From the first story alone, you are presented with a curious probability. It is a question of morals, and though short, the MC’s dilemma is quick to turn from his lament at the mundanity of his work and life and co-workers to a resounding horror at what something as simple as wishing it all away wrought. It begs the question: what would you do if you could make anything and anyone disappear with a single thought? The remaining stories not only showcase the authors grasp of the English language, but their understanding of style of communication that is both informative but without having to show everything. The characters are fleshed out, entire beings with thoughts and emotions and goals — they are flawed and utterly human. The sentences flowed beautifully and seamlessly and applaud must be given to the written for being versatile with not only the different genres, but also seeing to their characters being singular individuals that are not cut-and-copies of generic tropes, and their world building skills.

Thank you for your kind words! Although I don't have very much interaction with people socially, I do my best to use my limited experience to create three-dimensional characters with clear personalities and flaws.

A collection of short stories of different universes and timelines, much involved in the question of morality, philosophy and behaviour. It feels like I'm reading Philip Dick's or Liu Cixin's works. Writing Quality: The writing quality is great. Little if not, no mistakes. I find the writing very logical, which is a writing style on its own. Stability of Updates: From the history of updates, it looks a little erratic but stabilised to a more consistent update now. Hope this continues. Story Development: Despite the nature of a collection of short stories, the story development is good and has a lot of potentials. Each story has its own interesting plot. However, I think the stories' potential is cut short. I understand that its a freewrite and a standalone can be done if requested by many, but I don't think each stories' true potential is shown yet. Character Design: I think character design is the main weakness of the author. The characters in every story feels one-dimensional, maybe not enough time to flesh out their personalities. Every main character sounds logical but devoid of human emotions. I actually liked the side characters more than the main ones. Most of the time, the main characters feel anti-social and technical. It would be really nice to have some variation to have the readers sympathise with your characters. World Background: I think this is the author's strong point. The world background is introduced in detail, even with limited words. I really like the context, the landscape, the background, the setting. It is written in an immaculate fashion. Very well done. 5 stars.

Wow. Its my first time to encounter a work such as this. A collection of short stories. I was fooled by the first chapter, thinking its the beginning of a novel. Though I have to say, the author really writes beautifully. These prompts are thought-provoking, for they leave you with questions that makes you wonder what happens next. Its as if you were given the overview of the story but its up to you how it ends. That's definitely something new. Please continue writing. You have a promising talent for it.

The title of this book draw me to this book and I find the blurb funny yet exciting that I have reviewed without baiting a eyes. I love the way The blurb was written but I wished there were words to read in it. The truth remains I just want to find out what this book is all about as the blurb attracts my attention already. If not disappointed as I strongly believe I wouldn't, I will recommend this book for all of you. ♥️

This is really something! I actually wanted to read a book like this. The way the author wrote each story had a different feel, and it makes me curious about the next one! I would also like to add that the descriptions are detailed so it is easy to imagine each scene, and the grammar is perfect! Great work 🙋‍♀💞🚢

Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

In a world where summoners wield the power to call forth vampires, elves, angels, demons, and all humanoid creatures from across the realms, Nathan found himself unable to summon beings except from beasts.  However, those beasts are not ordinary beasts. They are divine beings who once stood at the same level, if not higher, than the legendary creatures the world ever knew.  Casting his gaze to the left, Nathan sees numerous summoners accompanied by the likes of demon kings, archangels, vampire progenitors, and other legendary beings. Turning to the right, a massive army of alien symbiotes is waiting to attack.  There was no fear in his eyes, because standing on his left is a majestic wolf who managed to kill a god, the legendary eight-headed serpent coils on his right, above him is the bird who is glowing like the sun, and behind him is a dragon that once gnawed the roots of the world tree.  “Let the war begin.”

"…W-Wh…He" "I'm sorry, sir, but you need at least a bachelor's degree to apply." "…I-I am…Heh" "We can’t approve a loan without collateral." "…W-Why?" "Your father’s a politician, right? So, you know…" "…" The so-called society didn't welcome him very well... Yet, He pressed forward! After years of struggle, he finally secured a job—only to be reminded of his place. "Yeah, yeah… I know you got the job thanks to me. So don’t ever contact me or MY parents again," his brother sneered. "...Heh..." And just when he thought he had finally earned a sliver of recognition— "HONK!! HONK!!" Fate was merciless. A split second, a cruel twist, and his already miserable life came to an abrupt end. Yet, as the darkness closed in, he screamed into the void— “I JUST WANT TO LIVE!!!!!” A will that even the universe listened. !~Ding~!
