Past Life Returner
70 - 4+ world economic meets dungeon and it’s pretty good Note : you have wait for nearly 20c (17?) to see a dungeon, this can get long I was disappointed the author chose to skip the character’s childhood altogether, but as soon as the story added action to trading part, the pace picked up From the financial asian crisis of 98 to the day the dungeons opens 20 years later the MC build a financial empire retracing the economy from 98 to 2009. Despite apart of fiction, it’s a rather deep plunge into the exploration of world current crisis Ok returner plus banking, is not all new, what’s interesting though, is that it’s not another lucky guy riding knowledge of the past and surfing the privileges of risk free investments, but it has the ambition of making the MC completely take other the world of finance in order to prevent the world collapse when dungeons appears. The first season give about 50 chapters out of 64 of that economic warfare with small dip into trading theories and historical explanations /interpretation, all mixed with fiction of the MC interferences It’s smart, entertaining and different. I don’t have an economic background, but i feel like i learned a few things, nonetheless i am not sure someone with more knowledge would find it interesting or accurate. The dungeon + system (evil version ?) is the small part so far, but also have a bigger plot The goal of the MC are nobles, while his means are not , they are set to prevent economic collapse, nuclear bombing, awakeners going astray and becoming a threat to the world, and to do that, he seek absolute control and domination. In requires absolute obedience in some places and has qui a few solo player + know it all flaws. Unsurprisingly, He carries a god nickname and recruit powerful beings to rule the world after But sadly, you can’t escape the unequal terms of his relationships; his collaborators will either die or bend : they’ll end up calling him « master « and are scared of him when they are not trembling in awe (sight :how boring ?) Lastly the author smartly made a reason for the character to reset his power in hope to achieve greater abilities and have a chance against the ultimate monsters For the reader , it’s plenty good as you don’t have to endure an absolute OP character with no challenges in front of him There is a plot, an overall good pace, a wide variety of characters (no one too pleasant though) and appart from the king of the world complex, it’s rather good Over comment : RE MASTER VERSION OF "Reincarnator" EDIT - I REMEMBER THE PREVIOUS VERSIONS FIRST SEASON (ALL 29 CHAPS) were all about economic class lol ...it gave all of us such headache trying to comprehend those stuffs & there were no action at all .. it was so bad hopefully they do it better this this with re mastered version edit -2 i am not into this even after 37 chaps not into this economy shit (I loved the reincarnator thing meh …
A Talented Player
47 - good start
Exclusive maid of the evil empress
69 Fun thanks to the very able MC Smart with the portrayal of a complex empress, pushed into a villain archetype by another powerful woman schemes This gives the opportunity for a bit of plot and uninterrupted action (not big action, but there’s quite a few things happening and a background story ongoing) Very good c55 58/59 about women condition and patriarchy
Steel-Eating Player
36 - good Unpleasant MC, but with strong ethics, team play and respectable values Not much silly stupid gimmick to get him rid of the blasphemous « hero »/« good guy « jacket, apart from his very stupid « i will eat/devour it all « sentence I appreciate that the fighting episode are well thought and feel tactically interesting In too many titles fighting is lengthy, with useless talk, special effects and predictable winner, no matter how « hard » (lengthy) it is - but here, there are not necessary pages to skip So far it still has strong soloish vibes, but the mindset has already opened to cooperation with cherished teammates (might go wrong as it’s very solo centered) I like the start point where humans were not defeated by monsters but by the greediness of a handful of villains I also like the many statements about the aberration of a system who recognize people value and the value of their life based on ratings Comments on novel uptade are part good, pzrt disapointed du to the lack of planning and the one man against the world issues
My Younger Sister Was a Genius
44 - now, that’s something i nearly skipped due to the title, but it’s excellent I’m not sure there’s much interest to the rebirth thing ? At least there’s not plagiarizing the future or filling a bank account with random investments, in the same manner, despite knowing who’s going to be famous and planning to get friends with them, in reality encounters are just natural It feels nice and entertaining
Reincarnated Into a Game as the Hero’s Friend
1 - great first chapter Now i want more
The Closet Fan Princess
28 https://moonlightnovel.com/novels/princess-who-hides-her-fandom/ The webtoon is better, being cut down on paranoid monologues of several characters reading the mind of others /making wrong guess all the way The novel becomes disappointing when the MC runs into a deadly accident and pretends to forget he man she pursued before transmigrating, then she goes all sweet to her favorite outcast who doesn’t understand why hell has become frozen : why would the princess who hated and bullied him be suddenly all over him I don’t like this story too much Before she came in, the princess was an abusive tyrant, a bully and a stalker But now, the writer feels the need to make a quasi bad guy out of his main victim The boy certainly was not sweet, he also might have retaliated in an unfair relationship, and that can be depicted now as bullying (he did set her up and didn’t show at appointment) I don’t cares if it’s because he blamed her for missing his mother last moment, it’s true that no one would like to be ordered around by a younger child with no one to acknowledge how unfair it is There’s no 10 year old who will be happy to be stuck into babysitting a small girl, because hierarchy dictates it If the child was lonely, it’s not like it’s a burden that can be taken care of by a subordinate child either What are these grown up doing ? You can’t force friendships, it’s sick Now the over thing i dislike is that she will fast forward her relationship through deception I haven’t read much after her memory loss, but it’s unpleasant that she’s fooling everyone She lives like she’s writing her own script, it’s seriously weird, people are not book characters Then she too is a stalker, she has a drone to film herself and her bias, and it’s so disturbing : is her life a movie now ? It feels like there are going to be a few victims in a harem ( why did they addd the sirus playboy and make him fall in a single date, even worse with the addition of sm vibe : why would he feel the need to be dominated ??!and i don’t think it was necessary I would have much more be happy with honesty and heartfelt talk
Star-Fostered Swordmaster
58 Explanatory vision of our collective narrative The bottom , the top, the birth origin How you can only rise by bowing to the unfair system and serve him How the lowest admire and fear the opportunistic top without getting a real understanding of the unfairness they perceive The normalcy of this abusive and cruel system is also maintained by the passivity and the complicity of all
