I Am Going To Die (In This Game-Like Dimension)
by HC Mills

When mysterious portals start opening up around the world at large events, swallowing everybody, you’d think that would warrant some kind of danger pay when you have to sell hotdogs at a Comic Con, right? ‘No, of course not; what are the odds of that happening here, out of all the big events in the world?’
Well, Emma was always pretty good at beating the odds when it came to shitty luck.
Now she’s stuck in a strange dimension, where the normal rules don’t seem to apply, together with a costumed crowd who seem strangely happy about this whole thing.
At least, until the first people start dying.

I find the mc kinda vapid
I just read this from chapter 1 to 17, and while the story started out great, it kinda lost it's appeal somewhere in the middle of the 2nd trial. Because I find the trials so stupidly designed, the survivors would be better off learning on their own. I get that the predecessors want to weed people out and only accept the best, but why artificially do this trial shit? If they are so concerned about the resources and stuff, then just let the newcomers arrive in the middle of nowhere and struggle on their own. Instead of artificially making this entire trial complex that clearly isn't well designed.
1st, what is with all the confidential info, and the you only get 5 minutes to ask questions? Your next trial is to go through a toxic area, you have 1 day to prepare, you know, by improving your breathing, but we won't tell you so you will most likely die for no reason at all. Your 2nd trial is an obstacle course, but it is confidential. By the way, here is your 1st trial rewards, which you can use to buy stuff to make your 2nd trial easier, but we won't tell you what it is. So good luck, your new purchase may be completely useless for you lel.
2nd, the trial is too specific for the MC. She is a gymnast, so the entire 2nd trial is basically only something gymnasts and assassins can do. And she even resolves to survive to meet Dave and Iron Man after. Like any normal person will be able to complete the trial without her experiences. But you already know a large percent of the survivors will pass, Dave and Iron Man of course, but also Legolas, Steve, and many other nameless characters. So yeah, she only barely passed because the trial is PERFECT for her, and everyone else will pass because plot armor. And what is with the here you have 24 hours to pass through at least 30 trials, where each one will easily break your bones, and if you do, you have to crawl back to the 1st trial to be healed and start all over. Should just be spiked pits beneath all the trials past the 10th really, like anyone can fail, crawl all the way back, and still pass in the time required. And 24 hours for at least 30 trials, MC already passed out for 6 hours, so 18 hours, assuming each trial takes 10 minutes, and every trial she has to rest for 10 minutes to recover, that is already another 10 hours. And she has already done stuff like this in the real world before this.... only plot armor will save everyone else now.
3rd, why are the trials 1 person at a time? The rest of the 300 guys in the starting room basically have 300 days to get used to the toxic air, they already have a huge advantage over the MC in the 1st trial.
4th, why are the trials so 1 dimensional. Are the people at the end only accepting gymnasts and assassins? There should be many ways to pass the trials based on each person's talents. Weeding people out this way, and this much, the predecessors should be looking to integrate new blood to replenish forces. Get talents. And if they are really cruel enough to kill off 99% of the newcomers, then why not just use them as slaves or resources. If they are so out of resources, why bother making this complex in the 1st place.
- Ok so I realize that everything is just from MC's PoV, and things might not be happening as she is being told. Nevertheless, the points above still stand, only, it should be the MC questioning these stuff. I can't stand how vacuous the MC is being. Despite pointing out she's not a nerd like the rest of the comicon survivors, she sure acts like it, only more brainless. Anyways, aside from the MC, the story is clearly well written and engaging, and I can't wait to find out what the world outside of the trial complex is like. And meet more characters.

A unique take on the litRPG and isekai genres
Being transferred to a game like world is about as generic as you can get these days, but the Author does it in an intelligent and unique way that makes the story very engaging. I can tell a lot of thought was put into the natural laws that make up this new world to make it interesting and for a litRPG system to make sense. It has a nice balance of being alien, magical, and scientific all at once to create a unique atmosphere that I can’t recall having felt before. The author also does a good job at pacing the mysteries and knowledge revealed to us so that it’s not overwhelming yet not frustratingly slow. I highly recommend you give this story a try.

It's...fine? Not good or bad, just fine.
Take the snarky mental AI companion from Prehistoric Barbarian, a cultivation system with new names taped over everything, a pretty generic LitRPG system with prettier than normal windows, add in a dash of murderous intent and cover everything in [REDACTED], no wait, Classified because writing mystery is hard so the answer is just not to answer any questions.
The writing is clean, the MC is bland, the gammar is consistent, and the emotional tone is lacking. It's fine. Not good, or bad. It's fine. Better than a lot of garbage on this site, but not a gem.

Refreshingly different
"I am going to die in this game like dimension" is weird. It matches next to nothing I've really read before. I've read plenty of LitRPGs and comics with Game-elements, yet this feels different. Least of all because it doesn't fit the what you usually think of "Gamers". The MC isn't overpowered (at least not as of chapter 15), things doesn't just roll for the MC, no powerlevelling or having a secret power. The MC toils and fights for every little scrap of survivability in a place that does everything it can to kill.
The only thing it really reminds me of, is "The Tutorial Is Too Hard" but on a harder difficulty.
I'm giving it 4/5 stars only because I feel like it's a bit too short at times, especially for the length between the chapters. But other than that, I really like it.

Solid Read
This story is an interesting take on game mechanics intruding into the world. The main character is relatable and decently fleshed out so far. The story has a solid foundation being laid each chapter in the form of worldbuilding but no major plot points have been revaeled as yet. This slow build is the only reason the character and story scores are not higher. The story simply hasn't progressed far enough yet to earn a higher score. On the other hand the grammar and style have been solid and consistent with no real issues and are fully deserving of top marks.

So-so
The story concept is mildly interesting, got my click. But the execution and characters, combined with the pop culture referential storytelling does get to me. THe biggest issue ended up being the main character. She just feels so apathetic. From when she firsts arrives and gets sliced by what she calls "knife-grass" to nearly dying, to even after she realized she was still alive. Blander than stale wonderbread.
But analogies aside, everything should be just fine, but she just draws it back seriously with how boring she is. I get it's supposed to be "She's the normal one traveling with all the eccentrically pop-culture toting people" but that doesn't help the reading experience. She has no defining traits, therefore I don't really care for her at all.

well thought out
currently at chapter 18 and she just finished the second challenge, i wonder how many people notice how suitable these challenges are given what we know of the world outside
about the first challenge
about the second challenge
the third challenge, what little we know about it so far
personally i like how in depth the world seems despite the fact that the mc hasn't actually been outside just by all the little hints we are given, all the challenges we have yet to see will probably illuminate some other aspects of the world as well
so what other challenges will be baring the mc from the outside? maybe foraging? maybe hunting? humans are social animals so maybe teamwork?

Good book
This was made after chapter 20.
This is a quaint book that has good grammar and a unique style on the litrpg death game. It has a more sci-fi element that has been a bit of a craze these days and does it beautifully. I would definitely recommend reading it.

Безбашенное начало эпических приключений
Я не могу честно оценить грамматику, но это стоит читать, даже с плохим знанием английского. Интересная система с новой интерпритацией мира. Очень харизматичная, живая и безбашенная героиня. История в данных момент даже не раскрыт полностью. Удивительно, но это не надоедает, а хочется читать ещё и ещё. Отличный старт, так держать! Если вы сможете это прочитать ...)))
