Warning
The Manga currently has only 16 chapters as of me writing this review because of that this review will be updated when new chapters come out also this review will focus purely on the Manga and will not include anything from the Novel.
Imagine that youre a total Shutin a failure in the eyes of society you are on bad terms with your family and you havent walked out of the house for almost 2 years now... you always try to win online giveaways so you get deliveries quite often one day a weird package comes to you with an CD titled Village of Fate
Besides the CD is a Note which tells you the following :
You have been chosen to participate in our alpha test. Congratulations
This game has the latest AI builtin...
The game you received basically has characters that behave like normal beings and you will be basically a deity for them sounds weird and unrealistic right?
Thats what our MC though too at first to be fair who wouldnt think that this is a scam/virus?
The Note continues :
Please do not share the specifics of this game with anyone else.
Please do not share any of the details even online
If you break this agreement your privilege will be revoked and the game will be taken from you.
Great... so apparently this is a revolutionary game and you cant even share anything with anyone about it... now it sounds even more like a cheap scam.
So the MC basically receives a Village builder game but there is one twist added to it... if all of your villagers die you cant play it anymore.
Even though this all sounds a bit fishy our MC still tries the game on his old PC and is surprised when he founds out that the game looks almost real the Villagers are very advanced when it comes to Intelligence and understand his commands which he can give them once per day.
After a while our MC gets really attached to the Villagers in the game and does everything he can to help them out thanks to it he also begins to change for the better...

This was a brief summary of the first 12 chapters of the Manga I really think that the Story and the idea is a very interesting one Its something that Ive seen for the first time I really like the twist of him being a deity for the Villagers in Village of Fate and that he can only communicate with them once per day through a prophecy in a Bible the MC can also perform miracles by using miracle points which he gets by the Villagers believing in him and yes this game has microtransactions and also yes the MC uses his money to help the Village which I also like by helping the Village he gets to know them better and thanks to that he also begins to understand himself and what he has done wrong in this life I mean hes a 30 year old man still living with his Parents.
Art Characters
To be completely honest the art is nothing special just your usual Manga art style which is by no means a bad one Its just an art style that is often used in Manga.
I would give it a decent 8/10 for the Art because I like it the Manga so far is well paced and there isnt too much text so you can get through the first 16 chapters in about half an hour.
The Characters are basic but I like their personalities they really fit the Story and it helps the MC and the readers get attached to them and want them to succeed.
I dont really think you should read this for the art but for the very interesting story about a Shutin becoming a deity for a group of runaway Villagers just trying to survive with their gods blessing.
Closing Words
Although this Manga isnt too long for now and isnt updated that often I would still recommend it to you dear viewer the Story is full of potential and character development for the MC.
I really think this Manga deserves a 90/100 just for its great story and I really await further chapters so I can also update this review in the future.
