Obligatory author review! I promise that this is not like any other fanfic for TBATE. I put a great deal of focus on the characters, story, and world in a way most others don't. I attempted to make this story feel as if it could be a true AU to the original. Every book is outlined before I even begin writing from start to finish, so you won't be left with plotholes or unsatisfying endings. I've been told by many people that this story gives the same feeling of reading TBATE Volume 8/9 all over again, and I hope that you all feel the same way. If you're looking for themes of brotherhood, companionship, found family, power fantasy (of course!) and trying to make the world just a little bit better without losing sight of yourself, DN might be for you. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them below! I'll do my best to answer them. :)

Great fic! Practically headcanon at this point. Toren is a very likeable MC, even the villians are done great! None of the actual TBATE characters feel OOC, would recommend.

I wish there was a rating higher I could give this! Especially for the update stability category, lol. The day tmk doesn't upload is the day the seas evaporate. But all jokes aside this story is one of the best I've read in a while. Even with it being fanfiction the thought and effort put into it makes it surpass the original story in many ways to me. I've read over 250 chapters of this and I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to read it for over 250 more! The character development, worldbuilding, and overall epicness of the story makes if easily one of the best. If you like good stories, read this. If you like good fanfics, read this. If you've read tbate, read this. And if you haven't? Well read it anyways! This is a story that can be appreciated even without the original and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have!

Alacrya is really interesting in this fic, I have it confused with TBATE canon, I don't even remember which side characters here are canon and which ones are OCs. On Wattpad, we got one chapter every Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday. The power progression is great, strong enough to survive, but weak enough to struggle and nearly lose. Great progression. I can't say anything about translation quality because it is written in English and I read it in English.

Oh, boy. I rarely write reviews as I am too unbothered and lazy, to do so. However, this is necessary. Reading a fanfic of TBATE is weird for me, as I forgot where I stopped reading the Light Novel and got bored, maybe because of all these new plot points and changes. They just confused me, whatever. But this is different, I dare say even better than the original, for one the character writing is more relatable, especially from Toren (the MC). The story is unique but not very AU in terms of changes, because of this it doesn't feel like a fanfic, maybe because the plotlines felt more natural and less forced, maybe because you didn't use major characters in start as many other fanfics just lacked the originality. Overall, this is a very very good fanfic.

An incredible work, it's so wonderful when an author takes the time to create a new story based on another and not simply replace the main character or create a twin brother for him. Torren is an original character, in the world of TBATE, and follows an unprecedented story that takes place far from the canonical events, but the most incredible thing is the quality of the writing, the depth of the characters, and I dare say it is as good or better than the original author. I congratulate the writer, I hope I have the honor of seeing the end of this story and how Torren changes this world.

One of the best fanfic of TBATE lore is this. There is hardly any plotholes and healthy dose of drama and subtle hints of romance. You get relive the world of TBATE from a different POV.

Best tbate fanfic I’ve ever read.
