I’ve been reading your work since the early days of LITOW and I would think that after 2 amazing series prior to this, people would realize how great of an author you are. Your stories are among my favorite and some of the best on WN. Whereas it saddens be to see you have to get another job, I am glad the story will continue and I hope things work out for you. I’ll keep reading until the end and I hope someday you can come back to this full time.

Even though I am dying to know what ability the Nightmare gave Nick, I understand you need a break. Get well soon.

Personally, I hope Nick is able to get it’s ability and that it’s something insanely overpowered. I’d also love to know where this place is in the world and that this dark place gets explained in the future since the sun lights up the entire world.

I know I’m going to be a minority here, but I hate the way the romance is progressing. Can you please make it more natural and not this forced nonsense that is going on? Michael and Alice have never been awkward together and now in like 4 chapters, they have all of the sudden developed this massive crush to the point they cant speak without stuttering. I know they’re still “working” on their feelings and all, but it may as well be a guaranteed ship with both of their current attitudes. Not to mention Danny’s little mind link trick. If Alice always thought that, there should have been more awkwardness for the entire story’s, not just these last few chapters out of nowhere. I think Maria thinking he’s cute is fine as that has already been hinted at and she’s not being weird, but it just feels like the romance triangle is being shoved down our throats needlessly just to force Michael into a relationship magically and conveniently now that Danny is back and nothing else is going on. Like one little conversation shouldn’t create all this. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind romance and personally I ship him with Maria, but please for the love of everything stop doing it this way and make it naturally progress.

Nothing like a little genocide to start an expansion operation.

I really hope this talk snaps nick out of his insecurities. Nothing is holding him back as much as his own mind is.

The romance feels so forced to me. The story has been amazing in every other way but this just doesn’t make sense to me.

This is the most unique story and world building I have ever read. Good job on this one author!

I am literally crying 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Please just don’t turn this into some type of unfathomable coincidence that somehow blossoms into a romance out of nowhere.

I know you’re trying to keep us all in suspense, but there is entirely to much jumping around the last few chapters. It makes it really hard to get immersed in the story when it jumps around too much.

Thank you for bringing us such a great story! Also, thank you for not forcing some BS romance in this story. Shang did not need it. Can’t wait for your next book!

Honestly I find it very heartwarming and can relate to why he is acting the way he is to his mother. Good job author.

This review is current up to chapter 135, and unfortunately this is one I have to drop at this point. The first 80 or so chapters actually start out pretty good. The world has a lot to discover, there are plenty of mysteries keeping us wondering, the MC is OP, character interactions make sense, and the grammar only has small mistakes here and there, but is easy to follow and get immersed in. Overall, it starts out as a pretty good novel to read. **SPOILERS START HERE** The problem with this novel is after about chapter 80-100, the story and character interactions progressively get worse from here on. Every single chapter from this point forward is 70% a particular woman’s inner monologue about how hot the MC is as well as how they want to please/seduce him and 30% actual story progression. It gets even worse in the tournament arc where a team essentially forfeits their match against the MC in exchange for the MC to visit some random woman’s mansion so she can flirt with him. All women in this novel at this point are being completely illogical just to flirt with the MC, which clashes with the world setting that has been built up. Lastly, and this is just a personal pet peeve, the MC is as dense as a brick when it comes to women, sex, and flirting despite his age and the memories present in 2 lives. If you like every woman in the universe fawning over the MC, nonstop sexual tension, multiple rated R chapters, can overlook the lack of logic the women portray in this novel for the MC, and an extremely high likelihood for a harem, then this is for you. Otherwise, I don’t recommend it.

I had the same thought. He should be at least late tier 2.

Commas are a wonderful thing…

You have no idea how refreshing it is to not see someone be pushed around and forcefully adopt another persons values in a world like this. I love the decisiveness.

This review is current up to chapter 200. I will also do my best to not spoil anything but only provide hints. I want to start with the negative. Thus far, the only problem I have with this story is the MC is a bit too lax. The MC joins a new school who do some…questionable things for recruitment. After something quite traumatic, he is essentially perfectly okay with being someone’s experiment. I don’t have a problem with how it played out as it played out well, but I wish the MC was more hesitant, questioning, and that more inner monologue was shown after he was recruited to the school to show more depth to how he was feeling and justify a bit more why he agreed to do some of the things he did. Now for the positive, I love how the world is being built. We are 200 chapters in and the setting for the world has been established but there is still a huge amount of mystery surrounding everything. The school the MC is attending also actually has some depth to it and doesnt feel just randomly thrown together. As for the MC himself, he isnt necessarily a pushover but he won’t seek out trouble either. As stated before, he is a bit too “go with the flow” but he does have a bit of decisive ruthlessness in him. The side characters have some personality to them but they haven’t been explored in extreme depth as of yet. Finally, for those wondering about romance, there’s nothing yet. There are a couple of potential partners but nothing concrete. One of my own pet peeves is I despise when romance is forced into a story through some unfathomable coincidense and it just magically works out. So far, there’s signs there are going to be romance but it doesn’t appear as if it’s just going to be thrown into the story randomly, which is a huge plus point in my book. Overall, I highly recommend it. It’s been a fun story so far.

Please don’t drop this book. I just binge read it all in less than a day and I need more!
