The story about the reader, the protagonist and the writer. This novel had many heartbreaking, amazing and funny moments. It has been a while since I have read something that good. Truly, a masterpiece.

Dude, it's SO GOOD. Like you won't ever regret reading this novel. The whole idea is interesting and unique. Like I know that there are many other Korean novels where they suddenly appear in an apocoplypse and they know more information than others and now they're OP or something. But in here, he's not that OP. There are stronger opponents and as he starts changing the events to his liking, the future isn't that foreseeable anymore. Also, the protagonist doesn't just grind and mine relics and weapons throughout the whole novel for just the aimless purpose of being "stronger". No, he has a clear goal and the author isn't over-detailed and describes it enough. Also, sometimes the protagonist knows the information and knows what to do but the author doesn't just tell us what he's going to do so it's more exciting to read about what he's going to do. Lol sorry, I didn't know how to phrase that. Also, the other characters are well developed too, and have character development. They're strong and don't just rely on the protagonist and aren t the typical "Master!Help me!" lol. It has some occasional humor which is great but the author can also make you feel really sad. The pacing of events is awesome and it was just so fluid except in one place. The translator changed after like 360 chapters and a lot of people were angry/annoyed about that since they changed the Romanji of the character's names which messed with our memory. Especially fables ugh. However, you can download a chrome extension called Interactive Fics. This can change the names of it. But, the second translator's work was better and she translated it better so the solution is to just use Interactive Fics and you'll be left with the same names and better quality of translations. The ending was kinda confusing but I still enjoyed it. Also, if you don't want to spend money here or don't want to wait to get your FastPass, you can read it on other sites. I personally read it on wuxia world where an audience of generally 20 people commented and 50 people rated it each chapter. Overall, this novel is just so good and it's my favorite Korean novel currently. I re-read it sometimes and it's still good. I would 10/10 recommend it. Ooh also, a lot of dumb people are saying that they're dropping this novel because it's a BL. Umm NO, it's just a running joke among the characters in the novel but I wouldn't really mind if it happened(HEHE). It never happens in the novel so don't worry. Ahem, it's actually kinda funny when they mention it especially due to some angel's reaction to it. Also, the protagonist isn't dumb or naive or too cold-hearted. He's smart and logical but still caring and doesn't just kill everybody with no remorse.
I'm gonna give it 5 star or more if that available because this novel deserve better,you all just a afraid because reading this novel will make you gay.But it doesn't had something like that,I admit the MC and the protagonist had a chemistry but that's it this novel is story about friendship and nakama power....😁😁
While some saying it's not a BL. The mc way of acting in front of the "protagonist" is disgusting. He always seems excited when talking to him. No he wont act like that toward his 3 female friend and couple it with many scenes his monologue thinking the protagonist is cool the way they wear clothes like a couple. I warn you this is disgusting
This story is a new world I know and I really love because everything in it is very beautiful. Story development, plot, and even their struggle, friendship, sacrifice is like magic to me. I felt all emotions while reading this novel, from sadness, joy, excitement, emotion, laughter, depression, anger, even disappointment. This shows that this novel is really a very beautiful legendary masterpiece one because despite the many tragedies in the story, it is still a beautiful story, interesting and... still a happy ending story. I'm really glad that i know and read their story until end 🖤
I typically don’t write reviews for every piece of literature I’ve read ever since the first time I picked up a book, chiefly because I have always had the thought that the writer or everyone who’d witness my thoughts about it would see it as a fleeting comment that is synonymous, if not completely analogous, with thousands of other utterance other beings (who knows if the only one reading those I’ve read are only humans?) had said before. I write this review earnestly because I have given up on my belief of, ‘it wouldn’t matter for anyone—these words that bubbled in my mind when I immerse myself in the story’. I have found a new meaning to write a review after 552 chapters, in which that I write this only for me—to scribble on a wall with somewhat a broken pencil, but then it’s still from me. The process of writing this matters to me, mayhaps as much as the writers who wrote this webnovel. While there are numerous things I want to write after reading the whole webnovel (in six days alongside my daily 9 hours of sleep time and final exams), I'll just explain the biggest impact of this story to me. The protagonist himself—Kim Dokja—was a man I resented. His thoughts are subconsciously arrogant, and his dependency on tls123’s novel reminded me of an unhealthy obsession. No matter how much I’ve learnt about his background story nor the reasoning behind his actions, I can’t wrap my head around it. His motives are radically naive but the litigations he commits are nonsensically logical. After years of journeying alongside with him and his unsurprisingly uncreative nebula name (metaphorically speaking since he spent, like, years, in the webnovel), I still didn’t get it and his whole personality, until the probably around 500th chapter of the story. His visionary nature, his ‘lying my way through despite me being a terrible liar’ trait, his whole being deliberately erasing himself from what he views as happiness from him. It isn’t an act of martyrdom, and I’ll cut anyone’s head who thinks that it’s admirable. It’s rather cowardly. It’s the inability to find one’s own self-worth and using it as an excuse to delete their own being inside what they think of as the most ideal scenario. It’s unbelievably selfish. It angered me to see him constantly committing indirect and unlabelled suicide for the ‘sake of everyone’. But then, I realise why I loathed him so much. Why I didn’t think that any of the words that described him and his efforts were nearby what is sane. And it’s none other than the fact that I had seen way too much of myself inside him. Now, I don’t think I would be nowhere nearby his accomplishments if I were to be in that kind of world. His planning excessively nature is alien to me, though his view of the world with the bigger picture is not strange to me. The words that went along as something like, “some people who wanted to be saved might’ve said nothing/didn’t say anything.” (forgive for the shittiest accuracy right here, my memory is not really that good) and it struck me to the bone. Him giving excuses for his actions despite the majority of them, if not everything, are nowhere nearby justified. Him doing the same thing again and again despite already understanding bits by bits that his companions only wanted to live and to die alongside with him. Him deliberately ignoring his acknowledgement about those feelings of his companions and stubbornly keeping on doing what he thinks would be ideal for them, because his happiness is within them and not with them. I might not be able to execute things like him, but I definitely would do similar things like what he did, without a second thought. I then despised him even more. I want him to find happiness. I hated him because I’ve found sympathy for him, despite suppressing to pour my empathy for him from the very beginning. The words in his story are still his story, but then I become to seep in them like how I do to literally every other character except him. I come to want to slap the back of his head and give him the worst hug that’ll crush all his bones and grind them with my mighty hands to dust. And then, well. I’m terribly awful at writing anything that’ll describe my feelings, but I think that I’d survive a day or more because of this story. It sounded terribly cliché, the first time I had this thought when I was reading the story, but I can confidently say that I will survive. My personal story isn’t really up for a discussion or publicity, but I want to express how much this obnoxiously long titled webnovel means to me. The background of the story and how well it is being built let me love it. At first, I thought, ‘well, I’m always excessively immersed in the form of literacies I’ve read’. And, well, frankly, yeah. The majority of it is because my brain is just stimulated with the fantastical imaginary world inside this webnovel. It makes me think, ‘well, might as well prepare to bring my cat in a cage tomorrow and prepare to find bugs to kill when I go outside’. And, it’s just the 15% of it—or even lower. The characters and their developments, the constellations that are all rich with personalities. Even sometimes when I find things are just borderline weird, like when Fei Hu and Ranveer Khan suddenly wanted to join Kim Dokja Company on their plan to rescue the fool. The relationships in-between the people and beings, the fact that I yearned to want an ending where they’d finally be happy despite me liking to go against the main characters on every book I’ve read so far. TLDR; I like the webnovel, I guess. It makes me take a look at myself. It makes me want to see the next chapter, again and again, doesn’t matter whether it’ll end badly or not. Oh, wait, I forgot to mention earlier that Dokja’s monologues about loving what he reads are extremely relatable. I wonder if it’ll be nice if I were to born in a new world as a constellation and just try to make the odds go against him, seeing him smile as he finds the things in front of him difficult or something. Maybe, summoning a wave of fire to his legit mother's house or something. I still like seeing him suffer despite after chapters of seeing him suffer. I don’t know how to end this review. I can’t properly say that I am in love because that’s a word too strong yet too weak to describe what I think and feel (the latter being usually very weak) about this webnovel. Thank you for writing this story, I guess. (Also, I am very aware that my comment is in English. After finishing on writing this, I realise that the comment won’t be translated in Korean or anything. Might as well let it be since I lost the value on wanting for this comment to reach out anyone, anyways. Uh... Thank you. Again. You’ve saved a life. Or another life.)
This novel is easily the best one out there. Forget about the romance or the action or anything really, it's characters are what kept me coming back for more. I started reading this novel because of the Webtoon, but I can say that I stayed for everything else. In many ways, this novel saved me, much like our main protagonist. The last 6 months became some of the most stressful and difficult months in my life, I can say that without me reading this novel I couldn't have survived. I want to thank both translators for making it possible for us non-Korean speakers to be immersed in this world. I said it before somewhere, but I really liked Rainbow Turtle's simple yet impactful translation. When APW cam though, at first I wasn't all that "on board", but with time it gets easier and easier to get accustomed to. It becomes more detailed and some things that were originally harder to translate come with explanations as to why they are translated the way they are. This has become my favorite novel and story of all time, thank you SingSong for this. Now all that's left is to read it again.
I freaking love it! it felt like I was there alongside the MC. I cried. I cheered. I laughed. I was always at the edge of my seat throughout the novel! Lots of unexpected turns and very predictable actions coming from the MC...if you know what I mean 😉. It felt as if the story came to life when I read this novel. It's amazing. It's definitely worth reading!
