I don't usually enjoy WNs on this platform, but a friend suggested me this one. And so far I'm liking this. No infuriating cliches, good writing quality, nicely developed world background, well-thought out power system, and interesting cast of characters. I like it author. Keep writing.

Ahem! Writing this review to let people know what true peak fiction truly is. It's been so long that I actually carve for the novel chps every day that I can even remember. AND I am glad to say that it was one of my best decisions to follow this novel since it has like 10(?) chps Every second I spent reading this novel was worth it Initially I thought this was going to be one of the copies Of the famous novel IWKTA since I saw a review saying how 'he' likes this novel n wanted to finish it curious I found this novel And O' boy the author proved me wrong with the start. This novel seriously has potential to compete with the peak fictions like Advent and Hade's Son Ahem! anyways enough of my glazing n let's talk about what truly matters • Writing quality is peak. Proper dialogues ✅ correct grammar✅ simple writing n no over description ✅ lengthy chps ✅ Instant five stars no hesitation Not only that but the author also actually knows how to write the transition of internal monologues n quotes appropiriately and doesn't feel forced at all!! • World building is not truly exposed it but the author gives us hints about various family names n places of 'that' realm • Character design is great the backstories of how the character's behave and their relationship with each other. The author is definitely a fan of the Avatar: The last air bender n always drops several hints of that series. (⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠) The introduction of the characters and the interaction that always leads to misunderstandings are hilarious n the mc is actually someone we can relate to and boy it's hilarious when we know it from the perspective of the other characters especially the og mc 😂 • Update stability is improving atleast since it has gone premium (⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠) good work author Being in the basement we will always support u on this crusade of urs!! The last and the main thing THE STORY OFC!! I really liked the story so far and the latest chps r peak ( goosebumps fr!) It's a shame tho atleast the mc should have punched 'her' face to get revenge on what 'he' did to the mc Anyways More face-slapping will always be welcomed (⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)

Read as of chapter 95/111 A very pleasant surprise. I highly recommend this novel for anyone who enjoys the Academy genre and can tolerate a trash protagonist. To be honest, one of the best academy novels on this site if we are talking about writing quality. Especially the characters. The character dialogue quality in this novel is quite high. There's a clear difference in level when it comes to this point. They really resemble much closer to how real people talk. However, not everyone would enjoy this. This is due to the protagonist. And when I say trash, I do not mean weak. Rather his personality is as the title says, is that of a Young Master. So the actions of the protagonist may seriously trigger some readers. He's narcissistic, acts trash, treats people like tools, very arrogant, manipulative, whiny and all. Why would you read this then? Because despite his flaws, he is a very compelling character. He has his reasons of why he became like that, tragic backstory, intelligent, will always aim to win at the end, isn't the most heartless garbage, hilarious young master shenanigans, and at the end of the day he embraces the image of a young master. A character that is obviously the stepping stone for the protagonist. There is also a nice, simple card (power) system, and the author has demonstrated that he can write some intense fight scenes. Ones that span many chapters if the author wishes to do so. Other characters aren't much inferior to our protagonist either. Because of the quality of the work, I'm forced to look at the novel with a bit more critical lens than the usual leniency I give. ------------------------------- SPOILERS for the Author. Some things I felt were inadequate. The whole set up of Noah honestly feels more like a way to justify a self-insertion of a person from reality becoming a game character. While it did do it's job, it feels more on the redundant side. It could've been done much better. Rather you can just remove the idea of something like a past life, and just make him a straight up regressor. But of course, this would mean losing the commercial value of a self-insertion, so it may be fine as it is. Still, it can be executed much better. Regarding Juliana, I just can't seem to fathom how the original Samael was able to tolerate Juliana. Juliana is depicted to be basically Playing the pig, eating the tiger. Awaiting a day so she can have her revenge. Seemingly able to tolerate much abuse in order to have that perfect moment. That's fine. However, she seems to quip and give a lot of snide remarks to Samael, to quite a large extent. How did a "cold, calculating, demoness" girl like her not get killed for such actions. After all, the original Samael was someone who did not tolerate anyone looking down on him and would go after them relentlessly. All she's doing is asking for a beating and it feels out of character. Sure it can be seen as a stress-reliever, but that doesn't mean Samael himself would tolerate it. If she is a calculating crouching tiger with such tolerance, then I would feel that she wouldn't do anything that would jeopardize her position, Don't get me wrong, Juliana is great as a character and enjoyable to read, but this point really bugs me to the point that I even mentioned it as a comment on one of the chapters. That's my only issue with her and her relationship with Samael. They have great banter. Another issue is being careful with Samael of his portayal. He is still trash, so be mindful not to make him seem appear so good if written in a omniscient perspective. I hope the author understand what I mean by this. Those are the only 3 issues I remember that I was compelled to speak about. Since I read it months ago and only recently picked it up again. -------------------------------- Suggestions/Hope to see Samael and Michael one day becoming actual friends with one another. It would honestly be beautiful. Perhaps even a great genuine relationship. Regarding romance... I am shipping best girl Alexia with Samael. That girl is amazing. She has great energy, and honestly I think someone like her would be able to charm and make Samael happy. They are both ridiculous. The combination between the two when they stir up something can be amazingly comedic and crazy. Just imagining it is exciting! It would also be really cool if there is a moment in the story where she regains her sight, maybe its a temporary thing but it could be very special if done correctly. Even perhaps a future goal to make her character even more compelling. Juliana is also the other best option. Great banter, but personally I would prefer Alexia. Juliana is not much inferior to Alexia, and the complex relationship between Samael and her can make a very compelling love story. However, it would be hard to pull off, especially when it comes to the relationship being believable or not. I would suggest contemplating seriously whether to make her the one who wins. Since I enjoy drama, I would like a love triangle. Harem is a no though. Difficult to pull off to make it believable, especially with your characters. Alexia aside, I can't see it with Juliana. As for Samael, I think he can be open to either single lead or polygamy depending on the direction. Would be more meaningful if it's single lead, considering his tragic life. Perhaps leaning into the direction of someone who wants a genuine relationship, despite being a person who adorns a mask of trickery. And because love is war! Final thoughts: It's a very good academy novel and I highly suggest reading it. It might be my favorite on this site if we are strictly speaking about character dialogue. It is definitely up there with something like Advent of the Three Calamities or Bastard Instructor. Love the work, please keep it up! You honestly deserve more readers, so it's a little surprising you don't have more, but I suppose the young master being too flawed may be the turn off. But conversely, this makes him much more human and a compelling read.

After well over a year since IWKTA's unfortunate 'end,' I finally managed to find the catalyst for catharsis that fills the void left behind. YMPoV (as I decided to call it) is a novel filled with things I can praise to no end, especially after spending an unhealthy amount of time reading the usual claptrap posted on this platform. For starters, the writing quality. Top-class, exactly the way I like it. A novel’s writing quality is, to me, one of the most important qualities it can possess, both in attracting readers and enhancing the reading experience. Going by that, YMPoV has undoubtedly conquered over 90% of the dross this site has to offer. The author has struck that perfect balance of lyrical beauty and raw, real emotion, making every page feel like it’s been carefully crafted while effortlessly flowing. The author has a way of making complex thoughts and moments feel accessible, pulling you into the story without it feeling heavy or overworked. But honestly, what really won me over were the characters. The interactions between them are so rich and real, it feels like you're eavesdropping on genuine conversations. There’s a natural flow between them that makes you believe in their relationships from the very start. Whether it’s the banter, the not-so-subtle tension, or the deep moments of understanding, the chemistry between the characters is what truly drives the heart of this book. Samael, as the main character, is absolutely rocking his role. Why? Well, mostly because he reminds me a bit too much of Kirito from SAO (Abridged), and any character written even remotely close to that guy will automatically be better than most of the 'very original' main characters we see in novels these days. (And yes, I did notice the very obvious reuse of jokes from SAOA, not that I am complaining—those are too good not to be used.) The side characters are no slouches either. While not nearly as dashing as our narcissistic protagonist, they still hold their own charms. The story development so far has been slow, yet smooth. Web novels are oversaturated with fast-paced stories that put zero effort into plot (largely due to the majority of the reader base wanting wish-fulfillment power fantasies rather than actual stories), which is why I appreciate a novel that takes things at its own pace. Nearly 140 chapters in, and only a few arcs have passed. Seems slow? On paper, yes. But the experience I had reading it was entirely different. Each chapter is filled with content that keeps you on the edge of your seat while perfectly managing to build tension and deepen character development. It’s not about rushing from one plot point to the next; it’s about savoring every moment and allowing the story to breathe. The slow pacing lets the author explore the nuances of each interaction, the subtle shifts in the characters’ emotions, and the gradual unraveling of the world around them. Even though the arcs take their time, every chapter feels essential, like it’s contributing to a bigger picture that will eventually pay off in ways you didn’t expect. The world-building and power system of the novel are yet another aspect I can appreciate. While it still follows the 'portals opened and monsters came out' trend, YMPoV builds on this concept and develops its own rules. The power system, most of all, has its own twists that make it all the more interesting. Without spoiling much, the versatility and elements like being able to 'break' an opponent’s ability (by breaking their cards) add more variables to the fights. Speaking of fights, I have to say that while fight scenes in novels usually bore me, making me skim through them, I found myself not doing this as much in this novel. I suppose that’s another plus point I can give. As for update stability, I can't really comment much, as I only caught up recently. But it doesn’t seem bad either. One thing I never understood, however, is all the Juli-glaze the readers have going on. I mean, I’m all for crazies, but she hasn't really done much in the novel, objectively speaking. As much as I want to like her, Alexia has had much better interactions with the MC so far. But when it comes to ships, I always seem to support the loser for some reason. So, as tradition dictates, I support Vereshia, the Cadet Council President.

Armipotent

This is a work of fiction, any names, characters, stories or events, are fictitious! (Even the country in the story is just the author's fantasy as the author never visited those countries in the story) Armipotent is an archaic adjective meaning "strong in battle." Basically, it refers to someone who is physically tough in war. Originally, it was used to refer to the Roman god of war, Mars. ===================== Tang Shaoyang, an orphan who dropped out of the middle school to fight on the street as he found out school was useless for a penniless orphan like him. Tang Shaoyang dropped out of his school, fighting on the street, and made a name for himself. Berserker Tang from Youyouliucun. Afterward, Dragon Wing triad recruited him and everything was good for him. Even though the public deemed him as a tumor of society, Tang Shaoyang was having a decent life. Until one day, everything changed as an absurd and strange game started. "... Game starts! Stage one: Survival for The Fittest!" After the game started, zombies appeared out of nowhere. ... Ding! "You have killed 1000 zombies less than 24 hours since the game started! You gained 3 Talents!" Dong! "You may choose 3 Talents! please choose carefully!" Tang Shaoyang held his chin and mused what Talent he had to choose. "With Zombies appear everywhere, I need an infinite strength... this is one, I still need to choose 2 Talents more..." Then a lewd smile formed on his lips. "I want an infinite strength, charm and charisma to conquer women, and the last one, I want to upgrade my **** so I can please my women!" After saying this, Tang Shaoyang laughed aloud. "Hahaha, there's no way such talent exists... ehhhhh?!!!" Ding! Dong! "3 Talents are consumed! You have been granted Divine Body! Good Luck, Gamer Tang Shaoyang!" Tang Shaoyang immediately checked the detail of Divine Body. After a brief silence, he muttered unbelievably. "Such Talents really exist..." Note: I don't own the cover. If the creator wants me to take down the cover or put credit, please notify me by replying to my review at the Review section.

Primordial Villain with a Slave Harem

Quinlan, a simple office worker finds himself transmigrated to an extremely dangerous fantasy land as a level 1 Commoner with nothing to his name but his wits - and a unique gift that accompanied his teleportation. No one in Thalorind could have predicted that this unassuming arrival would one day rise to the top, redefining the very meaning of the term 'power'... And that he may have achieved said result by joining a criminal organization and clawing his way through its ranks. In the beginning, Quinlan was painfully weak and alone but thanks to his severe trust issues, joining a team was... hard. However, he soon noticed that a lot of people have collars around their necks in this world... People that couldn't exactly betray him. Follow Quinlan's journey as he grows in strength, amasses wealth, fights to the death, and meets lovely ladies. ... Discord: https://discord.gg/bjunEkswQ3 ... After writing over 750 chapters, here’s what you should know: 1. About the beginning: The early chapters are a bit rough. I'm not saying that it's horrible, in fact, I believe the story to be very enjoyable right from chapter 1. But, at the end of the day, this is my first original novel, and I stumbled in some areas, especially with the MC's attitude. He's too reserved and occasionally too "simpy" with the first female lead. However, the MC grows into a confident, powerful, and composed figure. No long-term cringe. He becomes the kind of MC you want to root for. 2. Quinlan’s morality: He’s not a cruel, sadistic villain. Most of the time, he won't even be acting like a real villain, only when pushed to the limit. Meaning he won't torture puppies or civilians for fun while cackling manically. However, he’s greedy, shameless, and opportunistic. If the lives of his loved ones are at stake and he can only save them by burning a city with innocents inside down, he’ll do it. He's ruthless toward strangers when necessary, but doesn't delight in cruelty. 3. Regarding slaves: Yes, Quinlan becomes a slave master. However, he treats all his women—free or enslaved—with care and respect. 4. More than smut: Every love interest has a real story, a real presence. No girl will be left behind. As of Chapter 750, Quinlan has 7 lovers and a few more "in-development" love interests. This is not a "catch them all" story, adding one girl every 20 chapters. I prefer harems made up of girls with richly developed characters over giant harems full of shallow ladies. Quality over Quantity. 5. Balanced storytelling: My aim was to create a work where romance, action, and slice-of-life blend together naturally. There’s high-stakes action, power progression, romantic developments, comedy, and some chill downtime to let both the characters and the readers breathe. 6. Weak-to-Strong Progression: Quinlan will become OP. But he rises slowly, not overnight. His journey will hopefully feel earned. 7. Not every female character listed in the fandom is a love interest: Some women are important to the plot but are not part of the harem or a planned to be, such as his two mothers. 8. No Yuri. No NTR. That's it, thank you for taking your chance on my novel! I'll make a promise to you, showing how much I believe you'll love the novel if you get over the somewhat bumpy beginning! If you read 750 chapters and hate the story even after investing so much time into it, then you may burn me alive!
