The second review, after going premium. There are 99 free chapters. Please try them. I am trying to do my own thing in my way by combining traditional novel style with web novels. I believe that every character has its own story and goals. So you will have POV changes. And in volume 1 the MC is more reactive than proactive because he is thrown into an ongoing mess.

It will be alluded to. But I have planned many weird things, so it will be there and not there. I can't fully explain. I am writing volume 2 now. By the end of it, readers will have a better idea what i mean with that.

Is hard to reply. The romance is there but also not there? I mention it here and there but it is just a part of life. Not the main focus. And i dont know how to put spoiler tags but SPOILER: This is a world where powerhouses plan and act. The strongest ones. MC just trying to live in it. That's it. Simple as that.

What are the main character traits of the mc and will they change in the future?

JayScribeAuthor

It will change as the story progresses. Vague Spoilers: He starts of as a slumrat in an isolated town and has to deal with issues regarding Heaven and Earth as the story develops. He is mature beyond his age yet a curious boy at heart. He struggles with various emotions and has to come up with his own definition justice and what's right. The name is misleading yet not at the same time. I can assure you, it's not a edgy mc who believes in killing everyone. I hope this gives you an idea about the mc, the theme, and the world.

so no romance? dull!

JayScribeAuthor

Yeah. I agree a little. But I have to keep it in the background or else the story would be the mc rushing to save a girl everywhere. Anyway, thank you for at least checking the comments.

may I ask the 'alignment' of the MC (like neutral, chaotic neutral,...)? I just want to know if he will be going around saving as many people as possible while screaming hysterically about justice. Or if he really does everything to survive.

He is somewhere in the middle. He doesn't try to justify himself. He isn't also evil. He is just trying to survive and live as well as he can. He wont hold back even if it costs cities if he believes it required, and wont chase even villains if he thinks thats the right call for that moment. he regrets some of the things but wont get emotional episodes because of those. Like I said, he is trying to survive, acting as he sees fit. Does that help?

Great novel. I like the return to a more classical/grounded power fantasy, but it is clear that the author put a lot of thoughts in his book. Clearly one of the current best novels on the platform. Good job author

This novel is like a breath of fresh air to WebNovel. Everywhere I look, it's transmigration this and system that with the same old overpowered blah. This book is an excellent fantasy novel with good character development, world building, and excellent story writing. This novel is worth getting into and enjoying.

First things first, this is strictly my opinion about this story. You should not take my views as fact. Whether you agree or disagree with my opinion, at least try the story for yourself. I believe that this is a fantastic story. Trying to write a review for it has left me somewhat stumped. Only by trying can you get an idea of what the story feels like. While the first volume comes off as kind of fast, it really is just an appetizer to what's to come. I think if you give it a chance, you'll find a story and characters that are interesting, entertaining, and engaging. Sorry, this is not my best review. Just try it. To everybody out there, have a pleasant day and take care.

I, the shameless author, declare hereby my novel the best...that I could write. I thought it would be funny to write about an emotional person with a literal stone as heart. Why? Idk. The novel is a simple story about a teenage boy feeling the need to prove himself in a world where the humans, beasts and monsters take Heavens Blessing to advance to a higher level. I have planned limited mature scenes, almost no romace and certainly no system. Its a fantasy story in a fantasy world with fantasy elements. Simple and easy. I would appreciate everyones feedback. I am open to adept the storyline if there are acceptable suggestions. Thank you

The novel starts off shaky but improves along the way. Its a slow burn with a soft magic system. Or perhaps the magic system is still in development. The inexperience of the author shows in the first chapters but along the way he seems to be improving. I like the way the mc isn't always the hero at the end of the day.

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

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.

Timeless Assassin

Leo awakens in a world he doesn’t recognize, with no memory of who he is or why he’s there. All he knows is that survival isn’t just a necessity—it’s his only chance to uncover the truth. Thrown into a brutal test for assassins on a hostile alien planet, Leo quickly discovers an extraordinary instinct for combat and evasion—abilities that feel second nature, yet remain a mystery even to him. But as the blood-soaked trials unfold, whispers of his lineage begin to surface. In a universe where gods are eternal and invincible, Leo carries the blood of the one being who defied that rule: the Timeless Assassin, a legend feared by mortals and deities alike. Now, hunted for what he represents and burdened by a legacy he can’t yet comprehend, Leo must forge his path through a deadly labyrinth of enemies, alliances, and cosmic conspiracies—all while piecing together the fragments of his forgotten past. For in the shadows of his fractured identity lies a truth that could shake the heavens themselves. -------- NOTE - The MC in this story is a cunning vigilante type character who is morally gray and will often make questionable choices not befitting a traditional 'Hero' type character.
