Seeing that thick review from Idczhen, I decided to give this novel a chance and sure enough, I felt the vibe of "Lord of the Mysteries" when I started reading the first chapter. The actions and description of the character was so vivid that I actually thought they were real people. Honestly, it was a shocker to me to see such writing skills in Webnovel.

Ok, let's begin with starting that this novel description in detail is unreal. If I have to compare this novel descriptive ability, then it's on par with "Lord of the Mysteries". Everything was explained in precise detail and so was the action that allows you to have imagery of what the scene was like. Writing Quality- 5/5, As I've said, this novel's grammar is above-average and could be on par with some of the top novels. There wasn't a paragraph or sentence that I read have some problems with it. Not to mention, the author is capable of using some high vocabulary words and it amazed me. Stability of Updates- This is a more straightforward point and it's 5/5. The novel is updated every day, so unless the author decides to take a hiatus, the rating shall remain at 5. Story Development- 5/5, I know people might think I'm just bootlicking the author, but no. Why I give this a 5/5 because of the detailed prelude of the first volume that gives us the background that we need to understand what is going on and what the novel is about. Not to mention, the author was able to create a character, namely, the grandma, and gave us a realistic feel of her character being real. It didn't even take me a few minutes before I was immersed in the storyline and connected to the character. Note: once you finish the prelude, then you will understand what I mean. I can't give many spoilers because it'll ruin the fun for you. Character Design- 4/5, Although the main character, Jackson and his grandma was well created and managed to immerse me, there were simply too many characters introduced in the latter part. It was overwhelming at times that I don't even remember who's who and what was her role again in the story. It just kind of feel a bit lackluster since we didn't receive as much detail and background of the character compared to the Main Character and his grandma. Hopefully, in the latter chapters, the author can continue to introduce the character slowly and let the reader have a breather to get to know the character well before storming off to another introduction. World Background- 5/5, The world is described beautifully in the prelude and already gave a glimpse of what the world had become and how it's beginning to operate. I especially love the part where the author spends a lot of attention in detail regarding how humans have lost their advanced technology and kind of regressed to medieval kind of times. And a bonus point is added for the clever usage of Warlord which is similar to history where Warlords abused their power and take control of lands. TLDR: Overall, the novel is definitely at the top percentile with its well-constructed story and detailed explanation of actions from the main character, Jackson or Jax. On top of that, there are little to zero grammatical mistakes and you can read smoothly. Though, if you are the type to not enjoy novels such as "Lord of the Mysteries", then the attention to detail might bore you. This novel takes the slow pace road and doesn't rush things which is great. This was reviewed by a Doraemon on December 14, 2022

There are spoilers in this review please read with caution :) Based on the 10 chapters of the novel that I have read, it is clear that the world building is well thought out and immersive. The setting of the story, Duskgate, is a city surrounded by stone walls that is built on top of an ancient tower known as God's Tower. The existence of these towers, which can be found throughout the world, has had a profound impact on society and has led to the formation of organizations like The Climber's Association, which is focused on ascending the towers. The characters in the novel are also well-developed and dynamic. Jackson, the protagonist, is a strong and determined individual who has faced numerous challenges throughout his life, including the disappearance of his father and the death of his grandmother. Despite these tragedies, he remains determined to uncover the truth and find his place in the world. One aspect that could have been improved upon in the novel is the pacing. At times, the story feels slow and dragged out, particularly in the earlier chapters. However, the action and tension pick up significantly as the story progresses, making for a more engaging and thrilling read. Again this is my opinion based on the 10th chapter. Overall, the world building and characters in the novel are well-crafted and provide a solid foundation for the story. Some tightening up of the pacing would have made for a more cohesive and enjoyable reading experience. One quote from the novel that particularly stands out is when Jackson's father writes in his diary, "You will find all the answers at the top of God's Tower." The mystery surrounding Jackson's father is an interesting and intriguing aspect of the story. It is clear that his father has been absent for much of Jackson's life, but there are hints that he may still be alive and that there are forces preventing him from returning home. The mention of God's Tower and the clues left behind in his father's diary suggest that there may be a deeper mystery at play, possibly involving the towers and the forces that control them. This adds a layer of mystery and intrigue to the story and leaves readers wanting to know more. Characteristics of Jackson in my perspective: Jackson seems to be a determined and resilient individual who has faced a lot of hardship in his life. He has lost his father and grandmother and has been forced to live in an orphanage, where he has been subjected to physical labor and dangerous tasks. Despite these challenges, he remains determined to find his missing grandmother and uncover the truth about his father's disappearance. He is also described as being physically fit and skilled in martial arts, as he is shown practicing with wooden sticks in the courtyard. Additionally, he seems to be kind and empathetic, as he is concerned about the well-being of his fellow orphans and is willing to help them in any way he can. Overall, Jackson seems to be a strong and resourceful character who is not afraid to face adversity and is driven to uncover the truth.

GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.

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鈥檚 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鈥檚 morality: He鈥檚 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鈥檚 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鈥檒l 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鈥攆ree or enslaved鈥攚ith 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鈥檚 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!

Reincarnated To Evolve My Bee Empire

"Now, go forth, my mortal champion! Conquer this world鈥攐r else!" I lived a painfully average life and died by a stupid, stupid accident, but a goddess interfered, giving me a second chance in another world. There, I became royalty鈥攖he lazy kind with almost no obligations, free to live in peace and luxury for the rest of my days. Sounds like a dream, right? In reality, it was anything but鈥攂ecause I became *BEE* royalty. A Drone Bee, doomed to die of old age in 2 months! (A humanoid bee, thankfully, but still a bee in all the ways that matter.) The only way to increase my lifespan is to develop and grow my bee colony鈥攁 deadly task in a vicious world like this one. There are murderous insect monsters, colossal beasts trampling the earth, other civilizations, natural disasters, and the bitchy patron goddess who absolutely hates me. But as long as I have my brains, my bees, and the powerful genes my system gives me, my Bee Empire will be unstoppable! === For those who want to know more: This is a wholesome comedic story, but it has some dark moments. The focus is on kingdom building, survival as an empire, and interacting with MC鈥檚 beautiful bee wife and adorable bee daughters. The bees are all humanoid (see pictures) and human-sized. However, they are still bees in their ways of life and mentality. Although there鈥檚 a system, real growth comes from putting effort and time. Nothing happens in an instant in this story, unless it鈥檚 trouble. MC acts like an idiot sometimes (oftentimes), but he鈥檚 not actually stupid-stupid. When it comes to strategic decisions, he uses logic and reason. Even if you might disagree with it. Also, there will be no smut (ecchi is a fair game), incest, NTR, harem or BL. === Discord is up! Find it at -> https://linktr.ee/Garessta Updates: 2 chapters/day, right after the reset (with a 5% chance of running late). Reply to author's pinned review if you have questions. Also, although I realize the futility of this aim (at least right now), if this novel reaches top 15 golden ticket ranking (and stays there for a few days, obv), I will mass release 10 extra chapters! (within 30 calendar days)
