I have decided to write my second review after having 63 chapters so far and I want to let you know a few things. One, this is my first novel so it's not a surprised for you to see so many flaws in it. Two, I never written a novel chapter format before but I have learned as I continue to write more. Now let's go to the pros and cons of this novel. Pros Stability in update of course is great and the storyline is unique in it's own way as the protagonist does not "follow the book" rules. It has some comedies and light-heart moment in a serious situation. The MC may seem like a simp but he's not because he has no lover like many male out there. Therefore, it's hard to know how to act around a female considering his inexperience. Not much pros as this novel is just the beginning of me writing in an impulse. Cons Let's say the grammars and tense could really make the story a bit confusing but smart readers should understand my meaning. Of course, if you found some wrong use of tense, do let me know so I can fix it and not look like a fool. The POV aka point of view does changes multiple time through out the novel but as I'm writing this review now. I have fully decided to get rid of the first POV to third POV as it's easier and gives me a wider range in story telling. The fight scene are not that great given I don't specialize nor have experience in how to portray one. But I will try my best to improve it and please be lenient for once. Overall, I didn't rate myself highly since most of the category is either a 3 star or 4star except for my stability of updates. I just hope you will give me a chance as a new writer in here. Thank you for reading my really long review. (However, a review should be this long to begin with xD)

I don't want to bash you in, like the other guy did on his review. i know this is your first novel and your still improving but am gonna have to drop. Your mc is just way to annoying, i really did try and read more, but at this point am just skimming through chapters. (Mc problems) 1: The fact the he actually paid for the wand that was disposable was just bad, he could have still made excuses or try to haggle over the wand, you think he would learn a thing or two over haggling because he grew in that type of environment, but no, He didn't. 2: Some what the same problem, butcher guy was to ripping him off but as soon as he thought that the butcher guy was helping him with the girl, he dropped everything thing because he thought he was a "man of culture" for helping him with the girl. 3: MOST ANNOYING PROBLEM OF THEM ALL! Annoying simp mc, Jesus Christ the first pretty girl that he meets he instantly goes monke mode for her, I can't imagine what would happen when he meets someone like a Princess or a Queen, that look more beautiful than her or some other higher being that's more beautiful.
This is the author here writing his review. Of course I be rating myself 5 star because it my novel. Although I may sound confident, this is my first novel ever written and I tried to include multiple genres into the story to be more interesting. After writing each chapter, I would use a reader's perspective to read and see what is wrong and how it should be improved. Sometime, I would find typos or a line does not fit so I would go back to Inkstone to fix the mistake and re-update it.
Its better than other novels, just not by much. I find the MC obnoxious and his actions dont really make much sense. Theres quite a few tropes in this novel that i personally find extremely obnoxious, i.e MC goes nuts for random girl #7, the world building is alright, but nothing to fawn over, and the English is confusing but not hard to read. Overall its average, but as the author stated, this is their first novel so its to be expected. Pretty good for a first novel. Though, I will be dropping it because of the tropes. I personally cant stand them.
It is a very generic novel, the author at least in the first phase did not bother to explain things, he was simply writing superficially and quickly, in my opinion there was a lack of writing with more details and explanations, as it took only 2 chapters and the MC he goes from an ordinary human who planned the death of his parents and committed suicide (he was aware of his luck, money and escape were possible) to a great powerful magician. I reading, but it is more out of false hope that the author leaves aside worn clichés and a little attention to detail and originality.
As I was reading I was pleasantly surprised by the easy flow of the story. It's easy to read and I didn't have to go over the same sentence/paragraph twice to understand what the author was trying to say. There is good pacing, and the paragraphs were nicely aligned. It tells me that the author has already grasped the basics of writing and has the potential for improvement in the future. The author should give themselves a pat in the back. Now for the cons: For most new writers when writing in the first person POV they do tend to overuse inner monologues as opposed to utilizing gestures and facial expressions as hints to the character's inner turmoils. Verbs such as frowning, smirking can also indicate mood. I would also like to see more active sentences rather than passive ones; it makes me more emotionally engaged. Overall it is a very good story and a worthwhile read. Other than the writing which has room for growth, the character development, world-building, and plot progression is intriguing and makes you hooked onto the story. Good job!
Author should really delete these 2-3 star spam reviews with no actual review in them, it lowers the rating despite how many people enjoy the novel. Those who’ve made critic comments make fair points, if you somehow get to my review first you should take them into consideration. Always remember : if you dont like the novel then you can always leave it This is also a personal guideline, any novel below 4.5 is an easy pass
As a newbie, the author has done a tremendous job. Just read few chapters and I am hooked to it. It is truly an amazing read. From what I read, this novel is like a sun ray in a sky filled with dark clouds. The descriptions, plots, characters everything is really good, except some errors, but those can be edited later. I would surely recommend this novel anyone who enjoys reading fantasy novels, just like me😉
I like how the story is shaping up. He has an OP attribute in the form of luck, which is quite unique. I can also see the improvements in your writing quality. The one thing I want to see is some kind of a rule around how his luck works. As far I have read, he doesn't seem to be lucky everywhere he goes. When does it activate? What are its limitations? Those are some of the things I would like to see.
This is a great fun adventure read. I don't know what that other reviewer is whinging about the protagonist being annoying. I found him hilarious. His personality makes this story much more humorous and refreshing than your average webnovel. Also had to feel for the poor guy, hated by his own shoddy parents for apparently bringing them bad luck. I can fully understand him hating them and being happy they're dead. I enjoyed reading his adventures in the fictional world he soon finds himself in. Here's hoping he pulls through and makes the hot girl his wife haha. From a technical standpoint, the writing is of a good quality with minimal typos and the prose flows nicely. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a good fun adventure story with plenty of humor.
