Description
Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.After transmigrating into a weak noble body, Marvin discovered that he was familiar with the world, this was the game he played in his previous life and… Damn! He only had six months before the Great Calamity!
As a former top player, he would obviously fight to save the world… Yeah, no. Time to plan and prepare for the upcoming events, better to use that knowledge to get ahead rather than fight with gods.
Follow Marvin’s journey through this new world.

There's lack of necessary descriptions, many ridiculous random occurrences, forced side characters like Anna. The so-called super guard where the MC nearly reached her level from zero at ch12.
Anna shouldn't exist because she's just a s*upid obstacle without background whom the author insistently places at the center of the story. Etc. This story will only get more and more inconsistent in the future chapters together with plot randomness, lack of descriptions and backgrounds, and forced side characters like Anna whom are nothing but obstacles.
- MC is a degenerate. He's pretty much a psychopath. From what I've understood, he used to be a regular guy from Earth who used to play this game, but he doesn't hesitate to mu*der (at all). Not even a thought like 'hey, isn't it weird that I don't feel anything about killing another human being? Guess not, okay'. Nothing. Nill. It'd be fine, but unfortunately the novel adapts the moralist attitude about MC's actions, and it just becomes impossible to take it seriously. His kill-count throughout 243 chapters supersedes the supposed evil, Shadow Prince by a f*cking mile, and nobody questions it. Again - that would be fine as I don't have anything against psychopathic characters (as they can be really fun) - but the moralist attitude about MC's actions ruins it all. Furthermore, MC is simply too lucky. An element of luck is necessary in these types of stories as it provides a buffer for MC to go from nothing to something and not die in the meantime. However, there should be a clearly drawn line somewhere - there isn't here. Not only is he blessed by a godlike cheat (that lets him get to a level in 3 months that most people spend their lifetimes reaching), but wherever he goes, he's just showered in golden shit. Yeah, yeah, 'he played the game so he knows stuff', but the problem is that oftentimes he gets things he wasn't looking for, or even knew about. In addition, his plot armor is thick, matching greatly his, quite honestly, sub-par intellect. MC isn't smart. He isn't cunning. Again, that would be fine, but author tries to present him as someone who is. No, it isn't MC who is smart - it is just that everyone else is even s*upider than him, and not by a large margin. Supposed gods who've ascended to a higher plane and basically control worlds are utter, complete morons. No, seriously. They are idiots, that's all. And that's the only reason MC appears even remotely 'smart'. He's not. He constantly makes rash decisions, puts other people in danger due to his selfishness, he never reflects ('cause when he does it never sticks), he constantly makes the same mistakes, he's too headstrong... nothing about him screams 'smart'. All in all, not a very interesting MC, but certainly not the worst of the bunch.
- Every other character. They're too one-note. They can be described in either of two ways: they're MC's friend or MC's enemy. That's about it. Any possible nuance is lost with these characters. MC is a super-magnet for powerhouses of the world because he needs them 99% of the time to save his ass because of some idiotic thing he did. And they do. And they never as much berate him for his s*upidity. But, honestly, even beyond that, their personalities are too one-note. Monk is stoic. Anna is loyal. Hath-a-what? is tsundere. That old blacksmith is grumpy. Who else? Uh, right, Ivan is gay. His father is cold. You can see where I'm going. It's truly as if these people are NPCs and MC is just playing the game (which honestly feels like it most of the time, as he seems to be the only 'player' with cheat-like abilities in the world of 'NPCs'). Nothing interesting here either.
- If there was a game which reflected the world, it s**ked. Abilities like 'striking a target hard then turning into a cripple for half a month' is dumb. Passive increments in ALL basic stats after killing bunch of things through the night is dumb (especially because stats are limited; for instance, max for a 4th ranked guy is 30dex. Let's say he grinds the sh*t out of that passive and gets it to 10%. He now has 33dex, surpassing the 'limit'. It makes no sense). sh*t like sub-sub-sub classes makes no sense, especially when they aren't linked in any way, though author does try desperately to connect them. Our MC has 4 classes. Sure, why not. Things like instant-death spells make no sense.
- At the start of the novel, we were told that Wizards are by far the most powerful beings in the world. By 243rd chapter, the Wizards turned out to be the weakest morons in the world. No, seriously. They can't do anything except die. 95% of the characters that we know about aren't even wizards for f*ck's sake. They just roll over and die whenever MC (or anyone else, actually) comes to the scene.
- World-building is bad. For the most part it's too simplistic, yet for a 6-7 chapters it deviates from that norm completely and it tries to create a multi-plane, multi-layered universe and just leaves half the questions hanging. Talking about this would be a bit too spoilerish, but most of the things about gods that we learn are just nonsense, especially when compared with the first few chapters to when we start seeing gods in action.
- The whole territory nonsense. I don't even know why author started this sub-plot because it's clear he had absolutely no intention to develop it. It is relegated to 'MC goes back to his territory, everything is fine, he leaves'.
- Items. I don't mind the items; for the most part they're fine and a relatively fun part of the whole ordeal. However, they tend to have what I like to call 'hidden stats'. Out of nowhere, an item in MC's hands will suddenly have a property that it didn't have before simply because author said so. It truly breaks the consistency of the world even further.
- One thing that I've always wondered about (and that is never explained properly) are the religions in the world. How did they come to be? How the hell did people even find out about gods' existence in the first place? Aren't they locked out of the world entirely? The only reason that one guy was able to descend was because of an item, and that's it. It always bothered me as it's never explained and we were just supposed to accept the fact that these people not only somehow found out about gods, but found proper ways to please them and pray to them.
- Night Walker class is too many things packed into one. It's a duelist, a fighter, an assassin, a rogue, a beastmaster...... the class is so packed full-of-sh*t it would NEVER be one of the least popular classes in the game. Rather, every top player worth a salt would be playing it. Pro players in MMORPGs even nowadays level each class to the maximum limit and min-max it (especially with new MMOs) to discover all the secrets, and that won't change.
I think that's enough. Though I have some other things I could talk about, I don't think it's necessary. Again, Night Ranger is a fun read for the most part. However, it suffers from terrible plot structure, inconsistent (and plot-hole-ridden) story, one-note boring characters, and shoddy world-building. That's enough for... more>>
