An Extra’s POV

For me this was a fun read, I really enjoyed it. The only problem I have is the random jjk references and the random switching of POV's, but other then that the characters are interesting and it's pretty funny.

Read about 369 chapters, and here's what I think: Not bad. It gets better over time. My only complaint is the slow pace of the plot. It seems like I've read far fewer chapters than I actually have. Then there's the world building, which I have to say is definitely the weakest point of the novel. The only things we have are the royal castle, the black market, the royal dungeon, and a few trips outside the capital. For an isekai, I expected more development in this area. The further we go with secondary characters, the less scene they are given, and except for a few, the rest are practically discarded. There are also some filler chapters, but they are few. Otherwise, the novel is okay. Give it a chance. it certainly has its fair share of problems, but as I said, the novel improves over time. That being said, I'll stop here, as this novel is not my cup of tea. Again, the novel isn't great (at least it isn't as far as I've read), but it's not mediocre either.

POISON TEST UNTIL CH 550 : so this story aint very deep and intricate , OP spam , useless HERO even when trying to redo what he did wrong but doesnt realize that even when trying not to affect certain aspects of the past u still will get different future no matter what ( butterfly effect manifested the sec u came back ) , MC absolute runt hinking he some kind of mastermind , while in reality is just a failure of an MC , such person would pale in front of true MCs in other GEM Novels . . .

When an author writes with the intention of publishing (using any publication mechanism), one of the first barriers that must be crossed for wide acceptance of what is written is comparison; it is impossible not to compare this novel with reference works, not only in the same genre but literary works in general. Another obstacle that must be overcome by those offering an opinion on a piece of writing, specifically in this context of works created by novice writers, is that they lack both an editor and a professional translator, the latter being very important and from which many such works suffer. All this introduction establishes a baseline for a critique, which, without adequate context, can produce rejection or confusion about the reasons why it is given. And the truth be told, I think it is important to understand the reason for what I put here this time. The first thing is to start with the text in general. I can't be sure, but it almost seems like a translation, most likely from Mandarin, done by a well-intentioned amateur, someone who also regularly relies on some translation service, and who does not go through an editing process, resulting in many grammatical, spelling, and even conceptual errors in some cases. Something that makes me doubt the translation is that when reviewing the author, there are some elements that lead me to think that the writer is not Oriental, leaving two options: either this person does not write in English natively, which is noticeable in the structure of the paragraphs, the fluency of the narration, and the limited use of the language; or the person's native language is English, but they are very young. There is the possibility that they are a native English speaker with very limited language skills. Whatever the truth is, the problem remains, only the cause shifts, and the consequence is an exhausting read, lacking in expression due to a very limited use of language elements, which reduces fluency; coupled with frequent minor errors, it makes for a heavy read. Regarding the story, I must admit that the premise is interesting, but the overuse of genre archetypes makes it unoriginal: transmigration at the moment of death, a superior being aiding the characters in their transition, a group of teenagers as protagonists, a world wishing to combat an overwhelming evil thus invoking the protagonists, a main character who wants to hide his power, and a long list of elements that have been used so much in similar stories that they can already be called clichés, and the story is basically that, a pastiche of clichés. All these judgment elements make the story a missed opportunity, which is sad because, I must reiterate, the premise is interesting, and the beginning of the novel, though clumsy, is promising, but that is all. The author falls into most of the mistakes of a novice writer and overuses common instruments of a web novel: a good example is the fights; no decent work in fantasy literature extends a fight scene because they do not contribute much to the advancement of the story, as ultimately only the outcome matters, but in the web novel genre, it is something that is insisted upon a lot. In the case of this novel, the length of the fights really gets out of hand; they are used so much that it gives the impression that there is nothing to tell, and they are used to increase the number of chapters, because in the end, the income received is per chapter acquired by readers, a perverse incentive created by the imbalance between the business model and the desire to write. There are elements in the story that, when viewed within the context of other novels published by the same author, make one think that the author reflects themselves in the main character of the story, almost as an effort to live out their own fantasy. The problem with this is that the common elements the author imprints on their characters are socially reprehensible behaviours and attitudes, and in some cases, even dangerous. This is delicate in a literary work aimed at a young audience, inexperienced in the intricacies of reading, and generally unsophisticated, who lack the judgment to detect these positions and might extrapolate the value judgments of the story to real life. I could really continue, but at this point, I think what I have written is sufficient. The novel is a simplistic story, uncreative, and poorly written, with a good, but really wasted opportunity, where the author openly sabotages the different narrative chances he created previously, in what they would like to appear as pursuing tension in the plot, but which does not go beyond tripping up the story.

I didn't enjoyed the novel and dropped it. I read +60 chapters so far. The conversations between other characters feel too unnatural. The author try too hard that mc to be smart. So far is the story boring. The plot idea is a little bit interesting, but it isn't well executed. Out there is a lot of better novels worth to read it and this novel isn't worth to read in my opinion. The writing style is bad. Idk if the other novel of the author are better. I hope my review could help.

Honestly very bad writing and the mc is very dumb, waste of time if you ask me, idk why this has a high rating but it doesn’t deserve it at all

It progressed good in the beginning but i felt more and more confused in some chapters. But eventually i got the hang of whats going on. Still a good novel and I got hooked, because im really curious how it will go. I would recommend to give it a shot and read.

This novel can only get a solid 3 points. Mc's character is not very natural and creates a feeling of incongruity. The side characters are a bit two-dimensional and I didn't exactly feel like they played an important role in this story. This novel is completely like a fast food meal.

WTF I read it 'till 200+ and what i can say is that this novel have a sh*t romance. What a p*rv*rt mc who can't control himself infont of a beautiful woman🤮, he even have the audacity to compare and flirt with the other girls while knowing he is inlove with the FL. such a shallow love 🤮 WHAT A HATEFUL MAN. PS. 'No Harem' is a FALSE TAG. Sl*t MC who kept on hoarding women while the FL is in a coma. (650+chapter)

Author's descriptions of women make them seem borderline incel and the story has a constant hint of cringe creeping around every corner. The main character gets less back story than the side characters, hides his powers for reasons that could only justify themselves hundreds of chapters in, and for some reason is more mature than the "Hero" that has regressed before. Honestly the story is lower-mid in overall quality. I don't understand how it climbed to the rank it did
