Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed The World

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

The world’s largest VRMMO, Conviction, was almost like a second world for humanity. It had integrated itself into the real world’s economy, with both corporations and individuals seeking their fortunes through the game.

In this game, Nie Yan prided himself on his Level 180 Thief. He could barely be considered among the top experts in the game. Though, that was the only thing he could take pride in. He was penniless and unable to advance in life; a situation he was forced into by the enemy of his father. If it weren’t for the little money he made by selling off items in Conviction, he would’ve barely been able to eat. In the end, he chose to settle his matters once and for all. He assassinated his father’s enemy. He lay dying shortly after being shot in the pursuit.

However, that wasn’t the end of his story. Instead, he awoke moments later to find that he had reincarnated into his past self. Armed with his experience and knowledge of future events, he sets out to live his life anew.

This story is basically your fantasy of 'accidentally' stumbling into a RPG game. I'm not really bumped by the fact MC is allowed to exploit everything without getting detector by the systems. So if you can look past that issue, then this story will truly be enjoyable. Just treat it as the system doesn't intervene with whatever players are doing, or doesn't care about their progress; which makes it seem like MC is in a real world setting instead of a game but oh well, you get what I'm saying.

I have been really enjoying this. Not usually a fan of VRMMO novels, but this one has done it very well. It includes enough about the outside world to make it actually important to the novel rather than like most others use RL as an escape from grinding and for romance purposes. The slow translation speed is prop the only really annoying part of this story.

I was reading other reviews after I consolidated my opinion.

Yes I noticed that when the author was talking about the skill bar I was thinking "umm what? Is there a hotkey for that?" The VR is a bit sketchy and it can be cliche' but grammar is good but obviously not great. I do like the story and where it is going it reminds me of shura's wrath a bit. I believe the story has potential but I think the MC needs to be dragged down a bit more but... more>> the game is still in the early stages and the late stage will probably be vastly different than the MC's predictions. <<less

Honestly, it's quite good. This is actually my first VRMMO novel. Character are likeable to say the least and the story is quite good but not perfect. But, I would like to mention future readers that the last several chapters is a waste of time. Why? Because I think it ruins the good ending. <--- This is my opinion. The author should have stop.. ... more>>
Spoiler

.... when the MC recovers from a shot and lives together with his beloved girlfriend. BUT, the story continues by saying that MC goes back in the game after recovery, however, his friends and guild are now way stronger than him. It's been several years since then. But, I think the continuation of this is about MC going back to being strong again and prove to those people in the game that he's back. But, I didn't continue after that and just end it there.

[collapse]
So, it's up to you if you want to go past that certain chapter but just keep my advice in case. <<less

Don't be fooled by the hate.

This is a gem, for me.

The hero is only focused on a single girl, which I super, extra like!

Sure he is omnipotent, but he's kinda not bright, sometimes ... more>>
Spoiler

especially when the enemy offered a sum of money to kill his, let say 1gold, he, the supposedly smart guy, counter attack with the same announcements, but with 2gold!its fine if he's already rich n stuff, but nah, he's scrambling for funds, with all those luck.

Also, one of his luck plot, the appearance changing necklace, is just used ONE time by him, when he can just use that for many other time and skip a bunch of problems!

[collapse]

But, apart from this, this is a very nice read. I personally like the romance in this. Although its not much, but its concentrated everytime it happens. <<less

not gonna lie, this is less of a review and more of a rant. but I made NU account just to rant. that should tell you a bit about this novel. anyway, here goes.

i was searching for a new novel to read. as i've read TDG before and it's actually quite good, I tried this as the review have plenty of 5 star. but now I guess they're bots.

usually, if I read a novel then I don't like it, i'll drop it after 20-30 chapter max. the only reason I... more>> bothered reading this hot piece of cr*p is because it's made by mad snail. and I have to say you can just see that Mad Snail don't have any love for this work. I feel like he's just going with the flow and saying whatever he wants as there's soooo many conflicting world building. here's some of hot mess you can expect :

- it's said that MC and his gang of bros is "youth that come from nothing" and yet it's already been established that 1 of them is a rich kid. and in the next chapter it's revealed that another one is also from a powerful family.

-and the start of the novel, it's said that it's quite near impossible to farm mobs multiple level above you. MC did it anyway by exploiting loopholes. but the thing is, by lv 200+, most people will farm mobs above their level.

-somehow MC went from frail skinny kid to fit martial arts master IRL even though all he's doing is drinking supplement and playing games. sure you can say that he got experience from regressing. but what about the muscle building? if author is implying that supplement is what make him swole, it's strange that his IRL enemy didn't use that too.

- MC is apparently 'all alone' in his previous life. after regressing, he have a loyal bro left right and center.

-the VR is not clear if it is full dive (your experience in life can help you i.e. if you're good at fighting IRL, you're good at fighting in game) or not. as in the earlier chapter, author established some systemic skill usage. but later on sh*t just go wild. not in a good way.

-MC is apparently rich because in-game gold is expensive. yet there's no info about how much 1 gold is in real life money.

-the math... actually, not even the math. just the statistics. what's worth 10 gold this chapter can worth 1000 gold the next chapter. not because of inflation or anything like that. the author simply.... forget. the numerical values pertaining to accounting, economics and army just change constantly. again, not because of the story. but because author simply forgets.

-author constantly forgot the power/curse he has given MC. for example early on MC got a curse/skill that made his luck go either really great or really shitty every 3 second. author did not specify if this is an active or passive skill. but from the story I'm guessing passive. but after his first attempt at refining his gear (which highlighted this exact skill as refining has low probability), the skill/curse never made another appearance. and neither does the refining even after he changed his gear multiple times already.

i have no idea why it's like this. maybe because it's been eyars since I read TDG and my youthful brain just can't catch the s*upidity? idk. anyway, safe yourself the time and curb your desire to read this.

but if you still want to read this, well.... I wish you the best of luck and turn off your brain. <<less

The main draw of this story for me is the cycle the author has. Some people would call it repetitive but I liked the whole get stronger with new plot armor to beat random new enemy loop. Kind of weird that the mmo is only online half the day, but it allows the rl story to progress. I didnt find the rl portions too annoying, nor the love interest annoying which I usually do. Overall a good read if you like the reincarnator Cn style. Its based on western culture... more>> which is a plus for me, and the nationalism isnt overbearing like in some novels (Overgeared) <<less

A good story. Kind of like LMS, except not quite as good and takes itself much more seriously. I recommend it to those who like these types of story. The translation is of pretty good quality.

Apart from Ml's personality, loved a lot of aspects of the story.

A man travels back to past upon his death, why or how is not clear throughout the story.

What the story is good in;

... more>> 1. Lots of likable and solid characters.

2. Heavily based on game world that sometimes I had to skip over the game world to read about real world events. If you are a fan of rpeg world then it is best for you. I liked how the game world events were told and how story unfolded. It kept me reading till the end.

3. Engaging events in real timeline and game world.

4. Proper ending of the villain.

The don'ts you have to figure out yourself as my do's might be your don'ts.

Spoiler

I dislike the ML and mc's personalities.

ML is so so disrespectful towards MC and MC is such a, I don't know how to say, she just lets him be. It can be said that ML is overtly pervy and MC is covertly pervy. Perfect for each other 😂😂.

Notice how the only five star reviews are from people who only read part of the story?

Yeah. Because it just gets worse. If it starts out as somewhat bearable tr*sh, it degenerates into tr*shy tr*sh.

Only reason I remember this is because of how bad it is.

I liked this novel a lot more than reincarnation of the strongest sword god (mainly because that one rushed through the last few hundred chapters) which is why it's getting 4 stars instead of the other one which was quiet average with 3 stars.

Pro:

Love story isn't bad compared to other novels I have read. But nothing amazing either. S*x scenes are kinda meh could have just not done them at all.

... more>> For me personally it doesn't get repetitive which has been the case in other novels with 1k chapters.

Fight scenes are decent.

We spent some time with other characters even if their personalities aren't anything amazing.

Its quiet interesting how MC really capitalizes on all the asppects of the thief class.

Con:

Op walks around with drops on death items so you know he isn't in any danger at that moment.

Reason for reincarnation is never explained.

Ops physique improves by playing the game but it doesnt seem to happen for anyone else?

Spoiler

they hint that the shadow dancer stuff works irl and was developed by the army. But how are the mage skills supposed to work irl it's never explained. And what exactly the goal of developing the game is also wasn't explained

[collapse]

Im not sure how exactly companies make money in the game. It is said that they open virtual shops where you can buy irl stuff but I don't see how that gives you back the billions of investment when it's basically online shopping in a game. <<less

This novel is my favorite out of all mad snail's novels.

The MMORPG in this novel is nothing new compared to others, but I liked how the MC lead his guildmates and the war is so exciting.

Actually, I got hooked more by their real-life story rather than the game.

It's solid 5 stars for the first half of the story, for the last quarter I just skipped most of the game part cause there are so many contradictions that kinda annoy me and just focus on the real-life part.

The story is definitely is not a masterpiece or something, but I like it. Yeah, it has many loopholes, no nutrition, but it keeps me binge reading it and that's already enough.

It basically tells the story of Nie Yam who suffered a lot in the past life and got his 2nd chance from rebirth and re-do his life through the VR game of Conviction. He got the loyal brotherhood, got his woman and love of his life, save & help his parent, revenge the enemy, creating legends and become winner... more>> of life.

Pro

  • The MC is cautious, loyal (to his bro & woman), generous and charismatic.
  • The pace is good, and keeps me wanted to read it all the time
  • Happy ending
Con

  • yeah many loopholes in the story (why he suddenly become strong after rebirth in the lack of body nutrition, the gold calculation in the game, the lack of game developer initiatives, some quest forgotten, why he does not revive Jebiah, unreasonable timeline, and so on), but I like the MC always win in the end (hehe, silly me)

This is a MarySue Wish Fulfillment novel and it has a paywall at chapter 100

I enjoyed the beginning of the novel, near the end of the free chapters I started losing interest

Spoiler

If the MC died in game he would lose a cheat treasure, so there was no tension during the fight scenes, so it got boring

First of all, I must make it clear how much I hate Mad Snail, but I still read the crap he writes. I decided to give this novel a try in spite of the fact that the MC was a f*cking cattle, because that wasn't so bad, the worst thing was the descriptions, especially about the mc's lover, huge paragraphs talking about how perfect she was, and that irritated me f*ck, because she looked more like a doll than a human with defects. Now let's talk about the real reason... more>> why I dropped it, I wish I had finished reading, only 100 chapters left, but obviously the author managed to screw it up. The mc's personality was relatively acceptable, he weighed the risks and consequences, hardly made s*upid decisions and compared to other mc's he was not so arrogant, but in the final battle this f*cker f*cked up all the f*cking development. I can't help being angry about it. In fact, I skipped several chapters, I didn't care enough for the couple, much less for the almost s*x scenes. <<less

Was a lil sad when this ended. The worldbuilding is wonderfully immense and only sloppy a few times. With the benefit of foresight, ML's journey is smoother than most but still with enough exciting hardships for him to overcome. Also factors in the butterfly effect and when things develop beyond his known experience. I kind of wanna know about the life of his second-in-command whose management savvy make it possible for ML to go gallivanting around.

A Chinese "2nd Chance" story that kicked off in a way that could have easily led down any avenue. Be it a revenge thriller or a romance drama. But I guess if it wasn't a VRMMO, with good money making, I probably wouldn't have read it. Especially since this author can barely write charming character interactions. But at least the story doesn't take too long to ramp up to some of the more exciting BAM fights, raids and numerous Guild Wars with pretty overbearing full loot PvP.

However a lot of... more>> these moments consist of Nie Yan using some "future knowledge" exploit, which the game devs don't seem to care about, or the spectators mindlessly singing his praises. Well even with how unbalanced the game gets once it begins to focus heavily on Factions, Mounts & Master Classes, overall I still enjoyed the experience. <<less

Not sure how this is rated so highly?

It's basically a rip off after RSSG, 50% of plots and scenes are copied from there.

The whole story reads as if it's written by a 12yo, which is quite problematic as the MC is supposed to be close to 30.

... more>> The worldbuilding is average at best. I am pretty sure that the author is horrible at math since he puls out random numbers that make no sense out of his arse constantly.

Logic is definitely using [Stealth] in this novel, so don't expect many things to make sense.

I only gave it 2* because the quality of the translation is good. <<less
