Ok being honest it's far from the worst thing to read on webnovel. But it's a sequel to epic which means I've gone into this looking for the same feelings I got in the first chapters of epic which was full of cool powers and great fights, before dropping into a 50/50 smut/story mix after chapter 100ish from memory which is where my interest became a lot more lacklustre. Now trying not to spoil much, the outright lemons are dialed back about 80% or more but that's just them being replaced by fade to blacks and such, as a trade off vahn has already got an expansive group gunning for his bed in the first 20 chapters and it just gets worse from there. The powers are much less creatively shown as of this point in the story, there's not a whole lot of true developmental struggle for vahn in the slightest, not a single fight that I can even remember so far (if they've even been written out in favour of the fic being packed for of honestly awful romance) unlike a number I can still recall from the original to this day (e.g. the solo Rex fight). I'm tempted to mark this as spoiler purely because the plot so far is vahn walks into a room/area, flirting/foreplay ensues, gloss over anything else plausibly interesting and onto the next scene. It's rather disappointing from a writer where I've seen the heights they started from and was genuinely interested to see that quality come back but I haven't seen it yet. I'll keep reading as long as the flicker of hope I have lasts but I do not recommend this at all for people looking for a halfway creative or interesting fanfic cause I can no longer trust that you would find it.

No, I quite simply struggle to pay the bus fares to get into uni each week and even on the weeks I don't, I have other things to pay for. As I said in the review I'll keep reading and we'll see where this goes, I might amend the review at a later date but until then I'll leave this here

This review feels as if someone else has put my thoughts to words. Vahn is entirely diffreent and it feels as if u didn't learn anything about story tellying from epic. Vahns a diffrent character.

Ein, EPICs glory days are over, branch out and find that original spark. This just feels like milking a dead horse. You are one of the best authors on this site but seem to have gotten lost in smut like ghostyz

It's a child isekai story. Using the mc's age to make them very childish and immature. This is highly likely to lead to using stupidity for tension throughout the story. It's also really convoluted in the beginning, with nothing made clear or concise with a bunch of flowery language that doesn't add anything to the story at all, but rather detracts from The quality. It might turn out alright, but the Mc being so childish and unrelateable just feels like the author is trying too hard to make something unique, and it comes off as 8th grade syndrome levels of cringe instead. Even the mcs name is no good. Tldr: Trying too hard to be unique, and ends up as a cringe fest.

it was pretty sad that I wasn't there for the original EPIC. (I couldn't get the feeling of waiting for a new chapter in my classroom.) So I'm grateful that I'm here for this new journey. While Vahn can get on my nerves( but what good character doesn't) and some of his choices I don't agree with but to me he's more like an annoying little brother or big since he was canonically born before me and I know this might seem like glazing but I feel like he's the best FF protagonist there is. PS go check out the patron there's extra chapters.

I don't really get it, the grammar and everything is good but it's like I'm missing chunks of story because those fade to blacks dunno if because it's paywalled behind P-word or because it has not been made yet but the fact it felt like I'm skipping in-between chapters really didn't give me a good feeling reading it. At least your MHA or OG EPIC didn't give me that feeling. Good luck to you I guess

This High School DxD fanfic brings a refreshing take to the familiar setting, offering a perfect blend of action, character development, and romance that fans of the series will appreciate. Rather than simply following the usual self-insert or overpowered OC route, the story focuses on a thoughtful progression for the protagonist, building them up in a way that feels earned rather than handed out. One of the standout aspects is how the author respects the original characters while adding depth to their personalities. Characters like Rias, Akeno, and Asia feel true to their canon selves but also show new sides, giving the readers fresh insights into their motivations and emotions. The harem dynamics are handled thoughtfully, with the relationships developing naturally rather than being rushed. Each girl is given her own time to shine, making their connections with the protagonist feel meaningful and well-earned. Overall, this fanfic is a gem in the DxD fandom. With well-developed characters, a compelling plot, and a thoughtful approach to the harem aspect, it stands out from the crowd of typical DxD stories. Whether you're looking for action, romance, or deeper character exploration, this fanfic delivers on all fronts.

Great story! Honestly, I don’t understand the criticism the author is facing. Yes, the protagonist's personality at the beginning is naive and innocent, but it fits perfectly with his background. Character growth requires accumulation, just as in real life we grow as people (or not) based on our life experiences. Those who read the author’s previous story know how satisfying it was to see the protagonist slowly grow and mature through his lived experiences. Unfortunately, many readers here on Webnovel suffer from "Uchiha reader syndrome." If the protagonist isn’t a cold and calculating psychopath, they rate the story negatively until it’s forgotten. I hope the author doesn’t get discouraged by this, as I’ve seen many good authors give up on stories because of it. That said, thank you for taking the time to write this. I would love to see you post this story on Questionable Questing.

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."

In DC/Young Justice with the Omnitrix/Ultimatrix and a Chat Group

So, apparently I'm Albedo now... And to make things worse, I'm in the DC universe, which one exactly, I've got no fucking clue. Fuck man! Why do I have to be in the body of a inverted person! Do you know how attention drawing white hair and red eyes look like in the real world?! It's been like what, the 4th person who asked me if they were natural?! ... I gotta dye this shit black, like my original hair was... (Author note: This fanfic is an AU of my other fanfic, where instead of Samael being in Marvel he is in DC/Young Justice. The world is a mix of the animated series and the comics - to give myself both a blueprint to work with and enough leeway, since I plan to make the characters have more of their comic capabilities. Also, It also has a chat group element, currently having Aizen, Light, and Azula in it as well as Samael. I hope you all enjoy it, see ya!)
