With the rise of a popular RPG called Tianyong Game, its max-level players called "awakeners" have come to dominate the real world in terms of wealth and power. Despite Ling Ce's natural talent for the game, it's nearly impossible for him to catch up to these players because he started playing the game a year after its release. But as luck would have it, a glitch in the game's teleportation system takes him back three years into the past with his memories intact. Now, Ling Ce is determined to utilize his knowledge and experiences to become an awakener and turn his life around. No amount of carnivorous plant monsters or insanity level dungeons will stop the determined hero from reaching the peak! (Source: Tappytoon)

Read the full take

A talented player starts a popular RPG a year after its release, so he is far behind the elite players who now dominate the real world. A glitch sends him back three years with his memories intact. The premise is a satisfying second chance in a virtual-world setting.The strongest element is the catch-up drive. The lead's determination to close the gap gives the story a clear, enjoyable goal, and the dungeon action shows his growing strength. The full colour brings the virtual world to life.The weakness is repetition. Game-regression stories follow a set formula, and across 359 chapters the rhythm can feel familiar. The real-world consequences of the game are present but less developed than the progression.If you enjoy progression stories with a virtual-world backdrop, it is a solid pick. It is driven and steady. Expect dungeon grinding, a determined player and a story about closing a gap that looked impossible.
