Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.“The son of god Gula has returned.”
I was lost in the world of gambling.
I turned my back on my family and even betrayed my lover.
I wasted every day of my life.
It was a life of tr*sh.
The reality told me thus:
That I would amount to nothing no matter what I did.
In order to change my pathetic life, I chose fantasy, instead.
Even then, it was the same story.
I wondered if salvation would come at the end of the long road.
But, I was forced to kneel down in defeat in front of a powerful entity.
The tower I built up with my own hands crumbled into nothingness.
Just for once, I dearly wished to know the truth about myself.
“Come closer, my child…”
I will not hold back this time.

I was curious to see how it would evolve.
Well, what a disappointment. 55 chapters later, MC is now a perfect JP MC. Dumb, thick plot armor, a woman magnet and righteous. A complete shift in just 55 chapters. What a joke.
I read it in raw two times from middle chapter around 200 ish both using Google Translate and Papago Naver Translator and they complimenting each other well. It's like reading 2 score below a manually translated, except that WuxiaWorld and translator team had done a 10 score job so MTL I use doing a 7-8 score. It is that good. Anyway on the review.....
Plot : In my opinion it is the biggest strength and also it is weakness. Story was well done up until the
MC investigating the Earthling who cooperate with the Parasite/Alien. Why he is not using his eye power more I do not understand, it is false drama created and kind of cheap when things could be done better when he is using his eye as a guide or a pointer if you will. This one is
Epilogue/sidestories too is mediocre with things dragged on for some quite chapter. The conclusion for the FMC to decide things could be done much earlier and Seol indecision to man up when when he already knew the answer. The Ending itself are good you know, it is just that the execution of it are rather lacking and kind of make you feel less satisfied and hoping there's more to it than just what is presented.
It falls to MC to save the day and the other cast kind of do not had enough action that make them seem like doing their part too.
- Story: The story is kind of similar to jp novels where 'players' are summoned to another world to fend of 'demon king'. Its the same here, where periodically bunch of people are secretly 'invited' to a different world called 'Paradise or Lost Paradise' to fend off against invasion of Parasite race (which is also apparently from a different planet/plane). The story is run of the mill, however, the author has cleverly inserted a few interesting twists which makes the novel very interesting. For instance, the author makes it a point to explicitly point out that most of the summoned humans considering paradise as a game (with game elements and leveling up) and explores its impact on the world. In addition, the humans actually have freedom to go back to earth to rest/relax whenever they want (albeit paying a small fee) and come back and farm/level up in the paradise. This aspect is also explored from a interesting angle where many people (including our MC) suffers from dissociative identity crisis (where he gradually starts dissociating from earth, his home and starts considering Paradise as his home). Overall there is definitely an interesting story to be had here.
- Level System: The progression in the novel is simple - between level 1 and level 9 (i suppose, there may be level 10 as well, only time will tell). I would definitely call this a fast cultivation novel and this makes the reading more interesting as MC cultivation is fast paced but does not feel too fast paced.
- Characters: This is one of the aspects where the novel does shine a bit. There are several interesting characters introduced through the course of 200 chaps I have read and author has gone to some lengths atleast to provide some back story to key side characters and love interests of the MC.
- MC : This is one of the aspects, where I think there are some incongruities in the novel. The MC's love for paradise is fine. But a lot of his actions just seem contrary to his character trait that MC himself emphasizes again and again (I am no saint.... then proceeds to save some person whom he does not know at all and this happens quite often). This over righteousness tendencies are bit too much sometimes and break the immersion and this breaks my perception of what kind of a person the MC is.
- Pacing: Pacing of the novel is fast paced (atleast as compared to chinese LNs)
Opinion: If you like a fast paced novel then go ahead. Overall, it is a decent novel. Nothing really stands out overall, but author has at-least gone to some lengths to separate it from usual tropes to some extent.-
- Quite good harem potential (if you are into it)
Why not to read?-
- Sometimes you will mix up dialogues but reading few sentence below you will get the idea who suppose to tell those dialogues. (I often mix up them, you will understand once you read it)
[Edited :It actually ends with in 500 chapters not like typical Chinese novels as long as 5000 chapters with out any proper stories ]
