Hi, Panda here. As of this review, I have finally finished the first volume of the story. The start of the story is quite slow as I take my time setting up the world and problems, but the pace picks up once I’m done with it. I’m quite proud of myself for writing this one as this sort of story is not really what I’m used to. This sort being a darker, revenge story. The first volume serves as the base for the rest of the book, which you could call an extended prologue or the MCs Origin story. If you’ve read my other book, especially Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy, you know I won’t give all the answers right away either, so you’ll have to read and find out in due time. You won't have to wait hundreds of chapters though. Quick answers for anyone looking to check about ROMANCE. No Harem, 1 FL if at that, low romance if any. I’m bad at writing romance, so I choose not to bore readers with it. Also, fun fact: While the story starts with a striking resemblance to Attack on Titan (the last of humanity living in fear of the monsters), I actually didn’t have the story in mind at all when I made it. I had two other stories that I took inspiration from just for the setting of the story that I, unfortunately, can’t mention here because of spoilers. Anyway, enjoy the book, and don’t forget to leave some feedback.

The author said “Low romance If any” so I would assume there won’t be any romance involving at least the main character.

Is one of your inspirations Irwin’s Journey?

No. It was actually Chainsaw Man, and a recent Brandon Sanderson book called Yumi and the Nightmare Painter (he read a snippet of it over a year ago).

Ah, I only looked at the last bastion of humanity angle and the grimdark vibe.

The Strongest Curse Master

Born into a lower middle class family, Ace Lander grew up being told there was a simple formula for success: get an education, graduate, and work hard to build a prosperous future. But that formula failed him during the final stretch of his senior year when a local gang targeted him, putting everything he had and was building towards at risk. Trapped and desperate, Ace felt his life spiraling out of control—until Ria Hart, a fellow classmate, discovering Ace's innate aptitude to become a Curse Master, a being capable of wielding curse energy and abilities but haunted by Curselings, took pity and introduced him to the secret world hidden beneath the mundane surface of their world, the World of Curses.

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.
