The character work has somehow gotten worse.
The MC only makes sense if we accept that he has dissociative identity disorder. The plot is on rails that disregard everything. The side characters are interchangeable and pointless. And this still needs a good editing.

This story is far too short to have this many mistakes
Broken sentences, confusion as to whether the MC is using a dagger, knife, or sword to fight happens many times. Bosses killed and yet no loot? All his good allies die every time? Dumb!.
The MC uses a knife to fight giant monsters?? Lame. Besides being too short the story needs major fixes, more describing of characters and situations for one thing. Go back and fix these issues and this might be a good book, maybe.

I read this since the first book was still short and I was curious to see if it would go anywhere unique compared to the stories it's imitating. I didn't really find what I was hoping for, so I'll be hopping off this series at this point.

Too many errors, lack of engaging story.
Would get about 3 stars without all of the spelling, grammar, and formatting mistakes.
There is no character development, unless you consider the MC killing more things and leveling super-fast. It's frustrating because it could be so much more with some decent editing and polish.

better than the last one
This reads like a Korean manwha. It’s not terrible but it’s not amazing either. It’s a guilty pleasure at best, a quick and action packed read at worst.

Fun take on solo leveling. poor editing.
It seems like the book was first written in third person and then a very slapdash effort was made to convert to first person. This really brought me out of the story very often.

This had to be translated, and badly.
The 1st book was fairly good. They obviously spent more to hire a good translator. This book, not so much. Author mixed 1st person and 3rd person narratives in the same sentence. This makes understanding what he is talking about very hard. This is why I think the book is translated. The original language must allow 1st and 3rd narratives to be used like this? As this didn't happen in the 1st book, I think this book was just ran through a cheap translator program.
If this book was not translated...then this writer has no idea how to use the English language. I did make it through this book, but to was an extremely annoying slog. I don't like the story and MC enough to fight my way through any more of these books. I can not recommend this series.

In book two, Sloan continues to defy expectations. He's leveling quicker than almost anyone in recorded history, but he has problems two.
For one, the police are on to him and want questions. This didn't make a lot of sense to me, because he's not the one responsible for what happens in most of the rifts. Still, it does add a twist.
For two, he has a big bad guy following him for reasons I won't explain. When they do meet it should be good.
Book one was fine if slightly odd because of the translation, but book two takes that to an entirely different level. The editing/translation is very poor, and I'm comparing that to some of the worst Russian LitRPG translations. The early books were not very good at all.
The story suffers at times as well because the translation uses words probably not intended. I don't know if this was translated by a person or Google, or some third option, but it took me out of the story multiple times as I tried to understand what the author was trying to say.
There isn't much of a plot here as Sloan takes advantages of any opportunity presented to him to enter rifts, kill the bad guys, or eat at Sara's diner. More than once I was confused as to what was happening, and eventually I decided it was easier to keep reading instead of trying to decipher what was intended.
I could give the book a lower score, but I'd like to see more Korean (I assume this is a Korean translation) in the years to come. 4/5* I doubt I will read book three.

A good effort but with issues
Volume 2 needs a re-edit. Perhaps a re-write on places. The story is still good but it lacks polish and is adhering far too closely to Solo Leveling in terms of plot.
The current state, close to release on Amazon has the following problems:
Switches between first person and third person, often in the same sentence. I.E. I did this with his dagger. When it should have been my dagger.
Lots of typos like coudl instead of could.
Sentences with words in the wrong place, or where author started to type something then decided to type something else.
More than once it felt there were pieces missing. A drinking guy from before is referenced. Flesh giants he fought before? He uses a sword but no idea where it came from.
At least two deaths could have been easily avoided, he uses one shadow to bring party members to safety but doesn't use the others to pull the other member up.
He says stay near a shadow for help but deliberately separates them and doesn't leave some nearby as guards.
Hopefully the author can give the novel a quick once over to clean it up.

First off, Happy New Year to everyone, with my first review of 2023. Unfortunately it isn't great, as I found this to be weaker than the first book. The reason seems obvious from the author's afterword, where he says he's writing as fast as he can.
There are a lot of inconsistencies in this book with odd shifts from first to third person perspective in the narrative. There are also some other incidences of stuff that was missed in editing, significantly more times than in book one.
Form a story quality perspective, this had some progress, but ended in a weird spot, throwing the overall pacing off. I'll likely read the 3rd one when it comes out, but hopefully a bit more time can be taken to polish it up before publication.

It's ok, it's just really bad grammer all the time, and the writing makes me think this was translated? The thoughts flow...wrong...sometimes. Like it was written in Japanese and then translated literally instead of by a fluent person who would smooth out some of the differences in cultural sayings. I like the story but man it's hard to follow sometimes and the pacing is all over the place. Sometimes you are moving along at 10 miles an hours, then 1, then 100, and on occasion teleporting (changing subjects so abruptly that no transition was used and the reader is confused).
But again, I like the story, just not polished enough to be selling it as a finished product in my opinion.

Entertaining with flaws
And mentioned in my first review the author or translator, I’m not sure, keeps switching between third person and first person perspectives throughout. It’s jarring. The MC, Sloan, is your typical OP character with no real defining features outside of his OP power and love for sandwiches. But despite all that I’m very interested In how he progresses on his quest for revenge. The relationships between other characters bare bones besides maybe the sandwich lady but obv I can’t even remember her name. Looking forward to the next book but not sure if I’ll stick with it.

Good Story bad System!
Overall this was a good story, the plot-line had echoes of a other very famous story line. But the system presented in this story is probably the worst system I have ever seen. First, the class of the character doesn’t seem to have any relevance on the characters abilities, other than granting a single special skill. No matter what class you are, you still get the same free stat points added to the stats each level. Plus going from one category (D to S) doesn’t seem to give you anything other than what type of dungeon you can go into. Unless the system has features that are hidden and not explained in the books. This system is pretty lame.

needs better proofreading
This story is interesting. Similar yet different from a popular webnovel and manhwa. It wasn’t horrible enough that I couldn’t finish it but both the last book and this one needs some editing and proofreading. In this one there was some continuity issues, plus first and second person errors then once we got into the last third of the book the errors just kept building up. If the author sees this review please re-edit your work. If the next book isn’t better structure wise I will have to start giving this work two stars or less.

likable character, plenty of action, too many red shirts.
Great storyline, plenty of action, OK, MC. The MC does not seem to have much of a personality. As far as I’m concerned it’s basically generic. There are too many red shirts in this book. You will see as you read it. Some characters could at least have been left standing especially Anya. The MC needs a sidekick or somebody to play off of to give him more humanity. Plenty of action great world building. Not too crazy on the summoner class but those who like it will enjoy this book.

January 6, 2023SOLO LEVELING redeemed
This book showed a LOT of inspiration from "solo leveling."
It's NOT a bad thing. I was disappointed by the long grind and hallow outcome of that story. Maybe this will help wash away some that and leave me with a better taste in my mouth.
(If it weren't for that, I would complain about the lack of human connection. Which was a problem with the aforementioned, but it's title... Anyways, I hope to see more human connections but definitely recommended to fan of the other story and especially those who wanted to read it but DIDN'T.)

January 10, 2023It needs an editor
This book is in the desperate need of an editor. There are run on sentences that I can deal with. But what I can't do with is 1st person and 3rd person be in the same sentence. There are some points it's in 1st person while it's a different person entirely talking rather than the main character. It was pretty bad throughout the entire book, but it got even worse at the last 5% of the book. Honestly with how bad it is and that last 5% I would think that this book was written by a middle schooler....

Enjoyable enough read, but I keep getting flashbacks to Solo Levelling I've read in the past. The MC has a similar class (necromancer vs summoner), uses it in a similar way (fighting with daggers, resurrecting monsters/enemies to gain an army) and it, like SL, contains portals. Furthermore, the MC has a rich friend (same as SL), last book includes the MC as a carrier who's fighting off a boss solo (identical to an earlier arc in SL) and there is a portal that upgrades to a higher rank after entering (you get the idea by now).
So while an interesting read, for me it borders on plagiarism.

A really fun story. Horrible editing.
I really enjoyed the second book in this series. It's really a novella in length but it's fast-paced and exciting to watch the main character struggle forward, mostly because real death follows him and affects everyone around him. The book was horribly edited, the worst being where half a chapter was repeated. I'm not sure how the author will be able to handle higher levels as logic and contradiction start happening. However I'm willing to dive into book three to find out.

Great story with interesting characters! Good second book!
Aside from a few spelling and grammatical errors throughout, the second book does as well as the first in sucking you in and making you want to read as fast as you can! Seeing the summons the main character aquires and meeting the new friends and foes developed along the way is as intriguing and enjoying as is the epic fights and crazy rift monsters! Keep up the good work! Loving it!!!!!!

love the story
Ok, I love the story and evolution of characters from first book through the second and now the third part.
I hate the wrong words being used, from the wrong person’s perspective we’re supposed to be viewing from. All books are heavily flawed this way.
But I would still recommend this series. It held my attention even through all the speed bumps. And I’m hungry for more!

System Reborn Volume 2 is of course, the second book in this series, and it's as crazy as the first one. The book ends rather spectacularly, so now I'm wondering what's in store for the next book, since it will be hard to top this one.
If you liked the first one, you should enjoy this one as well.

So many Rifts so little time. Sloan can't seem to catch a break. He goes in with a group and comes out by himself. He has a new friend other then the sandwich shop/cafe' owner Sara. Liam is trying to learn how to be a hunter. Sloan likes the kid so of course he's going to help. Red Rifts are nothing to scoff at.
I just want to say thanks to my daughter who got me started in this world of anime and light novels as she calls them.

way to short
Finished the book (short story) in couple of hours. The series has a great premise. However, this book didn’t progress the main storyline at all.
(Spoilers)**************
MC gained multiple levels and cleared a couple of rifts while managing to peeve off an S ranker ….that’s literally it for the entire book.

Actii, Action, Action
Sloan is on the track to gain more power. He keeps finding himself in situations that are more dangerous than they should be. As a result he keeps going up in rank. Battle and casualties ensure. I like the action, humor, and relationships of battle comrades. I look forward to the next book.

Short story
This is a short story probably less than 100 pages, story is decent, but lacks all the details that would make it really good, pretty much zero world or character building its essentially a series of event, still entertaining but lacks the depth to really get you engaged in the storyline.

Good story poor editing
I was enjoying the story but all the typos, grammar errors and extra words left in sentences made it hard to read, this book desperately needs an update. Still has elements borrowed from other books but seems to be slowly moving into its own story. Would give it a higher rating if the writing errors are removed.

dropped
January 6, 2023Dropped this because it was too similar to Solo Leveling (there is overall similarity and at 60% there is a plot line that seems exactly like Solo Leveling) with the quality of story and characters sadly nowhere near Solo Leveling. I have no problem with authors being inspired by popular stories, but if the writing is subpar it makes for a sadly unenjoyable reading experience.

a good read
This book was seemingly carefully written to not fall prey to the stereotypes that normally fit stories of this genre EXCEPT the main protagonist who is supposed to be an underdog kind of seems O.P and it really doesn’t fit with the vibe layed beforehand, otherwise interesting story

It really is a Solo Leveling ripoff
...but where the author can't do basic additjon or remember what he wrote previously. Is Liam's hair black or golden? Maybe you keep forgetting to wrote black since the character he's a copy of in solo leveling has golden hair, lmao.
Double spaced again so this book is like 180 pages, not almost 400.
