Mandatory shameless author review: this is an excellent book with an exceptionally handsome author- I mean main character. I put a lot of work into the world and story for this, and have every intention to maintain a high quality of work throughout. There will be some humour here and there, I literally cannot avoid it even if I wished, but the book will generally be much more serious and dark compared to my other work if you are familiar with it. Please do give this a try. I hope you like it!

I know even if you write something serious it will end up having comedy one way or another.

Never a harem, at least for the main character. I am not such a fan of that.

Very tiny hints of it in the 800 chapters but not much else. eventually it will, but can't promise how long that'll take

I plan on it being a big part of the story. I have yet to decide if I want it to be in vol. 1 or not, but it'll definitely be here in vol.2

Do you plan on incorporating the inn into this book, such as Nero finding a golden key latter in the series which Leeds him to the discovery of other realms

it is an audiobook on the audible app. it has almost the same magic system you have implemented. it's one of my favorite books and is what drove me to read your story, and I'm loving it so far. 🤩

Hey, I like the plot of the book, and have read 20 or so chapters, but I never found anything that makes the MC perticularly special. Besides this cryoflame having little weaknesses and the MC being a bit more clever and ruthless, there wasn’t anything that really made the mc stand out. Is he going to be special in some way later on, or will he continue to just use his determination and plot armor to get stronger?

The author’s writing skills have progressed since his previous work, The Innkeeper, particularly in that expectations set are upheld. The storyline and setting are great. The characters are decent and likable. However, the writing quality itself needs improvement. On the minor side, there are plentiful small grammatical errors, run-on sentences, and a notable amount of info dumping.  The work’s major flaw is the unnecessary, indirect, awkward, and abstract phrasing. This is particularly glaring in action scenes. Too often the MC’s direct senses are avoided or obfuscated. Instead, there is an uncalled-for post-analysis topdown view of events. It takes the reader out of the action.  Direct advice to the author: Please use direct phrasing. Write “It was this,” rather than, “He felt it was this,” or “He knew it was this,” or “It seemed like it was this.” Describe the MC experiences without processing them through a third party’s perspective. Avoid abstractions in fight scenes. Don’t write “Their fight, almost too fast for Nero to follow, seemed like a masterwork of a performance,” (quick example from chapter 9). Instead, write what is being sensed. For example, “A series of clangs rang out, as Invictus’s spear parried the colorful blur of magical sword attacks with masterful precision.” The second quote conveys similar information in a more detailed, direct, and exciting fashion. It gives us direct sound and sight without referring to Nero as the filter. This work could shine and garner greater popularity with an external editor or better self-editing that pays particular attention to the above flaws.
