Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Callius von Jervain.

A character who dies no matter what he does. A character who falls into a forced choice route where he can only die, no matter his choices up to that point. However, there is a single route where the character can live and play the game.

And I have to carve out that route somehow.

Because I’ve become Callius von Jervain in the game.

It’s fun, but you have to turn off your brain and go with it.

It’s one of those MC becomes OP and ends up killing everyone evil with his ultimate lie detector sword. This is after you know, discovering a lost technique, singlehandedly ending a war, and learns ultimate moves like you eat meals.

It’s really good at making the OP MC trope readable. You almost don’t notice the plot armor.

The first few chap was he best first chap i've read in a while, that got my hope up quite abit. After that the story become very generic and predictable. I'll say that although the first arc is the most well written in this whole story. Each character here is unique and feels special but after the first arc alot of the character becomes an empty shell of their former self. Moreover, this arc is the best at dealing with action an consequences, cuz here there's actual stake and a... more>> real chances to lose. Later arc, the consequences is just not there anymore. The dragons and devils which were hype up as a big threat just seems to be pushovers. These either being crushed at the hand of the MC or the destruction they cause just happend elsewhere like the empire or some random country that we dont have a reason to give a f*ck. Alot of things that are matter and setted up as important only to get dumped in the later arc. E.x: His barb talent and the near death skill is only being used in the 1st arc and then it just get yeetted afterward. Still credit where credit is due the power fantasy is still done quite well, the fight are pretty good and the setting are unique and interesting. (The final battle which should be where the twist happend is very anti-climatic so yah kekw) It'll be better if the story telling is handle better because the first arc compare to later arc seems like its from 2 diff story.

Overall 3.7/5 <<less

Really unique story; a breath of fresh air among transmigration novels. It's a slightly dark setting where death is commonplace, but it doesn't feel grimdark or edgy. I love the world building around the religions of the world and their connection to weapons and death. We need more of this.

This novel has quite a dark setting. Brothers of the order are killing others to make each other swords for their use until they get a sword of their own. It is like killing everyone in your path to find your own path; it's quite a grim world. And I like this novel precisely because of this harsh world. Here gods are not beings who do good, and devils are not beings who do bad; everyone is chaotic. A church of evil god can do more good than the official... more>> church in this world, but still it will be hunted down in the name of god, that much chaotic this world is.

Besides this, the protagonist is similar to the one in "The Villain Wants to Live". Both have been transported into somewhat useless characters they modified a bit personally. Both had a female colleague in their company who motivated them to make these changes and are responsible for their transmigration. Both of them have characteristics or debuffs under which they are forced to act under the influence of the emotions of the original characters, and both original characters are nobles who are the epitome of nobels. Still, their efforts are not recognized, leading them to become the shame of their families. Both of the characters are just mirror copies, it is not bad for me, but the author could have made some effort to differentiate them a bit.

Overall, besides some issues here and there, I fully recommend this novel. And this novel is one of the novels which deserves to get an anime and comic. <<less

This story for me is that fast food you snack on occasionally when you want to indulge yourself in the good old grease and the commercial taste.

This story has a premise interesting enough that you can keep coming back for more albeit it's not the most original in the world, but being a fun little distraction is more important.

It doesn't have: the most ambitious world, masterful character writing or the most fashionable writing style, but it's a fun one to read when you are looking for a distraction or something... more>> to scroll through when you are in your bathroom. <<less

I’m rather bad at reviews so I won’t say much, but what I will say is, the story so far is absolutely amazing. From the very start, it has a very dreary yet somehow mystical feel to it, as though the world is completely in gray yet has fantasy elements that intrigue you and want to drag you in. Along with that, it’s very serene most of the time with the slightest feeling of unease. Along with that, the actions scenes, although very intense at times, don’t completely remove the... more>> dreary feel from it either. This next part will be odd, but if I had to choose a color for this series, it would be grey. I can only imagine everything about the world in grey, specifically from the POV of callius, our main character’s, eyes. Speaking of which, our main character is calm, cunning, yet sometimes will make witty and a little bit snarky remarks while overall being a good person, yet not so good he’s foolish enough to sacrifice himself for something unnecessary, and is willing to kill if he must, but isn’t so overboard when it comes to killing he’s edgy. Overall he’s a very balanced character who’s interesting to watch. <<less

I enjoy reading this novel though I understand some people's negative review. The MC is hard to like maybe because he's like a bipolar person. What can he do? It's in his 'character's trait'. Like the MC in TVWTL, the person's rationality is affected. Callius just grow on me. 😅 I'm looking forward to next chapters.

Not exactly the best novel, but I'm giving it 5 stars because at least the author is trying spice up the formula and is putting in the effort. Definitely worthy of more readers, and I hope the translators can pick up the pace too.

This novel is pretty good. Though, sometimes I was confused with the dialoge, like I didn't know who was talking in that conversation. But overall, it's good.

Spoiler

This is just my opinion but I hate the herectic inquisitor so so so much. That Sygid or Whatever kept doubting the MC's ability. It's been 3 years, THREE YEARS since he finally met the MC but look, that arrogant, doubtful, s*upid inquisitor continued to chase after the MC despite that blue-haired girl's testimony. What a cheeky punk! He talked like he knows it all about the MC. 'As if you are the MC himself, huh!'

Anyways, let's stop my 'personal bias' here. This novel is great and promising, recommend for you guys who are still hesitating. 😉

It has everything I ever wanted in a fantasy novel. I began reading it on a whim and blazed through the chapters; until I got to the latest chapter (30 non-MTL as of today), I couldn't put it down. Even read ahead more than 60 chapters through the MTL version out there, which is quite unusual for me.

Strong, proactive MC? Check.

Dark, unforgiving world? Check.

... more>> Original, intriguing concepts? Check.

The character's personalities are well developed. They seem real, and the dialogue is fresh.

MC acts his age and has a charismatic personality. Fights are well written and dynamic. The comedic moments deliver, I found myself chuckling often.

My only misgiving is that it has some Deus Ex Machina situations. Nothing intolerable, though.

Well, well above average for a novel on this website.

People who enjoy gritty and violent dark fantasy worlds; Strong, determined MCs will like this novel. The religious/magic system is pretty original, honestly.

Spoiler

MC has a daughter, and their interactions are endearing. It's a big plus for me. You don't usually see MCs with children/family in this kind of novel, not this early at the very least. As of chapter 91, it's undeniably good; what's even more remarkable is that it managed to be so good despite the atrocious MTL I read.

Read the initial chapters; if you enjoyed them, you will probably like the rest. <<less

Give this 3, 5*

But really, sometimes Korean Novel just turn me off so much. Like so many unnecessary descriptions, which is worse since the novel itself has abysmal descriptions over some stuff that need to be described.

Example:

Spoiler

A carcas with a Darker Blue Blade than before was made.

A Blue Blade like that meant a Lifesword.

The Dark Blue Blade of the Carcas proved this.

Lifesword

[collapse]

Like... That thing doesn't need to be explained over and over when what you mean can be explained in one single sentence.

It's really funny because the fighting scene left me with whats going on. Some things even needed more description to elaborate but it's just three of four words made up sentence, and next.

But I still give this three point five just for the maybe potential to be great. But yeah, I can do with better description overall since it annoys me so much. <<less

It's addicting. Once you started, you can't help but got hook till you are in the latest chapter. I try reading this without knowing the plot, character nor setting so I experience infinite of guesses of who is who, how will the story develop and what is really the story all about. But hey, it's fun.

There is a certain degree of uniqueness compared to cliche settings for Korean novels, and maybe what makes me wants to read more are the cliffhangers. It is not because the translator's fault, instead it... more>> is the original author's intention to keep his readers in edge to see what's next and ended up losing their sleep for more chapters.

The characters are also literally diverse. The side characters have their own persona - tho that doesn't exempt them from the dog eat dog type of world this story have. And I don't know if should give a warning but welp, I don't want spoiling anyone.

So far the story is going well, and the translation is also well-written as for there are addtl. Info provided in the notes so meaning, translator do their research which shows their effort to give a satisfying read for us, freeloaders. The updates might be slow & random, but I'm used to it - it balanced out irl and my free time. I'm saying this to warn those wanted massive updates.

That's it for my review. And yes, this is an edited version of my early review. <<less

Literally binged this so quick. I really like this one and the main character and all the worldbuilding. Author really gave a lot, I think, for worldbuilding, which is something I really like in books. It's a bit strange for me bc I haven't read a book like this before, but I really enjoyed it. The way it was written was/is a bit more introspective (?). There wasn't really a big focus on the scenery or the physical surroundings in the book, but there was a lot in the mind... more>> of the MC, by which I mean, it's less like watching a movie and more like being the character. It's written as though we already know what's around the character because we are the character; we see all his thoughts and observations and his feelings on things. It makes it a little difficult to picture what's happening, but, at the same time, that means it's mostly up to the reader to decide. Idk maybe that's just me. Maybe I just haven't read a lot of different kinds of bc I don't really see people commenting on the way it's been written. Maybe it's not a big thing for other people? <<less

So I have mixed feelings on this one?

The weird enter your own world/videogame/isekai sh*t is kinda used okayish? The main MC isnt a walking talking deus ex machina, its close but not quite horrible. The side characters seem interesting, except for every once and awhile we get stabbed in the face by the author reminding us that everyone are story characters within a story.

This is where my mixed feelings come from. The overall plot is somewhat good, the fantasy setting is off kilter and makes for a war filled world... more>> that isnt totally f'ed.... But the main character tilts from rising action hero to evil video game player trying to maximize his rewards... Which I totally understand. I play rpgs a lot and finding the perfect path, or making the decision that most resonates with me is important... but when the main character does this, it reminds the reader that we arent actually on an adventure. the f'ing MC is playing a video game, with stat screen, weird super power missions and rewards and everything.... and it just destroys the flow and believability.

The entire story should be rewritten as an actual fantasy story, and it wouldnt even be that hard to do so. <<less

I like the setting and world building a-lot which the author put a nice amount of thought into though he does struggle when it comes to building tension and side characters it seems to be improving as the chapters go on. Overall quite a promising novel with a very unique concept.

Quite an enthralling character redemption story. It has some pretty good action mixed well with strong emotional beats, I especially adore the heavy focus on familial love over romantic love. While there is quite a bit of groundwork for a harem I’m hopeful it won’t devolve into that sort of lame wish fulfillment. So long as it keeps going strong like it has I’ll be very very satisfied by it.

Also the protag is a little sh*t at times and I am so here for that energy

I like this novel a lot, the world sitting is quite dark but nonetheless the story itself is entertaining the protagonist is Op some may find it annoying but it all depends on how well the novel is written and in my opinion it's above average the side characters are flat that the only problem concerning me anything else no, I don't think the world building is bad nor the three years time skip anything to fuss over.

I was afraid it was either going to try and be extremely dark but I found that it had quite a good balance. The main character isn't afraid to kill but that isn't an important topic so far unlike other novels which have to remind the viewers every couple of pages. The writing when it comes to the game aspect is similar to tr*sh of the counts court, or the villain wants to live. If you enjoy those but want more violence this is for you.

It's a bit early to judge the novel entirely, but as of now, it's intriguing enough for me to continue. The setting is a dsystopian (?) -like world where killing is common and expected. Like those typical Wuxia novels.

At first, I thought that the MC had a lack of depth in his character and was one of those typical indifferent MC's. That label was quickly proven wrong as the author goes more into his character. I hope this continues and his character development will progress more in the future chapters.

A... more>> great thank you to the translation team! Because of you, I found this gem and held onto it instead of giving it up. I encountered a lot of gems but sadly the translation was not good enough that it dulled them instead of polishing them. So yes, kudos to you <<less

pretty good. Went in expecting a silly and edgy novel but this one is more like the typical g r I m d a r k fantasy stories out there: It has great world-building and interesting enough characters while also being rather cruel and unforgiving. Still, it doesn't manage to escape from a very contrived plot designed to give the MC a couple setbacks while he power-levels, arrogant young masters, and otherwise every sort of korean webnovel trope, which stops it from being a really good novel, something that I... more>> would find on the best-sellers section in a book store, for example.

Overall, it's a great novel though not perfect.

Also, amazing translation effort but just needs a bit more editing and it'd be a perfect 10/10 doesn't matter if it's a MTL. <<less
