I have already finished this book so expect some minor spoilers This a book that used some popular and widespread concepts dungeon like gates that caused Apocalypse mc is ruthless vampire you probably saw it enough times that you're starting to get sick of it Despite the book's extra edginess it still has a solid story for the most part and what differentiates it the most from others like it is that the mc isn't a loner he gets subordinates who he later treats like friends and even gets a wife and children despite being a ruthless villain he still cares about his people and helps them grow stronger with him making him able to overcome situations he couldn't get through alone Most characters have great back stories and go through satisfying character growth a perfect example is admantine i am sure anyone who read the book with agree with me but i won't mention why i will keep it to those who read the book The world background could be said to be one of the strongest points of this book but that is most likely because like most of the novels from pancakes witch this book is part of the same universe as with most of her books(you should check them too by the way) Though this book unfortunately drops a bit in quality near the end compared to pancake's other works it still at least has a proper ending or as the chapter title says a "bitter end hopeful future" because while it might have ended we are expecting a sequel that i personally expect to be much better I would recommend this book to anyone considering reading its sequel and those who don't mind a bit of edginess

I'll start off by saying that if you have read any of Pancakes' other novels you'll know what to expect from this novel. I'm not the best at writing reviews, but I'll try my best (going all out for my favorite author on this site). CURRENT READING STATUS: Chapter 40 Writing Quality: Pancakes has great writing quality, grammatical errors are extremely rare. The most obvious errors is when Pancakes mistakes character names for characters from their other novels. This isnt a big deal, however it might bother some readers. Stability of Updates: All that I can say is that Pancakes has a fantastic update schedule and all of their novels are updated regularly and all of these updates leave you wishing it was a mass release! Pancakes announces all release for their novels on their discord, so be sure to join if you want to be the first to read the new chapters. (Shameless fan promotion!) Story Development: If you have read EoC or DQR then you know that Pancakes has created and hinted at their novels being part of a larger universe, more on this in the world background section. Progression wise, the story moves at what I find a good pace. There is action which drives power progression and everything in-between for character development. Character Design: I really enjoy the characters introduced throughout the novel so far. Noah the protagonist experienced the cruelty of being weak in a power based society, and didnt let his experiences consume him. While he yearns for greater strength, he isn't a brainless cultivation novel young master that challenges everyone for the slightest transgression against him. He builds connections with those he surrounds himself with, while it may be due to his abilities, I believe it to be part of his character. The supporting characters close to our MC aren't monotonous and boring and all have their own quirks and back story that make them unique. World Building/Background: I really enjoy novels with dungeons appearing during modern times. I get some Solo Leveling vibes with variation that doesn't make this type of world setting dull. This can be seen in how hunter progress, and aren't locked or stuck in their ranks like other dungeon novels. The system functions in the novel aren't ridiculously blown out of portion, each aspect makes sense for the world, and our MC. The system in this novel is quite similar to the systems in Pancakes' other novels. Besides this Pancakes layers in bread crumbs that connect with all of their other novels, and all of these aspects leave the reader curious as to how Pancakes is going to trickle in elements from their other novels. All mythical elements that Pancakes incorporates all extremely well researched (when applicable) and fall into place perfectly. In conclusion I really enjoy reading any of Pancakes' novels and this novel is no exception. There are consistent updates, all of which are of high quality. Give the novel a shot and see what happens. Hope that you enjoy it as much as I have so far.

Real Score: 3.9/5 (12/28/21 See you in 2022 Webnovel, Also FIX YOUR SCORING SYSTEM ALREADY!) Title: Just stick with it, cuz it has some cool concepts later on. I'm going to say this now, but you probably won't like the story right away and normally I advocate just skipping something if it doesn't catch your attention all the way. I'd rather eat an average, plain-old five course meal to its end, than a five course meal that only has one or two good servings. But, an analogys aside if you get through the boring, borderline edgelord emo- goth Pandering fist chapters main character you will be rewarded with: Robot Girls. I am dead serious that was the only reason I slogged through this horrible beginning of a story for the very personal interest in robot girls. Yea, its selfish. So What! I slogged through the opening, I write the reviews. So, I get to make the rules. NO COMPLAINING! For the rest of the story it does get better later on, but again I've never advocated a story for that reason. Even if fans don't come back to that story arc, to re-read it. They should be interesting to read and explore on the first read- through. If you want some cool vampire powers the protagonist does some pretty cool stuff with blood powers later on. And it's got some pretty cool high- concept stuff that you can take away from. But Pancakewitch has done better story's at this point in time and they're more worth your time and attention. But if you just want a somewhat competent Power fantasy, then this works.

Earth's Greatest Magus

#Top 20 Webnovel Best Sellers 2021, 2022, 2023, and in 2024 #### History is said to be written by the victors. If so, how about Earth's history? Two millennia ago, a young boy named Emery met a tragic fate. In his final moments, he was transmigrated and accepted into the Universe's most prestigious school of magic. “You are among the chosen few from thousands of human worlds. Whether you seize this opportunity or not, is up to you. You are at Magus Academy, the pinnacle of humanity's ingenuity. Magic, science, and might are all within reach for those who dare to pursue them." [Scan complete - Quadruple affinity. Water, Earth, Plant, and Darkness.] "A quadruple acolyte! Only one in tens of thousands of acolytes possess this!" Thus began Emery’s journey together with his 4 friends from the furthest corner of Earth. Each year they returned to Earth to grow, seek revenge, save the princess, conquer the world, and become Earth's Greatest Magus. Their names are still etched in our history books to this day. Authors Note: I have always been fascinated by writing fantasy relating to historical facts. In this story, you will find characters inspired by real-world myth and legend. The universe I created hopefully will make the reader's imagination excited and logically plausible. I hope you enjoy it. ### Here are some key aspects you'll encounter: MC: The protagonist follows the classic weak-to-strong arc. World: Picture a blend of Harry Potter and Star Wars. System: While it's primarily a magic-based story, there's a structured system in place that's easy to follow. Additionally, elements of cultivation. Harem: No, there are several female interests. But I enjoy romance first. So even if there will be more than one love interest it will be deep. Note: English is not my first language, but you'll notice that my writing and English skills gradually improve throughout the chapters. Other: The novel delves into deep research on science and history, enriching the storyline with factual and intriguing details. Give it a read—you might be pleasantly surprised by what unfolds.
