Path to Transcendence - [Isekai/Litrpg]

I don't really post reviews but a special occasion is needed for novels like this this in my opinion this  is a masterpiece of work with action packed chapters with the surprising slice of life elements that blends SO WELL TOGETHER I can't really describe it but it adds so much character to the already interested story like this is the exact opposite of novels you know exactly what is going to happen within the first 10 chapters. every dose of this story just keeps you wanting to explore more of this world and Julian's future further more I am extremely excited to see where this is going to go and ready for the ride

Its a decent litRPG story. If you've read azarinth healer or defiance of the fall you'll probably like this too. MC is a smart, persistent maniac hand to hand fighter and part mage and is fearless who wants to protect the people he loves (nothing new). He's also strong for his tier and a masochist.

I quite like the power system and i think it has potential. No stats (which im tired of seeing). Only tier, abilities and another cool power concept which I'll not spoil.

The characters are nice though nothing too complicated, just average. There isnt alot of interactions or feelings at the beginning and frankly sometimes there are moments when authors wants to express the MC doing something but its not satisfying, idk what other way to say it. But aside from that the interaction between the mc and his friends is more realistic and fun to read.

If you're into magic and wanna see some cool power and interesting mana manipulations than I'd recommend to read this.

The MC loves himself some training.

And i love him for it.

I really like the story, in between the (insane) training there's time for more slice of lifey, people bits. The MC makes and maintains believable relationships and the people around him feel like actual people.

There are a "might makes right" people around but a lot less than most Xianxia stories, not everyone is a dick which is refreshing

This is one of my favorite books on RR right now. I really like the characters, the magic system is interesting, and the chapter are written at a fast pace so you don't have to wait too long for more chapters. I would highly recommend this book if you enjoy fantasy progression.

Overall really really good. Some grammatical errors along the way and plot holes that ended up being loose ends that have yet to be tied up. But it’s fun how the Mac keeps getting stronger and keeps meeting people treating people. The one thing I’d like to have answered is how the system came into being. That’s not really explored or explained.

I've read through Chap 202.  I have about a half-dozen tales I'm keeping up with.  I try out a lot of stories on RR and if they don't grab and hold my attention and have something fresh, then they're gone.  I think it says something that when I'm checking for updates this is the story I look forward to the most.  The MC is quirky and border-line certifiable, but is self-aware or at least capable of insight.  He is OP for his tier and youth, but is still a small fish in the wider more mature world.  

The beginning was great, action packed, leveling and adventuring, but once the school arc started, it’s been a simple slice of life story, nothing is happening, levels are being handed out like candy, but that’s about it.  Hopefully this arc would end soon, or something happens because it feels like the story is losing direction. There’s still the big bad Duke’s house, and many loose ends for the sstory to progress, it’s just that nothing momentous has happened for the last 50+ chapters at least.

Honestly I thought this was Chinese cultivation and it turned me off for like a month till i actually started to read it and my opinion on this changed it's good and interesting to read has a odd power system though but not bad and I like the characters a lot including the enemies 

Pretty entertaining book so far and looking forward to reading more.

I really don't like back to school arcs for the most part, especially all the info dumps and teenage drama, but this book probably does it the best I've read so far in it's ability to keep my attention.

MC and supporting cast is well written and the speed in which the MC develops skills is pretty entertaining.

Granted it is more on the young adult side of stories than I like, it kept me entertained from start to finish.

Keep it up!

Despite the many negative reviews about this novel I find it to be quite enjoyable to read. It definitely follows the more classic formulas of Litrpgs and the more 'average' form of progression, but if you enjoy following a slightly-shallow MC who is dedicated to growing stronger for the simplicity of being strong it can be a dull, but enjoyable, read.

The plot is o k for the most part. There is a iffy-start with his extremely short background into his reincarnation but it is partially ignorable for the few chapters of development he gets in his reincarnated life. I found it a bit weird that the transition between said lives was very jarring, in the sense that he's all depressed from his grandparents death who took care of him after his parents died in a car accident, into being happy a gust of wind blew him off of a cliff, into a timelapse of him training his newly found skills in his reincarinated life. It's like some things are added then forgotten.

The personality leaves much to be desired as well. He is pretty bland, showing emotion at random times like when he wants to become stronger, but not much emotion other than plain determination or unyielding stoicism. He has his moments of 'anger' but its really just saying that he's "angry," then unleashes his anger, and it's back to blank "I spent 20 hours training to get 2 level ups in this skill." I found his personality to be pretty bland and if he was a bit more detailed, cared a bit more, or had a different drive to grow stronger besides enjoying his life and getting that feeling of becoming 'strong', it would be a lot better of a read.

As of now where I am in the story he is just progressing to progress. It was enjoyable for many chapters but I find my interest waning as that's literally all he does for the last 30-40 chapters. It's very hard to stay engaged when each chapter is sort of a montage of him gaining skills over (x) time period or through his (x) excruciating training. Like, he even got a skill to numb pain and focus his senses to the point that he can cut off an arm, or like 8 arms, to try and improve his regeneration skill with 0 reaction. It takes a lot of entertainment and struggle out of the story which is basically necessary for a progression-type novel.

It has lots of 'good' elements with classic progression-style challenges and some hints of a greater universe and drive, but overall it just feels kind of empty. You may enjoy this if you want to turn off your brain for a while, but I find myself not really caring about any of the characters because they are so bland.
