About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tough, game-like fantasy about earning progress the hard way and watching steady growth over time; Not for you if you dislike grinding-heavy stories like By the Grace of the Gods.

Pros: high-stakes progression; underdog power climb; game-like challenge | Cons: familiar isekai setup; slow early growth; lots of grinding
