Summary

The royal bastard of House Vasquer, Argrave, has changed after his stay studying magic at the Tower of the Gray Owl. The sickly man’s awkward posture and cruel behavior have been replaced with a neat dignity and acerbic wit. His listless life has found a path of undeniable purpose. Most come away thinking he seems to know too many details about too much. Few can claim to know his motives or his goals.

Behind the scenes, though, the primary contributor for an open-world RPG’s wiki battles existential dread and things far beyond his ken as he struggles to adapt to a grim, gothic fantasy world that he had the misfortune to claim as his favorite game. This is his tale.

#####What to expect from this story#####

This piece is a high-fantasy style story, featuring many of the species and surroundings one might expect to find in such a world. The cultures are original and well-developed, with the primary setting being a European-style feudal society. Warfare, fell beasts, and natural disasters are commonplace in Berendar, and take the center of many plots. The protagonist is a smooth-talker, but the world does not exist for him; he must struggle to gain power.

    I read exactly 180 chapters of this novel and I can say that it was very good, the pace was great, neither too fast nor too slow, the construction of the world and the setting is fantastic and the secondary characters are unique and fascinating, but in the last chapters the protagonist gave a 360° of personality I know that the transformation event was drastic and brought a lot of pain but I preferred his lighter, more playful and at the same time reliable personality, now he seems more like a soldier who has control of the entire group of companions and the tireless duty to save the world at any cost, and the only one the MC listens to and cares about is his girlfriend. In my opinion, this left the novel a bit boring.

    So um I read this webnovel just 10 chapter in and I can feel it. This webnovel is really really good. The atmosphere, grammar, flow of conversation, dynamic between characters, how the author build the plot, etc is really impeccable. I mean, I forced myself to stop because I knew, I'll become addicted to this novel if I'm reading this. So yeah will stack the chapters until 700 or 800 chapters, and for all of you see this novel and maybe search the comment, is it recommend to read my answer is YESS, JUST READ IT.. But if you feel cliffhanger or want more chapter, well that's your responsibility..

      It's your personal taste so ok👍... but this "forced" thing just doesn't make sense my friend

        What Imeant by forced is that it serves no purpose to the plot. Advancing or restraining the plot and the story. Whether they both were lesbians, are aliens from mars, or have chicken wings, they do not affect the story. As far as I read (read till current last chapter). Thus, the "screen time" it got over the chapters in contrast to it being flavour text is what made me think its forced plot. Especially with how the Mc took his own initiative to advance that further for no reason whatsoever, pushing both sides to confront each other about it. Now if it had a sub plot or a small arc for it but no... just nothing. From the initial starting point and how the mc reacted to it, it gave me the impression itll have a mini arc. But no. Becomes flavour text. Literally. I dare say itll become a passing remark later. Like "every1 got what they want. Happily ever after" sort of thing. This is what I thought while saying forced at the time.

        bro, for me at most I could say that it wasn't completely well developed (but for me it being something more gradual makes sense) I really don't know why this wouldn't be important in the story, after all it's a type of development of the relationship between the two girls and the protagonist (deepening the relationship between the three characters, especially with the cat) I still don't understand why the protagonist's support in this (helping a character he already knows very well, knowing his future development) would be forced... he can build a more complex relationship between them, so throughout the story they will have more trust in him. So I don't know why this wouldn't be relevant, after all the Protagonist doesn't necessarily need to do things with long-term goals, he can also do subtle actions that deepen the relationships between the characters, and without doing entire arcs of this to make his characters more “alive ”

        The only thing of that novel is that the mc is a little too strong

      That's understandable people have different preferences. A complete opposite of this would be the 'Regressors Instruction Manual,' if you're interested. Although, mc's power level is a bit slow-paced.
