Reviews of The Lord Impaler

I'm not good at writing reviews but I'll give it my best shot. I've read 28 chapters of this story before deciding to drop it. The main character behaves like a child throwing temper tantrums half the time. Granted he is in the body of a 10 year old or whatever, but that just makes it worse. I can appreciate a brutal and cold MC as much as the next guy but half the time he just felt like an edgelord prepubescent brat to me and was rather cringe-worthy. The story also, at least in the beginning, has several back-and-forth chapters that jump from future/past to current. Some may not mind this as it provides a little backstory on the MC but I personally found the repeated flashback chapters to be more annoying then anything else. I felt myself wanting to hurry ahead to get back to the "real" story happening in the current MC. The MC is... okay, yes he is psychotic, the description makes that clear enough, but it feels like the world doesn't really react to that as much as it should. Like he, as a kid in modern time, somehow beatup what I assume to be a vampire that just got done gorging his father to bits. Then he keeps him held hostage in the tool shed or something to keep torturing him. I guess the police grossly glossed over this crimescene and no one noticed, not even the mother. Its all pretty confusing really. Thats another thing. The superpowers. Now, I went into this story already expecting there to be some supernatural stuff going on. Afterall, its Vlad the Impaler. Who sees that and doesn't instantly think of some vampires? So I went in expecting something. However a little explanation would had been appreciated. There appears to be superpowers in the world. And the MC has one. But, unless I completely missed it, these were never really explained and are just there. As if its the most normal thing. At first I thought it was something special about the magical knife the MC gets at the start but I'm later lead to believe its him (or a combination of both). Flashforward a few chapters and now suddenly the MC can grow scales, fly around, summon red mist and move so fast its teleportation. At this point I'm left all the more confused because I have no idea where these supernatural abilities come from since the story never really touched on it. We even get a girl telling him off for "wasting his bloodline" when he overexerts his power. The powers and how they function in the world is never really introduced to us, they're just there as if we're expected to already understand the basics. Maybe this story is based off something I'm not aware of. I assumed it was a original story. We also don't get much insight on the MC's thoughts and reasons which makes it hard to really sympathize or relate with the character at all, regardless of what kind of edgey backstory he has. For example after being a drama queen at home he just packs up his bags and with a few followers he leaves his household to spend months traveling around. Thing is though, I have absolutely no idea why he did that. The story doesn't really give us an explanation for his motives or goals. He just ups and seemingly does nothing important for a few months other than traveling aimlessly and killing bandits and such. It'd be nice to have at least some insight on what exactly his goal there was or why he does what he does. I dropped the story after it introduced some "Towers" organizations and superpower/supernatural ancient powerful beings that are apparently hunting the MC because I guess prophecy or something. I don't know. Maybe there's some cool things going on here that others would appreciate but for me it was just annoying to constantly have this kind of stuff thrown in suddenly. I went into this story looking forward to seeing what a Vlad the Impaler SI could be like, since its a unique take on SI stories, imo. Since its dealing with a figure with a lot of mythos around his name I expected vampires or witchcratch and covens, if it was going to have supernatural elements. Even without superpowers or magic I felt this could still be an interesting subject. Maybe something like Game of Thrones (minus magic) with politics and world building with more mundane warfare. A kingdom building story perhaps since he is a person from modern times placed in the past in a situation that would give him the kind of political and social power to really change things up. It didn't turn out anything like what I was expecting. Honestly I can even easily forget that the MC is supposed to be Vlad. Now a lot of this might be more my own fault for going into it with certain expectations. It was still disappointing regardless. Some might enjoy this story. It wasn't what I was looking for, though, sadly.

Just from the prologue, I could say that the plot would be captivating and interesting. The writing style is unique and well thought, giving me an easier time to imagine all the scenarios happening. Nice work author👍👍👍

Really well written novel for a ******* which i guess the author is. As already mentioned, the mc is reincarnated as Vlad the impaler with a twist and his story to live through life in that turbulent era. All those who like historical novels should give it a try as it can be seen that the author has really done thorough research before writing this. As far as i have read(10 chp), i think the mc will be going the evil route where he might or might not be worse than Vlad himself in terms of cruelty. Thanks for the novel and hope u see it to the end.

everything good, update stability in the bin...................................................................... ........... ..

I think the world of music has a good friend and I felt powerful in my head when he came to play a lot to do this and he was shunned by the people of his country

Im not all the way through this yet but so far its okay. Its covid you know. Im bored and have already read everything I own. So I figure Id try a few different places and stories.

Hey there! Good day for writing! If you wanted to see whether you can get paid by distributing the current work or getting financial support by writing new work, you might want to contact geekyteddyyo@gmail.com. A brief introduction, some sample chapters or links will be appreciated when reaching out.

So far so good the pacing is good not to fast not to slow, although the flashbacks should be marked in some way to know when we are transitioning back and forth that's just a preference and doesn't take away from the story.

Hello my name is Brandon Gould i am the Writter of the Tylingariea Epic and I am responding to a review swap that I have asked to do here is my review First let me say for your first book it is very good, of the chapters that i have read i am enjoying it. From what i have gotten from these chapters is that Vlad is the reincarion of Vlad the implater and i find that my interesting as a premise for a fanstey series. a personal suggestion is that i would like to know where the book takes place. like if it takes place in the future or the past. but besides that the writing was very good and well descriptive, the pacing is good i can't wait to read more about what happens in your book

Kinda hard to review since as of right now only 4 chapters are out, but it's a cool premise and the story is told in a nice pace and easy to follow what's going on. Just gotta wait and see where its going to go now.

I read all the chapters released till now the story plot is damn intersting,the prologue writing style was good too much good that it was captivating but after that the second chapter gets a little boring but as the plot continues the excitement keep on rising.

I love the story line. It’s very interesting and I look forward to reading more to see the outcome. I like your writing style it’s unique it keeps your attention 

Prologue details are very well written, the writing style is new for me but I had fun reading it, I can't say much for now for one chapter but by reading the plot I know that it would be interesting!

There isn't much to say since only the prologue is available at this moment. However, I do believe that this story would have a neat plot by the synopsis and the prologue. In the prologue, I felt that the details were very well written. However, the writing style isn't really to my taste since I prefer more emotional narration. I feel like it's too early to judge anything though, so I'm not going to critique too much. Good luck, author! :)

The author here. I know it's shameless to do this, but here we go. This story is a work in progress, which means i only have a flicker of the idea where this story is going through. Momentarily i'm trying to figure out what the driving plot will be and what will be the mc's turning point which will make him do whatever he's going to do. The only thing i'm certain about is mc's character, which is he doesn't give a **** about what the world thinks the right thing to do is. He's vengeful, bitter and, if someone tries to step over his boundaries, he'll make sure the price to be paid is unheard of in its brutality.
