This novel is an absolute masterpiece if you just remove the MC and FMC. Sylus himself is easily the least enjoyable part of this story, as his existence is essentially just a walking plot hole. Everyone everywhere has a fully functional society with normal Humanoid social structures. Until Sylus shows up and 9/10 sentient beings instantly become 2-bit cultivation novel bullies. The author goes out of his way to write believable, enjoyable side/background characters with their own perspectives and lives going on throughout every arc. And this story would likely be a 5/5 stars if any one of them had just killed Sylus and become the new MC. I am not kidding when I say literally every single named and unnamed character in this novel is more likeable and would make a better MC than Sylus. There are zero redeeming qualities in the MC. But the world, the systems, the lore, the other characters, holy hells do they make this novel worth reading. I would rate the novel 100/100 if any other named character in this series was the MC instead. I have no idea why Awspec willingly chose to make the worst character in his best novel the MC. At present, I've read up to 1767. It is worth reading. Just be prepared to not like the MC.
Sure, a few points; The system is interesting, and decently fleshed out. The story is rather cohesive, and it doesn't have too many crazy plot holes. It's just a well designed power fantasy novel.
This is the only review I needed.
The mf didn't even grammar check the description of his novel. So I can't imagine what the actual chapters are like...*
Find the free 1700, then come back here. It's amazing. If anyone disagrees, feel free to comment and i'll debate you with solid literary reasoning. It's one of the best novels i've ever found online, and I have read MANY.
An honestly well-written novel. Intrinsic themes of power fantasy, bloodlines and out-of-game aspects affecting in-game occurrences. One thing I truly appreciate about this novel is that the main character isn't the only important person. He's certainly powerful, but he's not the only one. If I had to give a few minor critiques, it would be the forced stagnation of development for a few core supporting characters during several main story arcs, which the writer began to fix and remedy later into the novel. It's not trope-free, but it certainly uses the tropes in a healthy way that doesn't seem 'too' invasive. Except for the shameless trio, that goes way too far in some of their chapters, but you can honestly just skip those sections if it's not your cup of tea, with no detriment to your reading experience.
Serana is one of the most overrated characters in all of video game history. I say that as an absolute edge lord who adores the dawnguard DLC. She's nothing but a walking thirst trap for loner recluses who self diagnose mental disorders on themselves and blame their circumstances on anything or anyone but themselves. Harkon, on the other hand, was a man with an insufferable, abusive wife; Serana without any powers or tragic backstory as a daughter, and the knowledge of how to make the best of a bad situation. If you ask me, Harkon has been done incredibly ditty by an extremely biased author in this arc of the story. If you ever play through dawnguard and survive the Serana sympathy virus that's shoved down your throat, then come back and read these chapters, you'll realize Harkon could have been Jon's greatest friend and ally if the author wasn't thirsty for his daughter.
This makes so much sense, I got the feeling that you didn't really like or understand her character despite adding her in. A by request character explains it aptly.
They need to make sure no one escapes. Small elite team can get in and do work, but one or two bad guys might slip away.
