Review Detail of Endlez in Genius Seventh Prince
Review detail
Don't think this review needs a spoiler tag... just tiny spoilers when it gets to plot holes... The story is pretty refreshing, has good character design and lots of detail. Honestly I enjoyed most of the reading, and I understand that since the MC is young and has shining traits most people would think he's a girl, the comedy was nice at first, but then it stops being funny. I guess this story just isn't my cup of tea. Though I don't necessarily dislike stories that focus on MC's young age (under 10) for a lot of chapters, here the mc feels too mature for his age (and a lot of people around his age are too mature as well). He is neither reincarnated nor has any legacy or 'grandpa' figure in the story which makes me feel that him being mature at 5 is forced by the author. And the way other girls talk about marriage when they also are just a few years above him doesn't feel well. A time skip when MC is so young would be much better imo, but hey, people have different tastes. MC also gets dragged around a lot, and from what I see, he always complains instead of taking action. Gets mad at everyone for treating him as a girl but does nothing about his looks. Complains about his long hair but doesn't cut it. There's a few plot holes, but nothing too major, such as a 20 year old beast having little magical achievements, then suddenly once mc starts 'cultivating' the beast matches his own cultivation rate. MC is praised as a genius by his teachers since he is so young yet has such a high level (for his age), but kids a few years older are much stronger then him even though they aren't geniuses or anywhere close. MC has a lot of elements which is like never seen kind of super-rare, yet can't beat someone a few level stronger than him (but in the same realm). I'll be dropping this here, but hey, if you enjoy stories with a lot of focus on when mc is young go for it. It's also much better than any fast-food stories you find. Though this doesn't feel like a 4.5 star for me, at the very least its way better than most 4 star stories on this website since too much 5 star spam happens.

Hey, thanks for the honest review (I also appreciate the 4.5 even if that's not exactly how you feel :D). Yeah, I started the girly looks thing for an easy laugh but it also got old for me. Just, if I suddenly stopped mentioning it that would feel kind of sudden so I kept it going until a time skip. I totally get that he was too mature at his young age, I guess I just realized too late that I wanted him to be older but the story was not really prime for a time skip at that point. I guess my biggest thing with why other kids are stronger than him is because I did not want him to be some god-like person where all the limitations no longer apply. I've read way too many novels with the same lines, "I thought no one could do that?!" or "He's the first person ever capable of..." or when MCs can just completely ignore differences in levels and powers bc of some talent or special cultivation. I just wanted him to be talented and someone who could defeat people in his age group not all these old ancient elders because he can skip like as many levels as he wants. That way it would not end up where his friends would be completely useless because Greyson is always stronger than them by far. I do feel that in avoiding that I went too far the other direction where he cannot defeat almost everyone he meets. I'm working to find the balance. Sorry to hear that you are dropping, I hope you might try my novel again at one point!
Hey, I probably won't try this novel again, but if if/when you start a new one, I'll def. give it a shot. Love your writing style its just this story that isn't for me. I won't read something that frustrates me too much since then I wouldn't be reading as a hobby. I'm sure most people will enjoy this, and most people will stick to it especially if its not a harem. About the mc's friends being useless if he's too op, I get what you mean. Each novel has a different approach to this, whether it's killing all friends/family off, giving them OP bloodlines or having an OP master, letting them vanish in the background, and so on. Each story where MC is considered a super rare talent will have to balance out the power levels among mc and those close to him somehow, so that the characters remain relevant and this is just the way you did it. The stories that I enjoyed the most, is where MC is not a master of all trades but where he had his own few domains where his is considered at the very top, and then for the other things he relies on those around him. This way both the MC and those around remained relevant throughout most of the story.
