Interesting story if you keep at it find myself waiting for new chapters all the time would be a great story to be animated if you asked me
Idk if its only me.... But the cover gives me Pirates of Caribbean vibes...
Me coming here thinking it's about an actual butcher the Micheal Myers kind
Rank: C+
I find this story very interesting not your usual Mc gets overpowered and dominates kinda story the world building is interesting and the characters have to use their wits in unique and interesting ways
It's not even bad, the world building is great., it's just that you don't care for any of the characters.There is no real problem with their contract, just their characters ingame, which they find loophole, overrall their condition are descent so no satisfaction in screwing the compagny over. Chapter 44, dropping for now.
muy entretenido e interesante
Some May Love Or Hate This...I Tried Reading It But It Not My Cup Of Tea...Am Just Lost By The First 6 Chapters
Haven’t read that far yet, but I can say that while I think it’s good, I believe most readers here won’t like it.A lot of freedom is taken away from MCs, and the plot of the story is them trying to use the scraps left to them to be proper adventurers.Kinda slow, kinda annoying, but interesting and well-written

Milo lives in a steel cave within a man-made mountain of steel and concrete. He spends his days repairing the machinery that keeps the habitat livable and tinkering with the prosthetics that help his twisted body move about through the small tunnels and air shafts that are his world. He's as much a piece of discarded machinery as the equipment he keeps running. Given a chance at being someone different will he become a hero and live in the sunlight? The light beckons, but there are secrets buried in the ground. Ancient mysteries left by races that delved deep and stayed below. Maybe only a tunnel rat could find them? Collapse

I'm up to ch175 and loving it. Fantastically crafted story and characters. It's both serious and silly. A fairly grim world (well two worlds) but at the same time the story doesn't take itself so seriously all the time. It manages it well with a good balance of both.And it manages to keep the comedy both fresh, subtle, absurd and normalized. I typically can't stand most comedic stories because it usually ends up with memes constantly over the top, becoming major nonsensical plot points and beaten until it's dead.Tunnel Rat manages it into an enjoyable companion which aids the progression of the plot rather than leading and replacing it.And the lore is both rich and consistent, as are the physics of both machines and magic. The terminology isn't just novel gobledigook slapped together but close enough to IRL terms and meanings that even I, an engineer, am not bothered by it like I am with majority of stories on here.Definitely worth a read.
It’s a very wierd story, or should I say a story that isn’t of the usual norm. Like who makes the main character a rat? Especially a deformed one. XDOverall tho, the plot and world building, both real and virtual is very interesting. I found it to be a nice story. There are many small cons like some chapters being just about the stats of the player, however, I’ll still give this a 4/5 or 3.9/5.
This so confusing, it starts out dealing with a vault like dwelling living, then vr gaming, AI controll things and people who live out of the vault dwellings. To much is crammed into this story.
imagine being a rat
Rats are pretty neat. Very smart. And not at all as dirty as they're often portrayed. They're just prone to disease because of how successfull a species they are at surviving in all kinds of environments, and any species that reaches a certain density of population is liable to get ravaged by disease. *cough* covid *cough*

It's most likely a bot. He not only copies the novel, but also its assessment from the source site. If you need to put an integer (3,4,5) then vote 1 time, and if fractional (4.5, 3.5) then vote several times to display the average number as it should. (I translate with Google, sorry ^^)
Who is the person giving 3-star ratings to the new Novels please leave a review. I would appreciate it
I heard from some comments that it is the lord of ranobes himself when he thinks those novels are mid and not truly worth like 4.5+ stars
He just gives every novel 3 stars so the first vote won’t sway the ratings too much and influence potential readers
