Summary of the premise;

The Protagonist is transmigated to a game he plays a lot, to the point he knew every single nook of it. He was known for being calm and clever student, but then framed as a stalker. Feeling wronged, he used his game knowledge to attain hidden pieces in order to achieve revenge.

From the get go, this is an edgy novel. I have a feeling that the Author was prone to lean on what idea they think was cool then put it into the story. Such as being a Gunslinger and Legendary Blacksmith which I will reference to The Novel's Extra and Overgeared.

I notice some lack of explanation of the plots. For example, the novel didn't delve further into the Game Elements as in what caused people to have these, and the fact that blacksmithing didn't include any blacksmithing and merely function by "Click here and wait X amount of time to craft Y item" it's quite unfortunate that the Author didn't even try to develop an immersion for the sake of convenience.

I also felt a lot of the plots were... too convenient. Secret to gain Legendary classes that is no longer relevant, character's background that seemingly match with what the protagonist needs at the time, coincidence appearances, just to name a few.

While I do believe there's still a market for this kind of story (Gunslinger, Game Elements, Revenge, Gate, Academy Story, and etc.) It's still a saturated genre, especially given by the fact that the Auther mesh all of these together.

In the novel's justice, I didn't read it more than 20 chapters. What I've mentioned might change up to or beyond that point. Unfortunately, I felt I couldn't enjoy the story before reaching that point, but who knows? You might, and may even likes it. Don't let my sole review to cloud your judgement.

Have a nice reading. <<less

What to expect when reading this novel.

Spoiler

MC is a reincarnator who played this game for 10 years, and is reincarnated in the game. MC wanted to live a peaceful quiet life and work at the mage tower. But that dream got shot down, because of a false accusation. It’s later revealed, that the criminal group targeted the thot (that’s what I’ll call her), but placed the false evidence in his locker, portraying him as a stalker. He later proves his innocence when he helped a girl from the same school. Said girl is the daughter of a guild master (though not as powerful as the guild the thot belongs to) and she enlist the help of a mage from the mage tower, to magically scan the phone for fingerprints. There were 4 fingerprints found, but non of them belonged to MC. Thot still tries to pin the blame on MC, by saying he hired someone (which is absurd). Still, the academy declared MC innocent. MC then asked to be transferred to F class, so he can annihilate his former A classmates in the upcoming class annihilation, in order to punish and humiliate them

Is MC really overpowered?
Spoiler

MC got 2 Professions and are both Legendary level when he sacrificed an arm, legs, teeths and his blood to a goddess well. These are gunman and blacksmith. Gunman at Legendary level allows him to proficiently use firearms. MC also gain bonus damage, when he uses firearms on his opponents. As for blacksmith at Legendary level, this allows MC to create multiple items, since Legendary blacksmiths can have multiple slots, while other blacksmiths can only create 1 item. Also, blacksmiths at Legendary, reduces the crafting times of items. Say, for a regular blacksmith, it takes 1 hour to craft bullets. For Legendary blacksmiths, it only takes 20 minutes, while crafting other items. Also, this allows MC to create bullets with different attributes (incendiary, healing and etc). Still, the weaknesses of these professions still remains (gunmen needs a gun and bullets, while blacksmiths still needs material). Also, in this world, gunmen are looked down, because mages and swordsmen can use mana to block bullets. Many of the c*cky characters mock MC for being gunman. But because MC is a Legendary gunman with bonus damage, he can bypass the mana blocking bullets and inflict tremendous damage. So MC isn’t too OP and still has tension to the story.

I would like to add, MC is ruthless when necessary, but is still kind to those who do him good. This is why this deserves 5 stars <<less

Honestly, when I saw that the cover art was AI, I had a sense of rejection towards it. Nevertheless, I decided to read this novel. (This doesn't sway my opinion of the contents of the novel)

The premise is that the MC was transported into a game he was super familiar with and that he was framed with stalking someone with authority within the school.

Once he left vowing for revenge, apparently some students began thinking he was innocent after temporarily expelling him (innocent before being proven guilty?) and began realizing... more>> they fell in love or are interested in him. Yes, even the teacher.

There are several plotholes even in the first 10 chapters that are unexplained.

Perhaps the novel quality would get better afterwards, I have no idea. However, my recommendation is that this is a novel where you should just turn your brain off and enjoy the process.

This is most likely not for me though. <<less
