I think this is one of the few books I genuinely believe belongs in the top rated books. Every character feels real. I think this gets overlooked so often, but I believe characters make the events within their world important. Without a character to care for, the events within the world have no emotional impact for the reader because there is no emotional investment. In this novel, every character has their own motivations and struggles with being good. They have stories that are worth listening to. When someone dies or leaves, theres a hole that cant exactly be filled. I think thats the mark of a great character. You miss them. When it comes to story development, everything feels worth reading because everything holds importance. I cant skip a story arc and see quinn and his friends doing the same thing but in a different story arc. No no. Quinn is different and so are his friends. Its like every paragraph has purpose, and if you ask me its part of what makes reading this such a joy. Props to author, I highly recommend this.

The story leans into emotion quite a bit. which I appreciate. The author is making a clear effort to develop the characters and their personalities. I think emotional moments tend to come off half baked and a tad empty along with the characters. The moments just dont feel earned. With that said, this author is clearly putting in the effort and honestly isnt failing, which is a far cry from what plenty of popular authors do anyways.

After reading the top books on webnovel Ive come back and concluded that yeah romerus books are just more interesting to me. The characters are always developed and you see their thoughts and feelings and can sometimes relate. I find myself feeling sad when a character dies and feeling great when something good happens. I think thats the hallmark of good character creation to me. My only real drawbacks with romeru in general is some real weird story progression that can happen. Not everything gets fully fleshed out. But tbh, most novels dont anyways.

Im not sure why this gets such a high rating. Its perfectly fine to read, dont get me wrong, but I think a 5 is overboard. At least for the first 100 chapters. progression system is nice. fast paced but not lightning. powers are cool and while not entirely unique, are like a 4/5 which is great. Plenty of fighting and mc is very strong. Side characters are replaceable and have no function other than slightly useful damaging units. overarching plot to save the family is out of sight, out of mind. Conflict pops up but often have no emotional impact towards the main character. Definitely not bad overall though

yes easy to remember colors!
"It's the colors of the rainbow." Lilith pointed out with a beautiful smile. Seeing Bai Zemin's questioning look, she explained, "From lower rank to higher rank, treasures are divided as follows; Red orb is equivalent to a normal grade treasure. An orange orb equals a rare-grade treasure. A yellow orb is equivalent to a magic-grade treasure. Green orbs are equivalent to epic-grade treasures. Cyan color means legend-grade treasure. Indigo-colored orbs are equivalent to semi-god grade treasures. Finally, violet-colored orbs mean god-grade treasures." - Hermit_The_Frog2yrCommentedCh 4 Xuanyuan Sword

idk how I feel about the author consistently telling me exactly what is on his mind. I kinda wish his actions were more ambiguous. like we had to guess whether hes doing it out of the kindness of his heart or not.
Lith, instead, wasn't touched at all. For him, it was just a temporary setback, something he had to cope with while exploiting the situation to regain his people skills. He knew that over time his edgelord demeanor would do him more harm than good. - Hermit_The_Frog2yrCommented
id like to say screw you all for complaining about being any taller than 5'5.
Despite being only eight and a half years old, Lith was already over one meter and thirty-five centimeters (4'6") tall, and in the County of Lustria any man above 1.75 meters (5'9") was considered tall. - Hermit_The_Frog2yrPosted
Very very solid stuff. The story is near incoherent in the beginning I was about to drop it tbh. Thats why Im so genuinely impressed by how fast this novel improves. Give it like 15-20 chapters and the story turns from a 2 to 4.5. Easy recommendation. If youre familiar with my hero academia it kiiinda reminds me of that. As in, the abilities are creative (oddly specific at times) and give the characters space to outwit their opponents. The characters have to earn their wins instead out stat checking them.

Im still enjoying this book though and I could definitely be way off base
This mysterious force was none other than Rein Alister, who had been training every day for 6 years, honing his System in the monster den of his father's grave. He reached level 85 with his System, every level being 10 stat points. Level 60 was reached in the first year, then 5 levels per year after. Stats began increasing much slower after level 60, and progression became much more difficult. Since he didn't kill any soldiers that invaded, he wasn't able to gain large level boosts. Even at about level 70, he was able to repel a whole battalion single-handedly. His stats were now: - Hermit_The_Frog2yrCommented
So Im totally okay with villain characterization where we kind of dont like what he does but somewhat understand how his warped mindset came to be. Often its what makes a good villain. But like the question of why is constantly put in my face without any coherent answer or suspenseful hints to let my imagination wander. So it just leaves me confused.
"You're wrong! We didn't kill any villagers! We followed the contract I made with those Orthlys nobles and only attacked the people inside the village. We let all the villagers leave the village. I will admit, we did try to kill Leona Alister and Rein Alister, along with Greeny here because they were still in the village. Also, the contractor specifically told us to target them. But let me set the record straight, I did not kill any innocent bystanders. Those filthy Orthlys soldiers did it, not me," Core said, finally losing his cool. It seemed like, even by mistake, he did not want to be associated with the deaths of all of those civilians. - Hermit_The_Frog2yrCommented
yiiiikes
Rein was about to talk back, but he remembered his sister's words. " A true man would prioritize the safety of the girl in his arms over all else!" - Hermit_The_Frog2yrCommented
If you asked me I would say to let the audience experience these moments. telling us something creates sympathy. We get that it sucked, but we dont feel anything. Showing us creates empathy. We feel the emotions of the character, and in doing so connect with and understand them. Sympathy is cool and all until we disagree with the main character. Without the understanding of why they became a certain way, we inherently start to dislike them and just stop caring about them. that means dead book.
If anyone went through what he went through before his death, they'll lose their moral compass as well. He, no matter what, didn't want to be used or trampled on again.
