Honestly the story is amazing. At the start it seems to be a regular isekai adventure as the protagonist finds himself in ancient greece. But unlike the expected slow rise to power, the author justs takes a baseball bat and sends him flying straight to olympus, no time wasted. Then after a some twists and turns and getting himself a custom-made prophecy. He starts his time hopping adventure with his rag-tag crew of friends, Chased by a mysterious organiziation, we get to experience an awesome adventure through the pages of greek myths and legends. Hopping from place to place in a race through time, for the sake of time itself. lol, anyways great job author

First of all, this novel is genius on its own way. And the writing quality is impeccable. Second, if you want an overpowered mc who thinks he can overcome anything with reckless effort and guts alone, leave - this isn't for you. This has no system, and no cold-blooded irrational brute protag. Author poured a lot of thought in crafting the mc that makes him realistic enough for the readers to imagine. I mean, if you were in his shoes, the way he reacts is somehow believable. Also, he is very smart. Which leads me to my next point: Thirdly, this webnovel breaks down stereotypes and lots of fantasy tropes. Who doesnt get shocked when transported to another timeline? So as I said, if you want full blast cultivation and too OP protag who can do it all, this isn't your cup of tea. But if you are patient, and one who appreciates excellent writing, creativity and lore, I would highly recommend this. This is an adventure that is rare to find in this platform. The development, the flow, the characters, the imagination - its really good. Keep up the good work, author 👏
Just an overview to set your expectations. MC - orphaned boy, kinda stupid but actually clever. Yeah, idk if you get that. He's not OP too, so bye if you expect him to be. He just wants to get back in the present but he's stuck in Ancient Greece. Classic slow rise to power, this is. Romance? - did I put a romance tag? Yes, I guess I did. Is there romance in the story? Almost 60 chapters in and there's no sign of that. I only put the tag there for the far, far future. I'm BAD at writing romance so that sht will happen in the very, very far future of this novel if I'll even allow it. Also no harem, Greek stories you prolly know are already full of that. Adventure - Yes. High-octane even with a touch of stupid from time to time. Era hops. Many characters, both Greek ones and OCs. Yes, OCs. This is not a fanfiction, luh. Plot - time-travel here and there, some twists and turns, but most twists will happen in Vol. 2 (Age of Heroes) as the events of Vol. 1 will only pave the way for the grander scheme of things. Might be quite a drag, but essential. Lore - yeah, I inserted funfacts every now and then. Myths aren't accurate and most have multiple versions. Not everyone appreciates lore and figurative writing, so bye again. Just correct me if I'm wrong. Comedy - this is a GAG novel mostly, don't expect me to be serious all the time. Expect dumbassery of some gods, the Greek Pantheon is full of bullcrap. They aren't perfect, luh. If u get the puns and references, congrats. Research - hell, I spent time doing research, but I don't guarantee the accuracy of everything. Lemme tell u that if you're new to greek mythology, reading this might interest you to that sht. So go to the auxiliary chapter. There's my caveat for that. Isekai? - Strictly speaking, no. Isekai means 'another world'. MC wasn't transported to another world. He went back in time - to when the world was still young. You can call it, an 'isekai-in-disguise' (much like Dr. Stone, same world, just another timeline.)
I won't really consider this a review, but a message from me to you. Thank you for reading my work. Thank you for your support. I won Gold in the WPC138. And you all made me so happy. I promise to work hard in completing this novel. I will try to make it as interesting and entertaining as possible. To those who appreciate my style of writing, thank you all so much. I will try to improve and do better as I publish more and more chapters. I will not sacrifice the quality of this book for just for the sake of updating. I will continue to research, and research, until I can spin my own story from twisting what the myths say. I will do my best to create a story that will be remembered even after it ends. I look forward to being with you every step of the way. See you in the comments section. I really love hearing your thoughts. This is my vow to you, my readers. Please continue showing your support by voting, sharing, recommending, commenting and adding this book to your library. I love you, 3000+ 💕
OK, there is only one word for this book Fantabulous! I can't believe it but this is beyond what I expected . I love Greek mythology but definitely not obsessed with it but this book wants to make me study more about it. The vivid information tells me Author did a lot of research and studying (He must be really good at history ) Also the writing quality is 120/100, I don't need to stress my brain correcting or trying to make out or understand the english and the story flows perfectly . Also I can relate with Julius character , I'll be scared out of my pants if I suddenly time travel to God knows where all alone. Moreover you can never be bored in this book, Julius humours me . And if you're about to read this book ,prepare yourself for cliffhangers, author has a knack for them . Though there hasn't been any hint about his love interest yet but I'm curious about that ,I'm a sucker for romance . overall I'm giving this book a five star rating ,everything is perfect aside from the fact the book cover still scares the shit out of me whenever I see it 😂😂😂 You know ,just read the book kudos to you author
Honestly, this book deserves to be known and read by everyone. Its seriously amazingly written, nicely paced, and very well-researched. The best thing is, it was NEVER BORING. The information about the myths and Greek stuff didn't feel like dumped and overloaded. They were placed there just at the perfect moment, and I find it very interesting to read. What I like the most here is the unexpected comedy - a direct contrast to that creepy cover. Big brain time for the author to insert the puns and comic relief. Julius is very relatable and I like how funny he is in handling his situation hahahaha. Everyone else was entertaining as well. I love it. Ahhh, the transitions. So smooth, and so.... well, they leave you begging for more since the author is genius as making cliffhangers.
Outstanding! A class of its own! Highly recommended! Everyone from all ages will surely love this! Fresh and very entertaining! I like the fact that the research spent in making this does not make it too overloaded with information. Tbh, all the Greek references here are very interesting. Add the excellent writing quality and you'll get just the right mix of everything that is in this novel. And the characters? They remind me so much of many anime personalities that they actually make me feel like I'm reading an anime about Greek Mythology. Its very refreshing. They way they were all introduced were timed perfectly. And I absolutely love their developments, especially in the latest chapters. Author does not focus only in developing the MC, which is something I really look for in a fantasy book. If you want an OP OOC MC, this isn't for you. This is more of a light, funny and entertaining read. Such a rare gem for a high fiction genre. Good job! If i can give more than 5 stars, i will! You deserve it! Please, I can't wait for the updates! Don't keep us stuck in the cliff for so long!
The synopsis it very catchy, and it really makes you want to consume this book's content. Writing - so far, so good. I can imagine the level if research it entails, so good luck to you author on developing this story. Stability - its new so I hope the updates will be steady. (MORE, MORE) Characters - the ML is really funny and interesting. I'm excited to meet more characters (esp the divine ones). Development - as I said, the synopsis gives you a general idea of the plot and it can really bait those who enjoy that stuff. I bet a lot of greek myths/stories will be 'changed' by this work. World - oh, ancient Greece. And that prologue? Wow. READ THIS EVERYONE! SUPPORT THE AUTHOR COZ I KNOW HER! VOTE, SHARE, COMMENT, REVIEW AND ADD TO LIBRARY!
tell what's the point of going back in time to rewrite history before it happened if its all still gonna happen. basically no matter what he does in one way or another the event will happen. like with pandora couldn't he have used his space power to move the jar to his hands or move the dude before he even touches it. I won't it's a great novel but I just can't read it since the mc is basically being mentally put and broken while trying to change history in good way only for it to end badly and in prophecy it doesn't matter if he revives Kronos cause at the end he's gonna be the one suffering regardless of what happens witch pretty sad.
this book is so well thought, the author is either a Greek mythology enthusiast or he made extensive research. either way, his writing is on point. there are little -- to no mistakes from what i have read so far. the suspense it creates is very intriguing and satisfying. the author has a very wild and intriguing imagination. if you love Greek mythology, then this is the book for you. And if you don't then you should start reading this book. you will fall in love with it. To the author, keep up the good work👍🏽👍🏽
I can not describe how well this story is!!! From the number of researches, and the progress of the story is amazing! The myths and story are very catchy and they fit my taste really well ^^ Being a myth-lover myself, I am really enjoying this story, especially when it's about Greek myths~ Other than that, the overall rating is fantastic, including the choice of words. Good job, author! Keep up the good work ^^!
