I personally recommend this fanfic to any fate fans out there as the author knows his lore and characters. So far it’s been an amazing read and everything felt natural and not forced (Plot). Looking forward to more updates, Good job, you’ve cooked👨🏻‍🍳🔥👌🏻

This fanfic is simply impressive. I rarely, if ever, find a fic where the lore is so well respected, in both the world building, and in how he portrays well known characters, as I don't find it hard to imagine most of them saying or acting in how the author portrays them. This is further shown when he summons his Servant, as they are not a prominent character in Fate, but he sticks to the lore on them, and even in the dream cycle, he follows the characters legends almost to the letter, but from their perspective. Another nice thing is that since the Mc is a Fate novice, we the reader get to learn side by side with him, allowing us to be on a relatively similar plane of understanding as the Mc, without needing to constantly check Wikipedia for the lore to understand what's going on. The most impressive part about it, is that it never comes across as condescending, weird or out of place when we learn a thing or two, and even with me knowing so much about the lore, I have been pleasantly surprised with how the Author has handled 'teaching' us it, without it getting repetitive. The Oc's are all well made, and lore accurate, making them refreshing to read about, as they seem genuine, and not just a plot device to further the story. The main character is clearly flawed in personality and is someone who starts out as a novice with all things regarding Fate, yet through the story he grows as both a person and magus. With the Grail War catapulting his character development, and it is a joy to read. The supporting cast is great, and I am find them as a great addition as they elevate the story. Another plus is that he has a proper family, as I am far too used to fanfictions having the main protagonist being an orphan or being distant with his relatives. While here, his mother plays a proper role in his life, and she is a good mother and is an engaging part of the story. The Servant he summons deserves its own long and detailed paragraph, but I do not wish to spoil who it is, but know that how they are characterized, and later change though the Grail War is impeccably handled. As I went from somewhat disliking the character due to who they were, and how they were acting towards best girl (You'll know who it is when you read), but now I can't help but love their character, and I wish the best for them and can't wait to see how the Author will handle their character, as I never expected to start liking them. When it comes to the story, the Author has clearly put in a lot of thought, and it feels natural for the most part, and very believable. Characters acting as they should, and the situation adapting to the changes are all handled well, and I am excited to see what the Author has in store for the finale of the Fourth Holy Grail War. When it comes to writing style, it is clear that he was a bit new to it in the beginning, but past chapter 9 he finds his rhythm, and the writing quality improves as a whole. I am as well very pleased with the chapters being so long, somewhere around four thousand words each if I am not mistaken, so that is a big plus. And the Authors consistency is great, as he posts at least twice a week, despite him having exams season. All in all, this has to be in my top five Fics that I have ever read, and I hope that Webnovel authors continue to impress like Leylin here. So, I wish you luck, Leylin Blackwood, and I hope you never drop this gem, as it would be a great shame!

Writing Quality The writing is top-notch, unlike the majority of works in the top rankings. The author clearly understands the importance of proofreading before publishing—shocking, right? Squints at 60% of the top-ranked works. --- Story Development The story is genuinely intriguing, and you won’t find a lot of predictable clichés here. It keeps you guessing, which is a breath of fresh air. Despite this, the author hasn’t forgotten they’re writing fanfiction. So yes, you still get your guilty pleasures while diving into a story that feels fresh and original. --- Character Design This is where the author truly excels. Every character, even the minor ones, feels like a real person. While some might argue that the author is "piggybacking" on already established characters, it’s important to remember this is told from the MC's point of view. The author does an excellent job showing us the world through the MC’s lens. Character interactions are particularly well-written, drawing you in and making you care deeply about the characters. --- Update Schedule I’m not a fan of rating books based on update schedules. In my opinion, Webnovel’s inclusion of this parameter is one reason the platform is overrun with mediocre works. Writing a gem takes time, which isn’t possible when authors are pressured to churn out chapters like products on an assembly line. Rant aside, this author has kept their promise, consistently delivering chapters on schedule. --- World Background We’re still following the Fate plot, so there’s not much new in terms of world-building. But—big but—the author works wonders with what’s already there. The descriptions are vivid enough that you can picture everything clearly in your head. For immersive readers like me, this is a huge win. --- Reasons to Read This 1. It’s not a Pokémon harem. Shocking, right? Based on where things are headed, it looks like there’ll only be two pairings. 2. If you’re into action, the fight scenes are detailed and exciting. 3. The MC isn’t some overpowered god, but they’re not a punching bag either. It’s a nice balance where you won’t feel like you’re reading a never-ending underdog saga. 4. Magic actually matters in this story. I know, crazy—magic in a magical world. A lot of Fate fics ignore this, so it’s refreshing to see it play a significant role here. 5. You get all the good stuff Fate is known for: manipulation, backstabbing, shrewd plans, and emotional games. While the MC isn’t always the mastermind, they’re actively involved in the schemes. 6. The author respects the Fate lore and doesn’t pull random nonsense out of thin air. Hardcore Fate fans will appreciate the attention to detail. 7. The MC doesn’t know the entire plot, so this isn’t one of those lazy “canon retellings” where everything goes as expected. However, they have just enough knowledge to avoid being completely blind, which is exactly why we read fanfiction—to see things done differently or better. 8. While romance hasn’t been front and center, the current arc hints at some fluffy moments coming up soon. If you’re into romance, you’ll probably enjoy where this is headed. --- Final Thoughts If you’re tired of the usual garbage and want something that’s actually worth your time, give this a shot. Read the first 5-6 chapters and decide for yourself. Don’t let other people’s opinions—positive or negative—sway you. You might just find your next favorite fic.

Endless Path : Infinite Cosmos

Vahn was an atypical youth. Due to a rare mutation, his blood had the potential to target and attack ailments within the human body. Touted as a universal cure, people had elevated his status above the norm and given him the classification "Panacea". In the media, he was hailed as a great hero who would usher in a new era or human wellness. However, behind the scenes things weren't so bright. Being a unique individual, Vahn spent his entire youth locked up in a lab with various scientists and research teams using his body and blood to perform endless amounts of experiments. The only solace in his suffering was the various anime and manga made available to him between experiments. He often imagined himself as the protagonist in a world of his own, finally in control of his own destiny. For years he nurtured this desire, until at the age of 14 he died when an organization had tried to kidnap him from the lab... "Finally, I don't have to suffer anymore..." This was Vahn's last thought as he faded into the endless black abyss... "You poor soul."
