I love adventure stories so I thought I would get into this one. Boy was I wrong. For the first 3 chapters he spends trying to get a fruit out of a F--ing tree. So I think it can't be like this through the whole novel right? So I check the titles of the chapters. It takes him 6 chapters to get to the city 11 chapter to find out about his sister. I mean you know its bad when not only does he spend 4 or five paragraphs describing the characters face. But he also uses needlessly complicated words like sclera and umbra. Could have just said whites of his eyes and deep brown. All in all the set up looked good but action is no where to be seen in first 3 chapter which does not draw me in and make me want to read more. And its toooo looong winded giving the pace a needlessly slow speed making you fell like your drowning in description.

You've read the third chapters, then checked the titles of the others.. found no action, even though the fourth chapter is called "Battle between beasts".. it's a long novel. The description of the main character is important. I can't imagine how little patience you have if in the first 15 minutes of reading you're already sickeded by the lack of action. This is a fantasy, and an adventure novel.. not a game of call of duty.. and liking your own review won't give it more legittimacy.

Defending Your Own Story doesn't give you any legitimacy either. Of course you like it that's your story. Also I never said you were a bad writer but the pace of a story is what draws me in personally and I can tell the pace of the story wasn't going as fast as i would have liked and I didn't see it turning changing anytime soon. And of course I like my own comment just like you're defending your own book and I'm sorry but 3 chapters in this day in age people on the move they don't have time to spend reading books that they finally find out they did not like in the end so the first few chapters will set the tone for the rest of the book.

This is a webnovel, and an adventure at that. What I strongly disagree with is, the legitimacy of a critique which was based on three chapters.. Anybody that has read a book in their lives knows that the first part of the book is made to introduce characters, and present the world setting. If you want to focus on the story, you can also present the end of a specific event, and then go back in time to explain what led to that event. And to be fair, I could have even understood the superficial way of reading that you've described, but your comment was not a real review. It was a complaint. "For the first 3 chapters he did this and not that" - "No action in the first 3 chapters, so I've read the titles.." - "He uses difficult words".. This I am not willing to take it in silence. It might be a "legitimate" review based on your standards of what a novel should be, but if I have to keep it in my page, and have people read it before they even give my book a chance, I have the right to say mine about it, right? My review of your reading ability is that: You don't start a book with an open mind, and are mind is aggressively locked on what you want. You want an adventure that is set on full action from the very first sentence. You want the writing to be easy and comprehensible, and when you run out of patience (very quickly I may add), you skip ahead to find support to your claims, and an excuse to drop the novel. You then make your complain clear, and unnecessarily harshly, despite not having had spent enough time on the work to be able to evaluate it completely. I give your reviewing abilities 1 and a half stars. (note how none of my points are talking specifically about my book.. I'm just assuming based on how you've formulated your entire review.) I am not trying to be offensive or harsh here. I swear I am not.. I truly believe that, with the type of character, you would be better fit in ready comicbooks or watching anime. That will give you adventure, action 24/7, and definitely comprehensible wording. Thank you for your review.

I actually will have most of those removed. I was in recommended in both the site and the app.. and that lead my novel to receive almost 100 spam reviews for exp or whatever.. There are also multiple negative ones.. unfortunately. Anyway, yours is one that will stick, because despite I really don't like the way you approach adventure webnovels, I wouldn't remove a thought out review. But since it contributes to lower my score.. for the people who will decide whether to get into my book based on the negative reviews, I have to explain why you can't trust certain reviews. The reason why it irritates me, is that (believe it or not) there are certain factors that will lead people to read or not read a novel. Two of those, are a low rating, and a bad review. I think they are the fourth and sixth factors with the most contribute to it. Yours is one of the few non-spam reviews I can actually try to examine and debate. It's like a yelp review.. food is good, service is good, the place is nice and clean, the music is nice and doesn't disturb.. but here goes a 1 star because the fork was a little dirty.. I'm not really okay with, just like restaurant owners aren't..

I am sorry author, but did you just say anime? How dare you judge a person’s taste in media type based on a ****ty review?. I like anime and I was just about to start reading your novel, but i guess i will have to make a reconsideration since you just decided to insult approximately 1 billion people for one bad/stupid review while explaining to the reviewer how they should not judge a book by its cover (which is actually good advice) or its first 2 chapters and chapter names; while judging an entire form of media based on the intelligence of one reviewer. Such Hypocrisy

it is just that we have been reading very fast and crappy novels with no good character description that we feel novels like these boring and not good... The fact is this novel is really good.. the fact that author can describe the characters and the environment like we are living in it is exceptionally rare.. i Love this novel.. at first i was like you.. like so long and slow and boring.. but after reading some chapters it is really good.. u should try is again

Man you are missing sooooo much not reading the novel. The author saw that hes(the person in question) not starting the novel with open mind and he accused him of too long descriptions so he just wanted his novel to be like an anime but its a webnovel no graphics and stuff... so the author needs to add character descriptions. Sorry for my bad English.

The author never said that you can't like both, he just pointed out that anime would be preferable in his case.

The story starts quite causaly, yet powerfully. Unlike most novels, Daniel the MC is not really chasing for power, he has to acquire it in order to keep his home safe, his home well, his friends close. Yet calamity after calamity happens /honestly if I didn't know I would think the author purposely causes those disasters./ Here comes someone insanely creative @SometimesItalk, just when you think he's done, comes the new arc, riding on a meteorite, ruptured by the Dragon king's tail, while fighting an ancient futuristic god, then zombies, lasers, something unimaginable, how does it even make sence. Eh, it does anyway. A few genres pretty well connected. The character development is really deep and well diffused throught the chapters, you feel like you know those people, there is not that boring moment of walls of text of description of a mustache, yet you know exactly how does it look like, why the character decided to develop a mustache, and guess that he uses the same care as your uncle Thomas. The world is real, lol it is, pretty much as the characters, not being avalanched by plain text, roughly explained making clear outlines of the scene. Just let your imagination work. You will either forget those little details or submerse in there. Honestly I got past the first chapter pretty hard. What is hard. Well it took me three whole days to read a single chapter. After that I read a few chapters and really liked it. Despite it was pretty causal, it had potential, he caused it and he used it. Till I caught up I couldn't keep reading. (ATTENTION : addictive!) The writing got much better, yet it had some gaps and flaws, sometimes misunderstanding, hell which novel here doesn't, it isn't a professional thing. The novel has the potential to reach the End and forth. @Webnovel itself should assign a good editor and eventually bring this story further. Well it's not close to done yet. (I hole so!) So let's not put the carriage in front of the hobbit. So in one word, again: Addictive, pretty well written with a lot of passion for the novel itself and the readers. Well this is the best thing here yet not many of the authors use the opportunity to communicate with the readers. Edit: It is not paid. 😅😂 For sure if you like novels like this, if you don't, if you don't care /surely I don't care cuz it doesn't matter/.. • • • • • • • • • • • • GIVE IT A TRY! • • • • • • • • • • • •

On the day of the Awakening, humanity was forced to defend against an invasion of countless monsters from the towers that connected realms across the multiverse. While billions of people died helplessly, billions more seized the opportunities hidden behind the horrors spilling out of the gates. Leveling up, growing stronger, awakening talents, learning supernatural skills, changing one's very race, and even achieving immortality all became possibilities. But for Damian, who was suffering from a sickness that would kill him within a few years, the Awakening was a curse. While other humans awakened powerful talents, hunted monsters, and evolved, Damian remained talentless, a liability and a burden the awakened had to carry. Damian never wanted to be seen as weak or useless, but what could he do? He was dying. If only he had awakened a talent or at least possessed a stronger body, he might have been able to level up and cure his sickness. But he couldn’t. All that would change when a mysterious figure set him on a path that would lead him to his true destiny. Witness the rise of a warrior who would make countless men tremble in fear. Witness the rise of a monster who would force every race, every being, and every existence to kneel. Witness the rise of the Champion.
