It's not for everyone. The premise is MC reincarnates/transmigrate in another world and rose as an emperor becoming known as the strongest, only to discover after receiving a quest out of nowhere, that the world was a game he played. So, to figure out why he got into the current world, he decided to follow the quest, but he isn't popular (?) so when he asked for the quest requirements from a certain family he has a bad history with, he was rejected. Btw all that time barely anyone knew... more>> his face because he always wore a helmet, so he decides to create a new persona by simply removing the helmet and using an alias.

You see how dumb this all sounds. A freaking emperor, this narrative would have been even barely be acceptable if he was a hero.

The whole premise is just forcefully slapped on willy-nilly, so author could have a gimmick. Beware, should you choose to read this, be ready to ignore the intro and easily gloss over the small details, and then turn your brain to mush. <<less

As always I'm a sucker for overpowered protagonists and this is definitely looking good. There are different reasons to liking overpowered protagonist's and in this story it's the sort of feeling you get when you watch someone you hate take the blame for your mistake!

The plot is that the overpowered and ruthless emperor (the protagonist) finds out that he's actually in a pokemon game (It's called Hel here) and thus he decides to get his lazy bu*t off his seat. As it turns out he's always had a helmet... more>> on and seeing as his reputation is very bad he decides to finally take it off. With a fresh identity he decides to go complete his hel quest.

It's quite comical really when you get down to it. You have the usual satisfaction of an overpowered protagonists who secretly stands on top of everything but at the same time it's funny to realize that the world the protagonist inhabits is quite absurd. The problem he deals with and the characters he meets are really enjoyable especially because he finds out that so many of the problems stem from his terrible reputation.

It's one of those stories where the main character is quite aloof. Being overpowered means he doesn't have to take anything seriously. Unlike other stories though that doesn't mean the protagonist takes a back seat or lets things unfold. He interacts with other characters all the while having question marks above his head as he listens to his infamous reputation which in his mind is far overblown.

It's still quite early to have a solid opinion about this story since well there's not much out there but I'm definitely looking forward to more of it! <<less

The story promise you an epic fantasy adventure. The world-building is intriguing (giving you clues about the past in bits) ... more>>

Spoiler

about the gods and demons and spirits and how the original 70 royal families came to be.

[collapse]

The story follows Emperor Bael, who after being bored, decides to adapt a his old identity as Daniel of Dantalian family and goes on a new journey. Now he come across stuff that he never would have by sitting on the Imperial Throne - pain of his people, what others think of him etc etc,

The supporting cast is also good.

And the translation is top notch.

I highly recommend it. <<less

Sounds like a good power fantasy, adventure novel with a romantic subplot, but the author doesn't really take the characters seriously even if the world building and the romance aspect are actually interesting. It looks like he tried to incorporate more comedic elements to make the plot more lighthearted but they fall flat because none of the characters feel real. They're all plot devices for the protagonist to be funny
