When i first read this book, i had not read the Author's Pov. But now that i did skim through it a little, i can say that the first (40 chapters or more ?) are HEAVILY inspired of it.Only the Mc is different .But as more and more
chapters pass , one can see for himself/herself that the story has its own path. I've already reviewed the book once. However now that
I'm more experienced my mind has changed on quite a few points.
Let's start with the pros :
-The Mc is so fun !
Nathan, unlike Ren Dover, doesn't
care so much about sticking to the original noveľs plot, which is a plus.Also , he is smart,has a mysterious back story, and is quite
deranged .
- The side characters are well done.
- The plot is intriguing and promising.
Every fight is epic , well depicted and well explained .
- The Mc isn't OP but his wits and
perseverance are just amazing.
- The pace is nor quick nor slow .
Then, the cons :
- The updates are a too inconstant .
It's been three months already that the book hasn't been updated and this is so disappointing. Sure the author
has a life aside from writing. But everyone does. Yet here we are all to read and/or write. So i don't buy this excuse.
Plus , the author has done the same with his other book so i'm really unhappy.(This inconsistency in the updates is in fact the main reason for my low rating.)
- The inspiration of the Author's Pov is really strong in the first chapters. Honestly, i can now understand why some people stopped so early in their tracks . Still, it didn't last long(by the way , it's really relative) so i won't
hold it against this book too much.
Ah, there's still another flaw!The
author's forcing is too evident when it
comes to situations where he wants
Mc to help the original book's Mc.And
this excuse of " This character helped
me face my depression" seems a bit
too shabby.
Apart from these points, i don't really have any complaints about this book.
So what to say in the end ? It's a good book but Author's huge inspiration of the Author's Pov, the Mc's unconvicing reason for helping the original book's Mc, and the INCONSISTENT UPDATES convinced me to drop it.
