I dunno if Mr. Main Character is gonna die here -> and undo this whole bit. There's a chance he'll survive and get sent back.... maybe. I dunno. I'm just guessing.

Still, do you think Raviel will be mad with him if he does die?

>Average performance.
How dare?!

Hey, I can't speak for anyone else but I'm going to worship anything, it better have all three of those qualities.

Yeah, polytheistic settings can't have any entities that are all knowing, all seeing and all powerful.

It took me a while to realize that the bedridden old man is Mr. Main Character's dad.

Quick review:
3/10 Mx0 is better and it seems to have gotten axed too.
Note: it is weird, but If you click on the author's name here, you will only see this manga, but he has quite a few works. Search for Mx0 and click on the author's name there to see the rest.

Unlike his other works, this Mr. Main Character is an absolute generic "Lonely Loser." Sure, there is this plot point about aliens and stuff, but it's mostly about lonely loser's journey to becoming not-a-lonely-loser. Once that's done, it kinda barrels down to getting to the ending because that axe is coming down. Once it is done with its silly action-packed sequences, which are pretty good, it actually reverts RIGHT BACK to lonely loser territory for chapter 84.5 so he can get some free kisses from everyone.

You might argue against me, saying things like "gynophobia is real." True! It is real and I'm sorry for the people who suffer from it. Thing is, Mr. Main Character is not suffering from gynophobia. Without a shred of ambiguity, it is shown in chapter 3 that Mr. Main Character is just a horny teenager who has been rejected by non-2D women (without realizing that all 2D women would also reject him) and has convinced himself that "oh no, it's not that I'm a loser who got rejected! Nooooooooo. I'm just scared of them because they're from Jupiter" or some other delusional nonsense like that. This is like... the most important plot point - along with showing off the target girls all naked for fan service. This mangaka's older works never went this far but chapter 4 is one of those "check it out! Anime tiddies!" as if he's is saying "wait no, don't go!" Sigh.

So yeah, 3/10. Maybe skip ahead to the action sequences or just go read Mx0 instead.

Mx0 was better.
It was also axed.

Man, "gods" in comics are always so pathetic. They're never omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. That's the standard for a "god." These guys? They're absolutely pathetic existences who go around using a title that's far beyond them. It's like Loki calling himself a "god" before Hulk pummels him into the ground.
Not really throwing shade at this manhwa specifically because the word "god" has been, is, and will continue to be massively misused. It's a basic trope:
Entities that are a bit strong: *exist*
Also these entities: "I want a title to match!"
aaaaaaaaaaand they're vain enough to pick "god" even though it doesn't suit them.

Yes, I'm aware that in many many video games, you end up fighting and/or killing "gods" too. They also don't deserve the title. I'm just ranting since I have to wait a week for the next chapter. I'll tell you what's making me so impatient:
THE ART
I have high expectations of the mirror match coming up.

Well, from what I can tell, this manhua was dropped by all translators, hence the recent events (the swap to worse translators, long delays between chapters, and all that). That's unfortunate. I guess I should just suck it up and read the last ~20ish chapters that I've been refusing to read until now. Sigh.

I can confirm after looking at it on another website: this is still ongoing, latest update was 2 chapters on December 13th 2024 -> chapters 687 and 688.
I don't know why this is labeled as "Cancelled."

Update: This is now a completed work. It has finished at 652 chapters. GGs.

A quick review:
It's pretty good. 8/10, maybe 9/10.
Mr. Main Character starts off in a miserable position and puts in the work, far more work than reasonably possible -> and somehow clutches onto surviving. Things escalate and he is thrust into difficult scenarios that he must work hard to overcome them. It's not just combat, but also other skills. He will eventually become a leader responsible over others, and strategize for best results and all that.

While, yes, he has some "Mr. Main Character" tropes going for him, it never particularly feels "handed to him." Yes, he is lucky here and there, but again, it isn't basic "plot armor" or some meh reason... though I guess you can argue otherwise... I'm just biased to Silver Shadow.

Character are well written and well rounded. While, yes, there are multiple girls crushing on him, this isn't a harem. Mr. Main Character is monogamous to one person and he absolutely maintains this stance throughout.

The different settings and multiple challenges that Mr. Main Character has to face are interesting. Again, it isn't just combat. At one point, his interpersonal relationship skills are tested. Another point features him in the market - having to deal with jerks who are overpricing low-quality stuff because they hold the market in their hand.

So yeah, interesting plot points do happen and the overarching plot - the grand goal -> is appropriate enough to warrant a lot of the stuff that happens.
At the very end, the manhua leaves space for a future work, so it isn't entirely out of the question for another work that is in the same shared universe or something.

In the end, solid 8/10.

Smoking bad. Don't fall for the propaganda nor the peer pressure.
Why?
I already banged on about how monstrous "big cigar" is. Here's a more straightforward reason: it is expensive. A box of cartons of cigarettes is as expensive or more expensive than a brand new video game.

I read this a few months back and it seems I forgot to leave a review for it.

From what I remember: the start is ROUGH. Mr. Main Character is a big time villain and upon his final act -> he dies. Suddenly, he regresses back to when he was in school. Some comedy ensues as he tries to maintain his villain agenda but... things change. Because he's more mentally mature than he should be, and with some knowledge of the future -> he surprises himself and ends up becoming almost unrecognizable to even himself.

"Initialization" means "the preparation of a computer or similar device for operation, in which diagnostic tests are run and the operating system is loaded." This is actually pretty accurate as Mr. Main Character is prepared to become a villain; everything is set up and ready to go. What happens?

I remember thinking "wow, the author knows how to walk one path, but end up on another." You don't just casually see Mr. Main Character opting to become a good guy. He just does whatever he wants, with his usual intentions -> but ends up finding himself doing the right thing. The more you learn about him, the more you understand the rollercoaster of the manhua's beginning.

On the topic of the manhua's beginning, I found the start to be really rough and hard to get into. It was to the point that I dropped it, read some other completed works (plural), then came back to try again. I failed again, so I went to read other works again, then came back for a third try. Third try is the charm and I managed to get far enough to start enjoying it. For what it is worth, the manhua is pretty good and I'm glad I stuck with it.

Funny enough, part of the reason the start is so rough is that you have trouble making sense of it. It might be on purpose or maybe it's just badly put together -> buuuuuuuuuut after I finished reading this manhua, I went back and gave it another try -> and I found it to be pretty good.

I guess in the end I'd give it a great 8/10.

I called it!

Don't idealize it too much. Nothing in life is perfect. Yes, it is perfectly reasonable to seek someone you're compatible with. Just be willing to compromise with your partner - and they should be willing to compromise with you too.

I'm glad someone appreciates my opinions.

Here it comes! I think we're entering the final battle!

Probably wasn't planned. The plan was to "seal him back up from where he came" and that's about it.

Correct. This is from "The Gamer."
