Awakened from a Nightmare

Why isn't this book popular? I think it will definitely become a hit if it continues to be written at this quality. The plot and writing style are quite good, but the timeline is moving too slowly. When I saw the protagonist leveling up, so much had already been written in just a few days... Overall, it's still difficult to find something that perfectly suits my taste. I'll give it a tip to show my support.

Some tropes are really annoying after a while. Pandora, as the largest power institution on the continent, always launches an operation without investigation, blindly rushing in, only to find themselves outnumbered, or even at a disadvantage, and then relying on the protagonist to turn the tide. It's unrealistic. In reality, how do you see police catching bad guys?

The setting is excellent, and the handling of clues is superb. There are very few idiot villains, but there are a lot of idiot female villains, which shows that the author is not very good at writing female characters. Actually, this is common in male-oriented works, so it is understandable. I really like the setting of this book.

This is too bland. A time traveler should hide their identity, become powerful, and forget about the National Security Bureau. They should create their own organization, stir up trouble behind the scenes, and show off – that's what a protagonist should be like. You're only fit for a minor role.

There is a major bug. There is no moon in this world. However, the time travelers communicated using lyrics containing the character for "moon". If there were no moon, how could there be the word "moon"? Furthermore, the world uses months and ten-day periods as cycles. Since there is no moon, where do the months come from?

I don't quite understand why they arranged for him to keep flirting with Hilly. There's no emotional foundation at all. He just helped her solve a staged accident, borrowed her car, and started flirting with her when he returned the car. At first, I thought it was just some flirtatious banter, but the more I read, the more something seemed off.

In every battle, the villains are always higher level than the officials, and the officials are always at a disadvantage. Damn it, I might as well just side with the villains!

I've always been puzzled by the setting of this book. Pandora, who controls the lifeline of energy and the strongest military force, has to survive in the cracks between the Federation and the wild Awakened. The provincial governor visiting the Inspectorate is like a high-ranking provincial official inspecting the Public Security Bureau in reality. This is the result of thousands of years of development. This setting is really against human nature and too out of place.

The game was excellent in the early stages, but became less appealing in the middle. The protagonist became a goofball, and I don't know if other players who were initially drawn in could accept his personality change. I'm just tired of goofy characters.
