[An absolute gem] My Alter Ego's Path to Greatness

Premise: the MC splits off avatars (clones) and drops each into a different ruined, apocalyptic world, then you watch every one claw its way up from nothing to actually saving that world. What sells it is the patience. The pacing is slow but deliberate: each dimension gets its own disasters, its own civilizations, its own payoff, and it pulls in EVERYTHING (elves, dragons, cyborgs, far-future tech) without ever feeling like a mess.

The thing that keeps the clones from reading as filler is the karma race underneath it all (highest karma → godhood), so every avatar's arc actually feeds the bigger picture.

Fair warning: there's no active translation right now, it's MTL-only. But if you liked the "invade / save other worlds" spine of Warlock of the Magus World and want something more sprawling, it's worth the MTL pain. An absolute gem. 4.5/5, the half-point off is purely the translation situation.

the translator dropped this years ago and it's genuinely criminal, it deserves a real team

korean MTL is rough compared to chinese but the world-building carries it honestly

the karma-to-godhood system is EXACTLY what makes the clones matter instead of being filler

gave the AI-translation route a shot recently and it's actually readable now, try it

if you liked Warlock of the Magus World's world-hopping this scratches it but way bigger

slow burn done RIGHT, the payoffs land because the story actually earns them
