I have really enjoyed this novel so far and I am looking forward to more chapters. I have read up to chapter 197 and really just want the chapter to come out quicker. The main character starts off overpowered since he has his strength from his previous system and experience while training in the void. However at a certain point that no longer increases exponentially and he still has to work strong in order to continue to improve. However he is way overpowered compared to anyone at the same level, I honestly don’t mind that because in the novel the focus isn’t him becoming stronger. He is just focusing on trying to make his own slice of life and enjoy life, at the same time he wants to be strong enough where he can protect himself and his friends.
I really enjoyed Derek, who is the main character throughout the novel. He starts off as a loner who has been isolated for an unknown amount of time. He was alone and lonely for so long that he even tried to kill himself however because of his skills his vitality was stronger then the damage he could do to himself. Therefore it was impossible to kill himself and his vitality made it so he didn’t have to eat or drink. He started off with zero social skills where he scared anyone he interacted with. And didn’t really care about the people around him. To someone who wanted to protect his friends and valued his relationships more than pretty much anything else.
All of the side characters that are introduced in the novel help the MC figure out who he wants to be and grow as a person. He takes on the apprentice on a whim out of some guilt and realizes that he cares for this kid and wants to push him in the right direction even though he is just a normal kid. He helps out a little girl and her mom out of guilt and because he is hoping to use their skills to help him and realizes it gives him a place that feels like home. This continues throughout the story bringing in new character’s into the story that add more depth to the story.
I really enjoyed the story, it’s a combination of a slice of life novel that still includes dungeons and fighting. The MC is overpowered but still has to work hard in order to stay overpowered. I am going to give the novel 5 stars. I really like all the characters and story and am looking forward to more chapters.
