FailedWriter101?
My. Foot.
So yeah, I stated the author was just a new author in my previous review. And I wasn't exactly wrong. But new facts have come to light that has made me review my opinion.
The level of improvement this author has shown cannot be explained unless he is a 1000yr old master who is regaining his abilities after a long period of rest.
The novel has shown such a stark improvement in the past month or so that I am left bewildered. So yeah, I stated this was a novel with good potential in my previous review. But so were 100s of other extra novels I have seen fail.
But contrary to his pen name, this author has been an enormous success. The rate at which his popularity shot up is comparable to how well Extra's Descent did at its early stages.
Could this novel be the second coming of ED(Extra's Descent)? Or wait, THIS NOVEL IS ED(Extra's Death). Oh my, oh my, do I smell a connection here?
Mayhaps, mayhaps.
Coincidence, I think NOT.
Ahem, half-baked half-high detective stuff aside, lets move on to the novel.
The writing quality has always been good, and it has only improved from the early chaps.
In terms of update stability, the author is a beast of writing, maybe on magecrafter levels but he did manage to reach the 100 chapter mark in just a little over a month of beginning to write. That is plenty commendable in my humble opinion.
In terms of story development and world background, top notch, as always. From the very beginning it was very clear that the author has put much thought into these aspects.
Moving on to the most important factor, character design. The extra trope is a washed and repeated trope on this platform. I have read 100s of novels of the theme, and the one of the, if not the only part that always stays as the deciding factor whether or not an extra novel succeeds is always the character designs. AND THIS NOVEL EXCELS AT THIS.
Hot mommy? Check.
Hot daughter of hot mommy who is a senior at the academy? Check.
Hot OP girl from the same year? Check.(best girl btw)
Wait, wait, wait. Just because I only listed the female characters doesn't mean this novel is a harem or that there are no important male characters. It's just that I focus on the female characters more. The male characters well, uhh, they exist. They... do stuff?(icl, i havent even looked at their character arts). At any case, they are important to the plot and are good characters too(i am pretty sure).
CONCLUSION:
So, well, yeah, that's about it. If you are into novels of this type(with extras, and weak to strong mc, and academy arcs), I would 10/10 rec this to you. But if you are here because you are into mythos, then well, there hasn't been much to see for now. I mean, we haven't even seen hades yet and that guy's name is a part of the novel's name.
So in the end whether or not you will like this novel depends on what you are looking for. One thing I can assure you though is the fact that you won't dislike this novel even if it isn't what you want to read.
Finally, I would like to mention(threaten) the author by saying that I will [REDACTED] his ahh with my [REDACTED] if Morrigan di Montaigne ain't the fml.
