Welcome to the story! This is not a shameless review by the author. I believe this novel deserves 5-star. You might say that every author thinks that way about his own story. And I think you are right but I want to put forward some pros and cons pointing out as to why it deserves 5-star. I won't be listing them separately as pros and cons as I believe that some points that might be cons for some readers might be pro for the other. 1. The story revolves around a dystopia and unlike those many 'just dystopia' it indulges in not only the dangers and injustice but also the aftereffects of such a defective system and also how the residents are emotionally affected by such an environment. 2., Unlike other novels where MC is absolutely weak from the start or absolutely strong from the start (a bit too strong making a mess of the story where every problem is a problem only until MC arrives), this novel has an MC who is physically average at the beginning but has the mental fortitude of a killer. So you have it, weak from the outside strong from the inside. (this is only true in the beginning MC grow in strength) 3. The story is mostly focused on the MC so there aren't multiple PoVs. 4. The writing quality I believe is good enough. 5. The story has a setting that is a mixture of occult literature and shinobi background.
Story starts off great, but... I came and saw the tags, such as #harem. I can say from the start when I started reading till chapter 17 that it should focus more on the MC because some readers just want to know on how the harem would usually start until it really becomes a 'harem'. This strange thought came to my mind that the male side characters were the harem of the MC, because the early chapters already started simultaneously detailing and focusing on the MC and the Side characters. Introduction of side characters came out quicker than what I thought, you could've just started slow with one. Other side characters at the start doesn't really give that much support in the start story of the MC. The story hooked me but stopped me from reading when the 2 male side characters started showing up, what is this? is this drama where a love triangle starts then goes to pentagon then octagon, so on... I just skimmed and scanned and was too lazy to actually read because wherever I stop and try to actually read, it starts in a place where the side character shows up. This gives vibes of Western and Eastern novel mixed together, that it makes me irritated when I think the about the negative points of both types of novel in one novel. I would like to continue reading, but giving this review, it's time for me to move on and go to other novels. - Still rooting for improvement π -
This is a great story that should deserve 5 stars. The issue with it is that the chapters seem to get shorter and shorter but cost the same. It feels like a money grab. Most authors use the authors note tab to leave notices to readers but this story uses the announcements in the actual story to fill out the word count. I read it for the daily limited free which allowed me to make it to chapter 130ish and I started unlocking chapters with coins up to around 270ish. It is a great story but I actually started skipping chapters to save coins because the ones I skipped didn't have much substance to them. It felt like the announcements were equal to 1/6th of the actual story we were getting each chapter. Too bad I would have liked to keep reading but I can't justify spending my money for hardly anything in return.
A good novel. However, there's various points needed to be mentioned. 1- Early wall pay chapters, with only 31 chapters being able to decide whether you like the story or not. This isn't a problem itself If it weren't for the short chapters. The chapter are too short for what the novels need. 2- This point is related with the previous one, due to short chaps, there isn't a feeling of development with every chapter, you need to start lengthen the chaps or at least rethink about how you will build each chapter, please don't fall under the premise of spamming chapters for small events that could be easily be fixed with a length of 1.800k to 2k words length. 3- The early chaps really need to be extended to at least 3k words to explain your new readers where they are and let everything set go for the walled chaps, where you could put the story on. Nonetheless, the novel have an interesting premise, a good world building and background and the MC is interesting. What I liked more about this novel is the ground to improvement with the MC personality, as having a new chance to experiment things he couldn't in his previous life could lead to interesting plots. The females characters are well portrayed as the side characters personalities too.
Reviewed at chp93: WQ(3/5) - There are some mistakes(typos, extra words, wrong sentence structures) but it's few and far in between. Nothing amazing but it's readable enough. SD(2/5) - I'm not a huge fan of the pacing of the story. It feels very "jerky". Like a car shifting gears too quick. The plot progression so far has been lacklustre in my opinion. The premise is interesting enough but can't raise the score above a solid 3. Now for the "plot" for those who care, pretty alright. It's decent but not ground-breaking. So far we have a few chps of Selena and MC. It mostly depends on your preference, pretty rough but still quite vanilla. CD(3/5) - I'm torn on this. The MC is interesting enough though frustrating at times. The issue is that the way the author introduces us to him as a character, there are far too many perspective shifts, it's told through flashbacks and having too many in any medium is never a good idea. It's fine to be used sparingly to show past events but thats the issue, here it's used as a tool to convey the MC's char to readers, even worse is it's in parts. It might contribute to that "jerky" feeling I get when reading. Now I commend the author for actually building side characters. For example, Selena and Verona are given a fair bit of screentime and inner monologues to give us an idea of their thoughts and character. This can be a double-edged sword however, as focus might be shifted off the MC. But I'm glad to say the author divided the focus quite well. Now why I'm torn on this is the fact I like the side char building but absolutely abhor the MC's char building itself. It feels inorganic and doesn't flow well compared to how the side chars are shown. US(4/5) - The author seems pretty consistent in his updates and actually responds to his audience. WB(4/5) - The world itself is slowly being built and honestly it would be a solid 3, I gave it a 4 just because it's piqued my interest and is genuinely interesting. The world the author is writing seems mysterious and intriguing, u can't help but think there are far deeper secrets due to the hints here and there. In conclusion, a decent but rough read. The idea is solid but the execution isn't. The pacing and plot of the story needs quite a fair bit of work, especially with the MC's char building. It just feels completely inorganic to show the character like this. But here's the great kicker, premium chps are locked at chp30. That is going to greatly hurt the exposure this novel is going to get. For the word count of chps, it's just not worth it. I might return to this novel in the future but so far it doesn't look too promising. All the best author and I hope this review helps.
This novel is ok as at chapter 103, the world background was ok,the story is good. But... There is alot of problems with the writing quality, alot of errors with the writing plus the story lacks detail in a lot of ways either with the quests, classes, equipments and even the story plots. For instance how long did the tutorial last. MC made a comment to the new initiates dying of thirst in the early chapters but we never saw this happen. The quest for water was a total flop, the group went out once and that was it no further updates. Though I assume it was a failure but after that was another plot and then the end. In shot Author needs to develop story better - more details.
NINJA A fantasy name that filled every kid that watches Naruto Anime. This is not Naruto fanfic but it gives it vibes. the novel took a little serious path and also enjoyable. it's a story of strong Ninja that Travel back in time after the defeats of Human kinds by the Notorious 75 Demons lord. But the good thing about the Novel is that, the defeat is course by the humans themselves. It's shows that if humanity has not fallen to depravity and kill themselves their power will be enough to withstand the Demons attack. But, Greed for Power and other depravity that human fall into, it's what makes them be destroyed. With all above explanation, you will see the novel will take a different approach in solving the problem. it's not about just improving the humanity's power, as they are already strong, But rather about uniting them together. Well this is my hypothesis. Since it's only three chapter maybe something change. It's a very good read.
a bit spoiler Ahem! Ahem! as I continue to read this I consider myself stopping it as I really hate how he take Selena with him, but as I read more chapters and also think about klautz pov, I started to enjoy this more than I can think, like why hate a woman if you know that she will not betray you while also do willingly what you command to her. I hate the part where Verona interfere when klautz was fighting with Eli, but thinking about it, it was really necessary to do that part as we need it to do some character development as it was boring if she suddenly became survibedient to him. so for that part you really great author. For the lemon part, you also do great at that author that I begun to think if it was based on experience GHAHHAHA but if my hunch is true can you kindly teach me sensei! There was some typo but it was so little that you will not care about it. I also like how thick skinned our mc when they were in that secret room where they first met Verona on the bonus stage. where he do the deed with Selena even she was at that room GAHHAHHA it really turn me on GHAHAHHA and from that part I know that something within Verona will be going to awaken GHAHAHHAH I'm still at the 80s chapters and it was already awesome so I expect that it was more going to get interesting when I caught up
To be honest I like this story alot, what I didn't like is the forced deaths when he did the trial of control, Kristie didn't really need to die, his death was unnecessary, if the author really only wanted one to survive he could've let Kristie and Brett die together at the next stage, but other than that awesome story
WQ: (5/5). US: (5/5). SD: (5/5). CD: (4/5). WB: (5/5). 30 chapters in and can say with confidence that Im defintley going beyond those paid chapters. Concept is done in an intriguing way. So far, the MC holds the story together for me. I like the lone wolf/morally grey types of characters. They can repetitive but when written right, theyre pretty kino. Ive been looking around the site for a while for a good story to read since I joined, and Im glad this is the first one to stick with me.
