The writing quality is pretty good but the only problem is the tenses as they bother me the most when it comes novels. There's also some instances where it feels like the author is talking to us. Although I don't know if it's intentional or not. Everything else is pretty good except for the worldbuilding as we don't know if the MC is originally from earth or some other planet. I know that there's no need for that info but I'd have liked it way more if it had that.

It explains it more in detail in the later chapters, mainly chapter 3. chapter 1-2 are basically what happened to Ethan as a child. The portions where I was talking to the reader were intentional. Was it that jarring? I was trying to add some levity to the scene mainly due to how dark it was.

Brutal indeed! I'm super impressed with the vividness of your imagery (especially during the first scene of chapter 2). Your grammar and sentence flow are something to note too! Overall, I was very satisfied with the read!

The novel is really great, the details in each chapter is amazing although there were a few grammat mistakes I saw but it was barely noticeable. And the emotions for each character especially Ethan, it was amazing and great I definitely feel it has great potential, it's story and world building was great as well. The pace of the novel was definitely great as well and I would love to continue to read to see how Ethan will grow further and to see how will the author improve himself in writing the novel and story. So all in all it's a great novel, I definitely recommend reading it if you have the time!

Your writing quality is great. I found little to no typos, and there were no structural errors that I saw either. Regarding the update stability, I put at three stars, because you dumped many chaps in one day, then took 2 days to post another, and then another 2 days XD The story seems to be moving at a good pace and the character design is good. Your world background is where you shine most :) Keep up the good work :)

Honestly. Your writing is really good. the narration allows to imagine it and be immersed.im it like I want to when I look for books to read. alas I can't continue. at least not immediately. I was eating while reading and the scenes were so well written I nearly lost my meal. keep up the good work. I'm sure those that love such a genre will eat this up. if u write a book of a different kind with this good a writing capability I will definitely read it. *** embarrassed. guess I have a weak stomach. my mind is too fragile. sigh.

Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

In a world where summoners wield the power to call forth vampires, elves, angels, demons, and all humanoid creatures from across the realms, Nathan found himself unable to summon beings except from beasts. However, those beasts are not ordinary beasts. They are divine beings who once stood at the same level, if not higher, than the legendary creatures the world ever knew. Casting his gaze to the left, Nathan sees numerous summoners accompanied by the likes of demon kings, archangels, vampire progenitors, and other legendary beings. Turning to the right, a massive army of alien symbiotes is waiting to attack. There was no fear in his eyes, because standing on his left is a majestic wolf who managed to kill a god, the legendary eight-headed serpent coils on his right, above him is the bird who is glowing like the sun, and behind him is a dragon that once gnawed the roots of the world tree. “Let the war begin.”

Void Evolution System

5 years ago, Earth was subject to an event now known as the “World Awakening”. At that time, the world completely changed. Mana awakened in the world, gates began opening, and a holographic screen showed up in front of the eyes of every human that outlined their “status”. Each individual was given a talent to start with, ranging from simple abilities like enhanced eyesight to insane fantasy stuff like pyrokinesis. And within this myriad of abilities, Damien awakened a spatial affinity with the skill “short-distance teleportation”. At first, he was excited, thinking about intense battles and gaining great power, but the reality was quick to shoot him down. His ability only worked in the area 10 meters around himself, and his physical stats were insanely weak, leaving him tired after using his ability a couple of times. Disillusioned by his weakness, Damien lived a quiet life doing anything he could to meet ends meet, until one day, everything changed. Damien was betrayed and thrown into a gate, left to fend for himself in a labyrinth of beasts. Something snapped in him that day. He refused to stay weak and keep his head down any longer. When he emerged from the darkness, he found himself in a new world with no idea how to return to earth. However, he wasn’t the same kid he was when he first fell. ===== Discord: https://discord.gg/sEfafFXazb ===== Cover by Lia.Audelia
