Godlike Player in a Game-Like World by GoldenLineage

Good novel but you have to get through a lot before it becomes great. I'm going to break the story down into an A-plot and B-plot since it doesn't really change the status quo until chapter 220 or something like that (whenever he returns to his family).

The A-plot is pretty simple with the MC continuously doing the games or whatever inheritances he can in order to get XP. He's pretty much addicted to these matches. Yes, there is tropes during it where the MC starts naked the first two matches which leads to his team ignoring him but that's fine since he's mainly a solo player and pretty much after the third match, his teammates are unimportant. There is also the trope that the MCs Title is so powerful that it takes 1 million XP in order to level up both his Title and Level(His title allows him to use XP to upgrade his stat points but it only works on the Stamina stat until he levels up the title) so he stays level 1 for a long time. This fixes itself around chapter 274(which btw, is probably one of the best plot twists I've seen in a story in a long ass time) and becomes a lot more normal since it's found out that the System he uses is too weak to accomodate him and he had to get a system upgrade.

Plot-B is that the MC ends up teaching a small group of thugs trying to get by and protect their "family" some skills to protect themselves and they eventually start to become Awakeners because of the training. This leads that small group to eventually start a cult to worship the MC(he knows they think he is their master but doesn't know they are starting to follow him as if he's god). This leads to all of the major groups in the city into the misunderstanding that the MC and this now evergrowing Cult of Awakeners are the disciples of a High-ranker. So pretty much the classic misunderstanding trope.

Honestly, its pretty good with the A-plot being a lot better than the B-plot but like I mentioned earlier, once you get to chapter 220 or whenever he returns to his family, the Plot is thrown upside down and becomes great with the plot twist around chapter 274. I don't like to be that guy who says "Oh, just read 500 chapters because that's when it get's really good" but I'd honestly reccomend getting to that point before dropping.

Being noble, being away from the family, being expelled from the family, not knowing the family, such beginnings are really boring now. I dont recommend shitty novel.

This serie is bad for very simple reasons and no it's no the story or characters it's because nothing happens I mean this serie has right now 208 chapters I can say if you take all the repetitive shit that it has status page explanation of items and such at most the serie would be 50 chapters

Read to Chapter 34. The game part of it is fairly decent but, as with basically all of these types of novels, the real life part is a letdown. Mostly because what happens is just too cliche/annoying/not believable.

We are told at the start that he became an extremely rich and successful Gamer, but pissed people off in the process, including someone who was apparently powerful enough to basically destroy his entire career. He got betrayed by everyone and decided in the end to suicide a truck-kun into that guys car.

Despite that, he is fine with his teammates in the game abandoning him at the start and he later saves them without any apology being made. And then, in the real world, he protects a gang which tried to rob him because the leader was going to sacrifice himself for his brothers. Then he goes back to their gang and, after a meal, offers to be their backer and train them for literally no reason or benefit whatsoever.

His behaviour within the game can be somewhat excused since its clear he's a full-on Gamer within it (not letting go of any Loot or EXP etc.) But becoming the backer of this random gang just because the leader would sacrifice himself for his brothers? If he was a normal/somewhat emotional person, then that could be somewhat believed [though its still a stupid decision to make on his first day in the world without any proper knowledge of pretty much ANYTHING, including his own background, and having only met them for a short time]. But this MC was literally betrayed by everyone in his past life to the point where he, at only 27 years old, bought a truck and did a murder-suicide. Him suddenly believing in people again with this just seems waaaaay too rushed and not at all believable.

There's also typical misunderstandings, arrogant nobles, MC was disowned due to being a vegetable etc.

It's also pretty annoying that he didn't have any reaction to the female noble teammate deciding that the team should abandon him at the start, and that when he was with the gang for the meal some random girl continued to speak out against him for no reason, and continue to do so despite the leader telling her repeatedly to stop and shut up.

Good story. Pretty enjoyable so far.

If the other comments have put you off, I’ll illuminate you all on the MC’s mechanics here


Some cliches, some misunderstandings, interesting worldbuilding and system. MC is former VR champion, so he’s incredibly skilled in all sorts of techniques - which is his main advantage in this new world. He’s smart enough to pick up on the misunderstandings and play them in his favor.

I recommend giving it a shot.

Another Trash On Ranobes List...... People Who Read This Kind Of Novels Is Beyond Me...3rd Chapter Mc Needed 1 Million Exp To Get from Level 1 To 2 ..... Don't Get Me Started On Author Lame Gag Where Mc Starts Naked On Every Game Starting Point....Where People Get Disgusted By Him And He Starts Soloing The Game....Yeah I Gave Up On Chapter 48....... NOWADAYS VRMMORPG And Cultivation Novels Have The Most Boring Annoying And Lame Cliches

Done reading until 189 and i have to say, it is pretty enjoyable.. Didnt see any sexual acts so R18 probably means violence? Or maybe in the future chap?

There is an R18 tag but no supporting R18 tags

Did the author bait the algorithm?

Where are the chps????
