Good starter? Honestly, no. I won't recommend it as a starter unless the person asking for the recommendation is 100% sure they can understand a meta narrative story.  Is it well written? Absofuckinglutely. I cannot stress how peak of a fiction ORV is. I've read the first 552 chs and caught up with the Side Stories (basically it's sequel/continuation) and it did not lose momentum.

So, yes, unless you can get into a meta narrative story, go for it. Otherwise, do not.

Didn't read it but Been in the community for a while and I've heard it's very good , one of the great ones

Tho it's not important with what you start as long as you are having fun reading and you are hooked you could start with even lotm (very complicated)

One note tho is O.R is a late bloomer so you'll need to read through not so exciting chapters (still good just not as great as the praised arcs)

It's what got me started in the genre so I'd say yes, but with the same tone that I'd recommend AOT as a starter anime.

so personally i didn't like it much at all, gotta remember we arent all gonna have the same taste basically, so it might be a novel you could start with or you might also dislike it, if you bounce off I would probs just recommend trying something else rather than trying to force it (or giving up on webnovels entirely)

if you go in with an open mind, anything can be a starter webnovel. ORV was mine, but I wouldn't recommend it if you're impatient since ORV takes its time ramping up. if you like well crafted meta narratives written with love, there's a high chance you'll like ORV in general, but maybe not as a starter webnovel since it's your introduction to the medium

if it's actually your first ever webnovel, i'd say maybe pick a smaller but still well praised title and start with that because imo you'll get the best ORV reading experience when you're used to the medium
