Story is fine, but writing quality is bad. The mc is smiling one second and sighing the next. Bro has mood swings or smth. Also, the mc has a Ex rank skill but it’s basically useless. It’s an Ex rank appraisal skill but it doesn’t tell him anything. He also has dual wielding skill, as expected of the mc. So generic smh. You could’ve given him three sword style or smth, then at least it would be more unique and he can be like Zoro. Most ironic of all, the author pokes fun of others for using the “Oh no I changed the plot too much” trope, but doesn’t do anything unique themselves. It’s just another copy of every other transmigrating into their own novel stuff. It’s decent if you like this kind of stuff though.

It looks generic because it's still the start (not even reached the first arc). All of the things you mentioned are intentionally written like that for plot development. EX-rank, I don't know if it was because of how I wrote the description or not but EX isn't the highest rank of skill nor item. It's an exclusive skill that only one person in the world owned, it could be a useless skill or an overpowering skill. (All of the EX-skill are growth-type so it needs time to reach their full potential) Thanks for your review. In case of bad writing quality, I will try to improve it.

If Ex rank wasn’t the highest that would explain a lot of things. Usually ex ranks are the highest though, so that might be confusing. Another complaint I have was the training arc at the very start of the story. It’s way too early for one, the training arc and generic start really puts me off. Also, please don’t have your mc sigh all the time. He’s thinking and then sighs for no reason.

I see it might be annoying to read the same word as "(Character's name) sighed", even tho that character has the habit of it I'll try not to make it repetitive. Thank you for the advice.

I don’t think sighing is the problem, it’s very natural to sigh when you’re in a difficult situation. It’s just that nobody actually sighs in their head, so usually authors use a noise like “haah” to show a character is sighing. It feels very unnatural when the author just tells you a character sighed.

idk about others but I do sigh a lot and not even out of stress, I just do it. especially when I'm in deep thought, doesn't have to be important or anything. I also agree with another commenter about the sighing while in thought, I do that sometimes but extremely rarely (usually when I am hiding my actual feelings to something, like being told to bring her the remote that's 6 cm away from her).

Earth's Greatest Magus

#Top 20 Webnovel Best Sellers 2021, 2022, 2023, and in 2024 #### History is said to be written by the victors. If so, how about Earth's history? Two millennia ago, a young boy named Emery met a tragic fate. In his final moments, he was transmigrated and accepted into the Universe's most prestigious school of magic. “You are among the chosen few from thousands of human worlds. Whether you seize this opportunity or not, is up to you. You are at Magus Academy, the pinnacle of humanity's ingenuity. Magic, science, and might are all within reach for those who dare to pursue them." [Scan complete - Quadruple affinity. Water, Earth, Plant, and Darkness.] "A quadruple acolyte! Only one in tens of thousands of acolytes possess this!" Thus began Emery’s journey together with his 4 friends from the furthest corner of Earth. Each year they returned to Earth to grow, seek revenge, save the princess, conquer the world, and become Earth's Greatest Magus. Their names are still etched in our history books to this day. Authors Note: I have always been fascinated by writing fantasy relating to historical facts. In this story, you will find characters inspired by real-world myth and legend. The universe I created hopefully will make the reader's imagination excited and logically plausible. I hope you enjoy it. ### Here are some key aspects you'll encounter: MC: The protagonist follows the classic weak-to-strong arc. World: Picture a blend of Harry Potter and Star Wars. System: While it's primarily a magic-based story, there's a structured system in place that's easy to follow. Additionally, elements of cultivation. Harem: No, there are several female interests. But I enjoy romance first. So even if there will be more than one love interest it will be deep. Note: English is not my first language, but you'll notice that my writing and English skills gradually improve throughout the chapters. Other: The novel delves into deep research on science and history, enriching the storyline with factual and intriguing details. Give it a read—you might be pleasantly surprised by what unfolds.

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.

The System Awakens: Rise of the Champion

[The System has arrived on your habitable planet, known as ‘Earth.’] [In five seconds, monsters from countless realms will invade Earth.] [Remaining Time: 5 seconds.] [You can now view your attributes, talents, abilities, and skills by simply thinking about them.] [Kill monsters, and you might survive.] “Monsters?” Damian’s breathing quickened as the pain in his chest grew sharper. On the day of the Awakening, humanity was forced to defend against an invasion of countless monsters from the towers that connected realms across the multiverse. While billions of people died helplessly, billions more seized the opportunities hidden behind the horrors spilling out of the gates. Leveling up, growing stronger, awakening talents, learning supernatural skills, changing one's very race, and even achieving immortality all became possibilities. But for Damian, who was suffering from a sickness that would kill him within a few years, the Awakening was a curse. While other humans awakened powerful talents, hunted monsters, and evolved, Damian remained talentless, a liability and a burden the awakened had to carry. Damian never wanted to be seen as weak or useless, but what could he do? He was dying. If only he had awakened a talent or at least possessed a stronger body, he might have been able to level up and cure his sickness. But he couldn’t. All that would change when a mysterious figure set him on a path that would lead him to his true destiny. Witness the rise of a warrior who would make countless men tremble in fear. Witness the rise of a monster who would force every race, every being, and every existence to kneel. Witness the rise of the Champion.
