UPDATED REVIEW: I have come a long way since my last reviews 4 months ago. Things that seemed cool now feels overly exaggerated and unnecessary for Webnovel audience. 1. Even back then I had always taken pride in my writing skills. I won't say that my english is the best, but it is better than the most. So you can course through the entire novel without hitting any major roadblock. 2. The biggest mistake and issue with this novel is the changes in POV upto chapter 124. As i have also written in synopsis, I was inspired by a fav novel series who uses POV changes frequently to present different thoughts. But i was naive to think that the readers here would like that. It is also the reason that most of the readers drop the novel early. But I have learnt, and though I can't change the first 124 chapters, the rest of the novel will be a masterpiece. Those who have patience and like core mystery and action, I would urge to keep reading beyond chapter 124, and I promise you won't be disappointed. 3. Nobody likes to eat one kind of food all week long. This novel has too much action, adventure, and the mysteries are heavy. There are many philosophical things that I have done extensive research on. So a little romance and echhi things can bring the temperature down. (Haha!) All in all, I consider this novel (as of right now) to have a max rating of 3.8 based on the f***kd up mess that i did with POVs. Aside from this, I think its a good novel to read.

4. The fourth point is more of a request than a review. I know the readers here don't like side characters or the MC gone for too long. But all my side characters (those who can be called so) are too important for the novel. And hence, they are like the main characters of their life. So have some mercy on them.

You got me hooked by the mention of lovecraft elements, pursuit of knowledge and actions. Now, no harem? That's I am talking about. I'm going to read the novel and hopefully persevere until chapter 124. Thank you for your hard work, sir Author.

Waiting for 1 - 2 updates a day is hard, need more. Great story! It's kinda weird though when you make great solid side characters with very good POV changes people don't like that. When you don't make good side characters who are "more than 2d" people don't like that. Which is why I think apps like these are bad for great authors, you change your story to fit people's wants which in turn hurts the story telling. I mean take LOM for example, I don't think it mattered to Fish how much people complained about POV changes but, they weren't given a choice in the matter and he completed his story with POV. Sometimes, you gotta make sure what your story needs goes above reader wants, you can't please everyone but you can most definitely write a great story. I do understand you did what you had to do but yea truly is sad you removed them. Keep up the good work need more.

Yes, but romance isn't centred around MC as of yet. (check my tags for an idea)

That was the exact reason i dropped the novel, because of the POVs, I got too confused it just seemed like I was reading something different. I’ll definitely pick it back up just don’t know when.

no issues. fyi i hv edited the first 15 chapters and scratched away a lot of the content out of the novel. so when u pick it up again (if you pick ut up again) start from the beginning. 👍

Primordial Villain with a Slave Harem

Quinlan, a simple office worker finds himself transmigrated to an extremely dangerous fantasy land as a level 1 Commoner with nothing to his name but his wits - and a unique gift that accompanied his teleportation. No one in Thalorind could have predicted that this unassuming arrival would one day rise to the top, redefining the very meaning of the term 'power'... And that he may have achieved said result by joining a criminal organization and clawing his way through its ranks. In the beginning, Quinlan was painfully weak and alone but thanks to his severe trust issues, joining a team was... hard. However, he soon noticed that a lot of people have collars around their necks in this world... People that couldn't exactly betray him. Follow Quinlan's journey as he grows in strength, amasses wealth, fights to the death, and meets lovely ladies. ... Discord: https://discord.gg/bjunEkswQ3 ... After writing over 750 chapters, here’s what you should know: 1. About the beginning: The early chapters are a bit rough. I'm not saying that it's horrible, in fact, I believe the story to be very enjoyable right from chapter 1. But, at the end of the day, this is my first original novel, and I stumbled in some areas, especially with the MC's attitude. He's too reserved and occasionally too "simpy" with the first female lead. However, the MC grows into a confident, powerful, and composed figure. No long-term cringe. He becomes the kind of MC you want to root for. 2. Quinlan’s morality: He’s not a cruel, sadistic villain. Most of the time, he won't even be acting like a real villain, only when pushed to the limit. Meaning he won't torture puppies or civilians for fun while cackling manically. However, he’s greedy, shameless, and opportunistic. If the lives of his loved ones are at stake and he can only save them by burning a city with innocents inside down, he’ll do it. He's ruthless toward strangers when necessary, but doesn't delight in cruelty. 3. Regarding slaves: Yes, Quinlan becomes a slave master. However, he treats all his women—free or enslaved—with care and respect. 4. More than smut: Every love interest has a real story, a real presence. No girl will be left behind. As of Chapter 750, Quinlan has 7 lovers and a few more "in-development" love interests. This is not a "catch them all" story, adding one girl every 20 chapters. I prefer harems made up of girls with richly developed characters over giant harems full of shallow ladies. Quality over Quantity. 5. Balanced storytelling: My aim was to create a work where romance, action, and slice-of-life blend together naturally. There’s high-stakes action, power progression, romantic developments, comedy, and some chill downtime to let both the characters and the readers breathe. 6. Weak-to-Strong Progression: Quinlan will become OP. But he rises slowly, not overnight. His journey will hopefully feel earned. 7. Not every female character listed in the fandom is a love interest: Some women are important to the plot but are not part of the harem or a planned to be, such as his two mothers. 8. No Yuri. No NTR. That's it, thank you for taking your chance on my novel! I'll make a promise to you, showing how much I believe you'll love the novel if you get over the somewhat bumpy beginning! If you read 750 chapters and hate the story even after investing so much time into it, then you may burn me alive!

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.
