The3Crimson3Kane

John Adkins, a 26-year-old boxer, was killed after he won a match he was supposed to botch. Fortunately, somebody thought that giving this poor shmuck another chance at life was a good idea (that idiot).

He was born into a world where life is a video game; there are dungeons filled with dangerous monsters, people are called Players, and there aren't any do-overs. Only he's not John anymore―he's some 16-year-old twerp named Powyn Theeves.

Little does John know that Powyn was a budding sociopath who held grudges and was hellbent on getting revenge. He got a girl pregnant without her consent, twisted the mind of his adopted younger sister, and was on the verge of completing his master plan of murdering his best friend. But now John lives in his body and has to live with the consequences, all while trying to complete the difficult quest his system interface had given him:

Become the strongest Player.

Nice. But I think there should be an endurance stat, too. Might be useful.

HP: *Health Points* The amount of Players health; increased by the Constitution stat


MP: *Mana Points* The amount of Players mana; increased by the Intelligence stat


Stat Points: Players use these to upgrade their Stat levels


Skill points: Players use these to acquire a new skill from the skill tree or upgrade skills


Strength (Str): 6/10; determines how strong your attacks are


Defense (Def): 5/10; determines how much attack power you can defend against


Dexterity (Dex): 7/10; determines how easily you can dodge attacks


Constitution (Con): 10/10; determines how much stamina, and HP you have


Intelligence (Int): 2/10; determines your MP capacity and overall intelligence


Luck (LUC): 1/10; determines the chance of critical hits


Speed (SPE): 6/10; determines how fast you can run and attack


Wisdom (WIS): 1/10; determines how much MP you can recover and your common sense (or lack of it)


(All dungeons have an option of being a forest, a field, a cave or water, like a lake)

This review may change in the future, who knows. I'm only 15 chapters in.

I'm not gonna lie: the story is good and interesting. I love a good Reincarnation story. The characters are mildly interesting. At least I'm not seeing the cliche of every single character hating the MC for no good reason. There are a few grammar hiccups, but the writing style is good.

Now, the author doesn't seem to have a firm grip on updating. I suspect we'll be getting either 2 to 3 chapters a week, which is okay.

The pacing is a bit off. Some moments are rushed and others take too long. Luckily, there are not many of those scenes in the book.

As I said before, the characters are mildly interesting and they don't all seem to hate the MC. What hate he does get is entirely his own fault because he's a snarky twit.

The MC lived a bad life before, but the author doesn't try to shove this down our throats. They give us a bit of information, namely when the MC us moaning about the bad choices he made. I hope I see some growth in the future.

I think I'll write another one as the story progresses, to see if it gets better.

so far the novel is good 
_the plot is promising that demonstrates that you  have a rich imagination 
_i want to ask you is he going to become overpowered 'step by step' or 'fast' ?
_is there going to be harem ? in case there is one how many members?
