Leo Lock, a reading addict with the ability to truly 'read' books, never really fit in his boring 'normal' world. However, everything changed when an unknown voice found its way to his head!

Fainting only to find himself in the body of a character from a fantasy novel he once read upon waking up, Leo barely processed his new reality before he was thrown into another whirlpool.

[Role: Reader]
[Target: Reach the Epilogue.]

The only lead he had about his 'transmigration' didn’t speak much! Even the character he took over already had a foot in the coffin! How was he supposed to survive that long? Why did he have to become the protagonist’s brother?!

Moreover, what was this Personal Book supposed to be? Reading Attributes? Points?

Follow Leo as he experiences the true life of a reader in a fantasy book, facing expected challenges, and encountering all kinds of 'new'…

Would he manage to go back and find out the reason behind his 'transmigration'? Was that even his purpose? Or was this nothing but the start of a much bigger change beyond the scope of his understanding…?

***

First Volume: The Sword Master’s Second Life
Second Volume: Murim Supremacy

Note: Yes, Leo starts out with a sword, but that isn’t the limit to his choice of weapons! Collapse

    Man, I'm so upset mc isn't using his wast knowledge base to set up an business. Why make him someone with potographic memory, avid reader and all kinds of skills from modern world when nothing is being done with it.
    It's just super frustrating. As long as he finds reliable "CEO", he wouldn't have to do anything but inject some ideas and information into the business once in a while.

      Because it’s pointless. He has power transcending human limits so there’s no point in monetary power.

    For those of you who read science and other technical stuff, you're probably going to get annoyed about the author talking about things they don't understand.

    I got to ch20 and the faults were just too consistent for me to hope it gets any better.

    Its fine if authors fudge and gloss over the details, especially when magic is involved, but if the premise is based on a bookworm who consumes all content and has many technical skills, while also delving into details, they'd better get it right or they're going to earn the ire of those who relate most to the MC.

    Well, I say that... but there's a pretty strong track record of movies and shows that revolve around ignorant portrayals of technical expertise or health conditions making bank, so from a standpoint of 'monetary success' it seems that cultural and experiential appropriation is 'right'.

    Then again, moneyed interests often do distasteful things.

      How can you make a fictional story sound soo... fake? We already go in with a certain amount of suspension of disbelief.
      That whole confrontation in chaps30-32 seems so fake. I don't know how to describe it other than the word fake.

      The user rating is 4.4 when am reading does it get better after some chaps, like fire mage has a very rough start it's like Walmart LOTM at the beginning, and after 40 chaps it is brilliant.

          yep its good but has a rough start, starting chapters 30~40 are written like by an amateur author, then it suddenly quality becomes professional and keeps going, some people had an issue with starting of the first arc, and if breeze through those chaps its great.

    It's a good novel but could be much better if the author have some more experience before wrote this book. Because the concept of the
    book is metalanguage you need some more attention for the nuances and details that an new author may not have. My opinion

    Hi, author here. So yeah, for those wondering how to read more of my lacking book, you can still read for free using fast passes at webnovel. I know this isn't optimal for a lot of people, but I hope you can continue to enjoy the book that way. >.> Cheers!

    For those wondering whether to read this or not, it's basically an infinity version of novel-insert novels. The pacing can be slow or fast at points, but I at least try to keep to the concept of a relatively smart mc. For those who like that kind of novels, feel free to give this a try!

    Review as of 197 chapters:
    This novel is very similar to fantasy simulator. The MC lives in main world and travels to various fantasy worlds and gains skills and attributes. These fantasy world are from fictional novels.

    The pace of the both stories is very similar. But, the main world of MC has had less screentime, compared to Fantasy simulator (beginning).

    Here the MC also has a 'reading' system. Its a typical system with slightly different names, like, spacial storage is 'reading space', skill proficiency is defined as chapter x/10.

    Till now the story has been interesting. The main world of MC also has possibilities of further plot development.

    Overall: 4/5 ⭐
