Review Detail of Missrealitybites in The Alchemists

Clarity about this novel: This is like the whole 7 Harry Potter books packed under one. It means, the book "The Alchemists" is a compilation of 4 stories that are connected, but can be read as a standalone. It's not one story dragging for 1000 chapters. Each volume has around 250 chapters. GENRE: It is mostly slice-of-life about immortal people in the modern world with Volume 1 leans more on romance, Volume 2 more action/adventure, Volume 3 more drama and comedy, Volume 4 revenge drama. AGE RESTRICTION: Volume 1 is pretty safe, but from Volume 2 onwards there are quite a few mature scenes (graphic sexual scenes between loving couples), no rape nor angst of that kind. The sex scenes are done in good taste. WHO WILL ENJOY THIS BOOK? If you liked a slice-of-life story with a twist, interesting 3-dimensional characters, love for family, a pinch of fantasy, and don't mind a roller coaster journey called life.. you might find this book your cup of tea. VOLUME 1 The 438-year old Alchemist clan leader was never in love, until he met the only woman who couldn't care less about his good looks and massive wealth. And thus, for the first time in his life, he had to woo a woman. She seemed to only think about money. VOLUME 2 The world's most feared assassin was an immortal but he didn't know he was one. He thought he was a victim of human experimentation during Hitler's time and his whole life he only had one goal: to rule the world and decide on who got to live. VOLUME 3 The wealthiest tycoon in 2050 was an immortal. He was raised in his parents' ivory tower and didn't have many friends. One day, he decided to go in disguise as a poor photographer among regular humans to make friends. Unfortunately, he got schemed by bad people into sleeping with the worst golddigger in Europe. He had to take responsibility when she was pregnant with his child, while still pretending to be poor. Will he let her know that he was actually wealthy? Why is she so adamant of wanting to marry a wealthy and powerful man? VOLUME 4 Even though the world's most feared assassin had turned over a new leaf after he found his family and became happy, he couldn't reverse time and erase the fact that he had killed too many people. On one fine summer day, he had to face his crime when the past came back to haunt his family.
