Coming to 40 Chapters in and I thought I should do an initial shameless 5 star review before the end of Volume 1. First, thank you to those that have read my novel and those who may read it in the future. It is my pleasure to share my hobby and passion with you all. I believe my novel started off a little better than average, but thanks to the input from readers, it quickly improved for the better. Once the first 10 chapters, my opinion is that the quality only rises. The story is still in the early stages, the enemies and bosses from the games still haven't shown. Lucian had only just set on the path to finding himself (ch.38) and many of the girls' stories haven't even started. I update daily or twice the following day if I am late. The typical upload times are 12:00pm - 4:45pm British time. Once it's contracted, I will consider adding incentives for bonus chapters! This will be a long novel, so I apologise to those that wish for a fast pace and instant story. It will take a while to build up to the moments where he finally confronts the original hero, Lance, or the people who killed both his and Carmilla's parents. I won't rush this to make sure people can see more of their beloved characters and it doesn't end with a single chapter about how he became god and became unfeeling. (Most Cultivation novel endings.) The characters are my beloved creations. Because of the slow pace of my novel, most of them haven't even shown 10% of their true selves. Just like in reality where you can live with a woman for years and she still does things that will shock you. Or leave you stunned. I don't want them to be finished until the very last moment and so you will notice many characters start off jolly and active, yet further on you might find out they were born into an assassin cell or suffer from various ailments.

Great I love slow stories as long as the growth of the Mc's strength isn't too slow. Having slice of life chapters that show off the romance and daily life of the main character and his lovers. As long as they aren't too boring and absolutely nothing happens. A story being slow also usually means that there won't be too many time skips and missed or forgotten details. Of course no one wants a traing arc that's too long but otherwise as few as possible time skips are preferred.

I try to keep my training arcs as brief as possible split over several I'm between lore,slice of life and the main story. It's hard to balance as some people enjoy meaty ones and others not so much. My goal is to keep the flow running so there is enough of both the meaty rpg feel and good amount of slice of life and main story to keep things from grinding to a halt. Thanks for your own personal preference as it helps to know what many people prefer so I can improve my story for the better!

He's a little idiotic in the earlier chapters. Then grows and starts using his mind after some development. He will become both an intelligent Noble and powerful warrior as the story continues.

it's a good book but i can't really take the mc seriously because it's mentioned again and again that he has a face as beautiful as a girl and i don't understand why he doesn't have a beautiful face but it's masculine instead of feminine. Are the girls bi and therefore like female faces or does the mc just like to look female. I personally don't like it in any case, I think male mc should also have male traits and not female ones. But still a good book.

Because I like the beautiful young master types who are drawn to be handsome in an androgynous and pretty way. It's really my own preference and nothing to do with anything else. Thanks for the comment and feedback.

When will his ptsd ends. its just the same stuff over and over with him seeing the truth then forgets about it later, kinda getting frustrating.

Well Ptsd doesn't end in reality. But this isn't reality. It's pretty much over by the current release chapters and there was a perfect reason he kept 'forgetting.' Thanks for the feedback thought.

how does one even become progressively smarter? Is it one of those where mc isn't ambitious or doesn't care much in the start?

Partly due to his circumstances. He aims to improve himself at various points, in both power and knowledge. Also plot for why he's happy go lucky and want to avoid spoiling too much, forgive me.

Just two chapter and I'm left annoyed by all the constant praise for MC appearance, voice, demeanor and so on. Personally, I'm not against a few sentences of description or praise but having it, always, always on each paragraph, each chapter make it very tiring to read. Just hope the other chapter won't be full of it 'cause it'll be hard to continue on reading.

Celestial Child

On a world where science and technology are but a vague concept heard in stories, powerful magic is not something only to be found in fiction, but a part of one's daily life. Follow the awakening of a child born among the stars on her journey to explore the universe, as she carves her own path among the myths and legends and creates miracles never seen before. While many crave for power, training themselves to gain strength and influence, a girl standing at the very pinnacle finds herself with totally different challenges than those around her. Some say that with great power comes great responsibility. This story however, is not about responsibility. Add great power on top of a kind, but naïve young child and you get a very different outcome. With great power comes great collateral damage! Now who is going to clean up the mess? ********** Celestial Child is a mix of a mostly western high fantasy setting with Xianxia elements. It includes an overly strong main character, a good deal of romance as well as a bit of comedy. If you like strong main characters and enjoy story writing that has a more relaxed approach, without the protagonist constantly being forced by outside events to heedlessly rush from A to B to C, then this might be for you. While situations and characters will often be a little exaggerated, because I do quite like the occasional face slapping moments, I try to keep it limited to a somewhat believable level, when it comes to character motivations. No 100% chance to meet over the top arrogant noblemen in every restaurant, who try to beat you up just because they get no seat, sorry! Currently paused indefinitely until I figure out what to do with the story and if I even want to continue, sorry. Special Thanks to SeerLight for the awesome Cover image.

Hayle Coven Inheritance

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. The Challenge “Jagger Santos,” Coradine said, voice singsong and trying to be endearing while I gagged a little over her cutsie attempt to be coy. So gross. “This is the one I was telling you about.” He didn’t look at her, his hunger for the fight apparent. “Ethie Hayle,” he said, deep voice full of daggers. “I’ve been looking forward to this.” I could have said no. Just turned on my heel and left, walked away, got the hell out of there. Should have. It was one thing to fight my own coven for “fun” occasionally. A way to let off steam, to expend some of my pent up anger in a reasonably safe way that ensured if they didn’t like me, they at least stayed out of my way. But a witch from another territory? The Santos coven wasn’t exactly on GreatGram’s favorite list, either. This could only end badly. Ethie Hayle has spent her whole life sheltered by the coven, her powerful family and the fear that an unknown enemy could, at any moment, leap out of the veil and hurt her. Talk about smothering when all she wants is to have the freedoms her oh-so-special brother, Gabriel, seems to take for granted. But when a strange woman appears and offers her a gift, Ethie discovers the concerns her mother and great-grandmother have harbored aren’t all that ridiculous after all and that there are powers in the Universe she can’t imagine…
