Description

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

Ah, why did I waste my life on this game? Why didn’t I actually quit when I kept saying I would, day after day, because the game was so frustrating? Is this my punishment for playing it?

Become the leader of a cult that has garnered a following!

I was a veteran player of [Conclude: Rise of the Othergod Apostle] . I quit because I was fed up with other players, but I still had lingering regrets for [Hapenesus] a God I couldn’t clear no matter what.

Then, an update notification for [Conclude] popped up. Hoping this might be my chance to finally clear [Hapenesus] , I logged back in.

Hapenesus: My evangelist.

Hapenesus: You are the first of your kind.

SYSTEM: ‘Hapenesus’ grants you a hidden trait.

SYSTEM: Amazing achievement! You have charmed an ‘Othergod’ with just a conversation!

My excitement about possibly being the first to clear ‘Hapenesus’ was short-lived.

Mother Aelusia: My beloved child.

Mother Aelusia: No matter who you choose, I will find you.

Mother Aelusia: And I will be with you.

“No, what is this? Why is it suddenly turning into a horror story?”

SYSTEM: “Mother Aelusia’ is forcibly summoning you to the Dark Realm.

…And just like that, I found myself pulled into a game where I was supposed to be a leader of a cult religion. But surprisingly, the biggest problem wasn’t that I was going to become a cult leader.

Happy War Evangelist (???): Serf

“Wait, I’m… a serf?”

The rating on here is shockingly inflated and I can only assume it's because most people didn't read past the first few chapters, up to that point it's a rather good novel.

... more>>
Spoiler

There's some humour, some interesting concepts, characterisation is fine.

But it gets progressively worse.

The first problem is, the description is utterly misleading, it suggests that MC will lead a cult, or at least serve some god – he does neither.

Everything takes place on the side of the good guys, there's no cult, no serving anyone.

If that's still to come, after over 90 chapters out of 140 something, then that's way too late to use it as the blurb representing the whole novel.

It's just your cliché "I'm not evil but special and everyone loves me" kind of novel.

Everyone does love MC, the first time they meet him.

The romance is... I don't even want to call it that.

MC isn't gay, he's not bi, he's straight. Completely straight and gets goosebumps just by thinking about a guy liking him romantically.

Not in the sense of "closeted gay" but "genuinely straight guy". He doesn't want ML, or any other guy.

I'm at chapter 91 and he doesn't even consider ML a friend, much less has any kind of slightly romantic feelings for him, it's going to end up as a straight guy being bend by plot-forces against all logic or good taste.

Overall, it gets increasingly more convoluted, with unannounced POV switches, no indicator about who's currently talking, time rewinding, etc.

And the story starts to crawl so slowly that the whole thing can't be wrapped up properly with just the remaining chapters, especially because the main plot point hasn't started yet.

Like many Korean novels, it seems to be something originally made for a webtoon, not a novel, as indicated by how often nothing is described, be it environments or even just who's speaking.

It's all happening in a void.

I can't recommend a pictureless webtoon with a bait description, despite the basic idea being quite good and with lots of (wasted) potential.

I love it so far. The MC is an unreliable narrator. It's fun to read how he sees the situation around him vs how others see him. Update: 12/14 now at 100 chapters! Its fun to read but my braincells are fried from mtl in ridi. His abilities:

Spoiler

other blessings doesn't work on him

He charms other people by his words, which is not a trait bestowed to him but what he already has

[collapse]

One review mentioned it's misleading but the title did say NOT A CULT LEADER. If you think that takes away the excitement, nope not at all. At least thats the case for me.

Spoiler

MC is a serf. For those who doesn't know what a serf is, he is from the lowet class and works the land. His main challenge is to not be killed by the order (God Roklem's faction) + to not be found by an evil other god (Mother Aelusia)

[collapse]

MC's allegiance/patron god:

Spoiler

He is "blessed" by Haphenesus who is a mysterious god that appears to be at the lowest ranking with 1 number of followers (apostles). MC is his only apostle. So far though I think this god might be the most powerful since blessings of other gods does not work on MC but he is kind of shitty as well since he gave no other blessings to MC

[collapse]

Why MC will not be a cult leader:

Spoiler

I actually wont read this if he becomes a killing maniac as an apostle because thats what otherr apostles of other gods do. So when he joins the other side (the order's/good guys' side) its quite understandable so really I dont get the other review hehe but then again I am yet to read more so yeah peace

[collapse]

The translation is great! I always wait for it and also hoping to read from ridibooks. Anyone who wants to buy chapters together d.m. Me

I absolutely love this novel. The writing, the MC, the clues in the chapters you might have missed that connects back later, the horror, the comedy, etc. The unreliable narrator/limited perspective/dramatic irony is just a chef's kiss on top of that -literally one of my favorite tropes.

... more>>
Spoiler

Also (romance) ? (Yaoi) ? I'd personally replace that tag with comedy, especially for the beginning. Most of the romance is just suffering and the MC is practically gray-aroace. Imo it's shonen-ai and a fantasy with a male love interest.

[collapse]

Edit:

Saw another person saying that the MC is straight and the novel is going to "bend" him, that the description is a bait, and that it's made for a webtoon.I heavily disagree.

  • 1. He doesn't show interest in girls, heck, he doesn't even notice the men AND woman that likes him. I personally see him as being closer to aroacespec, like demi or grey.

    2. The title here says that he's not a cult leader, but a serf
    Spoiler

    (while the original Korean title says he becomes a god)

    [collapse]
    so I don't see why that comment feels tricked by it.

    3. Even before, I thought that it'd be difficult to adapt such a dialogue heavy & descriptionless novel like this into a webtoon.

    One of the most fun part of the novel is using the limited knowledge and information that, when scrapped together chapter by chapter, paints a picture.

    For example,
    Spoiler

    it doesn't say out right when the ML regresses, it gives readers clues to figure it out.

    [collapse]
    and drawings simply can't capture the full mystery and intrigue of the Novel; it can't visualize the Lovecraftian unknowing without showing too much. Additionally, webtoons tend to get rid of unnecessary details in novels when adapted, which would suck for this 'cause some details you wouldn't think would be important turns out to be important and it'd also be boring to have chapters of inner monologues and conversations lol. But I can understand how it's a very hit or miss trope.

I'm really excited about this one, the game and how it's introduced made me wish it existed. Very well written, I hope the author writes a book about the " I turned a captured a heresy inquisitor and turned him into a Nekomimi paladin"

Anyways, I just really wanted to write because there's no reviews yet. This is my first time writing a review on this site☠️

The advice I have for those interested in reading this is not to compare this novel and the description it gives to what usually happens in novels that have a similar setting. In all honesty, I had given up on this novel once I found out how few chapters it had and still seemed to be going nowhere... or at least no where I expected.

But I went back, and I’m so glad I did. While I am not yet finished, and who knows I might change my opinion the more... more>> I read, the complexity of this novel is really refreshing.

This is cosmic horror, you need to remember that. This is not a typical regression novel where the MC will transmigrate into a weak character and get really strong, gaining recognition. No, the character will continue to use the ability that got him in the whole transmigrating mess in the first place, his tongue and his mind.

This novel is more of a mind game than anything, and a lot of events that happen in the story happen almost “off camera”, so you as a reader need to use context clues to figure out when those moments happen. Although you’re still lacking what really happened. This is “unreliable narrator” at its finest.

While I’m saying all this, you just have to judge for yourself. Idk about you guys but I’m desperate for these types of novels, so I read anything I can get, and this one was really cool and intriguing to me. While I found myself thinking it was shallow at some points, I think I was just prebiased because the story wasn’t unfolding the way I wanted it to (from past knowledge on how these types of novels really flow). So, try it out.

Plus, the translation is really good, so thank you. <<less

One word. Boring. I tried and tried to read this but it progressively got worse as chapters went by.

The summary is blatantly misleading and is my number one complaint, if anything else.

  • Actually, what would of saved this novel, is if in fact, the MC was a cult leader or actually just a villain - and that this series leaned more into the fantasy and action aspects rather then the "talk you to death" approach.
The griping issue with this novel is that it's clearly meant to be plot driven.

... more>>
  • The issue with this approach, if not executed properly, is boring your reader to death.
Areas of issue I have with this novel could be summed up in the following:

  • Plot driven but boring. The world created is interesting, however the utilisation of it is wasted.
  • Fantasy aspects, (Gods, "Magic", Blessings), not used in interesting ways to draw in the reader or rarely used in an active fashion.
  • Endless rambling. Pointless dialogue that don't add anything to the story or characters.
  • POV changes. It can work well, but in this novel, no. I was not a fan of how this series switched POV's. To be quite frank, I couldn't care less about Nasir's POV on things. I simply didn't care or want to.
This series has potential but it's wasted. The world created really piques my interest but it's severely underutilized.

Rise of the Othergod Apostle: Not a Cult Leader, but a Serf?! Reads to me more as a story that lacks proper direction and focus. <<less

Read only the first 10 chapters so far but I think it really has potential. I like the MC we've been given; he's clever and he seems to be effortlessly persuasive in his speech but unaware of it. I'm hoping it will be a complex story with depth and good world-building. I will update this review with my thoughts when I've read further.

I don't who those three people are who rated it as 1 star when there are only 7 chapters as of yet.

Right now it is really interesting and I am waiting for updates.

I really liked the beginning, MC is smart and cautious, he actually used logic to outsmart a God, I also like that these evil Gods are actually evil with inhuman mindset.

Give it a go.

The cover's such a tease and you won't have any idea who they are until later on. For people curious :

Spoiler

Brown/Black hair = MC. He's a apostle of an outergod nicknamed "Happy", posing as an innocent serf.


Red hair = Nicknamed "Mother God", an outergod obsessed with MC, he's not the ML (The novel isn't completed though so who knows)

Outergods = Evil gods outside the main god's rule. Their followers are seen as heretics.

My best bet of a ML has black hair and blue eyes. He's the protagonist of the first game and a knight of the Holy Order.


If you look for fanarts, you'll also find arts of MC with a blue haired person. He's a apostle for another Outergod and MC's gaming best friend. (They are a really popular ship currently).
[collapse]

The author loves to keep readers confused and honestly her writing style is frustrating for me, I'll explain. The author loves being super long-winded with explainations and since we are in a first-person perspective of someone who overthinks, we have to go through countless word dump of the same scenario. Moreover, MC's an extremely unreliable narrator so even if we know he's thinking of complete BS , we have to sit through reading all his nonsense. It doesn't help that the ML has a time-looping ability so we have to sit through the same text multiple times with slight variations. Though the author did utilize his yapping to cook up the ultimate angst, it wasn't fun paying for different chapters containing similar contents.

Anyway, this was not easy to MTL due to countless slangs and complicated double-meanings so kudos to the translator. I could tell this was the first novel they translated since I've read their other translations before and they've improved a lot, really appreciate the effort!

That said, I think this novel really deserves being one of the top rated BL novels in korea because the amount of thought put into the details is crazy. This is an extremely complicated novel with multiple layers of time-loops, reincarnations, parallel world-theories taking place all at the same time within the confines of a world revolving life and death. Honestly the first 100 chapters served more as an introductory and a tutorial stage, with multiple reloops, and the real action begins after that when enough framework is set. I wouldn't say the romance is slow burn, but the entire story itself starts out slow because the world's at peace.

There are countless characters in the novel who are distinct. It did felt like some characters were just introduced and thrown aside, but overall it was decently written and I had an easy time remembering everyone. The main point is, the main characters were extremely well-written. It's really impressive how much growth and change they've gone through that if I look back at the first 100 chapters, I'd wonder if they were really the same people.

Both the main MC and ML are extremely innocent and ignorant (and heavy gaslighters). They go through countless challenges and in a way, suffered. The tone of the story shifts as they get closer to the "countdown date" and the things they have to go through were painful to read. There are countless trigger warnings, so please proceed with caution because this novel gets really dark later on. It is a novel surrounded with crazy cult ideals and it's not a lie to say most of the characters have lost their minds. There are some deranged characters who appear later on and their actions are normalized due to the nature of their world. The MC is one of the most grounded person and if you think he's annoying at the beginning, you'll realise that it's his way of coping with the dire situation he's in. He's honestly the most sane person around. ML on the other hand is really mentally strong. He starts out with a puppy crush that turns into obsession due to various factors but who can blame him.

Spoiler

Warning - big spoilers ahead.

ML had to watch MC die over and over again. He had to live with those memories while MC remembers none of it and vice versa. The jump in POVs is super excrutiating because you realise how distorted everyone's memories are. One of the most painful chapter for me was 220. I won't spoil too much but the top comment in Ridi made my heart break. There are reasons for a lot of things you'd dismissed at the start, like why everyone loves MC, why didn't the other transmigerators seek the protagonist out, etc, but it'll take a while to reach those answers.

[collapse]

As for some of the people in the reviews saying that the description is misleading, it's actually not. You just have to sit through a hundred over chapters of yapping to reach there. Tough for people who likes concised works, I know, because I'm one of them.

This entire novel is a torturous journey for the main characters and I pray they both have a Happy end- as per what the MC's god ordains. This is one of those novel that's has a overarching plot so complicated that it's probably going to run on for another few hundred chapters before it's completed so I'll let it marinate before coming back.

Accidentally gave it a 1/5 but it's a 4.3/5 for now. 4.8/5 if it wasn't so long-winded. (This is the Author's first official publish on Ridi, so I'll be a bit more lenient with the ratings I give.)

I'll be honest here: no hard feelings.

To be honest, I like this. This novel is quite in line with my taste.

The plot is great, the world building is impeccable, characters feel three dimensional. There's nothing much to complain about.

... more>> The main character, Fabio, yaps a lot. His inner monologues are so funny but that's kind of his charm. He is obviously not a perfect protagonist. He can't stay calm all the time; he's no genius, etc. But that makes him more humane.

There's some kind of harem (both male and female) around MC and I love it a lot. Actually, I'd prefer it more if this novel were a harem. But it's not, so some people had to be disappointed. And I'm one of those disappointed people.

I'm not sure about who the ML is. There are many possible candidates. And I actually hate the most possible candidate.

Then, let's talk about the possible MLs. Although there are also women who fell for MC, since this is bl, the final chosen one had to be a male.

To avoid the spoilers, I will only brief about them.

1. Nasir (The golden-eyed inquisitor)

He shows interest in MC but I don't find him to be the possible male lead. Compare to other competitors, he feels underwhelming.

2. The (male) Holy Maiden

He is also the saint of the order. I find him to be a hidden yandere type. I also ship him the most with MC. He has a kind of complexity that makes him unique and I'm tired of generic MLs, so...

3. The Sixth Apostle of Order

MC has a little misunderstanding about him. This guy genuinely likes MC but MC thinks he's in love with another woman (fifth apostle, who by the way, also loves MC in that way). Kind of pitiful, if you asks me. I hate that author kind of forgot him after the real possible male lead came around.

4. The game's protagonist

This is the guy who is the most possible male lead. He is the original protagonist of the game, who has some memories of their world getting invaded by the cults. With that memory, he got a time-returning artifact, which can turn back to an hour ago. Although other readers sing praises about him, I don't really like him. It's because he manipulated MC with that artifact and wants to control MC everywhere. He also gaslighted MC into fake dating him because of the impending doom. Isn't this just taking advantage of him? C'mon, MC, there are better options out there. Why I think he's the ml? Because he has the longest screen time and has the most intimate moments with MC (not talking about s*x, btw).

5. The prophet of the Outer God: The Distorted One

He is also another player. He is a total psycho who appears to be innocent at first. (To be fair, none of the summoned players are sane. Even MC. Those things he did and the strategies he came up with in his main account are downright horrifying). He is a player actually obsessed with the game's protagonist. But now, he seems to have transfered that obsession to MC.

6. The so-called best friend

Another player. Actually, he appears in the later chapters and I haven't seen him yet. So, take this character at face value. I just know from some spoilers that he and MC have one of the biggest ships in this novel.

7. Happy God

Since MC isekai-ed, this God hadn't appeared even once. But according to the summary and the times he interacts with MC, I'd say he's also one of the possible male leads.

To be honest, I'd take any male lead over the game's protagonist. That's how much I dislike him. Hell, even if mc's lover miraculously become a female in a bl novel, I'd accept her over him. <<less

WARNING - a quite long review and all in my opinion:

This anime-like webnovel is by far my second-best novel right after the omniscient reader that I've read so far. Up to ch. 138 by the time I'm writing this has been a blast, where it forces you to think and figure out the events based on context clues as it doesn't tell you right in the face. This type of writing is rare for me, and it is, to me, by far the most realistic writing regarding the perspective of... more>> the reader. Most of the time, to what the MC know is to what we know like how it is irl, except we do know a bit more as we can see snippets of others' POV (of one's feelings and/or situation) that happens at the same/current time.

As to some reviews I've read:

Spoiler

I am aware the reviews are your opinion, but I'd like to address one thing. The first chapter literally indicated that he will become a cult leader, as drawn in the novel cover where both identities are one person. But probably not for Happy Other God as he doesn't care about that stuff, but likely forced by Mother Other God where MC might have died at some point and "reincarnated" into the body of the cult leader as foretold and desired by Mother Other God. But he doesn't like being a cult leader and decided to flee/end himself where he bumped into the ML (in first chapter) but not sure if the MC remembers his past indenty's memory. This is what I theorize based on events and context clues in later chapters after the first few chapters.

[collapse]

I do understand for those who felt bored after a little while, as I can literally use one word to describe this novel: psychological. So I would recommend to those who is into psychological plot driven where every, and I mean EVERY events and situation to how they are are linked and affected by characters' action and speech. It is reflected by how characters think + see + apply the powers / blessings to manipulate the situations and individuals into their favor that causes a chain of events (butterfly effect), including
Spoiler

the Gods and Other Gods.

First of all, the description is a bit misleading for now so please keep that in mind our MC is not really a cult leader I mean he is kinda but not in a way that you imagine it would be (I guess he will be in the future though idk).

This is deceptively good. Especially once you get passed the first few chapters of set up. The first chapter of prologue was confusing since it teased what's to come but that's ignorable once you get into the pacing of the story.

I think it's especially deserving of 5 stars because I'm usually super skeptical on any religious or horror setting. Both aren't really my cup of tea.

The entire story so far is like a mystery thriller. The horror aspect has yet to come as the 'main' storyline has yet to pass.... more>> But there's so much reference to it that it's a race to prevent majority of the tragedies that are to come. Honestly it doesn't feel like your traditional BL until way later into the chapters.

The romance on the other hand reads like a romcom most of the time. It's honestly a good way to wind down the mind from the anticipation of the horror aspect that's to come. MC is the definition of having intelligence but no wisdom in this aspect. And it is funny especially when the side characters try really hard to maintain his dignity while not so subtly try to hint it out.

MC feels like your typical transmigrated character. Overthinking the future events that haven't happened yet. Underthinking situations when the obvious answer is there. He's pretty standard in my opinion as MCs go but it's not a bad thing. His reactions are honestly par for the course. Reasonably.

I honestly do know who the real ML is.

Spoiler

It's either the Othergod Hapenesus or the protagonist of the game MC was transmigrated in. I know the protagonist has so much more screen time in the story along with his heavy involvement in the story in the first place but the set up implies that MC and Hapenesus are going to be a thing due to their relationship as God and Apostle. And with how the story is right now, there's a heavy implication that the MC can't escape that relationship. The story even says that death isn't an escape from them either.

[collapse]

But I will say MC and the protagonist interacting is morbidly sweet and hilarious. Especially with the protagonist's ability.

Spoiler

The protagonist has the ability to 'reload' 1hr of time at the cost of his stamina. A quicksave for gamers. My favorite scene involving the reload ability is when the protagonist gave up on a scene with MC only for the MC to turn around the next day and ask him for a lunch date after some explanation. He literally went, "I should've donated to the love god sooner than drain myself with reload" when that happen and I laughed to tears.

[collapse]

There's alot of worrying on MCs part, but the story is super engaging with its weird horror, mystery, thriller, romcom combination. <<less

MC is a clever guy but thinking too much. Nice skills.

Full of time loops and reading analysis.

The Other characters are nice but quite vicious.

There's harem elements but it is more like devotion due to the main characters halo of innocence. Which I think is suitable for a cult leader so I like it 👍.

... more>> ML is pretty clear as the story continues.

Summary|

MC the Happy apostle avoids the bad apostle route by relying on the good order faction apostle only to find out religion in general is a cult.

It is in the church order that members of the order and non-order cults fall in love approach the protagonist.

Then Happy apostle and Time Wizard makes others eat dogfood in between insanity. <<less

HOW DO I UPDATE MY RATINGS TO ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ STAR?? I MADE A MISTAKE (⁠ ⁠⚈̥̥̥̥̥́⁠⌢⁠⚈̥̥̥̥̥̀⁠)

Tis the novel for you if you love misunderstandings where:

MC: I have just taken a set of actions that will cause the other person to hate me ヽ⁠ (⁠ (⁠◎⁠д⁠◎⁠) ⁠) ⁠ゝ

Other person: falling madly in love with MC

It's a pretty plot focused story too so no quick romance

... more>>
Spoiler

(characters fall in love with our MC within one meaningful dialogue but he has no interest in romancing them)

[collapse]

There's definitely a 'innocent bean, must protect' vibe attached to the MC lol

But the lore is extensiveeeeee, the world building is out of hand with how detailed it gets and I definitely found myself OFTEN getting totally s**ked into it. (⁠☆⁠▽⁠☆⁠) Yet, if you're looking for quick smut, this ain't the story for you buddy.

The characters are fleshed out well 4/5

World building 6/5

MC 4/5

ML 4/5

Overall, totally recommend (⁠ ⁠´⁠◡⁠‿⁠ゝ⁠◡⁠`⁠) <<less

I read all 150 Chapters within 3 days.

I would like to say that you have the usual fun and entertainment with any other isekai manhwas until Chapter 40. Its like an introduction to the world and MC's surroundings. After that, it feels like a psychological horror because of the way the author switches the POV between characters and allowing you to see each character's experince.

I felt this much more when I came across the god of records chatpter. I found that part very genius because had the author showed the future Fabio first, rather than the 24th floor fabio. I would have no attatchment or empathy towards the 24th floor Fabio. Also it came quite a while for the novel cover to show up in the story, it happens in the whole situation with the 24th floor fabio. Its Fabio with Mother God

[collapse]

Only, after the 100th chapter and later does the story near the actual starting point the MC mentions in the beginning of the story. The worldbuilding is awesome. Though, the story feels more like a shounen with bromance than it does a yaoi..
Spoiler

To be honest I feel like the author will make the MC like Shen Qingqiu from SVSSS. Not gay, but will do it for the sake of duty/responsibility type of attitude.

Spoiler

Also, I did think at some point in the story the MC would eventually become a cult leader. Perhaps they will considering the amount of people who are moved by Fabio's words. Theyre quite in love with him. However, thats just my speculation. Because in the first chapters, it was mentioned how MC was a cult leader who was screaming how terrifying it is to be a cult leader and to wake up to someone offering themselves. I'd assume that was him in the future as a cult leader but it never (or hasnt) came.

[collapse]

I read it for the MLM, stayed because it was fun, When it was no longer fun I stayed because the plot and characters peaked my curiousity. Kind of feels like I'd been tricked into reading the whole story even though that wasnt what I meant to look for. I do enjoy slow paced stories, Im a fan of slowburn! If theres an interesting book with 1000 chapters? That means I get to entertian myself nonestop with a lovely show! So I hope that it doesnt end soon, because the starting point of the game is what im really looking forward to.
Spoiler

If it ended right on the 25th December which is one of the main reasosn I kept reading in the first place, I would feel offended somewhat.

It's a good read so far, I definitely recommend trying it. The first few chapters focus on setting up the story and getting the protagonist where he needs to be. The relationship between MC and the other characters is super amusing. Also, don't be mislead by the reviews that say they were mislead (thought MC was going to lead a cult) and that the description is wrong. They weren't. The description explicitly states that the MC is a SERF, not a cult leader. It also says that in the title.... more>> I'm not sure how they got that mixed up. <<less

I’m really impressed by how witty this novel is. MC is smart but also dumb and it creates a hilarious dynamic. It’s a little hard to believe that MC can be that clueless about romance, but it’s entertaining nonetheless.

ML is well characterized as well. I love the way they’re always playing mind games with each other, and there’s intriguing attempts at deception on both sides
