    WuxiaWorld is going to be releasing more Koren novels, and they want readers to vote on the order they release them. I think Webnovel has done something like this before?... Anyway, I gotta be honest. None of these sound particularly good just going by the synopses. Not that surprising, really, 'cause those things are always worthless.

    The one with the grandpa MC, Everyone is Young Except Me, sounds neat as a gimmick. Grandpa MC ftw!... But that's about all. ... Hmm.. Myoniyoni was translating Overlord of Blood and Iron, but I never read it and know nothing about it...

    Anyone actually know anything about these novels? Or should we just close our eyes and point to one on the screen?

    Overlord of blood and iron should get the second coming of glutony treatment and just come with the already translated chapter
    other than that all sound generic except the grampa mc

    The grandpa starts the game with a noble cause but how long before the granddaughter is forgotten?

    Moon’s labyrinth could be good but the description needs a lot of work. It’s too dull.

    Ranker’s return has got my interest. I do like game novels~

    I don't really know what to say. I find it harder for me to enjoy a Korean novel. I just cant seem to get through them nowadays especially if it has some sort of game element with EXP and skills. Maybe I'm just waiting for some new sort of Korean novel genre to peak my interest. It's like you read one with skills and exp and you've read them all. The story is pretty linear in all of them.

    @DocB is saying Overlord of Blood and Iron should release with previously translated chapters, like SCoG did, and just continue on. Instead of starting over. ... and also that the grandpa MC novel is the only one that doesn't sound generic.

    Any further questions? Comments? Concerns? Criticisms? Remarks? :blobpeek:

    I will probably try them all since they seem like stuff I would enjoy. I was liking Overlord when it was airing so we will see. I am always happy to have new novels to read.

    A female protagonist novel will be nice
    Translating a physically published novels even if it is self published will be nice.
    I won't read the above to be honest but when you have to funds, you should standout.
    You read one of these webnovels and you have read them all

    One Sword novel to rule them all ....in mediocrity.

    Korean webtoons are probably a better investment

    i wish they would have included the main genres of each novel so you at least know a little more about what its going to be like. cause just based off the description they all kind of sound like another one of the novels besides the grandpa mc one.

    Three of these are return to pasts. To be honest, the two novels where the MC is an overlord is more interesting than just another vrmmo with "unique" classes or some fuken dungeon crawler. People really enjoy reading PvE? Don't lie, vrmmo will always turn solo player if it has an OP MC.
    The reason why I think the overlord novels are more interesting is because the author already lays out the highest level of strength. I think just by that, the author has some actual outline he can work on.

    Dungeon Predator:
    Generic system garbage. Wouldnt be so bad if it wasnt blatantly obvious the MC will be op as fuck. I dont trust WNs with op MCs.

    OoBaI:
    Op character due to time travel. Largely depending on execution but the premise is weak due to it. Has oustanding potential however.

    GoDT:
    Literally the same as above.

    Moon's:
    Looks like it has potential. Again largely execution dependent but the MC might avoid being blatantly op and boring.

    Ranker:
    Worse than moons judged on the synopsis. MIGHT be good but I have my doubts on that one.

    Tomb Raider:
    On re-reading the synopsis it has poential, but imo less so than the two above.

    EiYEM:
    Synopsis breaks the world building already. Complete garbage. Won't bother.

    As you can see I only judge one of them beyond salvaging already. The rest has various amounts of potential but we can already see outlines of severely overpowered characters.

    Hmm I do like the Tomb Raider King webtoon.. And read some of Overlord of Blood and Iron.
    But I'm sort of unsure of the other ones; like yeah I love vmmorpg & second chance stories. Preferably I'd like a novel with comedy...like wished there were genres listed so I can make better judgement

    And kind of hard to look for the novels listed on wuxiaworld using google, especially since I like looking at the covers and genres first (now if only they'd list the genres that'd help though I can sort of guess based on summary)
    Overall I'm not very drawn to Game of Divine Thrones, based on survival theme & the cover; if it was major kingdom building then probably would reconsider though.
    I prefer Tomb Raider King over Overlord of Blood and Iron atm. Ranker's Return looks like there might be some comedy so probably that or Tomb Raider King hmmm.. Everyone is Young Except Me cover also looks pretty cool
