Here are the novel's pros and cons. Read carefully before beginning, so you don't end up dissatisfied and angry, because you're more than likely going to rant and I'm going to want to bang my head on the wall. 

Pros:
1. Reincarnation handled well. There is logic behind it and a relevant reason, though it is veiled behind some mystery. 
2. Dark themes. This is not a story of good guy saving the world and basking us villains in the light of his noble morals. It is dark (and unfortunately, sometimes edgy) story with things that would offend people of this era. If you're the type to be triggered, do not read. No one is forcing you to. 
3. Power couple. The MC and the FMC are extremely unique and possess a trait that makes them stand above all others, together and individually. 
4. Overpowered MC. This means no running away from enemies or always being the underdog. More than likely, you will sympathize with the enemies of the MC. 
5. Long chapters. Each chapter is 3000 words long, meaning that there is a lot of content in each of them. Sometimes there is fast-paced plot, sometimes there is dialogue and sometimes there are long soliloquies or narration/explanation/exposition in each of them. 
6. Non-scripted characters. One-dimensional or background characters do not say the same type of thing or act the same kind of way in every scene. More often than not, they will speak and act in ways you would find interesting.

Cons:
1. Annoying start. The first 15 or so chapters are 50-50 in terms of preference by readers. I started the novel in Jan 2019, having been off and on with it until August 2019. Those first few chapters have dialogue and actions that are of a typical CN and there are plot elements that might annoy you. After chapter 30 though, every single response I’ve received from readers are approval only, even up to the current chapter we’re on (114). 
2. Too many explanations. Sometimes I can abruptly pause the plot to explain what is going on, how it affects the world, the reason why the characters in that scene are doing what they’re doing and other technical details. Call it my own type of filler. 
3. Polyamory. There is a power couple and they are linked by fate, but there are other… ‘waifus’ who are there for varying reasons. There is a rule here, that the MC only ‘plays’ with very, very specific ‘waifus’ in the digital world, but is only sexually involved with his soulmate in the real world. Yes, she is aware and has no qualms. 
Note: This is not a harem. Harem means that there are multiple women who the MC is sexually involved with, and has feelings for. The MC has feelings for only one person and the rest are digital entities who serve one purpose or another. 
4. Plot holes. I am not ashamed to admit it, there are a few plot holes in the story. I fixed most of them, but some were so problematic that I had to roll with them. I recently got a story editor, so that was how I even found out. 
5. Fewer releases. My release rate is a constant 1 chap per day at the least with no exceptions, but some of you are used to 2-3 chaps a day from other authors. As I said above, I release 3k words a day, and those who release 2-3 chapters either have a length of 1.5k words or 1k words. So really, is there a difference? 


Here’s what to do before reading Guild Wars. 
1. Check the tags.
2. Read reviews (both negative and positive, I’ve replied to some of both).
3. Clear out assumptions and comparisons in your mind, otherwise you’d be ruining your experience. 
4. Keep the mentality of ‘this isn’t realistic’ out of your mind, this is fiction. What is real is what the novel wants to be real. Assess things based on the logic within the story if you truly want to immerse yourself.

Enjoy your experience!

when i read the reviews i honestly felt like i probably wouldn't like this novel but this novel, However i was pleasantly surprised by how much i've enjoyed it. The main character is likeable and has a visible depth and as the novel progresses his growth is obvious to the reader. There is intrigue, there is sex, there is drama. Everything is in this novel, and everything is well thought out and planned and any issues that are in the novel the author is very interactive and discusses them and remedies if need be. And tbh i cant really find any fault apart from minor grammar issues. And for all those who are wondering, NO. There is no NTR and should read the novel and see for yourself.

An elaborate story set in two conjoined worlds, virtual and reality come together to form the backdrop for one of the best VR-novel stories on this Website. The usual overdone Reincarnation genre gets to relive its glory years through this story. All described and outfitted by tasteful grammar and a superb writing style.


Now onto the meat of the review.
For the last week I had been searching for a new VR-novel, since most of the ones I'm enthralled with and am waiting on updates for have been on hiatus or are currently way too slow with their updates. There's a long list of novels in this exact genre I've read but the ones that match up to this one aren't many. Notable ones are:

-Phoenix Phire (Small hiatus should continue in a few weeks)
-Rise of the Undead Legion (Very slow with updating)
-Realm of Myths and Legends (Currently on hiatus)

If you've read any of the above then this one is a must have on your reading list. Vice versa aswell.

There's a lot to say for this novel and I'll try to keep it somewhat short, atleast for my standards.

The world is as I mentioned before very elaborate more so because both 'worlds'(VR and Reality) get explored and explained, however there's no long info dumps to be found. Everything has it's time and place beyond the initial introduction which feels easy to grasp whilst reading. Never at one point did I get annoyed by exposition. Both worlds feel as if they are filled with life and adventures/interesting things. 

One thing I like about VR-novels among other things are the Game-Elements and they are described beautifully here, with the proper appearance. Author seemingly puts a lot of effort into making sure the numbers add up and can always be found in the chapter comments if anything is incorrect or mixed up. 

Overall I really like the world-building of this Novel and it feels alive. There's a few Side-Stories added in showing other people's perspectives which help in that regard.

Characters come alive and feel genuine. Their feelings can be experienced and are played with by the Author in a realistic way. 

The main character has multiple personalities which after reincarnating and progressing through the story alter and change in regards to what happens in a realistic way. I usually don't really like characters which are at the utmost top of the Dao of shamelessness as many readers have called it but I find it passable, plus he doesn't use it a lot.

I feel like the interactions between Qion Qi(Think I'm writing this wrong ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ) are somewhat 'too' silly sometimes. There's only so many fart jokes which I can personally enjoy before that gets old, sometimes I wish he could just be the bad ass lion sidekick I imagine him to be instead of the comedic relief of the story. Even without him farting and such there's enough humor in the Novel to get around.

Author in the beginning got a lot of shit for the Female main character which I don't think he deserves. Admittedly I've come in after all the changes were made so I don't know exactly how the story was before but as it stands now I've never hated or disliked her. I actually like her drive and motivation, backstory and how she treats the people around her. I think she's well written. 

MC's guild is filled with fleshed out and loveable characters which I like reading Side-Stories about, aswell as interactions between them and the MC. 

His various love interests are the same, filled with different realistic emotions which keep them feeling alive. 

They add a lot to the story and I like that there's a few chapters worth of stories inbetween Arcs filled with conversations and interaction between them all.

---

Writing is superb and is easy to understand and get through, the reading experience is delightful. The editor(Devil's Advocate) does his job great aswell.

Anyways I need to cut it off here, can only have so much in a review, one day I'll get better at that.

Thanks for writing Author (◍•ᴗ•◍)✧*。
