The author here, just dropping my little contribution (and my 5 stars, because it seems to be tradition). So, what can I say about this story? Well, to start, this idea’s been floating around in my head since the first Fantastic Beasts movie came out. Honestly, I always thought the franchise had a lot of potential! It’s a shame it didn’t meet all the expectations, but it was that same spark that got me started with writing. The idea of exploring the life of a possible descendant of Grindelwald and how they’d fit into the Harry Potter world just grew over time. What would this character be like? What would their connection to their ancestor’s legacy be? And of course, what would happen if their path crossed with Harry’s? It was a mix of curiosity and wanting to try something fresh that led me to create Lucian and the rest of the characters. At first, I really debated whether to follow the canon or not. As a fanfic reader, the stories that grabbed my attention the most were those that dared to explore new paths within the worlds we already knew and loved. But, I also get that the canon, while not perfect, has its own charm and power… something that a lot of authors sometimes forget, and I didn’t want that to happen in my story. So, I decided to walk a fine line: trying to respect the foundation of the magical world J.K. created (though not everything), while also introducing new ideas and characters. In the end, it meant taking some creative liberties to give the story my own twist, without losing its original feel. It was harder than I thought, but I gave it my best shot. Is the story perfect? Probably not, not even close. This is my first serious attempt at writing a story, so I’m still learning how to balance everything—chapter length, pacing, pretty much everything that makes a story work. But, I’m giving it my all to make it something worth reading. So, here I am, super grateful for every reader who’s given it a chance, and excited to see how far this story can go. Thanks for being along for the ride!

I know you aren't following cannon but the worst and most annoying tropes are called that for a reason.

As someone who's been on this website for a long time, specifically as an avid fanfic reader, I can confidently say this story is very very intriguing. I will explain in detail. But for now, the overall sentiment: It's great and a somewhat unique twist on the typical HP fanfics. I'd definitely recommend people read it. Now let's dive into the details. Starting off with the writing quality. I am not the best judge, and probably slightly biased. However, if I do compare it to the others I've read on this site, the writing quality is good. It's descriptive, sensible and invokes a detailed scene. Though sometimes it can feel overpowering, but that's not really anything you'd worry about as a reader. Perhaps, just for the author's reference, sometimes it's best to tone it down so the chapters are more digestible. Regardless, 5 Stars, through and through. I am not one to speak on "Stability of Updates". I already have a horrible track record of that. However, it's not that bad. The author is probably busy, and seeing as its their first book, it probably takes some time getting used to the update schedule. For now, 5 Stars, I don't see why the rating should suffer. Story Development. An interesting twist on the classic HP fanfic, though nothing too wild or off beat. Harry does have female twin in this story, and hence the number of POV's that matter are increased. If you're not into that, its understandable. MC is the grandson of Grindelwald, that's well established. The story is a great attempt at creating tension in Hogwarts through "indirect politics", but not the unsavoury kind. Only 10 chapters in, so I cannot claim that its perfect. But it is intriguing. Character design. The author has done well in crafting their own MC (Lucian). He has a great personality and always seems to know more than he lets on. He is calm, collected and primarily someone that doesn't share much. Not to say that he's not sociable. That's a separate matter. He's quite the enigma, the best way to describe is someone who's probably matured faster than he needed to. He's well versed in what goes on behind the scenes. Nevertheless, that doesn't take away from his inquisitive thoughts, and it seems like there's always a plan. World Background, well the world background isn't something surprising. Typical Hogwarts story. Perhaps in the future we'll get to see France or some other magical country. The story starts off near Diagon Alley, so don't expect it to change course. Look's like the story will spend the first arc or two in the castle. Overall, interesting story. I am happy that its not harem. I hope the author continues writing and uploading. Definitely a story to keep your eye on. I'd also recommend that the author should leave his own review, explaining his perspective on the story and what his circumstances are. It'll help connect with the readers more.

Woman with the Tiger Eyes in the Beast World

Sienna travelled to another world when she found a beautiful crystal in the sea. This wild land is ruled by warriors, who can change into ferocious beasts. Females are scarce in this world, they have more males to ensure their protection, but not every tribe treats them well. Sienna first meets an Ape prince who likes her to be his but scares her halfway to his village. She ran from him but he tried to get her back by force. The huge snake retrieves her for himself as for his food. She decided to play a game of wits with him, to give her 3 chances to escape. She will encounter a tiger Lord, who is so smitten with her, that he will gladly die for her, the wicked and exotic Scorpion King, the cold and dangerous eagles and the Black Dragon who can destroy all others. Sienna will need to use all her wits and beauty to tame these beasts. This story is not as gruesome or violent as regular Chinese stuff here, because I'm European, so it is kind of easy to read but it still has hot content, twists and an interesting storyline. The setting ranges from ancient, medieval to almost modern. I had to move this book to novels as it is not fanfic, I made the mistake with the settings and I will keep updating there as well for you who have been reading here for some time. This story in the novels is called Woman with the Tiger eyes in the Beast Warrior's World. Thank you so much for reading. Also this is uncontracted story, so enjoy the free reading:-)
