This was one of the most engaging reads I have read so far and I absolutely loved it!

The plot (though most might disagree) is more or less basic. The protagonist is super smart and is fighting (in his own way) against the system and in the process, discovering secrets and uncovering the past. But the way this was written and how each arc was plotted was brilliant! The translation did the book justice and despite the lack of romance, (that I love reading) (there was some romance... and... more>> the MC and ML were just so sexy, but their romance isn't the main theme of the book tbh) I was totally hooked to the story and kept looking forward to what might happen next.

I loved each and every character and how they immediately had me rooting for them.

I would totally recommend this book to anyone who likes- action, (very little) gore, different story arcs, a power couple, and wouldn't mind giving something good a try.

If one is not a big fan of what I mentioned above, I would still suggest them to read a few chapters and then take a call. <<less

This novel is not one of my favorite but I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. I think this is the first time I had read a novel that follow this kind of plot line and I liked it.

There weren’t a lot of filler chapters, which I appreciated and as I was reading further into the novel and things started to become unveiled, I was abled to emphasized with the MC/ML situation. And I loved how the ending was written. It was nice.

I can see why some people might not like this... more>> in the beginning, but you have to actually read through the whole story. A lot of things that didn’t make sense in the beginning will make sense later on.

Overall, it was a solid novel. <<less

A good one if you ignore some of the plot holes like the system background and the exam (which is illogical) . I love the interaction between MC and ml. The chemistry and teamwork between them good and the two of them is op and a troublemaker themselves so the story is quite entertaining especially the reactions of each party subordinates. It's hilarious.

I honestly really loved this novel, from beginning up until the end. For me, it had a very interesting plotline that got be interested since the very beginning. The novel also addressed and answered many, if not all of the questions that I had while reading. If I had a complaint, it would most likely be that there weren't more chapters— honestly, I would have loved to read more of this!
However, the ending itself is satisfying enough for me, I'm merely sad that it had to end.

The characters in this story are very well written in my honest opinion, and the world that this novel has built is intriguing to me.

Overall, this novel is an extremely good read, and I would definitely come back and read it all over again once I get the chance!

The story is beautiful and very interesting but what I liked the most was that there were no betrayals in the story. I mean when the situation is so bad, death and betrayal should be common but they all still stuck together. Plus I think all the characters got a happy ending, I'm personally not a fan of sad endings.

Good progression that won't get me bored, there's not much suspense or mystery because it was quite obvious and the story line can be quite cliche (if you read many stories, BL or non-BL). Can obviously see the love between the MC and ML but would love to see more loving actions or lovey dovey scenes. :3 too bad there's no extras but maybe the author might include one in the future?

Excellent novel. Has a bit of a slow start but as the plot unravels you slowly get s**ked in into the mystery of the system and the MC and ML's past.

Great plot, great world-building, great characters. A+++

To be honest, I wasn't really interested in this novel at first because it seemed to be just blood and gore from defeating enemies, and I stuck with it for the horror. But the more I read the more nuanced (and interesting!) it got so I ended up binging the entire thing in three days haha

However, the relationship between the ML and the MC, and all their close comrades, was really beautiful. Towards the end I could really feel the desperation that the characters had as if I was in... more>> the same situation as them, so the writing is super captivating. Also, I would say that the affections between the ML and the MC transcends lifetimes, in a way.

One thing I was pleasantly surprised about is that it doesn't focus too much on the darker parts of humanity, like backstabbing or framing others.

The translation was also one of the best I've read, with no phrases that left me wondering what the heck they meant. <<less

Rating: 5/5- Excellent, intriguing, witty and solidly written. A fantastic plot to follow from start to finish.

I really enjoyed reading this novel. It was brilliantly paced and each arc was very interesting. For the first time amnesia wasn’t treated as a single trigger resolves all issues, trope. It was realistic and well plot out.

I loved all the characters and the interactions and chemistry between them, along with the character growth and teamwork. Probably the best I’ve read in a long time.

The romance for me, was very subtle and as much... more>> as it did play a significant role in how the plot progressed, I felt that it didn’t really steal the show and ideally the showdown of man vs machine was the highlight of the novel.

It was a wonderful reading experience, beautifully written and translated. Highly recommend reading this. <<less

This is One of the Absolutely Most Amazing Fantastic Beautiful Precious Novel I have ever read in my Entire Life So Far!!!

It has Amazing Actions, Amazing Plot, and all the Main and Side/Supportive Characters is AMAZING!!!

The only flaw I can think is
Spoiler

Okay but was it mentioned how the people who is not in Army become Examinee? If it mentioned, I forgot!

But if not, seriously, how???
Like how they suddenly inside the system? Were they zapped by electricity and then taken by the System? Or were they already hospital patients? But that doesn't work for Yu Wen since we know he was healthy young adult/teen.
Seriously, how??? How far in the future they are to have that kind of technology to be able to took everyone even children to be an Examinee without warning???

[collapse]

It might tagged as Yaoi, but
Spoiler

the actual story doesn't have s*x scene. Sure the mentioned of heavy breathing in the heat of the moments and fingers tangled and they kiss. But that's it!!!

[collapse]

People literally could mistake this as Non-BL novel until the part where
Spoiler

Qin Jiu had a thought of wanting to bite You Huo's bare neck. And then of course when they finally kiss.

[collapse]
.

Also first time I actually read where the characters actually
Spoiler

tried to break the system! The AI!!! THE SYSTEM!!!

[collapse]

Anyway, the Teamwork feels is AMAZING!!! The Characters is Amazing!!! The Story is Perfectly Amazing!!! It's Perfect for me so I LOVE IT FOR THE ETERNITY AND BEYOND!!!

Wow! Global University Entrance Examination certainly exceeded my expectations. I didn't expect to find anything as good or even remarkably close to The Earth is Online. And while The Earth is Online is the best, all time, this hits the spot for everything you like about it and plus some more dog food.

Global University Entrance Examination contians a series of exams each examinee must go through and pass, or they die. There are some rest stops, extra points, etc. The story isn't as focused on the exams itself as much... more>> as the MC and the ML and their story (or backstory) and the fight against the system. The translation is pretty good and the writing is amazing. I'm glad the translator was able to carry that over.

The story and the writing was beautiful. It hits all the emotional spots. <<less

I read this for 2 weeks but I was very impressed this binge-trip it’s was very funny at the beginning (really many good jokes) was pretty excting and very sad. The plot is really quality, I admire it because characters who you consider as a cannon fodder, everyone of them have connections and play a big role in the story. Honestly I expected that many of them just die or people will become cruel or inhumanly mu*derers. But all of them stayed kind and fair people. Also it's not a... more>> plot with endless survival games which can't be explained. There are very overthinked setting. I also adore relationship between main characters, it was difficult and interesting way. They’re cute couple.
(Ah I want to read manhua I saw first chapter when started read novel and they’re everyone so beautiful.) <<less

This novel is one of my favorites. Let me state my reasons:

1. Every arc is well written, especially the mind games since the system's questions were unreliable. The plot is also very cool!

2. Even though both MC and ML are OP, they weren't boring like lifting a finger then the problem is resolved, instead they make every scene exciting, thrilling and crazier.

3. Despite being an action/thriller story, it's comedy is gold. The funniest moments here when the couple was in their craziest. Since I like comedy very much and not... more>> only that, this also made me chuckle a lot, I'll give this a perfect score!

4. Side characters have enough screentime and they didn't feel like 'air'. Justice is served!

5. MC and ML's romance isn't fluffy but they were 'cute' and probably this couple is one of my favorite as well. I just love their interactions and teasing with each other.

However, since plot is a bit ambitious especially in regards to the setting and the system, there were some minor plot holes. The last couple of arcs wasn't really that descriptive like the earlier arcs which made me a little confused. But who cares? I am very satisfied with the ending.

I also want to commend the translation, it was very good!

No need to ask, I highly recommend this. <<less

Just 1 thought. This novel is frekin awesome. The horror, the actions, suspend, mystery, the comedy and the romance, are all fantastic. They’re alot of confusion at the start, (lol maybe I am a bad student, the subject exam makes me s*upid) but the whole novel simply so good. Later the the fluff is amazing romantic. The humour also very good. But the whole story and plot twist comes together so beautifully. The poignant journey of the protagonist and all the ppl trap there all want to make... more>> you cry and the ending just so satisfying. The translation also awesome. Thank you KK! Highly recommended read! <<less

I liked it a lot! The plot is interesting and intriguing. There were no boring or unnecessary chapters, and there were no obvious plot holes. The relationship between MC and ML is one of the best written among those novels I have read so far; as for me, their story was touching and romantic. The translation is really-really good! Thank you very much for your work, KK! Your translation made the story even better.

Which is the MC and which is the ML? I couldn't tell.

Love how they fall in love three times due to the system's habit of erasing memories. That is true love

I started to know about this author from 'A certain someone' (also the author's work) & was totally captivated by the author's writing style!

And now, after reading this, this author has really become one of my favourite authors. The writing style is beautiful yet relaxed & so smooth. The humors are also worth the laughters. And most of all, I've always love the couple's banters in all of this author's novel.

Ehem. As for this story itself, the plot is definitely interesting. The examinations are thrilling but quite easy for reader... more>> to understand. There is angst in this story but it was mainly from the past of the main couple.

And for the couple, they're both one doesn't lose from the other in term of madness & mischieviousness. They're basically the genius troublemakers! And the romance between them, yes it is so deep & whole & touching (it similar vibe as HuaLian from TGCF) the MC is cold & always indifferent except you can see that ML is his ice-breaking point & his emotional fluctuation mainly due to ML (My God he really100x loves the ML) ML? Yes, every reader would love him, he is the troublemaker & also moodmaker (the sun that breakthrough MC icy-cold life)

Another thing I love about this story is that, in the examination, there is very little malicious killing between participants. Instead it's mainly focus on MC & his team solving the exam together (& at later part of the story, ganging up on the exam subject together LOL)

Great penmanship from the author and an interesting plot to boot. For those seeking a good thriller and mystery, I highly recommend this piece as the author is a master at setting up plot and foreshadowing. Both the main character and male lead made a quick debut as well and the development of their relationship and character was albeit slow-burnt, very alluring.

I've given this piece a 4/5 based on personal taste. I much prefer romance that bubble up excitedly, but as both of the characters are highly stoic and in... more>> control over themselves, it takes a lot of the romantic tension and anticipation out of the equation and for me, those are the fun parts about reading a BL novel. In fact, the main character doesn't speak much and the interaction between the two is less than what would get my blood pumping. More than squealing on the edge of my seat for them to "kiss already", there's a sort of exhaustion in me waiting for what I know is to come and a sense of relief for when it finally does happen.

There is also a big question left unsolved for me after having went through all of it, which is
Spoiler

how the system manages to remotely "pull" people's consciousness into its examinations. I get that it has immeasurable power within the system itself but I don't understand how it has power in real life, when it's just a machine. For example, when it could remotely extract the consciousness of the two female doctors when they were at the professor's house, even though they were nowhere near the machine itself

[collapse]
.

Other than the unexplained point stated above. This is a fairly interesting read and I'd highly recommend it for those more interested in mysteries and thriller. <<less

Beginning was slow to me and soooo hard to get through, but I kept going and really ended up enjoying the story!

MC and ML are s*upid and cute even with their bad attitudes.
