First thing first, I'm quite flabbergasted by the person who gives this novel a one-star rating even though there are only three chapters out currently.

I have been following the story since yesterday and, should I say, I quite like the plot. At first, when I read the earlier chapters, I thought that the story looked the same as LCF (Lout of the Count's Family), and I was concerned if this story would be labeled or said to be 'following' LCF, but fortunately, they are not the same. And I'm satisfied.

The... more>> Main Character is a person named Jeong Ji-Hyeon from Korea, getting into the hidden route of the game that he has been playing for a whole month. He doesn't like the game that much, but because of his personality, that is; 'Once started something, finish it to the end.' He cannot just go past the game and act like he's never gotten into it, so he played it like there's no tomorrow and cleared the game within a month.

He had a system and a god who would frequently talk to him in his mind. I really like the God Kyros because he was soo cuteeee, like a newborn baby god (lmao). I mean, he's dignified, sure. But, his cuteness overflows more than his charm as a god, even his incarnation is SO FRICKIN CUTE OMG

*COUGH*........ Anyway–

The way to get out of the game world (?) is for him to clear the main mission, (main quest), and that is for him to spread Kyrosism (Kyros Religion) through the world, moving on from a low-grade cult onto a legitimate Religion and driving out the demon Deigo (the God of Deigo Religion), within three years.

The beginning is quite good, the pace is not too fast nor too slow, well, for me at least.

Levlov Holden (the body owner our protagonist possessed), has a disease called "Molrone's Disease", a disease that has not yet been found the cure for its treatment. This disease is caused by a parasitic creature resembling a worm inside the body of the original owner, leading him to faint frequently from the pain and coughing up a large chunk of blood. But don't worry, as it won't be long before our protagonist treats this disease, since he already found a way to cure it, and that is through the knowledge found in the game.

Within the range of the chapters that I had read, the disease has been cured. And the protagonist is on his way to go to another Kingdom, to spread Kyros Religion, and find more followers.

I cannot say more other than these, since the rest would be spoilers :')

I hope you can decide on your own whether you will read this story or not. And wait for more chapters to come before foolishly giving a rating to this story. Or, you can climb up the wall like me and read it raw.

Well, that's all I wanted to say. Hope you have a nice day~!! <3 <<less

Plotwise it isn't that bad albeit generic and predictable, but there's too much bl baiting for a story that isn't actually bl. Gets annoying real quick.

Also, I don't mind mtl if it's well-edited, but I find the translator rather shameless for paywalling chapters when they can't even bother to edit the most glaring, basic mistakes. Often in one chapter you'd get two to three different spellings for various character names, and some words are left as romanized korean that I don't even know what they're referring to.

I like it so far. The character's personalities are very cute and the plot is simple and easy to follow. I don't really think it's similar to TCF this novel has it's own storyline. Besides the constant name changing in the translations it's smooth to read.

Comedy is five stars. I love Zain and Revelof's interactions also can't wait to see more Terdius and Revelof interact more (⪰∇⪯) (Terdius is such a tsundere)

It's not BL just really fruity

I love seeing a new transmigration plot. It's always characters transmigrating... more>> into a book so I find the idea of transmigrating into a game interesting. It's also interesting that the hidden route of the game is different from what the MC was used to such as Terdius not being apart of Kyros Faith. Also the whole novel being about two conflicting religions is something I've never seen making it 100x more interesting I sadly sit impatiently waiting for new chapters.

The only bad thing about the novel is that everything seems way too easy for the MC. When he get skills from the gacha he is always getting something good and even in tight situations the author doesn't really convey a sense of danger for us readers. So any fight scene feels bland in my opinion. Maybe that'll change in the future chapters *shrug* <<less

I like it so far, although the world and the MC himself seems a bit... too naive?

I remember in chapter 7,

... more>>
Spoiler

the MC started curing the drug users in a slum called Rovel using mandrake roots, and when he cured the first batch of people, he left the bag of mandrake roots to some old man and told him to share it with the other infected, since the drug was more similar to poison than anything. I honestly feel like it's... very naive to think there's no one who a.) Wouldn't try to steal the bag for themselves, b.) Wouldn't try to steal the bag to sell to the ones infected so they can earn a profit, or c.) That the old man would even share the bag with others. I don't want to sound discriminatory, but it's the slums. People aren't the most virtuous there, and they can't be, to survive. I'll write it off as MC got lucky and the old man was nice and shared the bag, and that nobody tried stealing the bag for now, but it just seems too idealistic.

And also, the evil god Diego is a dictator, but apparently lets off small religions even though he's oppressive and calls other religions heretical? But apparently that's the reason the MC survived after getting threatened by Terdius... because he's part of a small religion? I guess it does make sense that Diego can be a dictator god and still keep small religions alive, but still. Seems a bit plot armory

[collapse]

Edit: as of now, dropped because

Spoiler

Story and MC is too naive for me to want to continue. I can turn off my brain for some parts of it, but I couldn't ignore it entirely. The MC is very lucky and gets basically god level items pretty easily and all the time. When he had a random ticket for some gacha thing, he instantly got 2 level S angels that basically can work for him.... and I don't even know where those angels come from. I think it'd be a much cooler concept if he got those angels himself, maybe by converting a person into an angel being after they die or something rather than angels that just suddenly materialize out of thin air and add to the believer count for some reason.

Also, I guess it's too childish for me too. The angels who are in the form of children and the god basically act like kids. And the plot itself is a little too childish for me.

MC is too lucky and doesn't really have situations where it feels like he's actually going to die. No real tension, no hard battles to be honest. Maybe it's just because I only read up to 25, but I don't think I'll go on any further because reading up to this point was already a battle with my incredulousness

This novel is enjoyable, suitable for light reading. At first I was reluctant to read this because of the romantic subplot tag. I thought that there would be a heroine, but after I read, there's none, the main character just focus on his goal, and I love the interaction between character. Well that's for my review, happy reading.

I'm genuinely impressed by the plot formula this story has. It has the generic plot of your usual transmigration story of the MC fixing things the best he can while maintaining a weird pop idol theme in the form of religious worship. Like, MC is the star with his God sidekick.

It all of it works! I want to read more!!

But the thing that's kind of throwing me off is that it's also reading as a slow burn BL. But there's no indication of romance anywhere. But the way some of... more>> the characters act are also suspicious in a way that makes me admire the subtly if there is.

But there's also no tags indicating BL or romances??? But the tags themselves write otherwise.

5 stars and I can't wait for the updates. <<less

Giving it 5 stars because reading it up to ch45 genuinely made me happy. No complaints about characterization or very obvious plot holes so far. The deus ex machina moments can be comfortably ignored as well. Translation is great! There are some chapters where the spelling of the names changes but it doesn’t take away from the immersion of reading.

Like what the previous comment said, it does start off pretty similar with TCF. But it becomes its own as the story progresses. Which means, if you like TCF then you’ll... more>> definitely find the potential in this one. <<less

So far so good. I like that the story is well-balanced. One thing I dislike is the MC is too indifferent toward his family eventhough he is already adapting well in the new world. He said he is grateful but he always reject revelof mother and brother. But then again he might think he is not worth it and feel sorry because he is not the real revelof but it's too slow in term of his feeling about relationship. He should try to be more accepting instead of pushing everyone... more>> away. He is only soft to kyros and the children. <<less
