[Apocalypse + intelligent characters + Sequences + no System + ensemble cast + no tired tropes + tightly paced plot + half-mad protagonist + the story really takes off around Chapter 20]
Li Muen was an overworked wage slave in the 21st century when he transmigrated to a parallel world where supernatural powers existed.
This world was a preserve run by gods. Everyone feared them and said they must never be profaned!
Then he received a mysterious letter and awakened the one-of-a-kind Sequence, Godslayer.
But there was a price: part of his three souls and seven spirits were missing, leaving him half-man, half-mad.
Li Muen rose from humble beginnings, gazing at the desolation of the world and the figure holding a sword.
“Li Muen, you ask why I fight?”
“Then look behind me! This sword of mine is called ‘Lights in a Thousand Homes’!”
Li Muen looked behind him. Lamps shone everywhere.
If that was so, then let his three souls and seven spirits return!
The gods must never be profaned?
In my eyes, how are you any different from ants?
Li Muen leads humanity to rise again, crushing one god after another beneath his feet.
(The pacing is unhurried at first. No instant gratification, no formulaic tropes. The story properly takes off from Chapter 20.)
(The protagonist gradually grows and changes his outlook and personality as he gains experience.)
