There's currently 26 chapters in and the translations are pretty good so far...

In the following discussion, we delve into the narrative of a story that may appear cliché at first glance. Our protagonist finds himself unexpectedly transported into a video game world, a premise familiar to many. However, there's a twist – he's been thrust into this virtual realm two and a half years prior to the events that unfold in the story. Even more intriguing is the role he now occupies: that of the ultimate adversary, the last boss... more>> in a trilogy of games.

The narrative of this story has shown promise thus far, and it's bolstered by an abundance of artwork. The icing on the cake is the inclusion of illustrations for all the main characters. As the story unfolds, it seems to prioritize character interactions over action sequences. This shift in focus is pivotal as our protagonist, the MC, strives relentlessly to win over his circus crew. This endeavor is necessitated by the dark legacy of his former self, a veritable psychopath whose reign of terror has left his crew members deeply scarred and fearful.

The narrative doesn't shy away from exploring the intricate backstories of these characters. It takes us on a journey through the moments when his former self first crossed paths with each of them, an encounter that simultaneously ignited hope and despair. Moreover, the MC's loss of most of his powers has rendered him an ordinary individual, albeit one with the capacity to perform peculiar feats, adding an extra layer of complexity to the story's outset.

In terms of pacing, the narrative maintains a brisk tempo, neither too slow nor excessively hasty. What truly shines are the character interactions, which are skillfully crafted to engage readers. All in all, this story demonstrates considerable promise and has garnered a notable following on Novelpia, making it well worth considering for your reading list.

PS. I should also mention that this story deserves the 'Misunderstanding' tag, and that's due to one of the MC's unique abilities, which also doubles as a curse. This ability keeps him in a perpetual state of calm and composure, but it comes at a cost – he's perpetually adorned with an unsettling, eerie smile. This unintentional expression frequently leads to a multitude of misunderstandings among those he encounters. <<less

I honestly like the story, how we have a SI with legitimate hurdles to cross and developing side characters who aren't cut outs. For now I'll have to wait for more chaps to be translated before going more in depth. Just know its a unique spin on the isekai genre and a very rare korean fic that isn't about necromancers, s*upid towers or the generic plot where everyone devolves in bubbling idiots. So far its doing a great job sticking out amongst the tr*sh that plagues the KN fandom.

MC was transmigrated into the big bad of a game series and is being forced to play nice with other people to avoid a premature death. So far so good.

The catch here is that he transmigrated into the big bad after the latter had established his reign of terror, which means that most of the people he is supposed to play nice with are already traumatized af by his actions, which involve, among other things: turning their hometown into a reenactment of 80's body horror films, psychological manipulation, bursting knights... more>> like baloons, etc.

The second catch is that the MC is already a broken and jaded person by the time of his transmigration with exactly zero capability or willingness to cultivate relationships without guidance from the game system. So a social loner being forced to interact with trauma victims; fun! <<less

I don't really write reviews but I made a deal with the devi- I mean, translator, and they deserve the effort !!

Tl;dr: REALLY GOOD. I can't wait to read it everyday.

One of the things I liked the most is the characters, they are pretty distinguised from each other, especially when it comes to the members of the circus. I think the author did a really great job when making them. Their future development is also very promising.

and, of course, the MC himself is very interesting! I think that's really important... more>> too. He has some characteristics imposed on him, like being perpetually smiling, by the game-character he took over which adds a cool gimmik. His biomancer powers are cool to see, even if they are not as powerful as they could be at first. Also the MC's past before transmigration actually matters. He occasionally mentions memories from that time and his motivations to grow stronger and come back.

At this point in time, the game-Wonderstein already did very bad villain things, so he can't entirely turn over a new leaf even if he only acts good from now, HOWEVER- don't get me wrong, the current-Wonderstein is mostly a good person, it's just that his past might come to get him at any moment. Plus there are a lot of misunderstandings about him being super good or super bad that varies from character to character. Misunderstanding lovers, this is a feast to us.

Now to the "bad thing"... my only problem is that the girls seem to have... love for him? They constantly blush and question their feelings in a weird kind of way. Yet Wonderstein hasn't show any interest in romance (at least for now). Honestly, I think the way the author handled Varsong's love for him is very refreshing so there are high hopes. It still makes me afraid, as I think some novels traumatized me, a simple human who loves family-bounds instead of romance.

But that's it! Overall, this novel has too many things I enjoy. I recommend it to anyone who has their interest peaked.

English is my second language and I'm too lazy to spell check. <<less

For a web novel it's top shelf stuff. Unique setting, enjoyable characters, and a MC who's not only mysterious due to his in game past but also his "real life" past which comes into play when he interacts with the circus members. My main criticism is some of the plot points are a bit too convenient/contrived but it's not like other web novels where you can predict how everything's going to turn out. Also, the setting is a bit of a weird modern/fantasy mix, and to be honest I hardly... more>> pay attention to the "history", except for anything concerning the MC and anything related to circuses. Imo the narration would be so much better if it just focused on that.

I'd say it's a 4, but due to the uniqueness I'll give it a 5. <<less
