Paladin of the Dead God

mediocre at best. its your generic 'the bad guy did this, but the MC had already planned for that ', this keeps happening over and over again that it just started p*ss*ng me off

Great story that is very unique, has some slow parts and sometimes it drags on way to long which I guess isn't too bad of a thing since its mostly all action but it's nice to have breaks and peace every now and then.

Hard to come by, but the rating and ranking actually make sense (4. 3 n 210 rating). Pacing is relatively slow and update timings are all over the place. (For me) The concept is quite fresh and the plot, albeit basic at the bones, have enough interesting events and is thought out relatively well enough that you'll be able to remember the plot across the inconsistent updates. Characters are alright, most are well thought out. However, it is exactly the pacing that made me drop half star. Over 300 chaps and we have barely started on the main event (I think?) Some plot points were also very questionable and sometimes outright unnecessary. -ramble- The other half a star? WHERE IS MY ROMANCE AND OBSESSIVE LOVE???? 300+ chaps and we have around 10-20 chaps containing romance, and the progress is TERRIBLE. Although they did bang in their dreams. That don't count cause literally zero progress after that point. BOY I read this cause it said romance without harem. WHERE IS MY ROMANCE?

World building is decently good, and the romance does feel a little rushed i would give 4. 5 if possible. The mc is smart and he uses his abilities well. That's about all I can really say.

Hmm. . it's above average. Maybe worth top 100(if finished with a good ending). Power system is 9/10. Very in-depth, in my opinion. Romance is 7. 5/10. A bit rushed, but not the focus. Plot/schemes is 10/10. Man is a smart fella. Action is 9/10. Very much engaging. Mysteries is 9/10. Can history be changed?

This novel is really good. Yes, it has a fast pace, but it manages that pace rather well, which lets you follow along easily. The concepts in the story are fascinating, and there are still a number of mysteries in the story that need discovering, which keeps us at the edge of our seats, hoping for more. All in all, very good novel, would recommend it for others to read.

Everything was good until in later part the protagonist is reverse rap** by the fmc and this was unexpected and I hate rap* in general beware future readers.

As someone who just finished the most recent chapter, I can confidently say that this is a fantastic story. I would say it's three biggest strengths that differentiate this novel from trash power/isekai/game fantasies are the design/consistency of the MC, the quality of the fighting, and the natural flow of the plot. Firstly, the MC is highly intelligent, and not in a "I can guess everything via plot armor and draw wild conclusions out of my *ss that allow me to uno reverse anyone I fight" sort of way. He makes logical deductions based on well described information, recognizes his own weaknesses, actively ensures his safety and future in an intelligent way (not the classic "I can make god tier potions but instead of selling them ill just trash them and treat it as practice"). Ultimately the fantastic character design gives us an MC who we can cheer for, he works hard, has talent, creates humor in the story, and makes every arc an enjoyable and significant experience, NO TRASH FILLER! Secondly, the quality of the fighting. There's not much I need to explain here; the fighting is good. Power levels are consistent and reasonable, a sword art from a decent knight in the hands of a novice. . . does decent, a sword art created by the user, trained for years and improved with killing intent, sword aura, and the blood of its enemies performs excellently. . . until you're fighting an literal angel specializing in sword arts with 100's of years of experience. The descriptions are good, though fights don't tend to be particularly drawn out, and everyone has fighting IQ, they're not all just falling for the same tricks over and over and impaling themselves on the MC's weapons. Third, the flow of the plot. This novel has next to no filler. The MC is constantly improving their social position, physical condition, techniques, or gathering information. Every fight is for a reason, characters are introduced on the regular, whether or not the author intends to keep them around (prevents the predictable plots which occur when author only takes the time to develop the backstory of the main cast and uses them repeatedly). The MC is using his previous knowledge to search for artifacts and deal with critical events, constantly gaining progress towards his end goal. These events are not forced, there is no "walk 500 steps this way, climb this rock, smack this branch, and pick up the holy sword that falls out of the tree!" sort of BS. The game the MC's knowledge comes from is "well designed" in the fact he can't just run around grabbing mythical artifacts and exploiting bugs to strengthen himself; he needs to actually resolve issues, often which have more information than the game had, and learning new information. It excites me to see how the author intends to tie the isekai aspect of this novel into the rest of the setting. Ultimately, this novel is excellent. The characters are great, the victories are hard fought, the plot is fast but very reasonable with natural time skips, and the writing is just dandy. I can't wait to see where this novel goes and would 10/10 recommend to anyone out there reading this.

Excellent story progression. The protagonist takes time to be Overpowered and doesn't immediately gain strength because of an old God's influence. He trains and needs to learn things and keep his actual strengths hidden whilst still being powerful enough to not come off as a complete pushover like the protags of certain novels where the power hiding makes them look weak. Overall, amazing. Would recommend.

it's a great story. won't compare it to any other novel as of now since there aren't many people who have reviewed it. The plot differs from anty generic novel from chapter 20-30ish onwards. it is definitely on my list of peak novel I'll tell ya.
