He exercised, he kept to a healthy diet, he’d studied hard, gotten excellent grades, and was working towards his masters. Somehow, things just weren’t working out for him like he’d been told they would. He was stuck in a thankless position, constantly passed over, and it seemed that the only being on earth that cared about him was his cat.Then things got worse.Never back a man into a corner unless you want to find out just how hard he can fight.Updates Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Collapse Dungeons, Game Elements, LitRPG, Magic, Male Protagonist, Weak to Strong, Multiple POV, System, Previous Life Talent, Reincarnated in Another World, Anti-social Protagonist, Modern Knowledge, Beasts, Slow CultivationI'm up to ch 220 now, and I'm loving it. It is easily better than other LitRPGs I've read, save perhaps "The Land" by Aleron Kong. That is a an absolutely fantastic story, but the MC in that is rather hotheaded and immature, sort of like the western equivalent to the MC of "Martial God Asura". The MC of Monroe, Bob, I think is much better.We have sort of a functioning autistic MC, Bob who is devoted to his cat, but gets blown into a parallel dimension. In it, levels, paths (classes), and such exist as well as an adventuring profession, a monarchy and nobles and that sort of thing. The routine monster tides kill people in the villages and towns kill people all the time, and noone dies of old age in that world.Bob starts with nothing, not even the language. In this book we witness how Bob pursues dungeon delving in an effort to get to his cat before he starves to death, Spoilerand then later how he helps the Earth.. This is a slower paced book with not much time skipping. It is a slice of life with great characters and a dose of adventure. There is no harem, no romance, and the MC is pretty asexual. I don't know if there will ever be any, there have been signs of Bob becoming a bit more open and trusting of others. We'll have to wait and see.I enjoy the cat POV once in a while, as well as the short POV bits of other characters once in a while. The only downside is the overuse of Monroe the cat's "feline overlord" and such forms of address for him. Even the biggest cat person doesn't use the same gags over and over.I've read to this point so single-mindedly I've a headache and my eyes feel like they're bulging out. If you're wondering whether or not to read this, you might want to consider your health first.Its amazing and wholesome if:- You like cats - You like LITrpg- You are a fan of DnD- logical progression without to much plot armorIt quite a bit different then the usual system novel. Its way more in-depth with skills and how they work. Its hard grinding to get stronger.The character are well written and vastly different from each other.You can see that the author has experience in the gaming genre (he is a Game Dev btw)Everything but the cat is just assNot goodNovel is pretty boring overall. Here are my thoughts. Stop making the MC act in weird ways cause that's just embarrassing. Cut down on the repetitive stuff such as dungeon delving time, and tavern(breakfast, lunch, dinner) time, cause that's just filler. Stop with this reincarnation BS, cause it's a stupid cheat and another way to just drag out this novel. A introvert saving millions of people is a bunch of BS. Plus the idea of getting earth involve with the so call "system" doesn't make any sense or does it interest me. MC is a very indecisive person which gets annoying over time. So the mean reason why MC isn't attracted to the opposite sex is because his mother is a whore, which is a bunch of BS and a lame excuse. Too many complaints so I'll just leave at this.Im leaving this cause all im seeing are reviews taken from reviews of other people.A must f#cking read. If you are gonna complain about the pov changes know that the mc is delving 16 hrs a day in a dungeon at those moments so what the f#ck do you want to read? The multiple POVs arent even that bad especially when i discovered that they are properly sectioned in Royalroad so i advice to read it there. World building is great, plot is great, characters are great especially the MC i love how the author made a character like that as the MC. I got nothing bad to say really, since the multiple POVs doesnt bother me and it actually gives more depth to the story imo. Really excited for the next update.Score: 10/10I finished all the available chapters in like 4 days, a bit slow for some but oh well its a testament to how good it is.I don't know why this novel has such a high rating. I find it damn boring and "weird" in a bad way. The offworlders carry too many vibes of modern western mother hens who would like to have good things for everyone. The hero is suspicious, but reveals an important secret right away. The hero is a f#cking researcher by trade, but can't use the powers given by the system. It doesn't even check all options. All thoughts are like zombie cravings, but instead of "Brains..." he repeats "Monroe..." So, he has a cat. We don't know much about this cat other than that he's clingy. The hero finds himself in another world and all his thoughts are about one thing - my cat can die of hunger. I'll skip the incompetent people at the particle accelerator. The hero has no mental maturity. This is f#cking weird, guys. I read up to chapter 23. Events move so slowly that it's tedious to read. Mind you, I enjoy reading "Beware of Chicken", but not this story. I tried to ignore the logic flaws, but... this story is too boring. MC is stupid. There is no conflict other than "I have to get my cat back... I have to... My cat... My cat... Even if it costs me my life, I will summon a cat from Earth to a world with a system! My cat... Monroe... Brains... oh, I meant Monroe..."The last part of your review made me laugh way more than it should.the author's or the mc's obsession with monroe the cat is kind of too much for me, i dropped this at ch 24, the mc isn't the best out there for sure, kind of too whiny and pathetic? maybe cuz it's still the start of the novel but i didn't see any improvements so far, and boy o boy he is kinda dumb, if it weren't for the friendly people( or called plot armor ) he would've gotten killed or kidnapped many times over. in any case this is just my opinion and how i saw things so far, try it for yourself and decide."If it weren't for the friendly people (plot armor)...." lol, at least this is a interpretation of how someone can realistically survive being transported to another world. If you were transported to another world, different culture, different laws of physics, monster out to eat you, no money, beaten to a pulp by an explosion, are you gonna survive without kind people?I see no one explaining how this shit isThe cat doesn't die SpoilerMonroe wont die as long as his master, Mc, Bob, doesn't die. Because Monroe is eventually connected to Bob as his familiar. Immune to dying of old age, and should he be killed, he'll be resurrected with just the moment of his death forgotten. Monroe Pov makes reading this worth it.(less)
