I really liked this. Initially, it was dull but gets better as it moves on. There's no romance for the main character yet as far as the characters go, so you don't need to be concerned. It's a shame they dropped it on this site.

It’s kinda boring in the beginning but it gets a lot better and I hope it will continue to be translated as I want to know what will happen(especially about the crown prince).

I love the story and how it shows the views of other people and why they do what they did. It makes you think on a different level of what's going on. I can't really describe how I feel about this, but it's very exciting even though there can be times where I get a bit bored, but the hype comes back so it makes up for it. I really hope this keeps updating; I love the plot.

This thing gives me a major headache because I’m trying to understand how the world the MC is in works, it’s not bad actually that, is really interesting trying to comprehend the works of the muses and the goddess Mnemosyne which wow, a Greek god who isn’t sooooo well known like Zeus or Aphrodite is really good. The story is interesting I’ve up until +100 in is worth it for people who enjoy this kind of stories. The MC instead of trying to achieve a lacker’s life like someone I know he really like money lmao. Anyway good read

i powered through all the way to chapter 13 and I'm not sure I can continue. The story is hard to follow and it sucks. especially the powers or "stigma's" whatever the fuck those are. the editor power doesn't make sense and neither does Arthur's. another thing is what's up with Arthur it keeps switching between lei and Arthur what's his fucking name bro.

I give the five stars because of the complexity of the plot story. I really want to know how it will be at the end. Although the words and sentences the author use abundant. If read with a bigger picture, it made me wanting more

Novel Rating: 6/10

About the novel: Reincarnation into a book that the MC has edited, but MC has little to no free will in important matters.

Apparently the world will be destroyed if the original protagonist dies, so MC has to protect and care for the protagonist of the book. MC Finds himself being forced to cater to the whims of the original protagonist in the book.

Story is more of a slice of life with bits of action in between. Not to say there are no battles, but whenever there's a battle of even mild importance, MC will collapse because of his "weak body" (every time, without exception).

Pacing of the story starts out great, but later it is just mind-numbingly slow. Also, stuff is just repeated dozens of times, giving no new information the reader.

Pros:

1. Interesting concept if you've never read a reincarnated into a book/game novel.
2. World building and the concepts behind it are mildly interesting.
3. Characters initially seem very interesting, later they start to feel a bit more 2D (aka filler characters)
4. Plot of the story seems to hold potential.

Cons:

1. Pacing gets really slow, lots and lots of filler content, trivial filler arcs, lots of repetition of wording.
2. MC is very passive and basically just reacts to what happens to him most of the time, no plans of his own unless they're for earning money which he rarely uses.
3. (Recurrent plot hole) MC has a weak body that he can strengthen but doesn't even try to though it keeps putting him in danger, and he can "circulate ether all day". Collapses out of exhaustion, gets sick, almost dies, multiple times cause of his weak body, but does little to nothing to deal with it.
4. Author tries to keep this forced sense of mystery around stuff but just leaves a lot of stuff unexplained and just moves on.
5. And my biggest issue, author keeps repeating the very same reasons for advancing the plot and explaining why stuff is happening the way it does in the story ALL THE TIME.

Summary of review: If new to concept or genre, read it. If you feel like you have nothing to read, (reading addict like me) give it a try, at least it will last you a few hours.

If you like fast-paced novels, novels where the MC takes the initiative, novels where the narrative is reasonable and seems to make sense, or novels without constant repetition of useless stuff and filler arcs that could have been turned into 1 chapter instead of 10, this isn't the novel for you. Don't waste your time on it.

If the author ever reads this, this novel genuinely held a lot of potential, I appreciate the work and thought that went into the characters themselves, but the plot was just really lacklustre, considering what the novel promised to be. Novel left a bad taste in my mouth cause I just had really high expectations of it, felt like it could've been an 8 or a 9.

Sincerely,

    Nice review , and the issue of the MC becoming a passive log going with the flow is a problem that plagues stories like this about reincarnating in a fictional world. You really need an author that takes risks in this kind of things because if you are writing a fanfiction it has less leeway than an original world you created yourself

It's interesting but one major thing I dislike is the worldbuilding.
What exactly is their magic.
For instance, there is defense magic, but not much is said bout it's appearance.
A whole lot of concepts are thrown at us like we are expected to understand them somehow
