One of the better stories I've read here, as it's neither the trope of cultivate, get Jade beauty and do face slap nor progression fantasy, litrpg math simulator. Instead, it's a refreshing take on a transmigrated MC who doesn't immediately become overpowered with some system (though there is a system) and becomes an edgelord Jesus It is a protagonist who's slowly coming to terms with his new reality and life as a cat slave, and a noble with a complicated past. The world building is rich and detailed, with enough references to the real world that it's not completely novel. The characters are for the most part well developed and rich in depiction. There are some kinks to be worked out, such as the evil for evil bully prince but they're minor and can be easily addressed in the future. One issue is that the story meanders, lavishing detail on characters to make it seem like they matter, but ultimately are nothing more than the character of the day type. Not an entirely bad thing, but considering the novel format, it's difficult for the reader to keep track of a character who was introduced 40 chapters ago who gets referenced now.

Yeah. I never expected how expansive the cast would be when I first started writing this but have gotten to the point I'm resigned to cutting out a lot in narration to keep to the main storyline. Too much screen time and it would detract from the story of Mattheus Crown himself. (My outline is already pretty long and meandering would make it even longer...) On the other hand, I told my CE I didn't plan on adding side-stories once I finish this but have since changed my mind, haha. Too many unheard stories due to the main story following Mattheus instead of others like Lula, Holmes, or even Brunilda when she's off gallivanting around. Thanks for reviewing!

Hello, I am here to write my belated shameless review of my own novel. The Healing Crown is a story centered around a guy that has been transmigrated, isekai’d, or whatever you want to call it. His original world was much like ours, with only a slight addition of every human being hosts to a very basic System. Said System was useless in his old world with humanity itself being its host, until our MC finds himself in a world where he is now the sole host of the System… There’s a whole menagerie of characters in this story, all fully developed and complex individuals. No OP Gary-Stu main character and flat caricature villains to face-slap here. MC starts with advantages, of course, but he will have to work for those power upgrades. Character growth for the win! The world and its history, culture, and mysteries are also fleshed out. It’s slowly being revealed as the story progresses but there is a reason for everything. Including the fact the MC being dimensionally kidnapped might not be so random. ;) I’m not even going to say much about the plot, other than the fact everyone can probably find something to interest them. Politics, mystery, horror, humor, et cetera. The only thing The Healing Crown won’t have is a harem (unless the actual harem of certain kings counts). Try it out and make a judgment on my writing ability yourself. But if you like titles such as Plague Doctor, Lord of Mysteries, or Grandson of the Holy Emperor is a Necromancer, you should definitely give The Healing Crown a read. Daily updates at the moment, which might be increased if the demand is high. Now, back to being buried and entangled in all the subplots of The Healing Crown I go...

I Can Copy And Evolve Talents

Across the vast convolution of worlds, divine beings rule as absolute sovereigns—each god assigned dominion over a singular realm. Skirmishes are inevitable, whether for power, amusement, or sheer pettiness. One such battle, between Nexus, the God of Trickery, and an aging, senile deity, resulted in an anomaly… A soul misplaced. Elliot, an ordinary man, was never meant for Ul’Tra-el. But fate, or perhaps a cosmic prank, had other plans. Unlike other worlds, Ul’Tra-el is an aberration—one that developed a voice. A voice that diverged from the natural order. A voice that changed everything. Its foundation cracked, leaking dimensions into one another. Rifts tore open like festering wounds, vomiting forth unspeakable horrors—monsters not meant to exist. But the world did not sit idly by. In response—perhaps an act of self-preservation—the world gifted its inhabitants power. Talents awakened, granting people extraordinary abilities. And for every rift sealed, the Voice of Ul rewarded them generously. Survival was simple: fight, grow stronger, and close the rifts… or die trying. In this ruthless, blood-soaked reality, Northern—a white-haired boy burdened by his past life—was reincarnated. But unlike the chosen heroes, he awakened as a talentless nobody. No power. No strength. No future. And when death loomed over him—when despair clawed at his soul and the cold grip of the failure threatened to take him— A Voice responded: [System Notice] [Your Soul cannot take a form.] [Searching for a Unique Pattern Ability…] [Searching…] [Search Found.] [A Unique System Ability has been detected.] [You Can Copy And Evolve Talents] ... Follow Northern through his journey as he becomes the pinnacle of this world. This a story about a white-haired boy’s rise from rubbles!! Note: This is an overpower genre but MC does not just start off like that. Even though MC can copy talents he doesn't just jump around copying talents because there's a limitation. However, his rise to strength is depicted and is an experience to enjoy. The first few hundreds would be frustrating to follow because MC is weak but that makes the experience all the more interesting when MC finally gets freaking strong and starts wiping the floor with everyones asses.
