It's hard to find a actual good Dark Souls webnovel that captures struggle, now don't get me wrong I like slice of life/op from the beggining, but this fanfic is perfect because it shows how the chosen one goes through these struggles and then there's also the fact that you address that no normal hollow/human could face against these gods without special powers and the way you integrate them is absolutely great.

The author has made me to become a starving and thirsting animal everytime he does not upload. But I respect his time and life so I will refrain from doing any bad things. On to the actual review. The writing is excellent and quite rare to find in this platform. He's clearly experienced with writing as the way he structures and forms them is impeccable. Dark souls and no op start or system. Just an Mc who builds himself up. Speaking of the protagonist, he's designed as what a normal person would be like if they were suddenly chucked into the game. Which is realistic which is a plus in my book. So he uses the insanity of the MC to write whatever he wants which is pretty clever. I just wish he would update more. Author. Do you have something where I can pay you for the future chapters?

it's a great dark souls book. you get to feel the suffering the MC goes through as he trufges through the cycle of fight, die, and repeat. the power he weilds doesn't come unnaturally and is well thought out. his character growth makes sense, and you can feel the emotions rolling off the pages. a high-quality book, held back by the small number of chapters.

I love this idea can't wait to read more. dark souls is such a violent world and I love when people put regular people in it to survive.....

Man, I just wanna know if Priscilla is gonna be the love interest?!

An okay read but wouldn't recommend it to others unless they are obsessed with dark souls to the point that they are willing to forego quality because 'dark souls'. I feel like the author lost their drive for the story partway through and started using badly done romance and random berserk moments as a crutch so they wouldn't need to think their way through certain things and keep up with their release schedule. Writing quality: Pretty good spelling, there are a few odd grammar mistakes of swapped words that come off weird but nothing too jarring. There are some periods where they just repeatedly say "PAIN" for about 1/4th of the chapter to try to emphasize how much pain something caused, once or twice is fine but it's used fairly regularly. Some of the dialogue is also a bit off, everyone feels a bit fake like they aren't quite responding to his actions, though I'm not sure if this is intentional as a joke about NPC dialogue or just forced plot convenience so certain events happen regardless of his actions. Near chapters 50-60 though they stop showing us scenes that happen and just start telling readers I did blah then blah then now I've been doing blah for a while showing that it's gotten a bit worse over time. 3/5 Stability of updates: Very consistent even when the author was going through some stuff, which they probably should have taken a break for rather than push themselves. 5/5 Story development: The story starts off great, they have an interesting system and the fights were great. They showed someone physically weaker working their way through hardships and using logic to beat bigger foes... then the author decided 'an interesting plot and story? That won't do!' and tosses out all the logic and interesting bits in favor of a generic split-personality guy that randomly goes berserk repeatedly mashes the same super move and acts like an edgy teenager with other characters yet every female character in the story fawns over them including the giant monster ones. Not to mention various cop-outs in order to bypass certain situations so the author won't have to deal with it and random character personality shifts in order for something to happen. 1/5 Character Design: Starts out pretty good then as I said in story development it becomes complete garbage. Before they would logic out fights, now they spam a super move or we don't even see it as it's told to us that he won without using the super move. They used to methodically move area to area and work through things, now they throw fits and steal stuff for no reason while acting like a random edgy child. Because the character's personality is at least interesting for the first 1/3rd-1/2 of the story it at least deserves 2/5. World Background: They do a great job at keeping up with the various background events and fleshing out certain parts about the darksouls world including expanding on how the magic system works and the secrets behind certain aspects not discussed in the game in a way that makes sense. 5/5

have played dark souls more than 20 times and i have to say i love the details in this story. The best dark souls story ever und i love this story so much. pls more

I had already reviewed this fic before, I gave it two stars and said that I didn't like those things about Fate of the Living Dead, but that I would leave it in my library so that if I ever wanted to read it again I would do another review, and now I I read it again, and I must say that I don't regret anything, what I was most afraid of before was Fate of the Living Dead, it turned out to be much better than I imagined, I thought it would be much worse, because I've seen several stories of this type and I hated them, but this one really left a really good taste in my mouth and it gave me pleasure to read, I hope the author keeps up the good work (Google Translator)
