What if one could defy death and, instead of perishing, be reborn?

After suffering from the treachery of Zenith Online's competition and succumbing to his circumstances, Kieran receives an opportunity.

Now reborn, Kieran desires to walk a more refined path of greater impact.

Zenith Online, due to its ability to change humanity, became the object of Kieran's focus. Having been reborn with his knowledge of his former experiences intact, his advantage over his competitors is unfathomable.

The journey to supremacy won't be easy, but Kieran is confident in his skill and driven by unsettled animosity, harbored grudges, and a desire to conquer.

Molding several ungodly, destructive, and ancient abilities, the saga of the player chasing the zenith between worlds begins.

    Overall, it’s okay. Nothing groundbreaking, solid world building, characters are hit or miss, and the story is a mixed bag. If you like the VRMMO genre or liked Shura’s Wrath you’ll probably enjoy this novel. I’d give it a soli 6.5 or 7. Slightly above average for a webnovel.

    I still havent read this but it still bothers me how can a story about VR games and gaming could be so dramatic. I think these authors want to imitate the success of ROTSSG but they end up overdoing it and it becomes so cringey.

        Reincarnation of The Strongest Sword God. It topped ranks back then I think in multiple novel sites and it has a lot of chapters. The plot isnt anything surprising, just repeat plot. The story wasnt the best, far from it but readers couldnt help but read the updates. It was a good revenge story, has drama and redemption. But it wasnt overly dramatic.

      Have you checked out the completed novels on this site? I hardly read anything that isnt either complete or very highly rated and with a consistent release rate. Theres a lot of pretty good complete novels that aren't super popular but are on here

    why is it that EVERY story about vr games the people get powers and abilities, and they have aliens or gods or something who created the game because they are looking for certain people?

      Because otherwise it won't make sense to brake game balance with cheats. Which developer with sane mind allow player to print money by causually crafting legendary weapons, merging mob level animals to god level or giving away buttload of SSS+++ ability as soon as they log in.

      Because otherwise it becomes low-stakes and boring. There's no reason to read about people playing regular old videogames because you can just watch someone stream on twitch or something. Not to mention playing the games yourself.

    Do what ye must, as it is all that can be done

    Fight and survive, for the right to live is for those who won

    Lofty ideals we may wish to carry, but our shoulders are too weak

    It is nought but the living that can march forth to those lofty peaks

    For there is no use in hope to be left with the dead

    They lacked the strength to walk those peaks and even lost their heads.

    I have read up till chapter 338 (latest as of this review). Some of my largest critiques is that the author doesn’t know how to right a character or make character interactions. It’s like a blind person trying to explain how colors look like. The author also fails to keep consistency, with characters personalities doing 180’s and throwing a different stereotype. The worst parts are when they have memes used incorrectly. The story also seems to be going on a path where the Mc offends anyone and everyone other than the weaklings (good people)

    The story is pretty good up till 275ish. The world building might be lacking, and the Mc might not have a personality. The dialogue might be inhumane. But the world in itself is pretty interesting. The powers and the overarching story is good enough to allow you to ignore the fact that the author probably hasn’t spoken to another person in 3 years. Reading this makes you want to know what else had happened in the past, and who and what are the secrets that are referenced.

    5/5 story development
    3/5 writing quality
    3/5 world building
    1/5 character design

    Personal rating: 7/10
    (I tuned out all of the characters speaking and only focused on the story)

    Pros: interesting story and background lore
    Cons: anything related to character development and real world building is awful

      Yep I also basically tune out whatever the characters say and their personalities most of the time. Basically AI acting like they are in a wattpad fanfic.

    Not my cup of tea.
    Mc we have a typical hero. He prefers morality to rationality and logic. He will choose the latter if he is cornered, and he will have such an opportunity.
    (This may change in the future.)
    I also didn't like the ms class itself. (I don't like stupid buffs) Although our mc is not very stupid, but not smart either.
    This is proved by the fact that he knew that he was envied and hated, but at the same time, like a ram, he left everything in place.
    He was lucky that he was able to start over.
    And by the way, what does the R 18 have to do with it? (What was that chapter?)
    Well, you can read the novel and even recommend it.
    3.3/5
    (I give respect for mathematics. There are so many numbers in the novel)

      There is no R-18 scenes till now... what did you mean by "This is proved by the fact that he knew that he was envied and hated, but at the same time, like a ram, he left everything in place."? his past life event? well he isn't that bright Ig but not dumb tho... he doesn't really prefer morality but maybe he is emotional Ig? like If he must choose between helping a friend (especially females) inside the game or gaining some super buffs he will choose the friend (but the author wanna make him like good for his friends ruthless to his enemies) It's quite annoying how much inner thoughts he have especially like (those guys are close to me... this life I have some real friend... I wanna cherish what we have sigh )

        The emotions and behavior of the characters are the problem of this novel.
        Oh, if I'm still writing comments, I want to say.
        1-How are the fights going? Is it normal for all players to see the blood, guts, jelly, heart, lungs, liver, and more that monsters have?
        2-In virtual reality, you can completely undress.
        It definitely means violence. during the fight, you can set the monster on the girl, he will tear her clothes and please the eye... KHM.. Sorry. I believe there is something dark. Rich people can find a person and use blackmail.

            Right! The characters themselves are nothing more than a "picture" in which there is a small description.

        Got to the very cringe worthy part when he talks to the doctors about pain and betrayal. Stopped reading a day ago now debating whether to drop this.

          Actually I felt that the author was kind of contemplating what kind of books he wanna write, now it seems obvious he is going after a long ass book... but there is some nice chapter tho, if you can persiste through the 25ch trial that's it... and skipped some paragraph and just went for the fight scenes... the author use "them, him , that thing, her" yk trying to sound mysterious,hmm what else... whenever he express the thoughts of some side characters he fck up... Those are some annoying sh!t but I somehow read just for fights cuz have nothing else at the moment

    I'm not anywhere near finished only around 80 chapters. The story isn't bad, but you can only read "Gamer dies and restarts his new, OP character." Without figuring out what's going to happen.

    If you like this genre this story is for you.

    That said...I'm here to complain! The story title is Zenith Online...while in the novel its Xenith Online. Also there is the odd formatting sometimes like so

    - Persist the ?Elixir of Destructive Renewal? & ?Ancient Volcanic Ichor? combined effects. 0/1
