Preliminary review. Still at chapter 17 (latest release as of time of review).

A straight up power fantasy. No complications here. MC has skills that say they give bonus loot at a 10% chance and all. And naturally, he rolls that 10% at every meaningful moment.

Power fantasy isn't inherently a bad thing. I at least like it and want to read more. But I can see many readers being disgusted by how "lucky" the MC is at times. Even I have already found myself rolling my eyes and deadpanning "really?" at some parts already.

One good thing is that there hasn't been any big info dumps so far beyond just establishing the setting.

Another good thing about this story though is that despite being a 'regression to become strongest in the game' type of story, so far, there hasn't been any "I remember that if you do a pirouette here, do a handstand there, intentionally fail this puzzle this way, then a hidden piece will be unlocked" kind of crap. I always hated those BS things in other game regression stories.

Here, though the MC knows the future, only hints have been dropped so far. Though he has been making full use of his knowledge of how everything works for early benefits.

However, it is worth noting that it's only been a few hours in the world yet as of chapter 17. As such, this review might need to be changed depending on how it goes.

For now, I like it and I'll continue reading.

There is some extreme racism against them in this novel. Oh, the characters themselves aren't all that racist. But the author sure is. There are parts where all black people in general are referred to as Africans (even they themselves calling themselves that), calls all Africans and black people as "beasts", has all the black players join together and form trouble-causing guilds, has the black characters commit crimes and generally disrupt public order with not even a single one of them being a decent person, has all black players in an area be hunted like rats repeatedly for aforementioned behavior, has a human rights activist be betrayed by the "beastly" people she was helping (the activist herself wasn't a good person so this is a bit more complicated), etc.

The MC's enemies in this novel do not escape. There's none of that escaping by the skin of their teeth and vowing revenge on MC type of nonsense. Once MC targets someone, he doggedly pursues them until they're permanently neutralized.

She suffers. Not via death. But she suffers. She suffers so much that I actually started feeling pity for her. Until I realized that her attitude towards her (so far presumed dead) brother has still not changed very much.
