If you don’t risk poisoning or even death, why even become a scientist?

Still happening in many parts of the world. If you go back a few decades, it was quite normal to try and silence reporters, even in „developed“ countries. So, quite realistic.

Either that or a place to entertain his lady friends. 50:50. can go either way🤷‍♂️

She’s betting on Saint Malakai?

Can confirm. Reason will be explained later on in a manner that makes sense and won’t be forgotten. RW still got it.

TL;DR Started off interesting but the bad and frequent POV switches, especially later on in the story, the weird interactions between the mc and others and his almost obsessive need to follow a girl he barely knows, really take the joy out of the story. Writing quality. 4.5/5 Updating stability: 3/5 Story development: 3/5 Character design: 4/5 World BG: 5/5 Story started off quite interestingly. I really enjoyed the first 60-ish chapters and most of the following 100. But it all went downhill after the mc left the forest. Frequent POV changes to characters that take way too much screen time, mc‘s interactions with others, it all just feels weird, for a lack of better word. I still don‘t understand his obsession with staying in Westmont and that girl from there. Now he wants to follow her even after she leaves the village? Why? Nothing about their interaction gives me a hint of closeness, familiarity or love, if you will. It just feels like Damien imprinted on the first female he talked to for more than 10 minutes after his exile in the wilds and now follows her around like a lost little puppy. The interaction with others is also somewhat weird. In one second he doesn‘t want to get too close to acquaintances and keeps them at arms lenght and then cares deeply for people he met for a couple of minutes and their well being. He knows he‘s still weak, relatively speaking, and should hunt more demons to further bolster his strength but he got lost in side quests and keeps on pushing back the hunt. We keep getting teased about his reunion with his family, and maybe revenge on his father for his exile, which i really doubt, but no one knows when that happens. I also completely lost interest in his twin brother. Honestly, i skimmed most of the chapters where the focus shifts to him and just read the dialogue and i can say with absolute certainty that i don‘t care. His journey could‘ve been explained in their reunion in two short chapters and my level of enthusiasm would way higher. It really is such a shame. I found this novel quite early on but now reading new chapters feel morre like a chore than pleasure. I‘ve seen this happen with a lot of authors, shattered innocence, for example. They start off strong, and after some hundred chapters, the authors get caught in details and POV‘s of people no one cares about and excessive description of useless things. A common rock will be explained into detail because their descriptive writing improves but the story then suffers. It then becomes common to use 1/3 or 1/4 of a chapter to describe the background, a house, castle ect. I am still not sure if this happens unintentionally or they just use their newfound skills to inflate the word counts, but from what i‘ve seen from the most successful novels on this platform, those that use excessive filler will tend to be forgotten quite fast. Anyway, even though i‘ll end my reading here, i wish jou the best of luck.

Huh. They sound like my relatives.

If no two people see the same colour for an emotion, how did the book know that he saw maroon on himself when he was frustrated? Good guess or is it sentient?

Do tell Dagzo. How much will his little mushroom grow? And before there’s any misunderstanding, i‘m asking about Mooshito here.
