This isn't the best novel in this list (See: number 1 spot), but it might be my favourite. This story is about a transmigrator, with levels of knowledge befitting a typical transmigrator. Poor dude knows how to make glass, but shit's been invented a hundred years ago...  This transmigrator has all the benefits of a modern education, and no inexplicable talent besides, and a typical disregard for royal and divine authority. This transmigrator, in a world of gods and demons, does not in any way have levels of power beyond his other peers, sees lives being treated like dirt, and tries to upend the world and start a revolution. There are some cheats (system, undeath)... more>> but amazing changes are mostly driven through a transmigrator's creativity (plus a lawyer's despicableness), and arrogance that one man can change the world. However, the revolution isnt done by killing anyone in his way but with alliances, ideas, and persuasion.

The story isn't particularly realistic, with a trope-awareness and subversion and fourth wall humor everywhere. Apex characters are prone to being goofs once in a while instead of being the cold, callous, holier-than-thou characters from other stories, and the mindless, righteous justice seekers are often used as cannon fodder and the first to die. Within that slight subversiveness is contained a carefully planned and constructed plot line that integrates ethical themes like law and justice, rational (and selfish!) characters, with a slightly whacky world in terms of powers and magical elements. The rationality of its thoughts and ideas show the care and concern with which the author constructs the world, with crazy thick levels of foreshadowing and few plot holes that I could find.

The writing is in a dairy style, which is a fresh take from the regular third-world, all-knowing perspective: Each character in the story has their own schemes and plots and the reader is seeing it unfold at the same pace as the other characters. Deus ex machinas exist, but are acknowledged and even foreshadowed, and characters might have even made preparations beforehand just in case...

The result is funny, mature, glorious, and cohesive within it's world, but might not be for everybody. It is a daring writing style with an amazing result. Readers of works like "Order of the Stick" might find this familiar, and amazing. <<less

Cons:... more>>

MC has a system which is totally, wonderously OP and one of a kind. No one can beat it. Webnovel novel.

Pros:

** MC System powers**

There are severe limitations on the system. For most of MC's growth, the power of the system is limited to the Internet Cafe (basically he cant bring it around to farm arrogant foil characters). The powers afforded by the system are integrated into the world in a complete, integrated way. Most if not all of the powers, random junk, benefits awarded by the system have a place in the story and are rarely neglected.

**Side Characters**

Well fleshed out. Characters introduced at the end are relevant even at the end. New characters introduced find their own place within the world and do not completely replace old characters. One thing I really like: the MC creates a revolution, but he doesn't do it alone. Most of the progression is carried out by side characters who have their own relevance and power in the story. Characters interact with the MC and each other, creating a vibrant society in which the story is rooted.

No romance, absolutely hilarious and worth a read. Final rating: 4.5/5 <<less

Again, the MC is a complete god whose talent trumps everyone else out there. However, the way the story is written gives me a glimpse... more>> into another world, perhaps the world which such a genius might see. It's not all perfect, but the story manages to translate both the good and the bad into a surreal walk through a genius' shoes that gave me a chill when I read it. <<less
