The Invincible Summoner Who Crawled Up from Level 1: Wrecking Reincarnators with My Hidden Dungeon · review
The basis of the story is that MC's stepfather/guardian deletes his pay-to-win trash mmorpg game account and (almost) all save data is lost, and then he is reincarnated in that same game. Premise of inability to restore data from backup is rather extreme and calls for extreme justification, which was not given here, so if you apply common sense to the story, it falls apart (business without backups? lol). If you ever played at least a few mmo games, you should know that actually deleting account is not a trivial thing. Most of the story revolves around MC getting back at his stepfather and finding/saving his sister.Another part is racism. Or it would be more correct to call it xenophobia between: NPC humans, human reincarnators, NPC demi-humans. There is a twist to this: part of this discrimination is based on the fact that reincarnated people are aware that they are in the game and treat NPCs as "data" - as inhuman as possible - but by this logic they are the same data, only if taken from supposedly once lived people (since they had to die to get into the game, extrapolating information given at the start), and continue on to live as "data" in this game world (this logical conclusion does not seem to be explored by the author, at least not yet in any tangible way).
There is a lot of problems arise when the author tries to explain the reincarnators' motives for leaving this place, or the motives on which they interact with each other. These explanations are brief and nonsensical if you think about them for a minute. Most of it boils down to one question: why would you want to give up eternal life, godlike powers, relative safety, and unlimited resources for the dubious chance of returning to the "real" world? No sane answer is given.
Author is not so good at setting up plot twists beforehand, but at least he explains them right before or right after, when he pulls them out of nowhere.
With these flaws, story is still pretty well written and have a lot of action. Cant say there is much of any other good stuff, there are a few hot scenes, but they go nowhere.
1 vol. - 8
2 vol. - 8
3 vol. - 7 (same volume formula/structure as before. It gets rather stale for MC to overcome his obstacles in the same manner over and over again).
