The Last King Of Darkness

This is a world shrouded in darkness. The spreading Black Fog corrodes every living creature. The only protection for humanity lies in fire. But as the dark Epoch approached, the fires slowly extinguished. Countless strong Kingdoms became dens for Dark Monsters, humans lost contact with each other, and survivors trembled in the faint solitary light. Until Rod came to this world. "Damn, what's this cow and horse stuff, is it edible?" "This Soul, it's delicious." "As long as the will of fire remains unextinguished, I believe, one day, humanity will once again illuminate this world and burn all spectral vermin to ashes." "Even if I'm mired in darkness, bearing the Dream Realm, I can still support this world!" "We've won!" —— The world is about to fall, the Abyss looms at our side. And I will raise this Unique flame to light up the world. Yes, I am the last King of Darkness. But... Hello? Anyone, save me.

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.

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).
