Also, this "reincarnation into the game" setting is a totally unrequired element because the author never tells you about the protagonist's real life. He could just say that the protagonist is not the otherworlder but some random overpowered guy that time-traveled and reincarnated. Nothing will change.
Further, the main character's ingame past is very obscure. His motives are weak, and the author tries his best to avoid speaking about it.
The last major problem, terrible translation. Translator can't stop blabbering. His comments destroy any immersion you managed to get. Not to mention the fact that he took some liberties with translation. Present four problems ruined this novel for me. Don't know about what potential people are talking about.
I'm used to transmigration, time travelers and other mc's of that type, that's not a problem.
The problem lies with making the game world REAL.
See in game, I can cope with tremendously s*upid and incompetent characters. It's like "well ok... s*upid npc's be s*upid". In this case you can't say that, for these characters everything that happens is 100% physical (unless the author flips the script later on). So when I see an incompetent idiot put herself in danger over a piece of equipment or idiot MC awaking a world boss if not entire undead army over his own carelessness. It really takes me out of the action and the setting. I hate novels where everyone is just INCOMPETENT. 2. No respect for authority.
This random nobody (MC) goes around dictating everyone around and they take it... no, just no why are the leaders so INCOMPETENT that they let a KID order them around??????? WHYYYYY 3. Gaming mechanics.
If I had to cut off a finger for each situation the MC asspulls a mid-combat XP and AP level up to save his ass, I'd be finger-less. HE kills 3 skeletons... hmmm "let's get a skill that makes me invulnerable for 5 minutes".
Great moves author.... nice power progression, giving a level 1 noob overpowered artifact and endgame paladin skill. 4. Artifacts... by current chapter his decked out in artifacts that are 40-50 level above his own.
The translations is fine and but is tweaked to make the novel flow better - however as of 27/09/18 the translator has stated he has made changes to the raws so there are actual discrepancies now, it is difficult to state the full impact of these changes as they are in its infancy and although the core plot seems to be the same, this is no longer a 1:1 translation. The other issue with the translation is that it's extremely slow and erratic (by erratic I mean releases/month) - at current translation rate it would take 10 years to complete whole novel. The novel itself is well written with great character development but the romance is very weak which is a shame because the characters are excellent. Basically the romance in this novel is limited to blushing/ awkward feelings. By end the MC does have a harem and intimacy is implied but for most of this novel the reader is left to their imagination. The plot is good but can get needlessly convoluted at times. The combat system is fine but getting the two fighting methods (one is magic the gathering card game tactics, other is classic sword fighting) to flow doesn't always work. I rated this novel 5 stars because the characters are great and I like the MC who is ruthless when he needs to be but usually is rational, calm and caring. The girls are diverse albeit all of them seem to love him. The exploration and world building is very well done. All the chapters are approx 50% longer than your typical light novel which I really enjoyed. If you don't like reading machine translations then you might want to skip this novel as it will be a very long time until it's fully done. The machine translations itself is actually on the more difficult side to follow but if you do keep until the end you'll be satisfied with the albeit slightly rushed ending.
