-how the others would go for the last shot to kill steal just for points ?

It's interesting to see that there is 3 of him in this world and all of them walks a different path but they are kinda helping eachother in the shadows. I am looking forward what happened to his companions and what the hybrid (half mutant/half human) him will do.

when he got the body enhancement surgery he was never even suspicious of it for a second the only time he even started getting suspicious of it was when later on someone told him there was a problem with it, how convenient right imagine you get poisoned and you need someone to remind you there's poison lol. This isn't even best one yet, the MC literally can't keep his mouth shut hes like one of those people who you tell them a secret and next minute they're spreading the secret to everyone. When the MC became a mutant there were so many times where he just randomly blurted out some key information and leaked his own identity example: when he was fighting the 3 sisters the sisters tried to test him by speaking to him in mutant language, and he ended up responding even though he could just simply feign ignorance.

so basically the game didn't just appear out of nowhere apparently what happens was that the game was created by people from the future who wanted to conduct an experiment to show which was superior lifers or mutants. To do this they opened 2 different time periods so for example they opened up a portal to say 2010 and then they opened up another for say 2020 and then they linked these two together so you could transfer people over from one to another. The reason why they did this was they needed 2 groups to experiment on mutants and lifers/ aka superhumans which both came into being from the a virus. So the way they did it was they spread the a virus in the future time frame and made a mutant rampant time period, next they created life mission the game in the other time period and slowly trained humans and then slowly let them adjust to the virus thus making them lifers. Then they put the two subjects against each other to prove which was superior. Now this is the biggest plot hole because it's also the driving factor for the whole f*cking novel. So to make humans into lifers they are armed with futuristic weapons but to wield these weapons they need superhuman strength this is where the body enhancement surgery comes along. Basically, it's the injection of a diluted a virus. The body enhancement surgery also has 10 stages while mutants and ranked from class 1 to 9 with 1 being the weakest and 9 being the strongest. So early on its basically shown and inferred multiple times that lets say if you're a human who has gone through level 3 enhancement surgery you basically for most of the time can't 1v1 a lvl 3 mutant and this pattern basically repeats itself all the way up. So, what this basically meant was the whole f*cking experiment was basically pointless and lo and behold at the end mutants were declared as superior. The other issues concerning the plot where the f*cking millions of times where the information just randomly changes from chapter to chapter, in 1 chapter the author might write a definite statement but then literally 2 chapters later the author will write something that basically goes back on the previous statement. Example: at some point the MC got this card thing that basically allows you to access a store above your current tier without having the do the advancement mission, it was basically implied that it unlocks it so I thought u just permanently cheated a level on the store but later on the author says otherwise basically the MC used the card to cheat from lvl a to lvl s store but then like 10 ch later its talking about how the MC needs to do a advancement mission because he needs to unlock lvl s store. s*upid how even when the author corrected himself didn't even bother saying it was a 1 time thing.

Another thing would the plot is the s*upidly convenient plot armor that always saves the MC during dire situations.

This is somewhat minor but still, the reward points in this thing is god, the author or translator legit can't count or something like millions, billions, and trillions of points constantly get mixed up. Like one ch It might say the reward is 20billion for the mission next ch the MC completes the mission and they're like he's rewarded with 20trillion, this happens so often at some point I just ignored the number and just took it as he gets points, and spent points.

so this part really should have been in the plot section, but It has a lot to do with the system, so I decided to put it here. So for whatever reason everyone in this game suffers from alzhimers or something cause apparently when the reality version came out everyone was half baked clueless as to what to do. Let me remind everyone "THE MC IS THE NUMBER 1 RANKED PLAYER IN THE WORLD AND HES PLAYED FOR 10 YEARS." Like are you f*cking shitting me, that's like saying you played basketball professionally for 10 years and all of a sudden you don't know how to play. Like the MC has killed a level 9 mutant in the game version but for whatever reason he doesn't know a certain lvl 4 mutant like..... literally if you asked any person playing a mmorpg for 10 years and if that player was say a lvl 100 player chances are they would know all the low level content like I get you can miss some of the higher level content cause they would be harder to do but the low level content would pretty much be in the back of your mind because everyone had to grind through that sh*t and experiment through each method to get to where they were today. Another s*upid thing is no one remembers the f*cking maps or terrains like I get if you don't remember say like a street on the map but you generally wouldn't f*cking forget the county or state of the f*cking area but for whatever reason the MC literally goes into a map with like a full random party and the reasoning behind it is he needs to test the difficulties and check the terrain so he can prep. First of all the difficulty thing is ridiculous like he got to kill a lvl 9 in the game so god knows how many lvl 2 and 3s he killed idk y he needed to check the difficulties, terrain I guess this ones more debatable if its like a very specific spot but still this guy does this like every fkn time he goes up like half a lvl in difficulty.

so idk why some people said that the characters in the novel have depth because none of them have a distinct personality with the slight exception being maybe violet. Even then that's just personality. None of the characters have motives at all like no one has an agenda, they just mindless play through the game. for example like if they wrote something along the lines of oh this guy he's a poor student and he's only playing the game cause he wants to make money and move away from poverty as generic as that is that's still a clear motive none of these characters have that aside from hmm I played this game before well its only real now and if I die I really do die well lets play anyways.

The other thing that was super cringe was the selections for the characters, like the top players have the cringest backgrounds 1 is apparently a British royal family member, one is a solider who is the son of the president of Korea, one is a famous actor, and apparently one was a real life archer I literally laughed so hard when I read this. Like seriously did the author really have to give these weird backgrounds on top of that it makes no sense the top players are generally the most knowledgeable about the game and spends to most time playing the game, reason being how the fk some of these people got to the top whilst also having their designated careers irl beats me. Keep in mind the MC who is the rank 1 player plays the game professionally.

All of this changed dramatically and exponentially when he received a notebook from a demon.

minor spoiler warning - So 36 people who achieved the highest level in the virtual game all go on to become the strongest people in the real life version as well. They've already clarified that their fitness in the game does not match their fitness in real life. So the idea that the same people would rise to the top is beyond ridiculous.

For example, I used to play a game called Settlers online in the beta and I was the top player for awhile. I achieved that because the previous top ranked player quit playing. I also had a lot more time to play games back then and playtime makes a big difference there. Then there's also all the people who woulda been good, but never played. Games just don't work like this novel is making them out to.

Secondly, this is one of those authors that seems to believe that people are either "good or evil" and that good people will do everything in their power to do good and evil people will just always be evil. It's a really hollow and disgusting worldview I never liked in Asian culture.

All of the people who were evil PKers in the game went on to become murderers in the real life version. This is just insulting really. PKers kill other players because they like PVP or because they like to annoy people. That does not translate to murderer... To just throw them all together like that is disgusting.

Thirdly, the author seems to have PTSD confused with Schizophrenia. PTSD means you relive traumatic events or you become really negative or you have trouble sleeping. It's rather benign from an outsiders perspective and it's more a problem for the person suffering it. I'm honestly shocked at how bad this author's knowledge is on the matter. PTSD is closer to depression than "going insane" like this author seems to think it is.

Now let's get to the translation. The whole thing is translated into somewhat broken english that is "kinda" readable. You can ignore it pretty well, but it gets REALLY annoying when something important is being explained. You'll interpret the sentence one way, then it'll be completely contradicted a couple of sentences later and then it goes back and forth. Three pages later, the context makes it clear what happened, but it's a terrible mess of a translation.

For the longest time you'll hear the protagonist talk about how he needs "battle shoots", but it isn't for a LONG ass time until you realize that this is a horrible translation. He means to say "battle suits".

I honestly don't know if it'll ever get retranslated either. Korea is becoming harder to find translators for since they're actively stopping translation whenever someone tries asking for permission. If you are a korean translator, DON'T ASK... They all say no. Korean translators and legal translations are mutually exclusive. Don't bother.

The further into the story I get the more pissed off I am with the translation. There are times I'm pretty sure the translator skipped a chapter and there are times when he jumps from saying "Item A cost 50 million points" to "I bought Item A for 50 billion points". Trying to follow the details is just not possible with this bad of a translator. Like the sentences are readable, but the guy just doesn't care. It's like a speed translation.

Finally, there's an issue with the story. They have this annoying repetitive element that doesn't make sense. So the protagonist is like the best ranker in the original game and he keeps getting lucky breaks in the real life version that lets him skip ahead and attempt missions with gear and abilities a rank higher than other people. However, he never keeps this advantage. The other players always catch up quickly then he gets a new shortcut to a higher store. He's done this three times as of my current chapter. I thought it was cool once, twice I didn't notice, three times I'm annoyed.

How is the protagonist the best when he gets three lucky breaks but loses his advantage every time. Not to mention, this basically means he's had a three point handicap and still is just breaking even.

Super spoiler here

So I'm pretty far in the novel now and if what's been revealed as the "motivation for Life Mission" is true, this is the dumbest plot ever. So, a super advanced alternate Earth that's far in the future asked the question "who would win, humans armed with our technology or super powerful mutants." This question bothers them so much that they decide to create an apocalyptic virus that obliterates an entire world full of BILLIONS of people turning them into canibalistic mutants. Then they take a second world and arm them and tell them to kill the mutants for points. That's the plot, they killed billions of people just so they can play "humans vs mutants" in real life.

Although he does advance faster due to the fact that he was ranked number 1 on the virtual game. It allowed him to use his experience to level up faster.

One monster was able to figure out how to use one of the items from a Lifer. And he used that knowledge to capture some of them.

The MC ends up being restricted for 5 years so he can't even enter the game. During those moments, I was kind of bored since it was talking about other people.
