it short but see what I'm doing. Anyway, stop. All in all, I can't recommend this novel since I got so frustrated with it I'm surprised myself, but there are plenty of good moments too... <<less

Have high expectation but hit hard with reality.

Kind of annoying when this have same standing as Overlord and LOTM.

Many reviewers give this a very high rating, and that make me hook up to read this but---disappointing.

... more>> Bfr I talk about other things lets talk about MC.

☆SO~Many says MC dev. Are realistic ?? Then-- why I see the MC suddenly turn a complete 180° in his persona from a bastard to a complete Naive, and japanese isekai type??? Without even a bit of his former persona, and in only a single night at that??? Yeah I know human can change, but, thats not so very sudden and just only one night like that. Such plot hole.

☆Then lets talk about other chara.

■ First the FLs, U know about the ex girlfriend of MC? Many says she is the true manipulator that lead to MC demise?? Thats the truth. She in fact, already manipulate MC since childhood, even when he bcm gambler, she have her own share of his sins.

■ Then another FL Seo Yuhui aka Mother Duck. That have unconditional love that cross space and time. Another one that have interest on rearing him.
Spoiler

she the same as MC, send her memories to the past

[collapse]

■ Then the princess haramark, that have a very strong urge to r*pe him...
Spoiler

and that happen, she drug him.... bc he is so fcking dense

[collapse]

☆Well----the Romance itself, pretty much a mesh garbage, like how u see in Japan-Isekai-novel.

☆Side chara, they not easily forgotten and always have some sort background story that---not too important for me, except for make more word count. Including the so-called 7 Gods. Just WOW! Such a useless deity, better change to AI system. Not have much contribution except to become a SUPERMARKET.

☆Villain/Enemy, one thing, too much talk, and OP as fck!.

I already know that MC will need Plot Armor when fighting them, even when other reviews says MC not using Plot Armor..

... and then it happen, the Plot Armor MC became a miracle invoker. What a dumb author, keep using ONE TIME POWER BOOSTER that priced with MC life (he died and then revived it happen more than once). And many still thoughts Plot Armor not used.

☆Battle are good, but thats it. In hopeless battle Plot Armor Joined MC, but in nomal battle, Plot Armor tease MC. Pretty much like CN.

A Disappointed story that rated and praised Really High.

Maybe hot-blooded teenage will love this. But not me, no with such Beta-MC. <<less

I have been reading webnovels for at least 6 years and this is one of the very few series I have read where the quality never dips. The author is masterful in balancing the action, world building, character development, and the general pace of the novel. I highly recommend anyone to read this as it is original in many aspects and mirrors a realistic way of human thinking (no arrogant young masters or sacred ancestor type of bs). Finally, the main protagonist of the story is the most well written... more>> one I have seen so far in webnovels (I'm only up to c73 so far). Truly a must read. <<less

I've read a lot of novels, korean novel have been my all around favorite but this one takes the cake, I read all 67 chapters in a day and just wish there were more out. I admit the story is pretty straightforward but the developments up to this point have kept me interested and wanting to read more.

Amazing is not nearly enough to describe how good this story is. Like everything from the original plot lines, to the amazing character depth and development, the pacing! Even the chapter length is amazing. The only down side is that it only releases 3 times a week. I truly wish I could give it more than 5 stars.

This novel is good with a superb translation. The MC's reincarnation plot point sets it apart from others of the same genre in that he doesn't rely on it as a crutch (except for the early chapters). It's got good character progression (at least for the MC) and solid world building.
