Final Score: 3.6 (Good, But Needs Improvement) DISCLAIMERS: The rating given is my own opinion of the novel at this time. And may be subject to change later. The rating given is relative to the material on this site. Meaning a 4 or 5 given on Webnovel is not a 4 or 5 given on Amazon. ----------------------------- "A Story With Potential" Pay attention to this line, as it will be the focus of my review. There is no doubt that a compelling story of an evil protagonist is at the heart of this novel. 1. No romance? Check 2. Benefit Oriented MC? Check 3. Disregards Morality? Check 4. Decent Grammar? Check (This is required for any worthwhile story) 5. Excellent Release Rate? Check 6.MC Is Not A Waste? Check So, most enjoyers of the "evil MC's" genre will enjoy this story, and give this novel 5 stars. I will not give it this luxury. Despite its excellent qualities, this story has some flaws. It is my firm belief that this story will become one of the exemplars of this genre if the author resolves these flaws. 1. There are no meaningful conflicts that the MC has to overcome. What do I mean by this? After all, the MC fights and kills others for power, is in a war situation, and his ranks quickly grow. These things are all conflicts and should satisfy readers. However there is one thing that all these conflicts miss. There is no conflict in this story that forces the MC to struggle and prove his worth to the readers. There are no conflicts, which proves the worth of the MC's character and shows us what makes him so special. There are no conflicts in this story that makes the readers say "Deon is exemplary". All conflicts in this story serve no meaningful purpose. Seeing a MC trump the average person isn't interesting. Seeing him win battles isn't impactful. And Seeing him gain strength isn't as enjoyable as it could be. Basically there are no events that occur in this story that prove the worth of the protagonist's character. 2. Readers feel no meaningful connection to the protagonist. In normal stories the MC has righteous character traits that most people find admirable and can easily relate to. Evil protagonists stories do not have this luxury. The MC's are not exemplars of morality and sacrifice others for their own benefits. There are less things that readers can relate to, meaning it's more difficult for readers to form a bond with an evil MC. However, it doesn't mean it can't be done. The authors of this niche genre must take action early in order to foster that bond more easily. Ways to do this are providing the readers with the MC's thoughts, emotions, reactions and opinions on various things that happen through out his journey. Great evil MC's are usually philosophical. They provide the readers with a genuine understanding of the MC's thought processes and why he chooses to do an action. Evil MC's must prove why their philosophy or way of thinking is the most effective. The readers must have some way to feel a connection to a character they would never want to encounter in real life. Ultimately the goal is to foster an understanding between the reader and the protagonist. ----------------------- Minor suggestions: More dialogue would help (although finding the right balance may prove difficult). ----------------------------- Despite everything I said earlier. I still like this novel. I enjoy reading about Deon, and I still want to know more about the world he's placed in. If I thought this story wasn't worth reading, I wouldn't have done such a long review. Always improve and keep up the good work author!

On a peaceful planet filled with magic and power, Kyle's life was lazy and ordinary, but little did he know, he possessed something extraordinary. He lived his life with his family like any other lazy human, or so he thought, unaware that everything happens for a reason. However, everything changed when he turned sixteen. His older brothers, who were fed up with his laziness, came up with a ridiculous plan to teach him a lesson. They asked him to take the entrance test for one of the biggest academies. They thought this would knock some sense into their lazy brother. Kyle was stunned, but because of their coordinated planning, he reluctantly agreed with a hint of resignation. "I don't think I'll pass the test anyway. So, trying it for the experience isn't a big deal." "The only problem is, I can't guarantee that all my body parts will stay intact until the end of the entrance test." But to Kyle's shock, he passed the test without even lifting a finger! Still, he was convinced that he would eventually be kicked out of the Academy due to his lack of strength. But the moment he set foot in the Academy, he discovered something incredible about himself. He was special and nature's favorite. . . . ______ (#It's my first time writing. So, support me with ps, gt and gifts. Hehe, THANK YOU) (Note: The cover is not mine, found it from pinterest.
