How to Survive as a Genius Spy in the Game

Description

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

Valhǫll, a fantasy game with a touch of modernity.

I thought I’d give it one last try with the rewards of achievements.

I acquired extraordinary traits like [Death Avoidance], [Ironman], [Winds], traits I wouldn’t have chosen in ordinary circumstances.

But I should have never started.

I fell into a game where reaching the ending seemed impossible.

With the body of an orphan wandering the market alleys.

[Devil’s Blood], [Worst Condition], [Eccentric Actions], [Mysophobia].

Plus burdened with hidden penalty traits.

“Damn it.”

Can I survive?

No. I must survive, no matter what it takes.

spoilers first 3 chapters
"With the body of an orphan wandering the market alleys."
MC stayed an orphan for a grand total of 1 (2?) chapter, during which MC was in a chase/run sequence until getting caught and switching careers.
"Plus burdened with hidden penalty traits."
the ret*rd MC didn't even bother to check his penalty traits, they're not hidden, MC even says that status window shows penalty traits (ch2). He does check it several chapters later, but would a Calm/Clever protagonist be this dumb.
"Can I survive?"
MC is not an orphan, this novel is not about an orphan MC surviving, it's about being a Spy.
whoever is responsible for making the synopsis should change their life goals, authors should not be allowed to write a synopsis for their own novels, they always write tr*sh that has nothing to do with the actual novel.
also game elements are quite non-existent, yeah they're there, but they're very minimal to the point you can spend dozens of chapters not hearing anything about "status window" or anything game related, apart from MC knowing the general plot of what will happen.
MC did not "acquire" those traits, he chose them.
"I fell into a game where reaching the ending seemed impossible."
again bs, the game did not have an ending so player character would get killed off in-game before reaching end-point, which simply means MC doesn't know how the game ends, not that it is impossible to win now that he got pulled into the game for real.
also just wondering, Mysophobia in this novel means that MC MUST brush his teeth every time he eats, it gets constantly mentioned to the point MC refuses to eat food cause he won't be able to brush his teeth afterwards. Is this real? I don't have mysophobia, but this seems excessive. No idea
oh yeah also MC turns into a p**syboy and for whatever unknown alien reason decides that he's in the wrong or that he cannot refuse to do something even though there is no reason to agree. MC literally apologized for over-sleeping, while the person who could have woken him up was just watching him the entire time. Whose fault is it then ffs. MC didn't want to do something, but still agreed to do it, because "I nodded my head. There was no use fighting a battle I couldn't win." wtf instead of refusing, he can't win a battle of words? Wtf is the point of Clever Protagonist and Genius Protagonist tags if MC is so f*cking ret*rded he can't even refuse a suggestion during his free time when he doesn't need to listen to anyone's orders

It's nice with its approach of the type of game and so on. The novel doesn't make the game he transmigrates into super popular or anything, it's just a suspicious game with players. Although he doesn't show it much, he cares for his friends and constantly grows through his different situations. Some parts are annoying like his [worst condition] trait cause it basically stops us from seeing his full potential...

Average and disappointing.

It was honestly going well, but the author was too much in a rush to try to bond the MC and the readers with the side characters.

A good read manipulates you subtly, without your notice. The author stretched his hand too far in this novel and I, noticing his manipulative intentions, couldn't feel immersed.

... more>> And the side characters are about as generic as korean side characters get.

The plot is also very safe, MC getting lucky all the time and avoiding all the more interesting stuff. Only one of the penalties is actually a penalty. And even then, it has a buff sometimes.

Overall, author plays it safe and generic, ending up somewhere in that pile of "tr*sh of the count's family" deformed clone variant novels. <<less

The plot of this novel is great and I like the premise a lot. There is no romance, which I like. The MC isn't that over powered because while he has great swordsmanship and powers, the other characters also have great powers. He also has worst condition, which makes him a lot weaker than what he's supposed to be like. Overall, I would definitely recommend this.
