Someone once asked: What is stronger? Martial arts or Magic?

I answered: Why not simply use both?

In a new world brimming with possibilities—Levels, Classes, Skills, Dungeons, and Monsters—I found myself reborn as a noble family’s troublemaker son.

As a gamer, a magical world and a lazy life as a rich noble's son should have been a dream come true. But there was a massive catch. An absurd quest threw everything into chaos.

[Quest: Make a cult; Save the World.]

How could I, in the body of a useless noble, survive in a world dominated by jealous Gods and nefarious Devils, while treading on their domains?

Thankfully not all hope is lost. A few things can help me accomplish my quest.

A fiancee that also happens to be a vampire. A Magic Academy where I can find minions and allies. Finally—A Mysterious System.

Ok just to let you know this will be all FTB and not very spicy. But the story definitely is great. I enjoyed the Mc and the reincarnation aspect. Always love the useless or crippled body. The side characters could use some work on flushing them out. Great fight always epic big fights.

I really enjoyed the story.

so the story was good but it's nothing special or unique really. but if you like dying and being reborn in another world stories you'll like this. the performance was amazing and there was nothing specifically wrong with the story. I had a great amount of action. I just feel like this trope's been down a lot but they did it well

voice acting was great

This felt like 3 books for the price of one. I’m very much looking forward to the next one! The narrators truly enhanced the story. I really liked it and it’s a decent amount of time for your money/credit!

Immensely engaging

Parts had gawd awful writing. To start, the description is incredibly misleading. He doesn’t have magic at all. The financê is out of the story after the first 20mins except a few random mentions and then just a little in the end. The academy? He’s there only the last 10mins.

The fiancé’s mom mentions her once offhandedly like she had no clue about her then shortly after the mom somehow knows that the MC is engaged to her daughter…wtf. THEN without any development, everyone seems to know.
Then there’s the GRINGY names for every technique. These demigods “are so powerful they can destroy planets” yet their full power attacks just wreck a bunch of buildings.

The worst part of this all? The writer has a pretty good series going.

Not his best.

This series is what I imagine when I think cultivation series. There is great ground work laid in first book. I wouldn’t exactly say that it is FTB. I would generally say that there is no explicit scenes in this book. However, there is one or two love interest developing. If I had to peg it I would say maybe it’s a slow burn. I would say if you like the son of the hero king by the author, you’ll love this series.

This is one series you will want to check out!

Storie okay, if we got the whole story because there are some chapters left out. one example is the Wolf girl going into the haunted house hunting ghosts and all of a sudden it changes to a different place. There are tons of tropes but manageable. Overall not a credit wasted.

it's alright
