Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

"Kiss me, Cole," I begged, my head sinking back into the seat. "I…" He leaned in just a little, his lips close enough for me to taste his breath, but then he stopped. "Not now, Mia," he said with that smug voice. His hand trailed lower, gliding over my belly, fingers slipping under the waistband of my trousers. He didn't even hesitate—his fingers dipped lower, brushing over the wetness soaking through my panties. "Damn," he groaned in my ear. "You're fucking soaked."

Reminiscent of deep baked video game lore, and perhaps a close resemblance to Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road”, your writing style is rather interesting and easy to follow. The uncommon choice in protagonist for the story is also an interesting direction, one that I believe holds a lot of merit and intrigue. While I wouldn’t quite compare it to the excellent world building of overlord, it does have its own unique style.

Good fan fiction in Akame ga KILL verse. Main character personality is interesting enough and the Akame ga KILL characters are true to their original personality but lack exposure due to the short length of the fan fiction.

I am not the best fan of romance fiction. Your story is good. I didn't see any errors and so on. My only problem while reading is the chapters are too short. I hate short chapters more than waiting for long chapters. When I am in the mood to read romance fiction I will continue reading. Good Luck!

I love Forsaken a LOT, and the fact that it's gotten a webnovel actually made me (and my friends) jump out of my seat. I've read loads of fanfics and Forsaken stories on Wattpad, but never have I ever actually read a Roblox fanfic of this quality. Already in Chapter 1, the book pays close attention to the original source material (likely because an actual Forsaken Dev wrote this) and integrates a lot of the ARG and side stories. The novel does a pretty good job at setting up the plot (I have a theory that it was The Spectre's puppets who sent Elliot into Damnation, but this likely isn't true considering they talked about finding someone "connected," which I'm pretty sure will be elaborated upon in the later chapters). I also love how the dialogue is handled. I don't know how to describe it, but it's just very real. Like, Person A can say X, and, surprised, Person B can ask X for confirmation. I'd describe the dialogue to be something along the lines of Cormac McCarthy. The dialogue is just realistic in a way. And that's not to mention the The Last Guest easter eggs (which I hope the book continues doing).
