The rating should've been higher. This novel is a hidden gem. There are a lot of things that I like in this novel.

1- Main character: I like the MC (Jo Eushin) a lot. He's a kind of character that everyone can rely on. He's also pretty fun and caring person. He likes the world he's in and is trying to protect it. Edit~ He has a lot of monologues. It is hilarious to see his tolerance for his playable characters.
Spoiler

for example his playable character acts like he has eighth grade syndrome and our MC cringes everytime he hears/sees him but still love him a lot.

[collapse]

2- Side characters: There are a lot of Side characters that I sometimes forget their names (remembering after a while) They have different personalities and abilities. Some are pretty unique. There are weird ones too. I like the fact that we get to know other class students. Like our MC is in year 1 class 0 but we get to know other classes and years and more than that

3- Story: It is pretty good. I literally fell in love with it. I wasn't even a little bored while reading it. It was enjoyable. Story flows like river that I didn't even realize I've read all the chapters available.

I can say a lot of praise words for this novel.

The only bad thing is probably the translation. First chapters are kinda hard to read. You should first read from waffles then you can continue from novelmultiverse so you can get the general idea. Those chapters are a bit hard to read but not unreadable. The New translator does a pretty good job now. I'm satisfied and thankfull to the translator-sama. I've read up to 500 chapter thanks to you ♪

Edit~ I felt like I should say this. Well It might not be entirely correct but this novel also has World building in it. I saw a comment saying that the author keeps cutting the story to explain some things so they just can't read it as a whole. I dissagree w this comment because in my opinion The author-sama deepens the story and helps us understand the world better. Well this novel is not only about action like some others. I can say that It's a bit like TCF. I mean the main focus is the story not the action but worry not bc there is action and I've written a lot again.

This novel is a very strong case of make-or-break translations! When I first read it a while back I ended up dropping it because the translation was just unreadable, which made me sad because I could see it had a lot of potential for me to like it. Thankfully I returned to the page and saw a different translator, Library Key, and their translation is wonderful!

The novel itself is great with the author giving a masterful showing of a highly unreliable narrator, and an almost maddeningly skillful way of giving,... more>> masking, and outright withholding information to the readers. The characters are great, and even the seemingly unimportant side characters play decent roles and come back when you least expect them to. For me, at least, this novel has a good pace that keeps you on the edge of your seat and looking for the next chapter button. Fans of ORV will likely also enjoy this novel. <<less

This novel reeks of crappy webnovel writing.

In a novel where you are regressed into another world with information on what's going to happen, the balancing between precarious situations and everything going the protagonist's way is very important. After all, no one wants to read about a Mary or Gary Sue that is omniscient, saving the day as a hero over and over again.

This novel basically does just that. Our MC is extremely OP right from the beginning, and there are rarely any, if at all situations that make him exert... more>> a lot of effort. He's got the most extensive set of abilities he basically has be ability to do anything. Alright, that's fine if you know, the enemy is also just as OP. Except they aren't. The MC's plans always come to fruition, and nothing ever goes wrong. The events that he predicts always gets thwarted without much effort. There's not really any information gathering, prelude, or worldbuilding that goes into the disastrously events that the MC prevents. It's more like: he knows what's happening, and stops it with his OP abilities and connections with other people.

Ok, but what about the characters? Typical from a novel where the MC knows each character from a game, the MC basically knows the personalities of all of the characters, and thus, it really does feel like he's playing a social simulation game with them rather than interacting with them as equals. Plus, all of the characters LOVE the MC. No one ever questions the MC on how he knows what's going to happen. Even if they did, they just trust him enough that they don't care that he's hiding information. The powerful gods and deities also don't try to get in his way, instead they just help him as much as possible without prying too deeply.

So the end result is that you have the MC preventing a bunch of incidents over and over again with no big story arcs, with a slice of life sim game with the MC knowing the personalities and thoughts of everyone, and NPC characters that put unceasing trust in the MC for no reason.

I know the translation quality jumps, and it's extremely erratic, but that's not the reason the novel is unreadable to me. <<less

Wow, just, very nice! Luv it!

If you likes tr*sh of the Count's Family in a Novel's Extra kind of settings, you may highly probably, definitely like this one too!

MC is a logical, tactful, humble, patient, kind-hearted, observant, thoughtful, meticulous, quick-witted, decisive, farsighted, but also stubborn, and likes to put others over himself kind of person.

... more>>
Spoiler

Ps. I'm on the same opinion as Euishin's junior and fan CSH/CEH on the above points...

[collapse]

He is also a big dog lover & diehard game fan, and as a master chess prodigy + game junkie + top student, he possesses a really high quality brain =creating= a Master Strategist on Cale's level, who's unfortunately also reckless about his own safety and would prioritizes others' safety+happiness, accomplishing the goals with zero casualty policy above his own well-being.

And when he planned for sth, his suspicious smile :) always sold him out to his friends lol.

He always advocate for happy endings for every playable characters of the game with great conviction, bc everyone all literally died throughout the game no matter how meticulously he played and replayed the game. So he was obsessed with this to the point of being a bit self-sacrificing/reckless, and overly vigorous in burning his brain cells to save/help/guide/support those characters he's together with 10 yrs through the screen.

So a lot daily life interaction, and interwoven relationship came to play in addition to many, many side/main/supporting characters and NPCs (known from the game) development to create a situation where Silverlight High will never be isolated and there're helping hands/allies when needed.

I'll tell you, his actions literally saved many people who can be said to have died young without having time to make a splash. Now many says he's humble and polite, and that's why many calls him benefactor so that he knows they're very grateful and willing to help him so just say the words, and not bears everything himself.

You could see the result in the long [Christmas Eve] arc that's called Playerbase Concrete Collapse where even the diehard fans who still hang on due to the characters they likes, to turn their back, cursed and quit the game bc many, I mean many to most characters died, a game with no hopes, no dreams, and despaired all those who preservered.

Now with many he asked for favors and they, willing to help him save those important and innocent lives, he could finally achieved the no casualty and death, he, as a diehard fan, was obsessed with. <<less

Personally, I really like this novel. I am into long intricate novels with a heavy plot and a bunch of fleshed-out side characters. This novel presents that.

The plot is about a man in his late 20s (probably 29) getting transmigrated into the world of a game he played for 10 years. He becomes a freshman in a high school for Players. Players have skills, and some ability unique to them called gwangrim (wuxianxia translates it as light skill. It actually means something like an advent or a visit. The... more>> author describes it as the miracle made by humans). However, it is limited and can only be used for a set amount of time in a day, then it resets at 12 am. The MC can use the Gwangrims of all and only the playable characters in the game, and has a skill to use all weapons and shields, a skill that allows him to contact the Parauniverse (some kind of omnicient entity), and a skill called the Power of Fate. They are all OP, but what makes the story interesting is that they are very limited, and that's why the MC can't just solve everything on his own and needs the help of others.

The start is slow, but once it picks up the pacing becomes good. There is a clear goal and direction to the story. We know who the antagonist is, and what they are trying to do. I like how the author drops hints here and there and then we see the effects of them a hundred chapters later. The slice of life and big events are well-blanced. It is not heavy on action, but I like that because my brain can't keep up with fighting scenes, haha.

The characters are diverse and memorable. Good character development. They each have their time to shine, and it feels like they really have their own lives. The characters are of different species too. There are humans, jins, higher beings, and descendants. I like how they are built as a race, and how the connections between them work.

Spoiler

The MC is very smart. He used to be a prodigy in chess in his previous world, and has a good memory. He plays the role of the strategist in deflecting the hidden mastermind's blows. He was traumatized by the sudden death of his parents and younger brother and sister and became unable to continue playing chess. He is very kind to those he care about and very cold to those who harm them. (Bro was fine with some malicious commenter losing his hand because he hurt his classmate). He usually refuses to include the students in the planning. He sees them as just children and tries to protect them, but that changes 1000 chapters later, haha. It was very frustrating, but I think it was actually driven by his trauma. He was too scared of any little thing happening to them and tried to take on the risk himself instead. It was too excessive to be called normal overprotectiveness.

[collapse]

In short, I really recommend this novel to those with the same preferences as me. It has got plot, characters, mystery, and cute interactions. If you read 100-200 chapters and you're still not hooked then it is probably not for you. I hope this was helpful to you. Thank you for reading up to this point, and have a nice day. <<less

Definitely one of my favorite novels that I have already read. The characters are likeable and have their own story and character development. My favorite character is Jiho. He is funny and one the character that has visible character development.

between the novel extra and omniscient reader view point. I actually like this novel more than novel extra.

Unfortunately, the translation is bad, but get better at around 160 chapters. Waffle has a better early chapter.

This is the first time I have written review, since I see the rating has dropped.

To be honest this is a slow paced novel and normally I don't like it but especially this novel is fantastic, the plot is very beautifully constructed.

Especially the MC oh my gosh Eunshin is the only MC What I want to protect, he's a fresh MC with a very good nature but not naive.

Its a shame that the translation at the beginning wanted to make me nauseous while reading but it was a lot of fun When it comes to the end. Read it if you like an MC who... more>> has the characteristic of sacrificing syndrome, even though sometimes there are slow sessions but it's still fun. <<less

JUST GO READ. 5/5. Although the translation in the middle are kinda bad (would improv later on), but don't give up reading this. Me for example, not regretting going through all these lol.

MC really started as a realiable brother and then... we know this man has the same tendecies as dokja, cale, yoojin, and gongja (sss su*cide y know) sacrificial basta like y know. The "i have to do this so that my (insert protag/playable chara/friend/comp/dll) can be happy/survive"

Dont get me wrong. I love them all.

This novel has many mysterious... more>> plot that we have to unravel. And every character has their own stories? Like literally no one was a side character or cannon fodder. That one kid who provoke MC later will be on his own path not just getting killed suddenly or smth.

Everything started to link and making sense. Although has many character, you can't help but subscon remember them one by one because every chara has important plot.

Spoiler

One I waited the most was his hoobae back in "not game world" stories lol. Cheon sungheon. Like, I though he just a side chara at the prologue and then there was no mention of him but voila. Spoiler, he is actually the silver tiger, someone say that he has yandere vibe lol I kinda get it. Not yandere but obbsesive? Like who the hell chase your hyung by playing hell like game to literally another world with some kind of erorr. If you have a man who love you enough to chase you to another world even it caused him harm, go marry him. I mean immedietly. XD.

The story is really good, however the translation is not.

The names change so many times and the pronouns are all over the place.

Although it gets much better for a few chapters, it goes back to how it was.

... more>> The storyline is interesting. The characters are written well and I'm very curious about the other students in class 1-0. The MC is OP in the sense that he pretty much knows everything that's going to happen and can prevent them. He's smart, except when it comes to Snare he becomes an idiot...

Overall, a 4.5/5 for the plot and 2/5 for the translation. <<less

....I just really like this novel.

1. There are numerous characters I can think of. All of Euishin’s classmates are eased into being introduced, we have 2 out of 16 left.

2. Euishin (MC) plays favorites. Like most people. However.i believe he does it because he spent some time fighting against lung cancer and this game was his will to live.

3. Euishin has Self sacrificing tendencies.

Like.... more>>
Spoiler

Stabing himself in the stomach to take control of a weapon (HJH witnesses this. Or considering stabbing himself to hear the sprirt of said weapon speak at Joo Suhyuk's boat party lol.

Or even giving up sleep and one of the most injuries. Injuring his left eye.

All of the characters who saw Euishin harm himself have a very... interesting... reaction.

[collapse]

This novel approaches transmigration differently. Although Euishin may seem like a basic op MC. He reveals his Identity to people. Or gives hints. The foreshadowing is also done really well.

Honestly. I just really like this novel since it has a slice of life style because Euishin has to not only ensure that his playable character's mental welbeing is good. Their skills as well. <<less

This story is very well written. You can tell that the author has put a lot of thought into the plot, the characters, and even the world. There's a lot of foreshadowing sprinkled throughout the chapters and a small detail casually thrown in at the beginning of the novel can easily become relevant later on.

The main character has a very likable personality as well. He's very considerate and genuinely cares about everyone around him. He's an absolute fan boy to the point where if one of his playable characters stabbed... more>> him, he'd thank them. He's also a bit reckless with his own body and doesn't take that good care of himself, which often brings him into conflict with other characters.

The only downside of this novel is the translation, which really hurts the story. The first 100 or so chapters move between barely legible to completely indecipherable, with character names and pronouns changing 5 times within the same sentence. If you manage to get past it though, the current translator is doing a pretty great job with the translation. <<less

As much as I love this story, the translator is so painful that I wanna cry. For those that want to start reading it, I strongly suggest you to read this without any break or stop especially at the beginning because you won't understand anything with how the term change so often. The writer had graciously add description when one name or term are brought up but it's useless when you don't even remember those that always appear.

Edit: Adding a piece of my thought.

The thing I really love about this... more>> novel was the respect the characters show for each other. The tigers, especially Hwang Jiho, despite being a powerful figure never disrespect Eushin or even question him like any other novel happen with influential figure where MC had to struggle with their arrogant pride.
Spoiler

They respect Eushin as their benefactor and never look down on him despite him being a human, moreover a young student.

[collapse]

Perhaps their arrogance was that they're confident of their evaluation that Eushin is a good person, which is actually true, and had view him as 'interesting'. It's also rare that character like Hwang Jiho to have much character development but in here, as the second person to always show up, his development was admirable for a person so old. He's very flexible. Most character in this novel is very flexible when it come to people they love/respected even though all of them are distinguished people. As what Eushin would say, "as expected of my playable characters and NPCs."

Which make this novel really loveable unlike usual novels where the characters could be very annoying that just want to make me shake my head and wish MC or just anyone to tell them off. The lack of arrogant prick is something but perhaps that's because the first thing Eushin do was to remove these disgusting roots so the school for his beloved playable character to be enjoyable and untainted. Way to go Eushin. <<less

Considering this novel has so many good reviews I thought it would be a mindblowingly good read but no, it's not.

It is certified MID

the flow of the story are all over the place and I'd say the world building (with the way the author writes it) is not captivating me to continue reading. For the reviewer who said this could be as popular as tocf, orv, or the s class I raised, I would like to say get yourself to be a guest in the tr*sh taste podcast because your... more>> take is garbage.

This novel is surely not terrible but just like read something else first, especially since the tl are getting reworked. This is seriously overrated

It's a good novel, the character development isn't only for the MC but the rest as well. I feel satisfied to see the villain get what they deserved.

Actually most novel with no romance in it despite the MC being male is always good.

The translation are confusing but since I'm used to read in MTL, it's tolerable

Extremely good story and the description does not do it justice in my opinion. If I were to give it a shot, it would be something like, MC finds solace while growing up and dying from cancer in a universally reviled game where all of his beloved characters end up dying tragically. Upon beating the game and succumbing to cancer he is given the opportunity to live alongside his beloved characters to try and ensure a fluffy and happy school life for all of them as they fight off otherworld... more>> enemies and traitorous beings from myth and legend.

It is saccharine sweet and the love and care the characters show for each other is incredibly touching.

The only detriment is the vastly different translation qualities. Some translators adapt it more to English and translate Korean names of myths and some locations while others maintain more of the original naming and some go back and forth presumably without a great editor or relying heavily on machine translations. The waffles translator was extremely solid for 40 chapters or so but they were the most adapted to English and I think a lot of people would be lost going from their translation to any of the others I've seen. The Library Key (?) translations was great from what I read, 40-170 or so, but they mostly kept with Korean naming so it got to be a struggle to keep up with some of the names that were very similar as someone who has never taken a Korean lesson. They're overall my pick to read if you have a choice and they have a pretty good pace and I plan to keep up with their translation as I re-read. The wuxia n xanxia (?) translators were the most inconsistent and I switched from them to waffles when the reading became less enjoyable. After 170 and at least through where I am at 290 they're fairly solid and enjoyable to read so I hope that gets maintained from here.

If you understand some basic Korean words (specifically different colors and animal/mythic animal names), I think you'll have a lot more success with the inconsistent translations as they go back and forth between saying things like "Yellow Tiger" and whatever that is in Korean. <<less

About the tenses or grammar, I have no comment, as I read too many MTL just to get my daily dose of good novel. The story itself is one of good ones. It have good world building that is interesting. The plot also good. Though the story follow MC, Jo Eui Shin (some maybe found the name different due to translate problem), it also change POV to other character that MC might or might not know. The plot and character will grow due to various factor not only MC.

Also, I... more>> quite like the redemption and the change to good things that happen to the people around MC. Well, not really redemption, but how people can be good and bad due to a factor or another. How they, themselves, grasp the chance to be better just because of character growth due to their social situations or other factors.

There's also the interesting way how being in the story world can open many unseen plot and conspiration as what happen to MC. As more event is prevented, more and more mystery is seen, which in this story, only make people see that there's something that is happening but they (other character or even MC) don't realize.

While my review seem heavy due to the focus on plot and mystery, in actually, there is quite a lot of slice of life too here. It is especially important too in character growth of people in the story as you can see various people try on their own way to life happily and the happiness they gain in everyday life become their reasons of trying harder and better through the trials of their life. <<less

As for the translations, I'm reading on Library Key Translations and they are really good at translating. Right now, it's really wholesome. We don't know much about the character's personality other than the fact that he want's to save as many people as possible. Somebody said he was like a big brother and I totally agree with that.
