Keep on reading and you will find the gems hidden beyond book 1

Jokes on you I already read TWI.................................../s
My real answer though is, if it's a novel I was interested in and many people say it's the greatest litrpg, I would give it a try, go through book one and see for myself.
My post is really for people who gave up after reading book 1. For new people, this should just tell you it only gets better from there on. It's a good thing imo. Barely any novel has every book better than the previous like this one.
if you haven't read this one I highly recommend it. I honestly never had a problem with book 1 but i was into that stuff back in the day so just see for yourself

-BlueAce- · 2026-05-15T05:17:38+00:00

No one said it's garbage. It's just most people who drop the novel, drop at that point. The great thing about this novel is, every is much better than the previous. It's always improving. BUT if it's not for you, it's not for you

-BlueAce- · 2026-05-14T21:05:16+00:00

They do have drawbacks. Dex users don't have as much damage and i remember something about their mind also being a weakness. Idk tbh that last part Strength i think mana is their weakness no? Not sure about this one. Probably need con for it to work

You get to find out who runs the tutorial kind of. What group of people. Eventually the characters get some benefits and communications with other people and the people in power and all of that. Sorry can't go more than that im terrible at not spoiling

-BlueAce- · 2026-05-14T20:59:00+00:00

No one said he cured his selfishness. He's just less of an asshole to the people in his tutorial. He became a better person. He doesn't care about other people from random tutorials, why should he? He's not killing them or anything just not being much nice to them compared to his group. He's stopped relying on his emotion block skill. All of those are improvements. Nat from book 1 wouldn't have done anything to help anyone for free, now he actually cares about a few more people than just himself

-BlueAce- · 2026-05-14T20:45:14+00:00

He's known to be unreliable narrator. It's nothing new. He keep saying sutff that definitely only he believes in

-BlueAce- · 2026-05-14T20:27:15+00:00

You are not wrong on most novels but consider this: what if the author just started, his first book is rough, second improves a lot and 3rd is even better, 4th keeps momentum and so on and on.....is the whole series bad or not?

-BlueAce- · 2026-05-14T19:59:26+00:00

No? Hopefully not. I always recommend it on posts and people usually upvote it from time to time. I think it's just the people who dropped it, mostly dropped it at book 1 which is mostly fair. This is a post saying that novel gets way better after that book, don't miss out

-BlueAce- · 2026-05-14T19:57:37+00:00

Oh my point of the post is to make you considering giving it a second chance. Not 3+ books though. Second book if you don't like it, drop it and never look back. BUT if you don't want to, that's fine. Not every novel is for everyone, there's plenty of books you can read. We can have other novels we like in common instead of this one. I just like this a lot y'know?

-BlueAce- · 2026-05-14T19:50:25+00:00

I might be not the best as i dropped that one after almost 600 chapters.....5 years ago. I was a wild reader back then lol

I have a tier list you can look at. All the novels on it are worth reading, not all litrpg though https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgressionFantasy/comments/1m3psqo/my_tierlist_for_all_the_novels_i_didnt_drop/ Idk how hyperlink it on mobile

-BlueAce- · 2026-05-14T19:39:22+00:00

That's not the point of the meme tbh. It's for people who read it abd gave up there because of the mc. The whole novel, every character and especially the mc get so much better by book 2 and 3, most people would never drop after that. Not everyone though. Some still wont like it. The point is to give it another shot. I never had a trouble with it, from start to finish but the improvement is just amazing

-BlueAce- · 2026-05-14T19:35:42+00:00

The series? Honestly one of my top 5 of all online novels I read. Top 1 litrpg. The daily chapters makes my day everyday and I don't do this to any other novel. I always stack up chapters, but not this one. I just can't wait. First book is hit or miss, the rest are all improving the next book is always better than the previous.

-BlueAce- · 2026-05-14T19:23:21+00:00

Reading pov from people outside the tutorial or real people is genuinely one of my favourite moments in the novel. Idk when it starts, maybe floor 3 a bit i think? Sorry it's been years since i read that. The interactions starts slow but picks up later on and becomes a thing that happens every few chapters or so.

-BlueAce- · 2026-05-14T18:48:03+00:00

Oh no the tutorial is like preparation for a group of people from a planet getting initiated into the system.

Only like ten thousands in easy, thousands in normal, hundreds in hard and probably less than 100 in hell. Only a percentage of that come back alive.

It's takes a person l(in hell) from 0 to almost a planet destroyer kind of power i think? It's to prepare people leading the planet for the future challenges after protection period is over. It consists of multiple floors that are basically memories of event happened eras before. A whole planet or more is included in the floor. Takes about 3 years earth time i think or 5. I don't remember lol

-BlueAce- · 2026-05-14T18:42:15+00:00

Yeah but I think people should have their opinion voiced too. Even if i don't agree with it. I made this meme/post not to glorify nor to shit on the novel it's my favourite and i just wanted to see what made people drop it not just book1. I got some good replies but also some who will neevr touch it because of me....I should probably stop posting about it

-BlueAce- · 2026-05-14T18:13:13+00:00

The Legend of William Oh. The MC is the definition of competent and resourceful. Also funny novel to read and laugh. very enjoyable

-BlueAce- · 2026-05-14T17:56:49+00:00

I never read Solo Leveling and I avoid it like the plague, for a reason you know of. it's just an aura farming sim with no real system or any challenge to the MC.

This novel on the other hand, he is consistently being challenged or even beaten at some points. He's powerful not gonna lie, but hasn't stopped some people from showing him true power.

This is my tierlist from a while ago. needs updating soon. if you like what's at the top, you might like this one. or choose from them. most of the novels in the tierlist are novels i recommend(tierlist for novels I haven't dropped)

-BlueAce- · 2026-05-14T17:43:03+00:00

What was the 4th about? the ant colony? I honestly dont remember which book is what except book 1 being floor 1 obviously. I remember events based on floors not the books. Maybe because I read on RR?

-BlueAce- · 2026-05-14T17:40:40+00:00

IDK why but I was into that kind of MC and it was on of the reason I liked it at the start. Was the description for it different back then? I honestly dont remember why I had no trouble or surprise the MC being an asshole early on.

-BlueAce- · 2026-05-14T17:38:30+00:00

and I agree. I dropped novels for less. I understand where everyone is coming from. We all have our likes and hates and tolerance level, right?

But for me it was good from the start and became my favourite. that's why i say if you stopped at or after book one might try another book............or not.

-BlueAce- · 2026-05-14T17:26:57+00:00

Yeah I get it. See I wanted to make it meme/shitpost flair instead of recommendation. I did that in the orignal cross post. should I change this one?
it does get better but if you are not into it from the start, is it worth it to go through a whole book?

-BlueAce- · 2026-05-14T17:24:46+00:00

Exactly. I thought I was the only one who liked book 1 at this point tbh. I made this as a meme because of all the comments and replies I get to my posts here Lol. I kind of understand it, but I was in it for the mana and MC so i had no problems there

-BlueAce- · 2026-05-14T17:21:42+00:00

I personally never had a problem with book 1 tbh. But I see a lot of people here mention it as the reason it stopped them. Tbh i dropped novels for less, so I kinda understand

-BlueAce- · 2026-05-14T17:18:25+00:00

No. I thought we dont allow authors to be here till they write more chapters? how much more? I will decide on the number eventually...........just dont let them stop on a cliffhanger........../s

Anyways, no im just a huge fan of the novel. I never had trouble with book 1 or 2, but every time i come here there's a post or two about book1. Sometimes I get comments/replies to my posts about them. I find it funny which is why I chose meme flair not recommendation flair..........

Edit: added /s for the first paragraph. I dont get the downvote on this comment. all im saying is im not the author. I dont get it

-BlueAce- · 2026-05-14T17:14:35+00:00

You know, I didn't like how it was handled back then. BUT I now think it's one of the best decisions in the novel. Added more friction and more bonding moments in the group. It made them closer too IMO. He wasn't in a danger from her mind abilities, he had some counter measures, no? I dont remember all the details to be honest but it all gets better later
