Which novel is this and is it good?

Why is this novel 200 chapters behind?

Read his name. That’s all the information you need to understand why he asked that smh

Trust me when I say this novel is not for everyone. I have read over four hundred chapters, so when I say the story is repetitive, I mean it. I originally dropped it around three hundred chapters, recently came back to it, and realized nothing has changed. The author constantly builds up the main character and his people as overwhelmingly powerful, only for the next enemy to appear and wipe them out, including the main character himself. Then he comes back alive, only for the exact same thing to happen again fifty chapters later. You would expect some deeper explanation or progression, but it is always justified with the same excuse that he was not powerful enough. This creates a major disconnect between the world building and the actual events of the story. The author does a good job of making the main character appear to be something he is not, and that is the core issue of the novel. The story is heavily built around war arcs, so equipment like weapons, armor, and military strength should matter. The author repeatedly creates the illusion that the main character’s army possesses unique, unmatched gear, yet they somehow end up being weak. Even when they are clearly ranked miles above their enemies, they are treated as inferior in actual combat. The same problem applies to the main character’s personal strength. In the current arc, the author seems unable to take a different direction without repeating the same pattern. Normally you would expect the main character to win at least some battles, but instead he loses everything, every single time. This becomes especially frustrating after he becomes an Awoken, yet a random assassin still manages to curse his children within his own dukedom. At that point, the stakes feel artificial and the conflicts lose all credibility. I for one enjoyed the novel early on where every moment actually mattered, but the author at this point is just outright lazy. There is no point in having a conversation with him either as he does not care to understand as you will be able to see on the comments he replies to on the later chapters. If you won’t take it from me then skip to the significant moments of the novels arcs, it is literally in the chapter titles and you will see for yourself the amount of time the MC dies, loses and fails. If you still want to read to really see for yourself then don’t spend coins on unlocking chapters, there are free ones out there. Author if you’re reading this, no wonder this novel died. You obviously don’t take criticism at least for this novel. Hope your other novels you take constructive criticism.

I know I’m 7 months late but you asked in one of the comments why the power stones was low. You answered your own question with the so called development. If you as a writer think development is getting a beat down during every fight, then expect readers to look elsewhere or slowly disassociate themselves from your work Every major fight is a loss which causes a loss of loved on or someone close, what’s the point of all the mc buildup? I for one enjoy the book but this repetitive way of writing is a throw off.

I wonder how many Europeans that will read this later on is going to be offended by this

Started off strong, but the repetition killed the momentum At first, I really liked this story. The premise was solid, a knight gets exiled, and ends up building his own kingdom. The early chapters had great pacing, the world-building was interesting, and I was genuinely invested in the main character's journey. But after around chapter 40 or 50, things started going downhill. The author kept repeating the same information over and over again, and it started to feel like they were just trying to stretch chapters out. There were entire chapters that felt like filler. For example, one chapter had about eight paragraphs just describing the weather and scenery… then literally in the next paragraph, it just says, “three weeks passed.” That chapter about the weather could’ve been cut or summarized in a few lines. This kind of thing kept happening. There are way too many details that didn’t add to the plot or characters. It got to the point where I felt like I was paying for chapters that weren’t moving the story forward at all. I’ve read 67 chapters total, and I feel like that’s more than enough to give an honest review. I even paid for 10 extra chapters ahead, hoping it would improve, but I honestly don’t plan on finishing them. I also donated over 3 Power Stones, so I think that alone shows how much I enjoyed the book at the beginning. But sadly, the writing quality just dropped too hard, and I couldn’t keep going. The story became too repetitive and bland. Story development is okay overall, but it’s hard to stay invested when so many chapters feel like padding. I kept hoping it would pick up again, especially since it started out so strong, but it just didn’t. If the author tightens up the writing and stops dragging things out, this story still has potential. But for now, I’m dropping it.

You typed 8 paragraphs to describe the weather and how beautiful the scenery is? this is not the only time, too, and just for the next paragraph to say 3 weeks have passed?

Author, please keep it this way, like the comment above said, really refreshing.

You still deleted reviews in the end, tho? How am I/we supposed to believe that it was due to said readers not reading a single chapter when the author deliberately removed reviews. The whole purpose of leaving a review is to give future readers an opportunity to make a decision if they want to pick it up or not, and you literally removed that. Again, if there were reviews regarding the Writing quality and cringy lines that were written, I would have never picked this book up, but I can't do that since you removed them.
