I simply wanted to take a moment to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you've done with All My Alter Egos Are Tycoons. I was hooked from the first chapter, and its uniqueness and depth kept me spellbound. During a period where so many novels seem to be duplicates of each other, your book is just so unique, it's unlike anything else.

The idea itself is very original, combining creativity, strategy, and character building in a manner that engages readers. It's not often that you read... more>> a tale that is so new and expertly done, and you've done something truly remarkable.

I also wish to express my gratitude to the illustrator. The drawings bring your world wonderfully to life, complementing perfectly the richness of your storytelling. The relationship between writing and drawing is first class, making this an enchanting read for readers.

Thank you for investing so much heart and soul into this book. It's quite literally one of my favorite reads, and I truly hope to be able to see it go on for many years to come with a great and satisfying ending. Looking forward to every new Chapters from you guys <<less

Honestly, I'm disappointed. This just ain't it.

This novel uses every arc to show what a good guy the MC is. It's honestly annoying. The first time wasn't very strong or overt. But the second and the third, my god were they cliche.

2nd time was when he was shopping and when he went outside, he happened to encounter villains. And he had to interfere, right after commenting that he wouldn't do so. So why does he do so? This ties in into another cliche plot. He lost his parents and got... more>> trauma from "villains".

3rd time was when he encountered a girl in debt when entering the city. Of course he pays for her. Then, after a few days, she goes missing, MC randomly encounters her, she, of course, has a sick family member and the MC, of course, follow his predetermined cliche path. F*ck you fantasy middle ages orphans, you'd all be thieves, dead, or dead thieves.

So the MC is cliche, his background is cliche, the story is cliche, the villains/heroes modern society setting is cliche (If I wanted heroes villains crap, I'd be watching mha, but clearly, most people don't watch that shit, so why are you putting it here). Honestly, the modern setting should have been either more interesting or mostly ignored. <<less

This is the story of a guy who has the ability of having multiple bodies and it is incredibly well done. If you are looking for a power fantasy where the protagonist is both the hero and the villain then this should be for you!

It's well done, just really soft and appetizing enough to let you binge reading or slow swiping. Author has executed well in my opinion the character growth - fast, but not a spike of tr*sh food and made subtle hints to lessen the Deus Ex Machina feeling of the plot intervention; pacing does go pretty quick. A nice read for Action novel seekers and pleasant journey for Comedy lookers.

This is a really well done novel.

Usually when stories like this use multiple povs, they get really confusing, or are just poorly thought out, but this one does it really well, every single switch is pretty seamless, and it doesn't feel out of place even ... more>>
Spoiler

even when multiple avatars are in the same place

[collapse]
. Each arc transfers to the next smoothly, there are, however, small parts of relaxation in between so it's not too fast-paced.

One of the previous reviews stated that the MC is cliche and bland- I actually agree. The entire cast of characters is fleshed out, side-characters have their own nuances, and all the MC's avatars behave in a way that makes them distinct from one another; but the MC himself is extraordinarily bland- It's somewhat unavoidable because the novel revolves around his adventures through his avatars, but
Spoiler

even now in the later chapters, he's just at home, "Oh I slurped my drink", "Oh my food is here", then, done, switches back to the avatars. Idk, if you were delusional enough you could argue this is a good point: because in the beginning, the setting is that he wants to have these adventures as if he's viewing them from a home theater, and it really feels like that's happening. Minimal MC time, mostly MC's avatars.

[collapse]
. Overall well-paced enough for a binge. It's a great novel, that's a fact, really though, It will depend on how well they translate it to see how well everyone else enjoys it. <<less

I highly disagree with the people who said that the MC's personality is bland. Rather, the MC's personality is more like a blank canvas. This is because all the avatars/alter egos of the MC is the personification/enhancement/mutation of his original personality. It's not that the MC has no personality, it's that his personality is expressed through the different alter egos. You don't treat his alter egos as separate characters, you treat them as part of himself. That way, you can actually see that the MC's personality is highly multi-colored. Heck,... more>> that's probably the backbone of this novel, to witness how his alter egos evolve and interact with others. Reading this novel is like reading multiple novels of different MCs, but they were actually one MC. You cannot treat the main body of the MC as only the MC. <<less

As Drakonus said before me I would strongly argue against the idea that the MC has a bland personality as while the main body is awake all of the avatars are him. Those are his personality when certain stimuli is applied. Despite the main body viewing the other worlds (and even his own) from a godlike perspective both he and his avatars have meaningful connections with other characters.

A major upside of this novel is the magic systems explored and sheer variance of the avatars in what they can do. Rather... more>> than just having one person who can just learn everything (even when that doesn't make sense) we have multiple "people" growing in a fantasy world at once which can allow this novel to have your favorite route or cliche or trope.

Necromantic Lich? Check. Saintly Hero? Check. Vampire? Check. Berserker? Check. Elf? Check. Dwarf? Check. Dragon? Check. Martial Artist? Check. Demon Lord? Check. Growth Through Eating? Check. Mind Mage? Check. Summoner? Check.

This novel offers a truly wide variety of tropes for its readers to latch onto.

Plotwise this is also very solid. Events make sense and follow one after another with believable consequence for the MCs actions. <<less

In my opinion, the story is amazing. I can say that there might be better writing styles and there are some aspects that the author didn't really "pull through" but please it's a chapter daily novel (not right now since it's kind of on hiatus) what do you expect? For something like that it's actually of amazing quality. I have trouble reading novels to the end, usually dropping in the middle and going back after a few months. In case of this I've been binge reading aggressively and have almost... more>> reached the end of available chapters (611). The story is interesting and keeps the reader invested. There were moments where it felt a bit bland, repetitive or cliché but the author managed to throw in an interesting snack, keeping me devoted to plowing through the moment and continuing the read.

I'm at the point where the final fight is approaching.
Spoiler

All 13 (14 if you count the dead one) of MC's avatars have a distinct and unique personality and it's fun to see how they interact and mesh with eachother. This can be seen especially well in the fight with the Executives. The author uses different avatars for each fight. Doctor got taken down fast but I think that works as a plus. His crazy and unnecessarily detailed rumblings as the Dragon Lair's manager are amusing. The Oracle got wreaked by Heinz, Hoon&Ramyu trio and turned into a staff by Hans & Humphrey. Though the duo (trio if you count Ramyu outside supporting the separated dimension) who took down the Empress was surprising. I didn't expect the Harley-Hela cooperation. Skipping the fact that for last boss phase of the fight Harley got half his body blasted away (but it's fine, it's Harley after all) so in fact the one struggling was Hela. Though honestly it's not the first time they worked together (Chakra dimension wreckage) but the first they fought as a duo so yeah. Hela is a great character actually. She shows the hidden feminity of the MC (which he was extremely disturbed by in the Chakra dimension looking through Harley's eyes lol) and I love how he catches himself involuntarily acting all feminine and becoming embarrassed by it. Never really fully accepting it haha. To all the guys giving low star ratings, you've judged too fast. The MC is constantly growing and discovering himself. All his relationships and reason for existence are explored throughout the series. Even though he met so many people, he felt like those relationships were superficial. That they don't know the "real" him. That's why he valued his best friend and the guy's grandma so much. But at some point he realised that each and every avatar is "him" so all the relationships he made were made by "him" regardless of "his form". Funny that he understood this thanks to the madness guy he defeated as Harley and later traveled with as Han Seung-Hoon who simply told the MC that he should be a man and accept them (the two women) instead of being a coward. Thanks to that surprisingly accurate but misunderstood advice he decided to deepen his relationships with all the people he met not as himself but as an avatar. This enriches his emotional state greatly!

[collapse]
The pace of the novel is fast but the emotional growth and acceptance of self is seriously slow. The MC, as the others said, is a blank canvas. As the original he possesses all the qualities of his avatars but at the same time he is unlike any of them. But considering that his avatars are himself then he too is like them. It's a hard to explain subject but as you read the novel it kind of makes sense... <<less

The story is interesting, some of the magic and how certain principles works took a different approach from the norm.

The MC, projecting all his personality in his avatar, doesn't shirk his involvement with what his Avatars has done or achieved. Sure, he's apathetic, but the author clearly showed that each Avatar have their own views about their action and that the MC assume some responsibility.

Although after reading further down the line, plot holes started to appear one after another and unreasonable plot designs also crept up.

... more>>
Spoiler

An organization aiming for basically world domination, with a leader that's basically a quasi-god, can't catch someone far below transcendence and has no sense of danger. He allowed his enemies to just run rampant, albeit understandable with "restriction from Akasha" being the resign, an absurd plot design.

Then they set it up so only humans/sub-humans can return to Earth. But then the Author retconned that by introducing demons who, basically lost their humanity and was an entirely different species as their god doesn't drawn design from human design/factor but the devil/demon factor. Maybe being related to the MC is a part of that but Demons themselves pollute their surroundings so the restriction made sense, but maybe the biggest reason it was able to appear on Earth is because it was called via a Unique skill and its Origin was Earth itself. Then they furthermore introduced a Mimic, albeit must have been the cause of the Unique Skill but they are not human anymore but a monster.

[collapse]

Anyway, its still good enough to read but the complexity of things starts to mess up the plot design and is starting to crumble as the story progress so be warned as you'll find more and more unreasonable designs to appear. <<less

An interesting take on the isekai/urban fantasy genre, marred by hectic pacing and a baffling abundance of plot-holes.

Premise:

In a contemporary world, people are granted abilities and isekaid away into various fantasy worlds, seemingly at random. They often end up abusing their powers once they return, and one such incident has the MC lose his family and the use of his legs. He becomes a shut-in, but then one day he's picked by the isekai-lottery and he's granted the power to create avatars that he can then inhabit and command remotely.... more>> He sends one such avatar over to the fantasy world instead of going in person while his real body stays at home, which causes the system to get confused and it grants him the ability to freely send his avatars back and forth between worlds. Doing so he starts creating chaos with his many avatars, first accidentally and then on purpose, by orchestrating a theatrical hero vs. demon lord scenario, all the while also tracking down a villainous returner organization in the contemporary world.

Setting:

We have effective two settings: modern day urban fantasy Korea, where the returners are causing havoc and the MC unravels a grand conspiracy led by an international secret society, and a typical high-fantasy world with all the monsters and fantasy races where the MC accidentally hijacks the world-ending threat and sets up his avatars in various positions of power among the humans and other fantasy races. Both sides are decently fleshed out, but nothing to write home about.

Characters:

The story is mostly told through he perspective of the MC, though occasionally flavored by the slight individual differences of the various avatars. The side-cast is fairly flat, with them being either mustache-twirling villains or one-note side-characters fulfilling specific narrative roles and then fading into the background, with maybe a few later reappearances. Also, while there's little to no romance early on, each of the avatars seem to be set up with their own potential love-interest, which is... an interesting way to do a harem, I suppose.

As for the MC himself, he starts out as an easily scared, traumatized nobody, but once he realizes that his avatars can be used as game characters, he gets exponentially bolder, even getting some mad scientist vibes from time to time in his attempts to find out the limits of his abilities and to develop his avatars.

Said avatars are all the protagonist, but they are also given their own specializations and personality quirks. The lich is a chuuni Batman, the holy knight is a training-maniac people-pleaser, the barbarian is a hot-blooded battle-junkie, and so on. The way these traits end up trickling into the narrative voice is probably the most interesting thing the writer does with this series.

Plot (holes) :

Now, the plot can be divided into two major parts: on one side, the MC is inserting his avatars into positions of power, to the point he's purposefully setting up a hero vs. demon king scenario, both sides played by his avatars, because it's the quickest way to earn karma (the currency used to level up his abilities). For this, he creates avatars with specific traits and purposes, such as the heroic one to infiltrate the paladin order hunting his arch-lich avatar, or the merchant one to generate wealth for himself and his avatars. This is the A-plot.

The other side of the plot is about him discovering a conspiracy by an international secret society of returners trying to take over the world. He ends up becoming a vigilante and hunts them down through his avatars. This is the B-plot.

As you can imagine juggling two main plots, on top of all the side-plots of the individual avatars, is quite tricky, and the author dealt with this by sacrificing granularity and pacing. Everything proceeds at a break-neck speed. An avatar may be introduced in a side-note as a newly created newbie merchant, only to return as a super-wealthy magnate a few chapters later. Months can pass between paragraphs, avatars can gain new abilities out of the blue, and world-building and suspense often falls to the wayside.

This pacing, unfortunately, also leads to quite a few plot-holes rearing their ugly heads. Just to name the most egregious ones:

Spoiler

Very early on, it's established that people are given abilities and a 24 hour grace period before being isekaid, and that people cause mass destruction during this time, either using their abilities to get resources/equipment before transferring, or just making havok because they think there won't be any consequences, with only a tiny fraction of them returning eventually when they collect enough karma to do so.

Yet later on the same attacks are re-framed as the fault of a secret society, and we see returners with weak abilities (such as a serial killer whose only abilities were related to stealth) that shouldn't have allowed them to gather enough points to return running amok, and there are also so many of them that the MC's vigilante justice rounds up literal hundreds, despite how rare they are supposed to be.

There are also much more straightforward breaks in logic as well, such as it being established that time in the fantasy world passes ten times faster than in the real world, yet when the MC controls his avatars, it's in the same time-frame as his real body.

Or, maybe even more egregiously, it is made extremely explicit that the MC's avatars are completely, 100% immune to all forms of possession and mind control, yet at one point a random vampire just casually mind-controls one of his clones, and then it turns out that he not only didn't have a mind-control ability, but he was from a different fantasy world, so even seniority was out of the question. All so that the plot could be nudged in a certain direction.

And these are just the big ones that come to mind, with many, many smaller discrepancies left unsaid.

[collapse]

Overall:

This is still a pretty damn good, fast-paced action-adventure series, but if my long spoiler section wasn't indicative enough, it has some flaws that an editor (or even just a beta-reader) could've fixed. I would still recommend it as a simple popcorn-entertainment kind of deal, and it has enough fun twists on old tropes to hold one's interest. In other words, definitely worth a read, just be ready for some road-bumps on the way. <<less

I also have to agree with the person that voted two stars, this story feel very cliche. Additionally the MC's personality felt extremely bland.

Author tried to create this background about his past but it was barely talked upon. Also in my opinion the MC is someone undeserving of his powers. There's not reason behind it and it's basically just that he won the lottery.

There's so much potential with MC can create multiple avatar of himself who each have a story line but each Avatar became more and more forgettable.

Even when... more>> the author tried to give the Avatar separate personality, they still felt the same.

Also one thing that I dislike about this was the MC seemed to just treat everyone around him as tools. <<less

tbh I really love the concept, multiple bodies with one consciousness is one of my fav thing, added with MC playing both sides for his own gain.

But, reason I subtract a star is bc author is trying to cover so much subplot in such a short time. It feels like watching a speedrun, instead of taking their time developing the characters and the world around him, its all just whoosh, whoosh, now MC is high threat around continent, blablahblah.

Also, emphasis on too much subplot. If they just stick on the... more>> isekai part this might not be much of problem. Instead they also adding

MC wreacking havoc on real world, playing as batman punishing bad people and hunting terrorist organization who killed his family

[collapse]
Once again if author taking his time this wont be that much of problem. Maybe when the isekai part is getting quite boring we can get this plot, that'll be interesting to spice things up, but no, its all in middle of the still so much interesting part of isekai plot, so my reaction honestly is just 'who the f*ck cares, get back to isekai plot'

if it werent for rushed storyline this can be solid 5 tbh <<less
