Wow! Thanks for the kind words man, it means a great deal! My plan is to improve my writing over the course of the book, and then go back and raise the old parts up to the new standard, so hopefully as the book goes on, it should get even better. Thanks again :)

romance or no romance

ye there is some romance

I don't like romance it ruins the story so, good luck with your novel hope your next one has no romance/harem and instead full focus on mc pursuit for power or eternal life

ah, well, Beam is pretty much all about progress atm. He isn't dating anyone, and probably won't be for a long time. His main friend is a girl, so there's a romance tension there at times, but it isn't the focus of the story. idk if that meets your criteria

“Friends” are just baggage that can be used and be thrown away when u are done with them as there is no such thing as a “friend” in front of death and power. Mc has to focus on himself and not have friends and if he does only use them to get to where he wants then leaves or kills them:)

why dont you post on royal road the community there will like this book or do you a contract with webnovel

ah, i got it contracted a couple of months ago, but it's fineee, I'm chill with slowly building up an audience

This is such a dumb and mentally childish take that it makes me question if you have a brain or if you’re a 5-year-old. In the modern era, people like you never get anywhere in life, and this era is where people have the most amount of self-sufficiency and solo survival, and even in these times, we need others to be able to climb the ladder. The dumbest part is that you use this logic and put it on civilization, which would be during the Roman Empire where people had to group up together in order to survive as if a person got a sickness or infection, there was a high chance they would be dead and there was also the threat of bandits who were known for raping and killing civilians. So next time you comment, use that small brain—well, whatever’s left of it—at least to think a bit before spouting nonsense.

O no did the retard get mad? I did not know you are the author of this novel commenting under

You're one messed up sad human. I hope you don't actually adhere to the ideology you spouted in your comment. It is a sad life not having friends amd family you can trust and rely on.

You're a clown. Let the author write what they want. Stop being entitled

Will there be a partner or will the romance only be teased throughout the story?

Eventually there'll be one for sure, once the timings right and it's appropriate.

That is your own opinion. Dont read it if you dont like romance

I think you should just give this book to a publisher Author. The story has a really slow in pacing, might as well print it into a book and sell it

He said it was his own opinion ?? Even said good luck.

This one is a psycho. I bet you are a loner and dont have friends

Did this work out for you? I am asking as a fellow (noob) author. I just like the chill you have in this comment.
