Five stars because I like my story. Welcome to my second novel! I already wrote and (nearly, depending on when you read this) finished my first novel Lightning Is the only Way at over 1300 chapters. There have been some mistakes in my first novel since it was, well, my first novel. This one is my second novel, and I rectified those mistakes. When I write, I mainly focus on emotions. It doesn't matter which one, power, loss, depression, happiness, whatever. I believe novels have to evoke emotions in the reader, and that's what I focus on. You can give me whatever feedback you want, as long as it's actual feedback. Have fun reading!

How can a novel of such high quality be present here in this site, where half of the time is spent on searching for books which are at least readable. Gosh, I can't emphasize how amazing of a novel this is. The world is alive, the characters are human, there's logic to the world and power, the MC feels very relatable, the pace of the story is perfect, and the storyline is awesome!! READ IT NOW!!!!

This story is good, however, i havent seen any reviews really criticizing anything, so ill have to do it myself. First, the author seems to enjoy wasting time rambling needlessly for chapters on end. A simple trimp from a village to the academy took like 20 chapters for no reason, it could have been handled within 5. Second, i noticed that he attempts to make the MC appear smart in the initial chapters but it just comes across as forced and makes the MC look dumber because his “smarts” are common sense lol (BUT because it was the initial chapters ima let that slide) Third, once again coming back to the authors rambling. Each action and even that take place do NOT need to be 5-10 chapters long lol, not ever event is that important and shouldnt be drawn out for the word count. Fourth, (just a pet peeve of mine) i feel that the MC is very naive for no reason. Like not in the normal sense of the word but hes very easily influenced?? If that makes sense. Like, he sees some man fly, and freaks out and starts “respecting him” (even though this dude literally met GOD 5 seconds ago) I dont know it is just weird, this kind of stuff happens a lot. (Anyways, loving the story so far author, hope you dont do anything so outrageous that i end up dropping, youd be suprised how many times that happens)

I can’t wait to see where this novel goes! LitOW is an incredible novel and my expectations are even higher for this one! Show us what you got Warmaisach!!!

Reveal spoiler

The world setup is great, which is why it is so disappointing that the mc has such an unlikable personality. The only character growth is negative and repetitive. There are less than half a dozen people who the mc even considers worth talking to, but he'd let them all die for a 5% increase in power.

160 chapters review the novel is good at the beginning but the pace is very slow the magic system is quite organized although I don't like the fights they take too long they explain too much and the MC is traumatized for having killed people who deserved to die. He has personality problems from his past on earth; also people are extremely talkative the protagonist just says ah ah and they respond like 56 paragraphs trying to change MC way of thinking I don't understand how this happens, but is annoying. instead I would like more worlbuilding explaining how the world works.

Review as of chapter 630. Might include minor spoilers but I'll try to keep them to a minimum. Short Version: Stop scrolling through reviews and just go read the novel! Long Version: I'll start off by saying that this novel is simply amazing. Stories like this are what keeps me from just deleting the app due to the sheer number of unreadable nonsense it has. Now for an actual breakdown: Writing Quality - The quality is simply top-notch. No grammatical mistakes, clear and concise sentences that flow into each other beautifully, as well as smooth transitions between different points throughout the story. It's obvious that the author has improved in this regard by quite a bit, compared to his first novel (Lightning is the Only Way), which was already incredible by Webnovel standards. Story Development - The novel is slow-paced for the most part, and especially at the beginning, but I find that positive in this case, since we get a better look at the struggles Alex (later Shang) has to go through to adapt to a completely new reality where his life is constantly on the line. There are eventual time skips in the story, which are unavoidable simply due to the fact that you can't become a Sword God without hundreds (quite possibly thousands at this rate) years of training. Character Design - This is the biggest reason for this novel's success. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, is fleshed out in such detail that it wouldn't surprise me if the author one day revealed he has been studying the human mind for over 100 years. As for Shang himself, the many hardships he has gone through and the eventual revelation that he is, for reasons I obviously won't mention here, the enemy of the world (Opposer vibes 😉), have made him resolved to do whatever it takes to reach his goal. He will sacrifice anything and anyone for power. Updating Stability - Not much to say here. 2 chapters a day plus the fact that the author is an absolute legend. Broke both his arms at some point and somehow still pushed out chapters until he was eventually forced to take a small break. World Background - We get a basic understanding of how the world works and how the mages have complete rule over it early in the story and get more and more pieces of information in regards to the powers they wield, as well as the nature of the world itself, as the story progresses. Admittedly, there have been a few instances where the author goes into too much detail about something that isn't really relevant, but that isn't nearly enough to make the story less enjoyable, at least for me. Overall, this is truly an incredible story and I highly recommend it. Truly impressive work so far, Heat. Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

generic trash novel. downloaded this because i was going to a remote area just to read a nonsense, unexciting, full of **it novel. waste of time.
