System Warning: Are you sure you wish to accept this Super God Quest? If you fail this quest, your account will be deleted, your g**itals will be removed in real life, and your actual immortal soul will be marked for Hell. Of course, considering the peas he could potentially earn, Shi Feng chose to accept the quest without hesitation. Meanwhile, Purple Smile, not to be confused with similar stock characters Purple Rain or Blue Smile or Heavenly Smile or Purple Heart, was astonished by these quest rewards. "Once news of these rewards gets out, even the post-post-transcendental powers' genius peak genius experts wouldn't be able to sit still!" the middle-aged man standing beside Purple Smile exclaimed. It had to be known that genius peak genius experts of post-post-transcendental powers had the qualifications to be arrogant, because they were more likely to be outfitted in 1-piece fragmentary Sacred Bronze Set (Upgraded) equipment than the apex-rank geniuses of Premium Guilds. Of course, even though Shi Feng found Legacies of this caliber every time he tripped over a rock, the congomerates behind the post-post-transcendental powers, including Pepsi and Microsoft, would annihilate whole Realm Clusters to obtain them. It had to be said that each of these Realm Clusters consisted of billions of God's Domains, and such an action would be crippling as many as 10^57 players in real life. That's right -- we have to use scientific notation now to count how many people would pointlessly have their lives ruined over a video game item. When this kind of havoc is unleashed upon a player's whole universe -- and statistically speaking, it will -- they ought to remember one thing: "This crippling was brought to you by Pepsi." Of course, it won't ever happen to the main character, so let that go. Characters such as Green Smile, the Third Successor of Microsoft, had so much influence that even the Green Giant Company would have to lower its head and exit the pea business forever if she so much as sneezed on them, even though she was only a three-star punch fighter, which was equivalent to the fourth trial level or the red belt rank, but must still exist as separate concepts for convoluted reasons which will never be clearly articulated. Such was the nature of her family background! Although Shi Feng accepted the quest, Red Smile (a different character) was not going to take this laying down. "There is no way Shi Feng will be able to defeat Red Smile, who is two trial steps above him, outfitted entirely in Legendary equipment, three minor punch fighter ranks above him in real life, and an apex-rank genius, while clearly anyone who has eyes can tell by looking that Shi Feng is only a transcendentally-almost-peak genius, and a blue belt, " said the middle-aged man beside Purple Smile, who was still a different character from Red Smile. Just then, before anyone could blink, Shi Feng merely punched outward, causing Red Smile's HP bar to hit zero, drop into the negatives, and then max out at full health again due to an integer overflow, technically meaning he was healed. "This... How is this possible?!"
RSSG is s*upid as hell, and I have a lot of fun reading it. There's much to complain about, don't get me wrong. It steals ideas liberally from "Rebirth of the Thief", and ChatGPT could probably fill in the blanks. It's extremely formulaic, the author is emotionally immature, and it's not what I'd call well-planned. But if you want to read garbage, this novel is the beating heart of garbage. If I dedicated my life to writing garbage, I could never pull this off. Lesser writers would be too embarrassed and balk at the multi-universe-crossing scale of this silly game, stopping far short of RSSG's several million words. Rebirth of the Thief was a garbage novel too, but the author didn't have what it took to bring it to this level.
Every RSSG reader who has stuck around this long knows the cyclical pattern of its story arcs by heart. There's no ignoring that repetition. It's so trope-heavy and cyclical that it often feels like it was written by an algorithm; even all the character names feel like they come out of the same two-word username generator. On the other hand, it's a pretty effective algorithm, and fun to read. I've enjoyed it more than many "better-written" works, and stuck through. Sometimes I want masterful planning and well-rounded characters, but when I don't, or can't find it, I come back to RSSG, because it's reliably fun. It rarely wastes the reader's time on pointless details about some guy Shi Feng has to fight, because it's the novel where he kills someone in one hit, and if his friends have to fight someone, we can gloss over that too, because his friends don't matter. There's no frustrating s*upidity and if he's frequently underestimated, as all webnovel protagonists are, it's probably because he's competing under extra hidden rules nobody else has had the fortune of discovering.
RSSG is popcorn filler, ticking progression boxes forever. Shi Feng is the strongest guy, and there are plenty of fist-pumping moments where he gets one over on everyone else with his reincarnator foreknowledge. That's about it. You just have to go in with the right frame of mind and not let yourself be bothered when Shi Feng wastes attribute points by leveling up wrong according to the author's own rules, or forgets about a useful skill he has, or whatever.
Actually, a thought I've had several times while reading is, "The bigger picture is really cool, but I wish a different person was rewriting it." I think that says a lot -- all the random game systems competing to do the same things which could have all been streamlined, the paragraphs in every other chapter about how someone's wearing secret silver gear, and how this is the current standard of such-and-such level players who can reach the fifth floor of the Trial Tower, and that it's equivalent to dark gold gear five levels lower, and blah blah blah. It all kind of sucks, but then Shi Feng gets some insane magic array manipulation skill or whatever, and I forget all about those slow parts. But as for why it doesn't really bother me that badly, I think that while it is beyond tedious, it doesn't hurt like true tedium, because you can just keep reading without even thinking about it.
There are many missed opportunities, and it occasionally will bug me. For example, Shi Feng's party members have no reaction to meeting him IRL. This was the kind of stuff I found really exciting in other VRMMO novels, but RSSG is terrible at it. Does he look different from his avatar? What do they think of the real him? The author doesn't care. And whenever some great secret is revealed to his core guildmates, rather than having any kind of reaction, it happens off-camera. As if it's not even worth a scene. Imagine if you were reading Superman and you were like, "I can't wait for Lois Lane to find out that Superman is actually Clark Kent!" and then the next page said, "By the way, he revealed his secret identity to her last week. She was really shocked." You'd want to tear the comic up, right? But that's the most you can expect to get when someone becomes a core member and finds out that Ye Feng and Black Flame are the same person.
The author's very bad at that human element. He gains an item that allows him to fly, and despite flying around all the time, barely a word is uttered about it, even though he's like Tier-1 at the time, and even the most basic "Hover" is later described as a Tier-4 spell! Or how about this one? He says he wants to help his parents out, but why is there never another word about it? If I had written RSSG, there would definitely have been a throwaway scene of Shi Feng's parents getting shipped a couple bottles of S-rank nutrient fluids, having no idea what these are, and criticizing their wasteful son for using an expensive shipping service to mail them a couple bottles of "some kind of Gatorade". But this is kind of what I mean -- if the author had the kind of brain that cared about those touches, he wouldn't be able to do this. Not nearly so consistently, for so long.
There's no romance either, but when I think about how bad it might be if there were, this may be for the best.
The human players somehow have less personality than the NPCs, and repeat themselves far more often... I think that's often a problem with MMO novels. When all your characters come from the same background, with the same motivations -- a gamer playing a game, who wants to be at the top of the game -- everyone is the same. But the NPCs can be anything.
If I do find anything truly tiresome, it's babysitting the guild and protecting its territory from rival guilds. The novel is far more suited to solo questing and individual power, and I often found myself wishing Zero Wing would just collapse, and he'd be freed of the burden. It's a case where the author took an idea from Rebirth of the Thief but just wasn't as good at establishing its self-sufficiency. A small adventurer team might've been cool too, but that would also demand a richer level of characterization.
A bit of a spoiler here, but after the "main story", the novel basically hits the reset button. I didn't think I'd want to keep reading it, but as the series became more and more bogged down with plot threads, introducing two for every one it resolved, it kinda was exactly what the story needed. Best to no longer have to worry if some item from 2000 chapters ago in Shi Feng's inventory would suddenly come into play again. The writer figured out that his character relationships are so empty and meaningless that he didn't even have to worry about erasing them. And honestly, it's still making many of the same mistakes, it's still not what I would call well-planned, but it's been a kind of joy.
- Characters that were core (up to and including the MC's best friend) go completely unmentioned later on for hundreds of chapters. Those that are mentioned are mentioned in passing as if they were background characters and maybe get a handful of lines.
- Even the MC's backstory is forgotten; Shadow vanishes from the plot completely, as do the MC's parents. What is the reason the MC is even playing this game? According to him, it was just to make money to care for his parents. He should have resolved that about 1500 chapters ago. He's incredibly rich IRL. What is he still doing playing the game? Everything since then has just been consecutively bigger powers picking on him, with each tier being made up out of thin air as the threat of the last one disappears.
- Even the MC seems to have lost track of his own powers; he has powers such as a massive AoE silence that he repeatedly used over and over, but recently hasn't used or mentioned in like 500 chapters. This is hilariously dumb when you consider that the MC is so overpowered even the author can't keep track of everything he can do.
- Villains will start plans that just go completely missing. At one point a villain hired an assassin to kill the MC. But that was almost 1500 chapters ago, and that plot thread hasn't even shown back up. Countless other similar plot threads go completely missing.
- All the rules the author sets in place are forgotten. At one point, the author said that people couldn't break promises or the server would punish them, and if they create alt accounts the server will realize they are doing so and punish them. But literally a couple hundred chapters later, people are backstabbing and being backstabbed left and right, and players are creating alts to evade system punishments.
- Another forgotten rule is that you have to leave every so often to sleep, and you have to replenish nutrient fluid. Instead, the MC just exists in the virtual world now, living in there for 100% of his time.
Overall, it's just... bad! I tried so hard to keep up with it, because a release rate of 3 per day is just insanely good, and I really respected the translators for it. And while unlike most chinese novels, 3 chapters will actually contain developments... none of them matter! The MC never loses, the MC never suffers setbacks, the MC never learns from his actions! Sure, he grows stronger and gets more OP stuff, but it's completely lost any anchor... more>>A very cliche second chance work. Light read, nothing serious
There happened to be many things I hate in this work that are commonly found in most works, so just a short rant.
He have the convenience of forgetting about his bloody parents after brief mentions of them in the early chapters, even though they are supposed to be his motivation and scenes about him in RL is non-existence in latest chapters.
Plus side, MC is overpowered but not omnipotent, much. Actions everywhere so much so that you can forget about some as they pile up then have some pop right back in your face after a couple of chapters.
Also, as quoted by the MC himself, he has the ability to cause betrayal happening in the guilds/parties he is working with, lots of bs later, MC saves the f-king day.
Bonus:
THE f*ck IS WITH SO MANY GIRLS IN MC'S GUILD, THE RATIO OF MALE TO FEMALE IS 1:3, AND MOST IS WITH MC IN MOST SCENES. NOT A HAREM, YET
Lets be honest, GIRL is Guy In Real Life.

Scroll further down to read the TLDR. If you are reading this review, you probably already have read the other reviews so I will not mention the common things. -There is absolutely no romance in this story whatsoever. The MC has seen so many "Goddesses" in his past life that he does not give a single f*ck. -You don't like the Snow Goddess and Zhao Yeru? Just keep reading and they'll be fine. -Things start to change, obviously the players are dumb as f*ck, as the previous reviews mention which stays the same throughout the whole story. However, not exactly everything turns out to be expected by the MC, because of his actions, he creates the butterfly effect, which puts the world he is in on a f*cking speed drug. Expansion packs are coming in left and right when they were meant to be applied years later. -The guild wars are fantastic in my opinion, I've always loved large scale wars and the gradual scale of these wars throughout the novel increases. From hundreds to f*cking 100 million. -The reviews that ask why companies in the real world would invest in the game are reasonable, however, as the story progresses you'll start to understand why. First off, God's Domain is a sort of revolutionary game, it has aspects that can improve the human brain and as the author constantly reminds, a "second world" with accelerated time. -You can play the game while you're asleep and then go to work when you are awake. The working class do not play the game 24/7. They are able to keep up with the main player base because they get carried by the players that DO play 24/7. -Now back to why companies would invest, another aspect to think about is, who wouldn't want to go to another world that has breathtaking adventures and gives you a superhuman body? Also, it's not just the money the major companies are looking for in the game. It's something much more important, but that's a huge spoiler, it'll take you up to like 2500+ Chapters to discover. -How does the MC keep up both his smithing skills and levels? Well, as the author mentions before, due to his vast knowledge of the game, this man can grab certain items that help bridge the gap of his smithing skills falling behind. Remember, this game is not expecting one player to monopolize all the hidden quests and such. These hidden quests are meant to be found extremely rarely by many other individual players. [WHAT I REALLY CARE ABOUT]: Anyways, if you can accept the "overpowered" MC, I think you'll start to appreciate the story. However, I'm afraid that all ends drastically towards the end of the story. So basically, what turns me off the most after finishing the story is that:
Went from your like "King's Avatar" basic game, world building, MC is OP, just playing the game! AND THEN SUDDENLY, IT WENT TO LIKE A MYSTERY THRILLER, somehow, I believe if I remember correctly, two f*cking Super Guilds vanish, at least, the like Guild Leader and Upper Echelon vanish. Which would be the Dragon-Phoenix Pavillion that I'm referring to.
-And then the pacing of the story, although I can understand since the higher tier you are, the easier the game is, it's a bit too much still.
-What I really was displeased with the most was the sudden change in like genre of the entire story. They suddenly introduce Interstella Continents that apparently 100 years ago, humanity launches part of the world's population into outer space. And then suddenly they introduce a bloody "Fourth Dimension" sort of Civilisation that left ancient technology or something for our current Earth??? AND THEN AT THE END OF IT ALL, ONCE THE MC BECOMES A TIER 6 GOD, THE ENTIRE STORY STARTS AGAIN! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? HE WILL LIVE A THIRD BL**DY LIFE! AND HE STARTS AGAIN! LIKE HOLY HELL! I had like a HUGE headache trying to sort the information. And they don't explain why Phoenix Rain was "smuggled" into another world and apparently, God's Domain is just a sub-world, and holy f*ck I can't explain all of this. Like, I thought MC was gonna be like Prince Charming and save Phoenix Rain from whatever but NOPE, just when you thought MC finally reached the pinnacle of all things, it was only the beginning.
-There are Valid reasons for International Companies investing in-game, just finish the story.
-I don't recommend you read the novel unless you don't care about anything.
-This story is not as simple as you think it is. So much so, it's a f*cking turn-off.
-I came here for the OP Reincarnation MC junky stuff, and I got "Otherworlds" "4th Dimension Civilisations" "God Domain is just a sub-world".
-Pacing is questionable.
-No Romance, don't expect anything. (I ship Fire Dance with MC as well as Phoenix Rain)
-Characters are tolerable, just read the story.
-Players are indeed r*tarded.
-There are some aspects that the author introduced early on which just get thrown out of the window as you dive further, but you won't remember them until you read the reviews that point it out for you. (So it doesn't actually impact your experience if you don't realize it)
-Not everything goes according to plan, Welcome to Butterfly Effect.
-I was thinking of making a War Mapping Youtube Video for this web novel for their countless wars, but I threw that out the window after reading the ending.
-Whatever you do, do not read the ending.
-Would've given it a 5 Star if they didn't put the sh*tty ending imo. DO NOT READ THE ENDING PLEASE.
-
- I don't even know how I reached this point of the story. I may have held hope for something. The initial phase was great, but the writer bit off more than they could chew.
Many things have been dropped of and even more have been pushed into the storyline. Connections are made and they disappear as the chapters go on. It's like the author tried to shoot an arrow, but it fell short of its target, so they threw a stone to make up for it but when that didn't work too, they just up and went, aight imma head out. What was this work supposed to be?
