Review Detail of sumwale in Rebirth of the Phoenix God
Review detail
Well I tried hard on this one but gave up. The story, world background etc is intriguing. But the writing is simply hard to follow. Events are only partially described, the pacing is fast and haphazard, and it is quite hard to follow the events while only an overview can be grasped. The MC is like dazed most of the time whether the start of the book, middle or even the latest chapters. The main problem is that I as a reader is also dazed most of the time as the events are described in that "dazed" manner. Overall though I cannot pinpoint exactly all the issues with the writing, it was taking too much of my brain where I expect easy to follow stuff in these web novels. And frankly this is the first time I encountered such a situation in a web novel. It could be a problem with me, so I would still say try out 20 chapters or so before deciding but personally I cannot recommend this one.

This novel was never intended to be the type of simple story that webnovel is full off. It was aimed to tell the story that I had in my mind for a long time, and with the use of the writing style that shows the real struggle of the main character that knows almost nothing about the innate details of the world that he lives in. Instead of giving everything on the platter like it often happens in other novels, I aimed to make sure that the reader would have a realistic ride in the Fen's shoes. No backseating, no spoilers, no friendly narrator giving the answers to all the questions that appears. I do realise that Webnovel might not be the best place to put this kind of story, but given how its a part of a greater whole, I still decided to go through with it.
