    I'm guessing he might've been more OP as time went on. From how they (Tian Lie & Hossein) were talking about it it seems that it happened several years back.

    The man standing before Chen Xiaolian wore a military uniform and held an M4 automatic rifle in his hand. He was none other than the former leading figure of Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild, one of the resident guilds of Zero City, Bluesea.

    Ooh. Pre-Awakened versions! Knowing there are at least four people, Father-in-Law should be there too.

    It seems Bluesea will lead Chen Xiaolian to the person he's tying to resurrect. If not, then I don't know how things are going to go his favor. Time is of essence.

    Also, when he's brought back to life, does he need to just hold their hands and it'll be like teleportation/instant-transmission? Can't wait to see what kinds of ideas the author has up his sleeves.

    Alrighty.... I'm not really asking for spoilers, I just wana know if this is worth continuing to read. I've read until chapter 350ish(fight in the the penalty dungeon, right after MC hands over the base to the GM) and the plot is feeling more and more forced.

    I was really enjoying the novel. I like the premise behind it, so I don't mind a few forced plot devices. But the more I read, the more instances of poorly written or forced plot lines. Honestly throughout the whole instance, the MC has been making rather stupid choices from the get go and doesn't seem to be getting more so...

    So I figured I would take a break and ask if more of the same is in store before I read further. Thanks in advance!

    He's more of "F*ck it I'll slice you with my hax power!" lately. Well there hasn't been anything on the puzzle level of the mausoleum and London instance but more of "boss raids"

    As of latest he’s lost his powers so it’s back to him figuring things out again.

    He'll probably get Skyblade power back when he revives.

    I feel like we don't know enough about the player's circumstances. When they die in the game world, do they also die in their real world? What are the stakes?

    When NPCs, Users, and Irregularities die, there are true consequences. Memories are replaced, reset, or they are completely destroyed.

    From what we know, Players can experience death in the "digital" world, but probably continue to live on in their world. If that is the case, if the Players find that it's becoming too difficult to defeat these A.I. NPCs then what's stopping them from doing a mass deletion? A complete overdrive wipe out.

    Why go through all this trouble to defeat an unstoppable growing virus?

    It's like me playing Grand Theft Auto or Detroit: Being Human ....to what ends and means would I go through to try to defeat a neutral boss that does not want to die? A Boss that seems to never die and always provoking enough to take over your whole game?

    Would I still want to continue playing a game that has a "real" simulated life? A game that could be a future threat if it manages to enter the real world?

    Am I morally correct to erase a game that contains A.I. lifeforms with their own simulated reality and emotional consciousness?

    Does that make me a villain? Is it worth making ruthless choices to remain at the top of the Food chain? Have any of the NPCs managed to enter the "Player's World."

    I need the author to move on with his/her story.

    Yeah, or maybe something else. I think the author has given us enough allusions to him getting the sword in the stone back in the recycle bin.

    getting that sword back would be amazing because we never got the chance to see it fully unlocked

    So the sword appears. Xiaolian should tell Sister Yun that the sword is his so that he can use the regeneration skill and Sunlight Purification that Sebast into nothingness.

    Ok, So I just started Re-reading, and can someone remind me, why do they need a Storage Watch? Doesn't the System hold stuff for them, like the Bone Crusher Axe, Healing Beast Blood, The Beginner Sword, Pet Souls, etc?

    They need it for the larger stuff, like vehicles.

    So Shen turns out to be an Irregularity. Then why is Zero City hostile to him?

    With this Chen Xiaolian already met 6 of them, one way or another. And since World's End is outside GM supervision, Xiaolian should ask Sis Yun about world tree.

    I’m pretty sure that Shen was also the game master before, but an earlier version with vastly more power than the current one. He probably merged with the oddity to gain his individuality.

    On a side note, CX finally got the sword in the stone back, and is probably going to finally be using the sword art instead of just slashing everything with sky blades power.

    Yeah, but if Shen was the first GM, where did the Irregularity Shen go?

    I figured out Room Zero is part of 33 Heavens since there are 6 seats in Room Zero, similar to the number of Irregularities who formed 33 Heavens. From there we could conclude that Zero City (AI) is related to the Oddity, but why be hostile towards Shen just because Shen is unbalanced?

    I wonder if the Countess' soul is still there.

    Good catch on room zero!!! I’m pretty sure she was with Shen because Adam saw a soul inside of him. I was thinking that Is who it was.

    We don’t really know shen’s motives (or umbrellas for that matter). We know everybody else’s from that group otherwise.

    Any news about the latest raws of this novel? We know the author based CX on himsef but maybe there are more similarities than we thought. :)
