Story is well written with few fillers, but its weakness is MC who is hypocrite , guillable , patsy and tbh dumb. He saves random youths even without knowing if he would be able to kill those beasts( he has been mistreated his whole life and bullied so his feelings in a dog eat dog world make no sense), ends up trusting a family enough to show his eyes , even after being warned by someone few minutes ago , which he known for no more than for few minutes . He knows he is an extra but still thinks them of as family, naively tells his discovery to his teacher which he should not and tries some experiment on his second soul bond while he could have waited to find one with better potential.... Taking undue risk. At the end , someone like him wouldn't survive in real world, and his actions scream plot armour Author says it again and again that he is mature but in reality he is emotional mess without much rationality to back his actions. Read but don't waste your spirit stones or pass on it as his character growth stops at chapter 10.

To be honest, I don´t really think you´ve read everything intently...The MC is 13 years old and lost his mother a few years before that, which should be clear. He saved the youth´s because he wasn´t sure if he could face beasts head-on but assassinating is something completely different, right? You already said that he was bullied and so on, but he ends up trusting the ONLY one that didn´t treat him badly (Greg). Is attaching yourself to someone reliable that bad?!?. Seeking protection because he is weak is the same... He even helped him, turning his school-life into a better situation by preventing anyone from bullying him...He was warned about his eyes, but why the hell should he care? His eyes are obvious(golden) and not something easy to hide if Jason wants to live comfortable... Revealing his eyes to the Fler´s could have been a bad choice, but that´s not instantly dumb (in my opinion). The only thing I agree with you is Jason´s idiotic idea to experiment with his second soulbond.. He could have waited and he acted too impatient, but everything about that is character growth... Thanks for your review, but I don´t really think that you should be able to tell if there will be character growth or not if you just don´t get it. (Shallow character growth with him befriending Greg and Malia, but who am I to tell you that...]

He lost his mother few years ago ... but has he not been treated as trash for his life ? He should be bitter instead of being whiteknight warrior , why should he care about opinions of others..... that guy mistakenly pressured MC enough to scare shit out of him and is it not common sense that they might try to manipulate him or capture him ? I have a gut feeling you should pick this one then shows eyes..... Every chapter their is paragraph dedicated to praise his intelligence and maturity but everything he has done which includes trusting a random family about his unique pet ( who can evolve beyond his limit)which was not needed. If he is so smart , did he not consider that his pet or he might end up as guinea pig in some lab ? Greg's sister was hostile to him initially. At the end, he acts as if he is protected by plot armour not as someone cautious would. He himself experimented on his soul bound but criticises sacrificing one while also going on killing spree.... Perhaps I am incapable of understanding his character but from what I do his character is flawed

His Character is definitely flawed and I don´t want to deny that. In the end, I probably did a few mistakes in assessing a perfect character, but he is mature for his age and intelligent, even though he acts like a child with a naive main characteristic(which is not that good considering that humanity is trash) His naivety was planned but writing that he was mature and intelligent too many times was most likely the biggest mistake. Please bear my mistake and consider that I wrote the first 60 chapters without any writing experience(To that time I hadn´t even released a single chapter yet) Thanks for your critique and after rereading my own reply, I´m a little bit ashamed because it was more offensive than I wanted it to be. I hope you didn´t take it to heart. <3

@lordlighthh you are right in the mc being praised a lit more than needed, but for his personality you eventually need to take into consideration that he's a kid and wont easily turn into a cold apathetic mc(terrible mc characteristics), him being naive is "logically" a problem but if the mc keeps monologuing himself and being pragmatic and having barely any emotions he will come off as a seasoned veteran who has everything under control, the mc trusting people and making mistakes is somwthing normal for his age and something i would rather let go rather than make the story very pragmatic, atleast early on when everyone around him is weak, we still dont know how his personality turns out when he grows up, he could become colder, become sarcastic, become like a "kiba" and become a casanova who sleeps around but doesn't do relationships. The mc definately needs to stop reacting negatively to the dog eat dog philosophy, and the killing intent,(of his teacher this chapter) you need to realize author this is not a transmigrated from earth mc, he lives in that world, which has been that way, his acceptance for dog eat dog isnt supposed to be low, their race has carved out a living that way, he should very easily embrace it, rather than being uncomfortable and wanting to fix the human race. Eventually you will also have to have him experience losses of oppurtunities, treasures and other things than letting him get everything like some son of heaven, so he can't be jealous and upset and mopey for long anyway so i say let the kid rock his emotions in his childhood arc✌️

The problem is that MC's mother is murdered, and just because MC is compensated for acting normally, not insisting on finding out who the killer is, MC only has a glimpse of thinking about finding the killer. like him mother is less important in him life, like an ordinary friend then killed and only a cursory thought about finding out who the killer is, or compensation is more important than his mother's life.

The MC tries to avoid thinking too much about his mother because he wouldn't be able to do anything if his mind would be too distracted by the thought of his mother. Even if he asked the Cerus-family who murdered his mother, it would create a negative effect on his mana absorption because of the constant distraction. Furthermore, the Cerus-family would most likely try to avoid answering him because they don't want to offend the opposite heir.

This is not reasonable. Who would stop thinking about such a matter simply because they can't do anything about it just yet? This is not something you can consciously think or not and its not something you can ignore just because you want to either.

That's true and it's not like he completely forgets her, right? The only thing the reader knows is the fact, that he occasionally thinks about her while trying to ease everything by comforting himself in any way. Trying to distract himself and not thinking about her is not the main goal, while our naive Mc's thought "is my mother's murder at least regretting it?" is hypocritical, which does not mean he never cared about her. Everyone behaves differently while thinking about their dead relatives. While some go insane with the thought of killing, others are eerie silent, while their core is boiling. Meanwhile, others are traumatized and behave completely out of ordinary. There are still other solutions to take on someones death, but I alraedy noticed that my description about our Mc's mothers death could have been better

Your book is too damn slow even with 2 soul bound his power or whatever is 10.3 after 100 or so chapters the Mc's character Is flawed no doubt, it builds character but his growth is to miniscule like everyone in this world is stronger even farmers hence he trains almost everyday. Ru telling us he's gonna catch up to people with 200 or more at this rate. Your killing your fan and readers atleast do a timeskips I don't want to read 50more chapters of this level. Then there's the killing intent pure plot armor is supposed to make him stronger??? Nah, Tge abyss technique now that was some good writing.

I don't really thing that this novel is so extremely slow if you consider his situation. In the end, he gained his eyesight only a few months ago while the same happened with his soul awakening. If the chapters are interesting, why shouldn't he be "weaker" than others? Furthermore he is not that weak anymore if you read until the last chapter :)

Agreed. This was pretty much my impression as well, he actually started as mature (for his age, 13) and after 10 he digressed to an idiot (for age 8) and seemed to stay that way. To be fair I just could not read past chapter 19.

wow you must have not read the tounament/earth dragon arc because that entire section of about 50 chapters is all filler, but I cant mistake you for that. Otherwise I agree with your assessment, and what the author really needs to do is take a break because i think its grinding him down and making him release subpar content.

Frankly, just imagining any person or the majority if they go through a great torment and it can be said that his mother was killed and abused, he will almost deviate and will become cold towards others and alienation from society and introversion. This is something inevitable only in your mind, you as an author, you will find this what will happen and do you think that 13 years is young and immature? This logic is only in our world so that those in the 13th year can be excused, but even in our world you find mature people even at their young age because of poverty or mistreatment, where it is possible because of a lack of study that he goes out to work and is responsible before the time and this we live with. As for your saying that MC is still young, this is not logical Just justify yourself frankly, and as I said in a cruel world, even ours, it cannot be said that Sen's logic justifies the matter.

This is my second review and I´ve currently released about 100 chapters before I even realized it. Time passed so fast, I want to clarify a few things that might have annoyed some readers or caused them to cringe :3 The following list might also help new readers to decide whether to read the story or not. 1. My native language is not English and unfortunately, my grammar and vocabulary are not perfect [Sorry for that] It might happen that the chapters from 1-60~ have some minor plot-holes/slightly weird character development and the reason for this is quite simple. I started to write this novel without any prior writing experience and in a foreign language at that. If you can´t bear to read a few grammar mistakes and minor overall mistakes it will be quite difficult for you to binge read or follow me on my journey. 2. There were some readers that couldn´t help but lament about the MC´s cringe-worthy behavior because he is emotional… Jason is a youth, barely 14 years old, and had to endure a tuff past… character development shouldn´t be over in a single chapter, right? Furthermore, due to his young age, he might act childish sometimes, even though he is used to behave like he already matured. 3. I’m sure that the MC will not have a Harem, but most likely a future romance sub-plot. 4. My Novel´s name is [God´s Eyes] but in the end, there are also other aspects, helping him to grow stronger. 5. The world our MC lives in is labeled “High-Fantasy” for a reason, please don’t try to use normal physical laws, even though I´m trying to make it a little bit realistic. 6. The story is unique, yet slow-paced and I did my best to improve my writing quality/style and every critique previously stated, but in the end, I´m just doing it as a hobby, because it´s exciting and interesting. I gave myself 4 stars because I see that I can improve myself further and I hope everyone will give it a try :3 Thanks for reading the review <3

This is less of a review, more of a first impression as I have read 20+ chapters while writing it. So my opinion might be incomplete. I apologize if something like that happens and would like others to correct me. I would like to start by thanking the author for his hard work and for such an amazing story. It has been quite a long time since I have read a web/light novel with a grounded and realistic MC as well as a well-built world setting. The story started with brief background information on how it all started and necessary information about different levels. It was a nice touch and magnificently done. I liked the temperament of MC. He is intelligent yet has the thought process of 13 years old. He is responsible but doesn't give the feeling of an old man in a young boy's body. His reaction to gaining his sight back, his way to deal with money, or his reaction to his current situation is all realistic, at least as realistic as it can be in a fantasy world. He is not like a typical LN/WN MC who thinks "I am gonna murder this guy's three-generation because he disrespected me by making fun of me" not is he a pushover. He handled his situation like a mature person with a hint of teenage flair (talking about that Middle-finger scene). Overall he is a pretty likable character. The magic system seems pretty simple and easy to follow. I don't have to check again and again which level is after what. The world setting is good so far, not too confusing. The pacing of the story is good so far. It is not going too slow or too fast. But I think there is some space to improve regarding these topics. So far I have talked about the good things of the story. Now let's talk about the things that can be improved. First thing, Proofreading. The story is mostly well written. But there are quite a few mistakes in grammar and sentence making that could have been avoided with a more round of checking. The number and frequency are not that high but still, it hinders the immersion. Next, supporting character development. If first 22 chapter is any indication, I think the author should spend a bit more time developing supporting/minor characters. We have only 1 noticeable supporting character till chapter 23 and it's Greg. He is hinted to be a main supporting cast and good friend of MC. But do we know anything about him other than he is rich and talented? We don't know anything about Greg as a person or feel connected to him. If it is solved in the latter part of the story then it's ok. However, I think it should have been much sooner. The world-building and background description are also much to be desired. For example, it helps the readers to visualize if you give a brief description of the Room MC is living in or the market and its shops when he went out shopping. Maybe a bit more description about people and environment when he went out for the first time after his sight was back. this would have helped us feel connected to the MC more. This part is some selfish request as a reader. Please keep the MC realistic and relatable like this. Don't make him like a thousand other MC whose improvement doesn't follow any logic or common sense. I am still miffed about that 120 points in the practical exam. MC has been blind and malnourished throughout his all life. Moreover, He doesn't exercise or haven't practiced the practical part at all. Suddenly 5 days after getting his sight back, He is using martial arts routine accurately and smoothly. And in these 5 days, he had to gather mana for the exam, learn how to read and write, prepare for the theoretical part of the exam and go out sightseeing. It is almost physically impossible for him to do this properly, no matter how easy the routine was. The craziest part is he got more points than Greg who is practicing longer than MC, has better development, and seems like a genius in martial arts. Please don't do things like this. Don't throw logic out of the window to bring sudden growth to MC or sudden character development. Please introduce a romantic interest but not a harem please. we have more than enough harem plot on this site. what we are lacking is a meaningful, non-harem romance. Please fill that void.

From the start to the recent chapters the story has flowed quite well with no jarring plots, its been written brilliantly, the world building has been done well as well but has to have a qualitative upgrade once more worlds are introduced, the human cultivation system while it might draw in readers because of the new beast system but is actually quite limiting, with barely the good soul world bearers having a chance at a high level and the rest having to accept mediocrity, body refining cultivation has now been introduced which is a good start already and with the mc being of a stronger race im guessing he'll also cultivate with that races system and bloodline which again would be a stronger system, when his bloodline awakens i hope the bloodline itself grants him a way to cultivate the way the celestia race does atleast For a book which the author says will only have about 1000 chapters we're alraedy almost 30% through with only about a year gone and no actual personality change in the mc, but just teenage growth, if the mc doesnt change much this story will somehow end up with an mc with a teenagers personality, no special personalities like being a sadist, womanizer, cold, evil,lazy, chilled out,and the chaotic good ones etc What we have is a person who nice and at best hot blooded for battle which is too basic for an mc hes basically got aside characters personality THe side charactets dont pose much attachment and are disposable in the sense the mc will leave them behind, hopefully that changes when he reaches a stronger race and makes friends Completing this story in 700 chapters kinda feels jarring, i expect multiple time skips to achieve that which i dont want to see in quick succesion, hopefully the author decides to keep taking it at a slow pace and extend the novel to about 1500 chapters atleast THe time flow needs a revamp, with the soul powers issue dealt with, and body refining being a long term thing, we dont need a day to day story, time can flow faster, if i ignore everything and just look at how at almost 300 chapters we've only had almost 1 year passing i must say its one of the world time passage sequences written, with there being no reason to have the mc start growing to the top in just a few years, and with him potentially having a long life span, the time definitely has to flow faster In essence except these minor issues to be dealt with the story itself is quite nice and has good potential the only thing to avoid i guess is an over fixation on the human race and making it reach the top, too many books have done that, and frankly books that dont focus on races to take up and focus on the mc and his companions and stuff as people more have a better plot
