Luo Yi, a high school dropout in his original world, was isekai’d into the world of the Witcher 3. Starting out as a weak boy named Roy in the village of Kaer, Lower Posada, he was determined to grow stronger, no matter what it took. The first step toward becoming a legend was to kill. And his first kill was… a rooster. ‘You gain 1 EXP.’ Of course, Roy had his own cheat system like all the other isekai protagonists. His first step to becoming a legend started now…

Edit: to @Blisfulloblivion my friend, this might be one of the rare good ones. A good fan-fic novel is hard to find because authors portray the original characters to their liking, breaking the whole character's core and just conveniently interpreting the character using just the characteristics they want, and its bad fan-fic in that case.

The whole series is situated years before the start of witcher 3 (the game I only played) and with a little knowledge of what would happen and tidbits here and there, this is the rare novel... more>> that display copied characters truthfully. Gerald will come around ch170s (?) so stay tuned for that.

I am comparing this novel with other tons of fan-fic novels in Novelupdates with 90% of the rating below 3. Their sheer confidence of jumping though series, making nonsensical portrayals of scenario that did not, would not and never happen happen and throwing out the love the author had for the character breaks my heart.

Another reason why I deem this ad a good novel other than the one I stated is because I am comparing another Witcher fan-fic novel, "demon hunter and his hut". The audacity of the author making Witcher a hero of justice, Witcher should cultivate, wrong use of the Witcher back ground and powers is the true horror you should be complaining about.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

A very high quality Chinese novel, very much like in between the legendary mechanic and the lord of mystery

A unique interpretation of the Witcher lore and creative at arranging the characters too

The world just feel alive and all the characters doesn't feel forced or mechanical, characters that does evil or turn chaotic neutral alignment is also explained skillfully in this novel

The power system is well taken from the Witcher universe, even with his golden finger, making him improve his power quickly but not even the strongest at the latest chapters (ch450). Other characters raise their powers realistically, a very good use of time span, it had been around 3 years in the novel and the power level of the whole series plus Mc's development is stable (doesn't go on a DBZ or xianxia power scaling competition)

Characters keep their characteristics consistent through out the series, enemies and allies alike. And the author's original character that interacts with the game character fits well without destroying the relationship, or changes the whole plot realistically. MC also realize changing a scenario creates butterfly effect and the consequences later on.

Everyone is moving in this novel, breathing, a well creation by this author, they progress for better or worse and its still going on

Actually this is novel is better than most Korean/Chinese transmigration to a game, but instead of a fictional game that doesn't make any sense, it's a actual one, you can say that the author didn't create the settings of the game word but he's does a good job respecting the world of The Witcher.

The MC does have a system but he's not OP or conveniently OP, until where I read, chapter 17, (i may edit this part if something change too quickly but I doubt seeing how the novel... more>> is going) he's still a kid, maybe a kid stronger than people of his age but he's not stronger than a normal adult and he's not a witcher or mage yet so he's still going to die against any beast. It has good characters and the author does a good job in setting the world, if you don't know The Witcher you may lost some details, but you can understand pretty easily what is going on the author explain well to new people.

I don't know why the other guy is so butthurt, "it's not awful but it's not good either" then gives 1/5 not 2/5 or maybe 3/5, maybe he doesn't like these type of novels (Isekai/Transmigration to a game/novel) which is okay, I'm not a fan either but it's not a 1/5, but the novel up to chapter 17 he never talked about Geralt neither a monologue about him, he only briefly mentioned him, ciri too.

Considering this is a asian webnovel not an usual fan fiction this is much better than the usual troupe, isekaied inside a game now I have to avoid death flags being kind and now everyone is in love with me, or inside my game or the game I'm am an super otaku fan.

It's not perfect I say, the novel doesn't enter in much detail about his past, only explain to us who he were and how he was and now he's having a second chance, a better life than before, and I don't like how

It's not bad but inconsistent on power levels (MC will miraculously get the kill or miraculously use his will stat to clutch out something when the author is too lazy) and honestly it's really forced plots after he gets through his trials

I stopped reading for the following reasons.

The "romance" element which should not be there is there way too much. This includes old ladies mol*sting him, big breasted elves. A lake spirit. And a literal 8 year old?

The author literally says " the relationship between a 20 year old and... more>> their 10 year old adoptee? Father daughter, or could it be romantic love? It's hard to say" and then proceeds to make weeeeeeiiiiiird comments and add overly attached 8 year old to our MC (while describing the childs physical features in detail)

The MC is 14 after transmigration but an adult in his first life and exhibits the mental state of an adult, so this just was uncomfortable <<less

Top tier work, great power balancing intresting fight sequences. This work stays true to the lore and its laws. I would even go as far to say it has graduated from a mere fanfiction into a great original piece.

The elements of the witcher world is explained and described instead of being thrown in lazily.

The characters supporting, main, mobs even are all fleshed out < a very hard thing to do without boring the readers>

The plotlines are as entertaining as the witcher game it self, from minor sidequests, to chainquest to... more>> mainquests.. The flow of events seem natural and not forced. With time to breather in between < unlike most novels where all the sh*t just starts hitting the fan for no reason>.

In conclusion, Great pacing, world building and description. <<less

While this novel is not that bad, it's certainly overrated. Let's start with the s*upid title. There's nothing "divine" about the MC, and he's definitely not a "hunter".

I really hate how slow paced the story is. I stopped at about 80% of the story, and at that point he had only passed 2 trials. No to mention, there were still real no signs of Bears and Manticores either.

The MC is portrayed as OP with a hodgepodge of different powers, to the point he seems invincible. And then, he gets his... more>> ass kicked the moment he meets a couple of grandmasters without as much as dealing any blow to them, and only survives because of his cheat.

The author suddenly sends the MC to

, which was weird. But, what pissed me off, that he never properly explored it, there is a lot to gain there which could have made him much stronger.

The pace was alright at first, but the author stopped focusing on the MC and his growth, and instead focused on war and politics, which I found incredibly boring. After 540+ chapters, I just got tired. I could see how it's going to play out, and it was getting too depressing for my taste. <<less

Plot

In term of plot, I would say it's barely passable.

The protagonist know the future and thus yearn to gain strength to survive the incoming wars.

... more>> But there's no much else. The author lose himself in quite a few side arcs with interesting content that reveal much of the background but has little to do with the protagonist plot.

One main reason I deem it barely passable is that the protagonist is protected by plot armour and the author doesn't try to hide it. There's little tension because there are always safety nets in place to guarantee the protagonist will always be safe. And since he doesn't get attached to anything or anyone apart from his mentor, there's really nothing he takes the risk of losing.

Background

The background is taken from the games Witcher but I would still rate it as excellent because the author has the ability to imagine the scene and transcript it into a realistic scenery. Breathing a emotional atmosphere into scenes that put the protagonist in the centre.

Characters

I think this is where the novel shine. 5/5 without hesitation.

The characters are well fleshed and every one of them have their own story, flaws and strengths. It's easy to picture them and think of them as realistic.

The only one I'm still dubious about is the protagonist. Due to plot armour, he's too perfect. Always get what he wants from people.

Conclusion

A quality novel that has a a good pace and just enough descriptions to make it immersive without boring the readers. I would recommend it warmly. <<less

Honestly so surprising how good it is to say it is mostly a fanfic. You got the MC who isn't amazing just because he's the MC. You see him trying to get better in a world full of monsters, although it does help that he has a system and knowledge of the world.

I like the fact that author didn't go the usual route with Geralt being central figure with the MC, the MC is an OC. Although the MC is OC, it doesn't take away from the story.

All in all,... more>> great story. Although I've heard the ending isn't great, it won't stop me from finishing it. <<less

Quite a frustrating story with a frustrating MC in a frustrating world. The story is filled with subplots with unreasonable characters, I would rather read chinese novel with arrogant youngmasters over this sh*t because of how unsatisfying the ending of each and every single arc is. The story isn't bad per se but compared to the reviews, this novel is painfully average at best. I've read 250+ chapters but this sh*t is just not fun for me. MC's growth could be faster if author tried to use timeskip but nah... more>> author loves the grueling snail pace of the story. Despite the Game Elements in the novel, the whole thing lacks the satisfaction from mc's growth! A very unsatisfying journey. Author keeps spending time on useless things dragging the story, I hate how the author makes the MC act s*upid and dense intentionally when it comes to investigations. The story was bogged down by intentionally making the MC ignore the obvious and dragging the plot to make it longer than necessary.

Another problem was the MC's Status Window is not accurate. Author always forgot to count in some of MC's stats and the story just continues and those Attribute points that MC worked hard for disappeared completely. (This happened on chapter 112-116 & 150+) There's no point for these stats and numbers because author doesn't seem to care about doing it right.

Another thing is the romance part. For fvcks sake. This is complete shit, an abomination! For absolutely NO REASON at all author is being so vague about mc's relationships with women, mc's lost his v*rginity (probably) to some no-named priestess and that girl never actually appears she was only mentioned on conversation, I don't even know what she look like and I'm having doubts whether it really even happen because the conversation only says "MC comes out from a priestess room last night" that's just how vague the author is making it out to be. Other than that MC also had some flirting moments with a sorceress yet author only describe it so vaguely that I'm doubting whether MC really in a relationship or not (idk). Author doesn't word anything at all when women are involved the author for absolutely no reason suddenly becoming cryptic as if the word "Sex, Kisses & Love" are some kind of taboo words, when MC was ask about his relationship by his comrades he's gonna deny it vehemently saying they're only friends and it's not like that blah blah blah.. He acts like a fearful virg*n who doesn't want to admit to his feelings and when it comes to romance MC transforms into a beta japanese protagonist acting shy and reluctant. In fact, MC is more inclined to say romantic things to men than women in this novel, MC is probably partly gay in denial (lol jk) but it's not unfounded! For example MC says something on Cintra Arc: "I'm willing to fall in love with Serrit if only Serrit was a woman!" but when it comes to women MC acts shy and reluctant, even in his monologues MC never said anything about his feelings for a women but talk a lot when it comes to men. This isn't the first time this happened, MC acts stoic when women flirts to him but then on Ellander Arc there's this effeminate guy that MC had to interrogate (author even had to describe how slender and smooth the dudes arms lol wtf). The MC, despite being able to act stoic in front of women here the MC he is too bothered by how effeminate some guy is. MC is weird asf. Idk why the author trying to make MC act like a half-assed guy. I like romantic subplots in my novel, but rather than inserting such an filthy romance story in the novel this story is better without the romance part. MC's attitude is just making the whole thing worse. MC is a Frustrating main character that is not worth sticking with. He's a fool, a hypocrite and a very unrelatable character.

I was suppose to give this novel a 2/5 overall but I gotta give my worst this time because I really felt like I stepped on a worse pile of shit. If you're thinking of reading this novel, think again, you shouldn't be here. Think again. Lol <<less

It started great. I wouldve called it a perfect example of how to do a fan fiction novel.

You got the feel of being a witcher, with the training / hunting / comradery. You got the feel of an insert story, with the MC using knowledge of the lore to alter the story and accumulate power without it being too much. The story did start to lean a bit too much into war and politics for my taste but it was fine.

But then the story turned into an amateur writer's story,... more>> where they have no idea how to progress the story so it turns cringey with tons of extra elements thrown in. The MC plot armor survives and then gets sent out of the witcher into Skyrim. It went from what felt like a believable story into a middle schoolers fiction. From other reviews, it seems like he gets back to the witcher, but I've lost all interest in reading that. <<less

My review is below. I put a spoiler tag but tbh I'm not really giving any spoilers about any of the main events. If you want to avoid spoilers at all costs, here is a 3 sentence summary of my 1-star rating:

MC is a dense moron who gets sexually harassed left and right. The story also progresses at a snail's pace so MC is a literal kid throughout the WHOLE novel without much development in anything EVER. He's also a fu*k boy who lost his virg*nity to some random girl... more>> who was never mentioned again.

If this is what you're looking for, you're definitely gonna enjoy this novel (like those 5-star comments above me). But unfortunately, I'm incapable of enjoying this absolute horror of a story (also check out Mahesvara_'s review)

Spoiler

Problem 1: The author decided to make MC falls in love with a woman who sexually harassed him dozens of times - though he did get sexually harassed by multiple other characters. Ig the author finds this fun because of his fetishes (not unexpected ig, since Stockholm syndrome and relevant stuff have become pretty popular recently. The moment I saw MC getting sexually harassed and not properly reacting to it I should've guessed what's about to come haha. I feel so s*upid).

Did I mention MC also has a suspicious semi-romantic relationship with an 8 year old?

At the start, MC went into a long monologue that he wants to live without losing himself to pleasures of women and wine etc. Which made me really like him. I genuinely thought he's a rare protagonist who's not gonna lose himself to lust etc.

As obvious, the author just slammed a big "fu*k you" to my face. MC ended up just randomly losing his v*rginity to some random girl author didn't even bother to give her a name haha. While also getting sexually harassed over and over but not even giving a serious reaction to it...

Problem 2: I'm still waiting for MC to finish the trials (Imaoo). At this pace, I guess we're just gonna get an open ending in chapter 640 without MC being able to solve any of the mysteries whatsoever.

It's been over 400 chapters and MC is barely even a teenager. Like wtf author? Witchers can live for hundreds of years. MC literally has all the time in this world in his hands. And your decision after realizing this is... to make MC stay a teenager for the whole novel?

This sh*t is a direct demonstration of what happens when an author is incapable of utilizing the brilliant world-building they have. The author has never heard of the word "time skip". This could've been an epic adventure of MC as he lives through times and fights different magical beings. Instead, what we get is a kid pretending to be an adult, getting sexually harassed left and right by women who are hundreds of years old.

Ofc, some might argue that MC is a teenager the whole time because author wanted to focus on the game events. To those, I would say that author could've just made MC be born 100 yrs before the events of the game. This way, by the time MC turns into a proper 100 yr old something witcher we would've been able to enjoy the story of an actual experienced witcher as our MC. Along with some romance that actually makes some sense.

Problem 3: So many opportunities were lost for no reason. And sometimes MC's IQ falls to negative values (Please, for the love of god, if you are looking for a novel with a smart MC, RUN AWAY RIGHT NOW). To give a light demonstration: MC heard from a girl that everyone she knows seem to have lost their memories of her brother (including herself. But she had some solid proof that she indeed has a brother). What would u think in such a situation? That there's a chance a magical being is hiding and has removed the memories of these ordinary people about the brother, right? Well. MC's first thought was that "this girl is crazy. How could people start to lose their memories of a person".... For GOD's sake MC. You are literally a witcher whose job is fighting with magical beings. And that's the extent of your brain power when someone tells you of a magical event?

After hours passed and MC tried doing a totally pointless 'investigation', someone suggested to him that maybe a monster with such an ability exists and MC suddenly went "Ohhhh that's SO smart! I never thought that the girl is not crazy and all these events might be the work of a monster!". Spoiler spoiler - it turned out it was indeed the work of a monster. In fact, the description of that monster was inside the MC's book all along. All he had to do was to spend 10 minutes and ask some random person to help him read the book and make sure if such a monster exists. Just that the author needed to increase the word count so he thought making MC waste time and look like a moron is a good idea.

And this is not the only example. The whole novel is filled with such s*upid moments. Just like Mahesvara_'s review mentions, the author likes to make MC act s*upid and dense intentionally when it comes to investigations EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Anyway, ignoring the occasional dumb MC, the first 100 chapters were actually pretty entertaining. Then the novel just began to fall apart. This got worse as we got to chapter ~300. By chapter 400 I was just wondering why tf I'm even reading this snail-paced novel where the author isn't even trying to focus on MC's development. And let us not forget the fun element of s*xual harassment that starts on a consistent basis after chapter 100.

The Author also made sure to show off just how s*upid the story could get with an "oh no MC is freezing. How to save him?" event. Where Coral, a powerful sorcerer, was inside the room with MC. You know how you save MC when he's freezing in such a situation? Of course, you use your powerful magic to create some fire around him and easily warm him and-

oh never mind. Turns out the correct answer is that the sorcerer just forgets she has the ability to use magic. Thus, in such a 'deadly' situation, the only way to help MC is to make him and yourself naked and hug him against his will. Ohhhh so romantic, I'm gonna throw up my food.

Enough with my rant.

See ya

It's a great fan fic novel. I've read some fan fic novels and they were usually terrible, however this one is nice.

for one the MC doesn't become absurdly powerful and claim all the women or loot the protagonist of the game or whatever the fan fic is about would have, he has his own women and loot.

But it is terribly slow paced, where I'm at he's barely finished the Trial of the Grasses. However the side arcs before the real juicy sh*t aren't bad, in fact they're quite interesting.

of course... more>> he does have his system, but where it's at now, it's not too powerful. All it does it stat points/skills and inventory, maybe a little cheat here and there but he needs to kill a lot of monsters to activate the cheats. The requirements for the cheats get higher and higher each time so it's fairly balanced I'd say.

the one bad thing I have to say is that when he goes to become a Witcher, it was fairly cliche. But hell I'm fine with that cliche since witchers are f*cking awesome.

overall it's pretty good where I'm at.

Ngl, this made me replay the Witcher and I don't regret replaying it at all.

11/15 review: holy crap, this novel just gets better and better. The interactions between characters feel so real, they feel in character and how'd you expect them to act in the games and books. <<less

The amount of 5 star review bombs gave me hope for a great novel, but it is overhyped from the Witcher Fandom.

Lots of these reviews give great praise towards the novel. This is due to considering the average fanfic where they either become the main character or someone significant to them within a few chapters, but this novel writes it so that it is like a normal novel, where the MC has foreknowledge of future events, but starts out as a random village boy with no relationship with the main... more>> cast. This creates a chronical arc structure and more organic meetings/interactions.

The reason for my 3 stars is the story writing isn't that great. In the 4 chaps I read, it feeds off some annoying cliches and filler.

All stories have cliches, which you can't get past, but the story shouldn't be forcing one of those Chinese type antagonists where every other Joe forcefully starts a fight and the MC and them argue with pea brains being glossed in the MC's "wits".

The novel so far has been a bit reliant on filler too so far. The pacing is slow (seems to speed up according to other revs) but its not the beneficial type, but filler word count fluff type. The author also somewhat heavily relies on the system more so than other authors for its word count bump. As things that could've been shortened become a full paragraph per system line, though this is to info dump you on what it is, so in future I hope it becomes more normal, as translator also mention [this won't be mentioned again] for gender: Male for example.

I never really got too hard into Witcher game and show, so from a third perspective, I really don't think this is worth a shot unless you are a genuine Witcher fan. According to other reviewers the author does a good job on following its lore and also being unique. <<less

This novel has a breath-taking level of writing detail. The world is vivid and real, the characters breathe and are alive and it is just fun to read. Based on this level of writing I want to give it a 5, but have to settle with a 4, as the latter parts turn into fluff without too much substance.

Imo the turning point is Novigrad, where it devolves into "OMG, I love children!" really fast. (There is the slight suspicion that the author might like children a tad too much.)

None... more>> of the characters have any flaws. You would imagine that a 100+ years old witcher is a bit detached from the world, numb from killing and booze, but instead here everyone is happy playing house. Basically no character does anything evil. No bad blood, no shouting, no jealousy or envy. Just friends :)

Also Roy is a douche, I really don't like him. He is just way too smug about things.

At the time of writing this I have caught up to what is on reaperscans (the free stuff at least).

This is (maybe) my first review so pardon me if I don't get my point across properly.

This is quite possibly the best novel I've read, and definitely the best fanfic I've read. I have yet to play, read, or watch any official Witcher content yet so I believe that was crucial in my love for this.

Regardless I would like to put into question what some of the other reviewers... more>> put on this novel. Somebody claimed that the "romance" element is what put them off, and I'm just really super confused where they got that from at all.

"This includes old ladies mol*sting him, big breasted elves. A lake spirit. And a literal 8 year old?"

Let me dissect this real quick. The "old ladies mol*sting him" I think refers to a sorceress who is pretty damn old, but the thing is they don't have s*x at all. At best they have just a playful relationship, and even at the point I'm at right now they

oh the horror! Anyway the other reviewer also refers to a story of 20 year age gap and in*estuous relation as weird (which yeah duh), but in the story it was supposed to be weird. It's not like somebody just dropped that bomb mid-conversation and nobody went "hey uh-what the f*ck dude?"

Alright now to my actual review.

Good Pacing, Good Character Development, Obviously the author can't kill the main character but there are definitely some moments of crisis that play out very well, and I feel like Roy isn't magically escaping death
Spoiler

save for when he just kinda felt (?) a bolt coming at him, miraculouly caught it, then sensed (?) an assassin directly after

[collapse]
when romance does eventually come into play it isn't overbearing, and the direction the story takes actually does make a lot of sense. Roy kinda just goes with stuff, while doing his best to get as strong as possible (which really isn't that strong).

I don't have much to say I just really like this novel. <<less

This story is absolutely excellent, especially if you have played any of the Witcher games. I have read over 200 chapters in less than a week, and the story has not dropped in quality at all over those chapters. The story really gives me the same heavy grimdark feeling I got when playing the actual game. A lot of the plot follows actual scenes that occurred in the games as well.

Really well done, and they somehow shoved a system in there as well (That only the MC has access to),... more>> and it does not feel too out of place. Oh yes, the translation is also impeccable. Recommended!

Edit: 3 days later and I caught up to chapter 370, the latest. Its still fun to read! <<less

The first 350 chapters are great and then it just nose dives like falling out of a plane. Almost everything changes and it doesn't look like it would get any better. Also, Reaper scans butcher the raws I highly recommend the raws its a lot more digestible and show don't tell

The characters have characteristics, well pre350 afterward they just become voices, and it's pointless. All the characters are just echoes of one another and are just there to point things out it's tiring to read. For example, chapter 10 spoiler:... more>>
Spoiler

Roso, his name in MTL, says in the beginning, that unless I don't acknowledge you, I will continue calling you boy. MC at this point is super strong like possibly the strongest witcher yet and still, he's 'boy'??? it says weak-to-strong tag so you know MC will be strong don't come at me.

[collapse]
And then they turn into actual echoes later on.

The worldbuilding... is not accurate to the worldbuilding of actual witcher books, in terms of discrimination, but that's fine. It's just that if the author did it correctly, it would have introduced proper characters with actual characteristics that would prevent them from turning into echoes.

The plot seems amazing, it's just for 100 chapters after 350 there's nothing relevant to the plot and it seems that it will come up soon but ugh I can't anymore I am taking a break. The book can probably be broken into two separate books at this point that's how irrelevant it seems.

Spoiler

After 350, MC builds up the witcher organization, where everyone turns into echos, they get an orphanage and start recruiting new members and the author has to make sure it is ethically correct but that probably has to do with it being in China with their government but it was still annoying to read. But the author raises a question that just makes me want to rip out my hair that is never answered. What's the point of witchers if there are no more monsters, especially since it looks like few and fewer monsters are showing up? the author addresses it as if it's not a question and they need to protect the Witcher heritage, duh! Again the author doesn't address the question which makes me doubt the existence of the witchers and then spends 100+ chapters trying to build up their existence. It. Is. The Most Frustrating. Thing. To. Read.

Damn, I enjoy this a lot. It may be because I'm a Witcher fan, but still...

The world is great and the author respects it without deviating randomly from the events known from the original lore. He actually goes one step further and incorporates them skillfully into the plot.

The MC is pretty reasonable and his growth is stable, at least up until this point. At the beginning there is something pointless about getting exp from the sun, which was absolutely unnecessary and almost turned me away. Later it is never mentioned... more>> again and not even used, he gets exp from the kills.

The novel is pretty slow-paced and in a good way. It goes into many details, which some reviewers treated as info dumps. I however do not think of them this way. They make the whole world all the more believable and add some more flavour to the story.

Unlike with other novels that happen in made-up games, there aren't any (or many) plot-armor-driven-and-totally-random events that the MC suddenly remembers or comes across which save the MCs ass or are totally convenient for the situation he is in. As this is placed in a real game, the author has no way of doing that. (Don't get my wrong tho, still love the genre)

In short it is a book that is a fan fiction, but doesn't feel like it.

Edit:

The story goes in an... interesting direction let's say.

After a fight he got teleported to skyrim

Its about a dude who dies and gets poof'd into the witcher world. If you've read the books or seen the series or played the games you know what's up. It plays before the war starts, so who knows what kind of things might change in the story, will new sorcerors appear, new witchers, will there be new kings on the thrones, blablabla. Or will everything stay the same except, for that we now explore into the unexplored? I don't know im just at chapter 76 and so far it's... more>> been pretty good. So yeah, try it if you want. <<less

The best novel I've read so far this year. And it's a fanfiction on NU? I'm genuinely surprised.

Okay, so I don't know the Witcher or Elder Scrolls, but I enjoyed the fic regardless. It's magnificent. I never got bored of it, and I started worrying about how many chapters I had left around chapter 300 LOL. Anyways, you can read it with no knowledge, but looking up the wiki helps if you want additional context.

The characters and plot are excellent. For such a large cast, I didn't feel like characters... more>> were ignored, and they were well-written and fleshed out. I felt sad when side characters died.

As for the plot, there wasn't a single dull moment, and I appreciate how the author connected things from before to later events. Combat was interesting. Although the MC got strong quickly, it felt reasonable.

The MC isn't annoying either. He does some silly things, but he's not s*upid thankfully. Worldbuilding's great, but that's... not really the author (fanfic) lol. Still, the author really used Witcher worldbuilding/plot/characters masterfully. The author expands on Witcher's world and takes the plot beyond canon in a creative way.

Also, shoutout for a non-homophobic writer of a CN Male Protag non-BL novel. MC starts off a bit uncomfy/mildly disgusted, but he eventually respects it when he sees the lovers' dedication.

As for cons, I think the romance (at least for the MC and FL) is weak. I forgave it since the novel isn't tagged as romance lol. The FL isn't annoying, but the romance doesn't really add much. They could be very close friends or friends with benefits and the novel wouldn't be really different lol.

Also, the ending is really rushed. It wraps up most things, but you get a little surprised at how sudden the ending is even if you know it ends in a few chapters. It's not a bad ending, but I feel the story could've continued for another couple hundred chapters.

The title is also a bit random, and I think the closest we got to it being referenced was the MC being divine (not a spoiler since it's in the title lol) and him being described as a predator.

Overall, the ending wasn't the best, but I don't regret binging all 637 chapters. There were a few questionable moments (forgave it because fantasy medieval period), but it was a great ride. I'm quite satisfied even though I feel like the author could've written more. <<less
