Very typical. MC is a genius fighter and always challenges himself. Expected someone crazy, throwing his life away at every chance he gets, but it’s just some hard fights. The curses are novel, but hard to keep track off.Ch 116/99
The plot moved at a leisurely pace for me. It didn't have to be established right away, but it did pique the interest of those who were attracted by the trope. As I continued to read the novel, I became aware that the MC's backstory was slightly off with his personality. And, given that it is his story, I believe the author is well-versed in it. So, reinforcing that point, I believe the author will go into greater detail about the narrative and the MC. And I believe there will be some growth in him, given he was once a mage and now wishes to become a cultivator for personal reasons. Of course, I suspect there will be a significant plot here, and I am hoping for it.
Obligatory shameless author moment! ?Reviewing your own book is kind'a awkward, so I’ll keep it simple. If you’ve got any questions, feel free to ask in the comments!"What’s this book about?"A programmer wakes up in a brutal, game-like world where survival is the only rule. No respawns, no tutorials—just instincts and grit."Will he be overpowered?"Not really. He’ll get stronger, but every fight is a struggle. No one-shotting bosses here."Will he really be alone the whole series?"Guess you’ll have to read to find out. ?
I want to remind everyone who is reading this book.A newer, higher-quality version of GINKEN is available. It can be found on Webnovel with the working title GINKEN: Ember in the Storm.Most people would consider the new edition to be a brand-new entry in the series. It follows a sequence of events and improves some of the awful quality. I would suggest giving anime a shot if you share my enthusiasm in it. (Note: The early arcs are really an embellishment; the story actually begins at Golden Wasakona.)I appreciate the people who stand with me.
Honestly, the novel is pretty good plot wise and MC is also not braindead, I like this type of smart calculating MC who knows how to act. The intermissions between acting scenarios are quite boring though. And what's worse.. the enemies follow the young master syndrome, there's not even one random enemy. The first enemy is an old enemy from real world, the second enemy is HIS MOM, and the third scenario's enemy IS HER GUILDMATE. Like WTH is the author memeing it? He destroyed his own plot with this b*llsh*t.
