Project: You have died
by WiseWarrior
- Graphic Violence
- Profanity
A monologue story about a man who died and was reborn in a new world of mysteries and intrigue. Where monsters and magic are common place and gods are plentiful. The story follows his life as fate conspires to bind him to a path which he will eventually struggle to come to terms with.
*** The story is a slow burner inspired by web novels with the main character accounting every action in time. I doubt this style is for everyone ***

A potent mix of realism and lighthearted fantasy.
This novel is worth you time. It may read slightly strange to begin with but that is due to the manner in which the story is told, before long you get used to it. The only thing I don't like about this story is that the MC is a bit too much of an optimistic guy for my tastes, other than that it's damned fine reading.
Keep it up AN! You've created a vibrant world with an interesting cast of characters. Only advice I can give is that that PR we were talking about would elevate the story from a 5/5 to a 6/5 : ) Let me know if you make that disc I'd like to help out.
A great new story
I have read through chapter 47 and I have really enjoyed this story. It is a great litrpg with a slice of life giving you a complete look at what the characters do and I think the author does some solid work giving his characters development and depth. I cant wait to see where this story goes from here.
Flawed but good with potential for greatness!
Starting with the bad things, there are grammar mistakes, there are glaring grammar mistakes even at a rate of several per chapter. The possibly worst I noticed was a repeated use of "for sore" where the proper word was "foresaw" (might say the author has a 'sore' need 'for' an editor), and then there are also misspellings here and misplaced words there with the occasional flat out wrong word.
I've read through worse, the frequency may be something like 5~ majorly noticable mistakes per chapter or something (guesstimate) so it's definitely readable if you can deal with a few grammar mistakes every now and then, like I said not just casual ones but sometimes they are glaring ones.
Then there's the style, the style isn't too different from light novels but there are a few issues with it, there are for example occasional instances of sounds of monsters as "GROARRRRRRR" and then sound effects or actions as *Trip* or *Zip*, then there's an occasional slip into japanese slang (read: weeb stuff). The good thing is that these cases of sloppy writing are kept rather tame, they're not overused like say in Mythical Conquest (oh the horror...), but they're there, and even if individually in the amounts used of each they would barely be worth mentioning, collectively they add up.
So bottom line for quality of the writing itself: Below Avearge.
Which can at least for me be translated to: Easily tolerable, but undesirable.
Needless to say, style and grammar are the story's greatest weak point but hey, it's quite tolerable and I'm sure I'm making it sound worse than it really is, you should try it unless you go bonkers if the writing isn't perfect.
Next up is the actual story, the story has a few problems at the start, the take-off is kinda clunky, but once that's over and done with and mc finds his ass a proper road to walk on things take a turn for the better, and then it just keeps taking more and more good turns until the story is actually keeping me at the edge of my seat by the end of the 41 chapters I have read.
It's a fairly basic litrpg story with a jack-of-all trades MC with a stronger focus on crafting than combat. Also he isn't born a human lawnmower for monsterslaying, he needs to go through training (albeit unrealistically low amounts of it, but training still) the story has a few generic template characters but it also has a surprising amount of non-generic, or lets say 3-dimensional chracters. Maybe that's too much credit, but hey, 2.5D at least :D
The author has some potential as well as he (as in both the author and protagonist) plan the social interactions and politics ahead with a level of cunning that's somewhat rare, and very welcome. It's not really a true genius protagonist, but he seems particularly good with socializing and politics even if he's supposedly not a huge fan of either. Which basically means, that some interactions (especially with important figures) are a bit deeper than the average conversation, powerplays and such. Quite the surprise to be honest, but it really upped the quality of the story in a meaningful way.
I'd also say the story has a perfect mix of action and, well, not action. The pacing (after the first couple of chapters that is) is also impressively good compared to most stories around here, I didn't have to skim particularly much, so bonus points for efficient writing.
While there's indeed a lot that could be improved, overall I really like this story and it's quickly growing into one of my favorites. Needless to say, I do recommend this, at least for those who can tolerate a bunch of grammatical errors in their novels.
Hidden gem!

Advice for author: Get cover, any cover is better than no cover.

A brilliant litrpg style story.
This story is nicely paced and has enough action and plot to keep you reading. I enjoy the themes and the characters all have personality. Worth the read for sure.
There are a couple grammar issues from time to time but they are minor, maybe author-san needs a proof reader but that all, it's 95% perfect. This fiction just popped up out of nowhere so I suppose the releases are unknown so the shedules might be a little jarring.
P.S author, pls make a patreon.
Incredibly Boring but not bad
The story isn't bad, but whats fun about watching a vampire desert elf do nothing but sit and make potions and talk with girls?Even Isekai novels with humans who do nothing but blush and fight are slightly more interesting.
If the MC was some sort of murderer during the nights that'd be cool, but he's not, he also constantly contradicts himself and picks obvious favorites.It's not a bad novel, but its boring and the author tries to make the MC seem smart and truth be told they some times do, but again the MC contradicts himself by acting like a 13 year old with a crush on every girl he sees.
Theirs not enough world development or explanations to be interesting either, we see a fight every once and a while but its not interesting really and the MC doesn't do what a normal person probably would in his situation.
Also, this is ignoring the fact that the slave selling chapter obviously was a wish-granting for the main character.Someone who randomy can tell who a vampire is and identify a sub-species of dark elf?A guard or priest maybe, but not a random girl with very little backstory.
Project: you have failed
A different Reincarnation
I really like the story.
Good characters, interesting plot.
I enjoyed my binge ^^
Good
Im going to agree to disagree with steady who feels that the novel is boring primarily due to the slowness or I guess lack of fighting? Considering Im caught up with the current chapter (which btw has significantly more action in it) I can easily say that the slow beginning was completely worth it due to how fleshed out the characters became. Forget stereotypical we have a mc who actually plans stuff out instead of rushing into action. At the end of the day, you would be missing out if you didn't atleast give this novel a try.
Not my cup of tea
This reads similarly to a (stereotypical) japanese webnovel/light novel, which is hinted at by some Japanese suffixes used by the author. No real goal in sight, the character is just given a lot of power, a lot of responsibility, a lot of convenient happenings. I wouldn't really say there's a plot or any sort of goal so far. It's possible I might have missed it, in which case it means it hasn't left a lasting impression on me. I'm at chapter 25 so far, and the main character hasn't done much. I don't mind a slow pace, but almost nothing has happened. The main character hasn't faced a lot of tough ordeals, and while there were times where he might've died, there wasn't a lot of tension in those instances. He saves an imporant figure, and is suddenly thrust into a position to save a kingdom that he doesn't have a decent reason to like. He has a handful of friends, if you can call them friends, but besides that it feels like the writer is sort of putting the main character in these situations for very flimsy reasons, and expects it to stick. A decent amount of words are spent on building the world, but the world is pretty stereotypical so far. Oh hey, a kingdom with slaves and racist policies, and also there's a family that is trying to start a coup. Oh hey I saved the daughter of the kingdom's general, guess that's my ticket into politics. Oh hey I'm by many means a foreigner but let me just be asked to save the kingdom by the king. I would say this story doesn't fit under any sort of niche, but seeing other reviews that niche seems to be a web novel inspired by Japanese web novels whose strong points are being able to read a story without thinking too hard, and cheering for a protagonist who has immense potential/power.
