Michael must survive a fake world, he and other people from Earth have been teleported to.

Struggling to survive with his weight and fear. Michael must try and figure out the mysteries of this new world he is stuck in.

The other people transported to the empty stone city, the monsters outside, and the mysterious System Store are all threats or opportunities in equal measure.

The Systemic Lands is a Dark Progressive LITRPG. Taking a grittier approach to the survival progression story, when the main character isn't a super athlete ready to go at a moment's notice.

The unique setting moves away from any of the standard tropes of a LITRPG setting and takes on the air of a true mystery. While a slower start as Michael gets his bearings, there is clear progression, stats, and power levels. Avoiding the info dumps of boxes, The Systemic Lands excels at people using knowledge of game mechanics to try and figure out how things work.

    I thought I found something interesting. Well, it was quite disappointing to see how everything progressed since the arc of Ruth’s inclusion.

    Ch 18 impression:

    Novel starts very promising, but the MC instantly becomes exeedingly retarded. He decided to give all the power and intel he owns to a weak guy losing all his advantage. Had to drop the novel instantly. rating 3/10

    He gives away all his advantage: his intel, his safety. Carlos now will grow his organisation enough to pose a threat of ambushing and killing the MC anytime he wants to. By taking advantage of exploitaion he will accumulate points much faster than a single MC can.And the first thing someone in his position would want to to get rid of his strongest competition to obtain complete monopoly. MC went from a stable safe position to an extremely vulnerable situation for no reason whatsoever.

    I hate to put something not related to a specific book on its comments page. But I really want to find a books name.
    1: mc of book has a stone that can help him make his first contract pet, but mc's enemy uses a group to take it and try to kill mc.
    2: mc manages to contract bird while using it to escape the crocodile.
    3: mc finds cave guarded by hundreds of birds. Inside cave is a bloodline fruit that has a storm eagle bloodline that he gives to his bird.
    4: mc has help from his eagle to distract a group of foxes so he can contract one with nine tails bloodline.
    5: I believe the mc also has a system.
    Any help finding this book would be much appreciated.

    The story originally had some serious promise, but man, ever since the ritualist arc the plot has just been an endless series of fights with little to none of the introspection the mc had up to that point. If you like fighting with little rest or recovery in between for the reader, you might enjoy the way the novel turns out. But for me, it was an frustrating read to catch up.

    3/5.

      Nah, there's only 1 system lol. The title is like this is because when designing the system, author did any% Speedrun. World looks like a game made in: "Making an RPG game in Java in 5 hours stream" YouTube video.
      So the name kinda fits.

    this novel has potential but was ruined by author trying to make a villain last longer. THAT would have been good BUT, an obvious solution and denying it is plain asinine. when the ritualist show ups, I already know the solution to this OP villain. that is to FOCUS the points to strengthen the MC !!! isn't that obvious??!! that's why I drop this novel. hayah

    Made a review a while back at Chapter 80, am currently up to date at Chapter 257/XXX and things are definetly different now and imo worse. The majority of it is due to the first antagonist, the Ritualist, but there are some issues which are also mostly due to my preferences, which I will just cover briefly first.

    In my original review I mentioned the "Viewpoint" chapters where you got a bunch of the side characters POVs. Im not a fan of shifting POVs in novels, but these types of chapters were good at the time as they were fairly infrequent, but as the novel has gone on they have just become more and more common. Alongside this, there are 'bonus' chapters which are from the Ritualists' POV. Quite a lot of them are basically the exact same as the normal Chapter, but from his POV instead.

    I.e. 2 chapters back to back of the same fight between Michael and Ritualist, but from each of their POVs.
    It basically just ends up with the majority of the Chapter just copy+pasted of the previous one.

    In regards to these 'bonus chapters' the author, in an Authors Note on Chapter XXX on RR said:

    Imo if the chapters contribute towards the plot and are 'necessary' then they aren't really 'bonus' ones you can ignore.

    The Ritualist is the main issue with this novel imo. Put simply, he has insane levels of plot armor. The first time when Michael and Ritualist meet, there is absolutely no way that Michael would make the mistake he ends up making. We are shown constantly that Michael is aware of all these typical tropes and does his best to not make stupid mistakes and he doesn't care about making a mess or leaving others to clean up after him yet


    MC literally says:

    Right AFTER saying:

    I just don't think Michael is the kind of guy who would not only choose that method, but not even do it himself or check afterwards.

    This type of thing pretty much happens everytime that Michael is close to killing him. Plot armor always rescues the Ritualist. After each of these times Michael always feels he lost and regrets it and swears next time he'll finish it, but that never happens. What makes it worse imo, is that when it comes to the Ritualist POV he ALSO thinks he lost and swears to be stronger and defeat Michael.

    It has gotten to an insane level lately where some random new character has appeared and who, despite his plan being to send the Ritualist off to his death, he ends up helping him to an INSANE degree


    Some comments on RR said that the Ritualist basically has an aura of idiocy around him which affects anyone he comes into contact with, which is very true imo.

    I think if I hadn't kept up with this from early on, I would have dropped it either once the other POV chaps started up, or during the first meeting between the Ritualist and Michael. The main reason I've continued on was due to having interest in the MCs story and sunk cost tbh. But I think it may be time to stop. I am still interested in the MC and the story behind the Systemic Lands, but I'm not sure if that is strong enough to ignore the issues for me anymore.

      The second the mc left the ritualistic to be strangled instead of melting him himself or even atleast cutting his throat or knifing his heart was when I stopped reading. That kind of stupid cannot be read. I mean after he melted random people for stupid reasons, leaving someone who stole most of the city’s cash reserves alive like that was too much.

      I recommend Hitman with a badass system. As Chinese as the title sounds trust me it’s original not translated and edited. It includes Useful female lead, Ruthless mc(i mean really ruthless), smart mc, never spare no one, also he is a villain as the people in the world say
