Sinopse

In a certain city wrapped in mystery, strange occurrences are commonplace. Freak accidents, strange incidents, and unusual people are found throughout this place. Many of the city’s residents go through their lives witnessing such events, and as such now consider it a part of the city’s charm. The Depra King is a victim of one of these freak accidents, with his family disappearing overnight during the summer before his freshman year of high school. It is now been about 4 years since then, and he is now almost in his last year of high school. Unable to enjoy everyday life, his friends try to help him, pushing him far out of his comfort zone, in the hopes to change him, little by little. A story about a depressed boy, and the friends who try to help him overcome it. And so, our first saga begins Hidden Power Saga: Saga 1 **Note, they have secret abilities, so try to guess what they are, especially Depra's, by the end of the story. Although, if you ask me, you won't fully guess it until Saga 5...**

Rise To Stardom

Orphaned in the old world after taking care of his irresponsible and sick mother for years on end, Kyle finds his life turned upside down. His already dim world turns even gloomier and coupled with his trauma from losing her, Kyle felt like he had lost his purpose in life. Living day by day, akin to a soulless puppet, he struggled to keep his suicidal thoughts in check, all whilst trying to make ends meet as a cabbie. During those dark times, Kyle slowly begins to find solace in the world of music and movies. Even though it had always been there, it truly became something as a bloodline of sorts for him because, individually, both pieces of media, transported him to another world, one where he could feel happy, if even for a fleeting moment. And, as if the universe wanted even more for him, Kyle met some lovely old people, all of whom treated him as the son they never had, making him feel like he had a family after so long. This eventually, helped him let go of his trauma and turned him into the lovely soul he was always meant to be. But as fate would have it, these same people, wanted for Kyle to pursue his dreams because they saw the potential for greatness in him and the wonderous things he could go on to do, even if Kyle himself was oblivious to it. So, in an effort to make his dreams come true, they ended up gifting him a brand new chance, one that Kyle himself would only go on to realize after his untimely death in a fatal car accident. Now awake in the new world, still orphaned but with a brighter perspective on life, Kyle, armed with a System, another gift from his loved ones in the previous world, decides to take the chance to pursue his dreams of being a star, one that he was unable to pursue in his previous life due to his lack of talent. This is the story of a man who will go on to become the most versatile and renowned superstar all over the world... and it starts, just as he takes his first step into the cutthroat world of fame and fortune by registering for the popular singing reality TV competition, 'Rising Voices'. Known to be a fiercely competitive TV show, Kyle will meet with top contestants from around the world, go up against them, level up and become better, and ultimately, battle with them for the number one spot in the show as a dark horse! --- |AUTHOR NOTE| Just wanted to make it clear, that the singing competition which will be the first arc of the novel, will end around the late twenty-ish or early thirty-ish chapters. After that, you can expect so much more from the story so look forward to it! Also, although the setting is in a parallel world, all the songs, scripts and movies (although I will draw inspiration here and there), will be originals penned by yours truly (-‿◦).

Though paralyzed, still radiantly charming!

VOLUME001 Ethan's dying wish I was left paralyzed with only a month to live, but that "9-inch" part of me was still hard as a rock. Even the sickly beautiful schoolgirl couldn't resist my "pecker," and to fulfill my dying wish, my sister even dressed up as a lady in black stockings to teach me how to "drill." What's more outrageous, the hospital nurses wanted to make a little movie with me, lining up with the head nurse at the front... Just after coming out of the emergency room, I saw the system panel: Name: Ethan Jones Gender: Male Length: 9 inches Skill: Hard as a Rock LV1 Note: Peak human hardness Dying Wish: To caress auntie's sheer black stockings Task Reward Points: 1000 points Despite my strength and stamina attributes being only at 1, and my agility at 0, only my "pecker" could lift the heavy blanket while doing squats. My face was full of question marks—what kind of bug is this system? Just because I like looking at auntie's legs, did it give me such a special skill? Now, I have no choice. I must complete tasks to earn points and add attribute points. However, the story actually begins 12 hours earlier... VOLUME002 Ryan's death mission Ryan had been diagnosed with late-stage heart disease, and as he neared the end of his life, he unexpectedly received a miracle drug from Ethan that brought him back from the brink. But Death wasn’t ready to let him go just yet. A year later, during a rescue mission at an orphanage fire, Ryan tragically lost his life. But did he really die? No, Ryan awakened a whole new system. Wait, what? He has to be killed by five girls, one after the other? The only way to come back to life is to die? What kind of twisted logic is that?! But if that’s the only way to survive, then so be it... Just, could you all not feel bad about killing me? And falling in love with me—what’s that about??? The gears of his fate quietly begin to turn... VOLUME003Ethan's new body Ethan has traveled back in time and gained the ability to swap bodies with a girl named Lila.

As always, my opinion as the Author of this dandy tale means that this review is completely unbiased and has no ulterior motives to get you to read this first. In other words, let’s start the review! So, The Depra King is a short book, only going to be about 20-21 chapters, give or take a couple chapters depending on how the writing process goes. But the chapters are long, most easily going beyond 5k words a chapter. If that’s daunting to you, since I know that most stories on here are only 1-1.5k words a chapter, then come back later I guess? For the adventurous however, you’ll find that this is no ordinary story. The prologue basically tells you what’s up, and the rest of the story is how the main character, The Depra King (I love word play) handles it. This is basically a slice of life series, about how a depressed boy tries to overcomes many hurdles, both internal and external, to try to be a better person, to overcome the challenges of depression, and maybe find a little love too. The side characters, I feel, are what truly help him grow as a person. They each, in their own unique way, try to help the protagonist reach out of his shell, in order to become the person they know he can become. This story isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay. It’s gonna hurt watching him, as he struggles to find happiness, but that’s the point of the story. It’s about the journey he takes to reach the happiness, and while he may make mistakes, as we all do since we’re only human, it hurts him a lot to reach the point of happiness. And, finally, the sort of fantasy side of things. This is a part of The Hidden Power Saga, and so he does indeed have an ability that won’t be revealed until the end, so theorize away, all though none of you will really get what it is until Saga 5…

As a guy who only read up to chapter 5, which you'll soon see right next to my name once I drop this as a review, here are the points I can say. Let's start with what I love, The characters are abundant and they individually have personalities that lets them feel real enough that the dialogues are amazing to read at times. (Strong emphasis on at times). I'm impressed at times (emphasis on this again) how well you handle a large cast without it feeling like it's overcrowding or having to pick and choose which character gets the spotlight, all of the characters present get equal amount of attention. The depiction of depression in the book feels really personal that I sympathize with Depra in some occasions. (For me it's the family aspect as well as the social anxiety). I would've liked the moments where his depression is triggered were more refined rather than raw. Moving onto the things I didn't enjoy. There isn't a lot really, but there are situations where I feel like I'm being forced to swallow how Depra feels and how I ought to sympathize with him. The family conflict would've been written much better if you had at least made the other side likable to some degree- you could've used his twin brother in that regard but that's just my take. Page breaks mate, we need to talk. The way you do 'em is bad. Just use .... and be done with it. On that note, please don't use them all the time 'cause at times I feel like I'm reading scenarios rather than an entire book- you could've seriously split chapters rather than making page breaks but these are just my personal feelings. All in all, I'd give you all 5s on this.

I personally don't feel like I am the type of person to read through the novel. It feels like the novel is the type you read if you are already invested in it, not to actually get invested in it. Whilst reading through the text I realize that the text doesn't necessarily pack punches. I think the author needs to work on foreshadowing a bit more in order to make the emotions really come out. Expectations getting broken is usually the way to circumvent the reader's defence mechanism. And it doesn't have to be plot twists or anything. Let's say we got a character, if you make that character act really friendly for the first half of the text and then someones shits on them, it feels more vivid and more offensive. The vocabulary is good, the mystery feeling the author tries to establish comes off really well. It doesn't feel like the author is giving us the whole picture without the colours instead the author gives puzzle bits and lets you add them together which is really well done. On that aspect, the author does a good job. I feel like a large part of the novel is a story not worth telling, again don't get me wrong. There are certain parts that are good, but the book doesn't play off its unique premise enough. That makes it bland and boring. The characters feel fleshed out. I would say the author attempted to make them realistic, but the author confuses what makes a character realistic. In the author's mind, realism is acting how you are supposed to act but I think it's good characters written well. A character that is engaging and consistent becomes realistic to a degree in our heads. Think about the genie from Aladdin, he felt real but the way he acted and what he was wasn't real. Or a dragon could feel real, it's all about how well written it is. The characters themselves don't feel real if they are depicted acting normally.
