Genre: action, adventure, comedy
“The son of god Gula has returned. ” I was lost in the world of gambling.
First Impressions
I've spent some time diving into "The Second Coming of Gluttony," and it's been quite the ride. This web novel certainly has its strong points, but it's not without its flaws. It’s one of those stories that really grabs you, but also makes you scratch your head at times. Initially, I was hooked by the unique premise. The main character, Seol, starts as a complete scumbag – a gambling addict who's hit rock bottom. This isn't your typical wish-fulfillment isekai. Instead, it promises a genuine redemption arc, fueled by the bitterness of past mistakes. The initial tutorial and neutral zone segmen...

"Against the Gods" is a web novel that evokes strong reactions, and after diving in, I can see why. It's a rollercoaster of power-ups, revenge, and a dash of romance that certainly kept me entertained, even if I occasionally rolled my eyes. Initially, I was hooked. The early chapters promised a compelling story of reincarnation and a protagonist with a hidden past. Yun Che, the MC, starts as an underdog, and I found myself rooting for him as he navigated his new life.

Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou (WN)
3.7
(1.7K ratings)
Genre: action, adventure, ecchi
Seventeen-year-old Hajime Nagumo is your average, everyday otaku. However, his simple life of pulling all-nighters and sleeping in school is suddenly turned upside down when he, along with the rest of his class, is summoned to a fantasy world!
First Impressions
"Arifureta" is a bit of a rollercoaster, and honestly, my feelings are mixed. It's a story that starts strong, but whether it maintains that initial spark seems to be a matter of personal taste. The beginning definitely grabbed my attention. We're thrown into a classic isekai scenario, but with a dark twist. The protagonist, Hajime, is betrayed and left for dead, forcing him to claw his way back from the depths. This initial struggle, the raw survival, and the development of his anti-hero persona were compelling. I was ready for a gritty tale of revenge....

Heavenly Jewel Change
4.0
(1.5K ratings)
Genre: action, adventure, comedy
Every human has their Personal Jewel of power, when awakened it can either be an Elemental Jewel or Physical Jewel. They circle the right and left wrists like bracelets of power.
First Impressions
"Heavenly Jewel Change" is quite the rollercoaster of a web novel, and I can definitely see why it has such a dedicated following. It’s a story that throws you headfirst into a world of cultivation, comedy, and a whole lot of action, leaving you breathless and often laughing along the way. Initially, the main character, Zhou Weiqing, comes across as a shameless scoundrel, and that's putting it mildly! He's definitely not your typical stoic protagonist, and that's part of what makes him so memorable. The comedic elements are strong right from the start, and the world-building, while perhaps not...

First Impressions
"My Girlfriend is a Zombie" is a wild ride of a web novel, and I came away with mixed feelings. It's a blend of genres that shouldn't work but somehow manages to be entertaining, at least for a while. Initially, I was drawn in by the premise: a zombie apocalypse with a twist. The main character has the ability to control zombies, and he's determined to save his childhood crush who, unfortunately, is now one of the undead. It's a unique starting point that sets it apart from your typical zombie survival story....

"God and Devil World" threw me into a chaotic, post-apocalyptic Earth teeming with zombies, mutated beasts, and desperate survivors. It's a wild ride that blends xuanhuan elements with a game-like system, and I can definitely see why it's garnered such a dedicated following. Initially, I was hooked. The premise is captivating: a bored god turns Earth into a deadly playground, and our MC, Yue Zhong, rises to the occasion, evolving from an average student into a ruthless leader. I appreciated the fast-paced action and the intrigue of the leveling system. The early stages, where Yue Zhong is just...

Long Live Summons!
3.8
(1.6K ratings)
Genre: action, adventure, comedy
The Soaring Dragon Continent is a world of summons, where you can only become strong if you become a summoner! Yue Yang, an average high school boy, was suddenly kicked into this world.
First Impressions
Long Live Summons! is a web novel that promised a wild ride, and in some ways, it delivered. Jumping into this xuanhuan world, I was greeted with a blend of action, adventure, and a heavy dose of comedy. The initial premise, revolving around summoning and monster companions, felt fresh and exciting, like a blend of classic monster-catching with cultivation elements. The early chapters definitely grabbed my attention. The MC's antics, though often leaning towards the lewd, had a certain roguish charm that made me chuckle. It felt like the author was aiming for a lighthearted, almost satirical t...
