This narrative presents itself primarily as a mobile game experience, where players engage in extensive grinding to elevate their 'Hero' NPCs and their respective armies, subsequently dispatching them to battle in a manner reminiscent of a Pokémon swarm. While the concept is entertaining in its own right, it does have its shortcomings.
One notable drawback is the lack of substantial worldbuilding. As a reader, I find myself grappling with fundamental questions, such as the motivation behind the characters' desire to attain the rank of 'Lord' and the rationale for their need to amass troops for virtual confrontations. In the initial chapter, we are introduced to the main character (MC) during an assessment designed to determine his skills. However, by the second chapter, he is thrust directly into the Novice Trial's virtual space, and intriguingly, almost 70 chapters later, he remains entangled in that same environment.
Furthermore, aside from a brief mention in chapter one regarding the MC’s status as a transmigrator, there has been little to no exploration of this concept in subsequent chapters. This lack of continuity leaves the reader yearning for a deeper understanding of the character's background and the mechanics of the world they inhabit.
On a more positive note, the writing style is competently executed, making the read fairly enjoyable despite its flaws. Additionally, the translation is of excellent quality, which greatly enhances the overall reading experience. This balance between engaging prose and translation proficiency keeps the narrative afloat, even if it occasionally lacks depth in its worldbuilding elements. I look forward to seeing if future chapters will expand upon the foundational concepts introduced at the beginning of the story.
