chinese vrmmorpg has completely different gameplay focus from korean, so i would think the comparisons would be more towards zhan long, or the VR trilogy rather than MLS and ark.
the chinese seem to be more interested in pk and server domination rather than completing quests, growing the character, and playing the actual game. and almost all of the ones being translated have harems. at this point, i can't tell if its the chinese who are obsessed with harems, or if the translators are all constantly horny adolescent boys. its the same with xianxai in general. either they all have harems, or those are the only ones the translators are interested in translating.
shura's wrath is a web novel. you don't read a web novel expecting any kind of actual literature. as long as its entertaining and not too disturbing its good enough. so far the evil bracelet thing has kept me interested enough to keep reading. it not my favorite chinese web novel but its not the worst either.

Disclaimer: I've finished reading all of this novel.

There is a reason why this is one of the highest voted chinese novel and the english translation isn't doing its justice.

First of all, let me make this clear, this novel will be much different than any of other "VRMMORPG" from Korea or Japan, and don't even compare it to those Ark/LMS, because they are much worse. A piece of advice, treat the whole RPG as an adventure instead of a game despite the focus of the early chapters was (a bit too much) on the RPG aspects.

The story was one of the most interesting stories I've ever read, the real world is often neglected in other novels but it was very well developed, shocking even. The RL was very focused in the novel and had a very interesting story that played out very well in the end. The author also isn't shy away from having the MC geting some actions (explicit even) with his harem which is very rare in japanese mangas/novels. Let's have a bit of spoiler about his harem, the number of his harem was around

So do yourself a favor and wait for the translation to get pass at least 200 chapters and start reading it since the start was very slow, I'd say the story picks up at around ch. 250. Please don't judge a novel from only 50 introduction chapters so far...

Minor beginning plot summary, spoiler:


Also it was regarded as Scifi but I think xianxia fits it better. IT WAS AS EPIC AS DBZ !!!

It has a goal (decent plot the minor glimpse behind the shadow makes one think of interesting plot)
Mc has decent mysterious background (some clues are mention all over the chapter)
Imouto justice! yes this is justice for the sake of not blood related classic thing

It's not inferior to other novels like Ark and TMLS

Although the game system is a little bit OP ( I mean it takes for ever to level)
and the game is not comparable to RL life unlike Ark and TMLS

But the background of my is a little bit similar to Shadow Rogue

There's a lot of VRMMORPG still for me 1st rank is Zhan Long

yet I can't judge this novel yet why?



still I have a good feeling about this novel
yet I can also feel that the pace would be rather slow (seriously 35 chapters to reach lv10)

Read up to ch 76.

Its really similar to Shadow Rogue (Novel). A very shallow story with some added smut. There is absolutely no connection to Dragon Ball, btw did I mention that the MC needs to find 13 orbs? The battle scenes will make you fall asleep, that's a bonus if you are an insomniac I guess.

Oh, and a story that supposedly gets "good" after 250 bad chapters can never ever be classified as good.
