Summary

Who knew running for your life and getting stabbed to death could be so...good?

As Thomas' life ends, the gods of another world swoop in and grab his soul. What they needed was a champion with the courage and strength to fight against the rising chaos in their world of Eternis. What they got was a college math student who spent more time gaming than he does studying. When they throw him into a new world, in a new body, at least they give him a familiar gaming interface. Or, it would have been familiar, if he hadn’t lost his memories from the trauma of his death.

Can he sort himself out and rise to the occasion without losing himself to the violence and duplicity that plagues the world of Eternis? Even the gods don’t know.

You don't send a child to eliminate a cabal...

My biggest issue with the story, besides the lengthy character sheets and carbon copy cultivation system, is that there is no reason for the main character to be a child.
The whole purpose for him to be reincarnated is to eliminate a shadowy organisation, but for some reason the goddess of the world put him in the body of a child, instead of an adult.
What is worse is that none of the people around him treat him like one would treat a child, instead age plays no role. No one underestimating him due to age. No one ignoring his advice due to perceived lack of life experience. No one trying to shelter him from the horrors of war and bloodshed.
Instead he is eagerly thrown to the wolves as unprepared as any child would be, faced with death and pain that would make adults reconsider their choices, then the goddess is worried that he might be growing jaded and callous?

A very enjoyable story

I picked this up on a whim something different to try. I was pleasantly surprised with it.

The story has a good flow to it which made it easy to follow and become invested with the characters. It does follow a common theme but it was easy to start pulling for the MC. The MC is taken on a path that trains him for what's to come. There's heartache and joy. Friendship and dirty dealings that comes about. But it is well worth reading.

The narrator does a fantastic job of bringing the story to life. If they can continue this in the next book it will be great!

Well worth my rating of5*****.

Spoiler alert!

A lot of potential that I feel was wasted by a bit sloppy writing. The progression system was well thought out and I liked those parts. What issue I had was more with character development and side characters.

MC goes from a nobody to a beast with unlimited potential to a being of impeccable morals to a vengeful spirit. The rest of the characters around him gets introduced, quickly realises MC is now the new centre of their lives, then proceeds to die shortly. Many of the deaths of quite central figures seems to happen a bit haphazardly, with little buildup but still somehow predictably. The book ends with basically the MC dead as well, since the author now changed all of his motivations and you have no clue how he's going to act in the following book. Not sure if I will buy more in this series, since the MC gets a bit difficult to identify with, and everyone else you might like are now erased from the story.
