- gamer MC? Check
- MC surrounded by beauties? Check
- cheat abilities? Check. WAY TOO MANY of them.
- "powerful grandpa" type of existence helping him? Check. And again, not just 1. The list of cliche tropes could go on and on. I was quite excited when I just started reading the story because the premise was interesting: there aren't many novels focusing on Norse mythology. But I guess I was a fool to let myself hope. This novel can be summarized in the following sentence: "Whenever a bad thing happens, the MC rides on some woman to save the day." I should also mention it for those that have not realized it by now - this will surely become a harem. There is no way this will end up as a OTP. Mark my words
it is the blessing of his goddess

- Safe, orthodox writing
It's weird how a novel I rate this low wouldn't actually have much hair-pulling moments. VS is written in such a way where the author is so afraid of going off the tangent, where tropes and cliches are so orthodox from start to finish. But unfortunately, that in itself is a double-edged sword. By inducing an extremely safe and methodical writing style, the author brought upon extreme dullness; which I'll talk about for my next point.-
- Machine made trope inducer - Zero creative writing whatsoever
All the tropes and cliches you can think of, all the standard story progression you can think of, each and every one of them is crammed into the box of the most basic WN format. You are peering into the box which you have full knowledge of, thinking, maybe hoping, that the author's pen will fly out, surprising you, bringing out curiosity and enjoyment from you... But alas, the pen stays inside for the entirety of the novel.-
- Fight scenes & massive plot armor
Very unfortunate. I still vividly remember the first fight MC had with the gnoll chief. A mix of strategy, tactics, quick-wittedness and the good ol' shounen guts. I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed it, as it made a very good and lasting first impression. Come 3rd arc or so, and the author doesn't give a f*ck anymore. Fights are started with MC who shouldn't be having ANY business with fighting, losing terribly until midway through, gains the mystical thing known as plot armor, turns a complete 180 degrees and beats the sh*t out of the enemy with said plot armor, flies high up into the air while riding his dragon-waifu, nose dives down at ludicrous speed, autistic screeching ensues, and shouts the same goddamn charge move every single time which I somehow forgot because of how much I almost fell asleep every time. I hope I am joking when I said "every single time", but no. Ever since MC got the nose dive charge skill, almost every single boss fight ended like that. The only time he doesn't use that skill is when his mounts aren't with him. I saw the Shounen tag and knew what I was getting into. I've read One Piece, Naruto and Bleach, so I'm familiar with it and don't really have a problem with it. I went into VS with the expectation that it will be plot armor heavy, but this novel STILL surpassed it, 3 (three) times over!! Changing the Shounen tag to Deus ex machina wouldn't be far-fetched.-
- Antagonists/goal of antagonists
tr*sh. I can only think of a decent one, but the rest are tr*sh. I wanted to call them one dimensional, but its an insult to one dimensional cardboard cutout characters. You wanna know what their goal is? Hear me out, it's technically a minor spoiler, but even the most stringent non-spoiler people won't care about it. To destroy the world because... they are beings that have to destroy the world. They are born that way, that's the only thing they are alive for and do until their end. You say I'm making it much worse than what it was? No. That is unironically their one and only goal, with no other motives whatsoever. Conquer the world and rule the peasants? For power? Greed? No. It's because they're born that way. All the way up to the final boss. Author taking the easy way out, by having the antagonists BE that way. Boring. There's also a problem with antagonists introduction during the latter part of the novel. Author effortlessly introduces mythological characters from the hindu/mayan/middle east mythologies out of his ass like nobodies' business and expects people to turn a blind eye to... Major antagonists with not much introductions. Lazy.-
- Side characters
The side characters who are close to MC are okay. Given how boring this novel is, I'm surprised there are some semblance of development. But the others? Like this novel, they are bland. Nothing much to say.-
- Translations
Dogshit. Machine translated with some bad editing. Off the top of my head, its quite bad even from the beginning (3/10). Around the middle its a mixed bag of decently edited (7/10) to crap that's close to google translate (1/10). From middle to ending its about a (4/10). So if bad translations is you pet peeve, as of writing this review, VS as a whole has dogsh*t translation/editing. (3/10) ---- If you look at VS as a whole, and compare it to the basic tropes and cliches of WN on the market, it actually doesn't have much problems. But that is only because the author took what has been done and tested, and completely absorbs it into writing VS. That in itself is NOT a problem especially on the over-saturated WN market. One of my most favourite WN, Everyone Else is a Returnee, is full of cliches. Hell, even Toika the author is a cliche/tropes inducing machine. There are some of his novels that I don't like, but the ones that work (EER), works solely because it has soul. I sound s*upid by saying that, but that's the truth. If you don't discern your work with at least some creative thinking from the most basic of tropes, you will get a soulless second-hand book that is unoriginal, uninspired, uninventive and unimaginative. To give you a perspective of how boring VS is, I recently completed a novel (Castle of Black Iron, which I reviewed) that is 2000 chapters long in 3 months, and it took me 3 WHOLE MONTHS to complete this novel of 300 chapters from stopping after every 5 chapters from the sheer boredom. In essence, I could picture newcomers to web novels and younger readers find VS decent. But battle hardened veterans who have been through the flames of war of the battlefield of crappy web novels, bullets of tropes whizzing past your cheeks and artillery shells of cliches dropping from the sky would find this novel... the exact same battlefield. If you're going on a battlefield anyway, why not go for something new; an interstellar space war or something. You've already experienced it when you were just a fresh out of training private years ago, no need to experience it again. TL;DR: Boring as sh*t if you're a seasoned WN reader. 2/5 3.7/10- Fights are always the same. It took me a while to truly accept that but there was no tension from v20 onward.
- Most characters are the same honorable warriors, which is a synonym for s*upid. It's not surprising that Asgard is losing Ragnarok. In fact, those daft f*ckers should have lost a long time ago. The few exceptions are defined by one character trade.
- A very wired harem. Really, just so strange. I don't get it at all. MC is supposed to be in love and the women also have no business being interested in MC. Very forced and useless.
- Remember the interesting premise? Good, because the author didn't.
- Nobody cares about plot holes, it is a lightnovel. But still, how do you f*ck up something you introduced one chapter ago? Or even, in the same bloody chapter?! The amount of contradictions is impressive.
- MC interacts way above his pay-grade all the time. He's like a Microsoft intern getting coached by bill gates.
I read a few chapters every evening. This novel made me stop for a few days. Should have droped it way earlier.
