niccolo machiavelli

It is necessary for him who lays out a state and arranges laws for it to presuppose that all men are evil and that they are always going to act according to the wickedness of their spirits whenever they have free scope. -Niccolo Machiavelli

The novel is extremely good, complex politic intrigues, great action and fights. The story develops slowly and is currently put on hold for further translation. Great read for everyone looking for a normal novel to read. Medieval European settings with little-to-no magic and extraordinary spiced with political machination worthy of Machiavelli. One of the two worthy for reading (and turned into paperback novels in my opinion).

I can honestly say with all of my heart, this is the greatest work of art I have ever read. The MC by the name of "EXP'' is the most charismatic person I have read / seen since Robert Downey Jr. As Tony Stark, And the most decisive sincere and knowledgable since Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli!!! Give this a read, I'm telling you you wont regret it.

The story is readable but it looks like it’s machine translated, I wish the story had a legit translation. The plot is great and the drive and ambition the mc has for revenge is incredible, he’s basically following the famous quote from Machiavelli “ You must be like a lion and a fox, a lion can’t can’t recognize traps and fox can’t defend itself against the wolves,” I can’t wait for more chapters with a real translation.

Review based on what i have read so far ( chapter 60+) It's my personal opinion so if you have anything against on what I'm going to say you can write your own review 1. the world background- can't say much since the story is in early stage. So far I like how the author described the world setting, events and characters interaction. 2. pacing of the story- as a reader, personally, i feel like the author did a great job regulating this. It's not so slow where you'll be skipping words for unwanted fillers. It's not so fast where you'll feel like you missed out something. It's the best a reader can ask for, we'll, aside from the cliffhangers. 3. MC's character development- looking at things the way they progressed. His character development is understandable for me, for short i like the way the mc progress. He's a bit edgy at times, it's expected given how he lived his life up to this point. Hoping there will be some progress between him and a certain someone, i will not give a name but she's very likeable. 4. MC's system- there are not much interaction between the mc and the system unlike other novels. It has its own advantages for the mc just like every other mc, but it's not up to the point where i will call it OP. MC still has to do his part to gain something. 5. Characters surrounding the mc- they are not plain to read. They have their own depth and mystery that will make you want to know more about them. Of course, we can't forget about the stepping stones for our mc, some of them are stupid as usual while some are smart and think for themselves when to back out- unlike the stupid ones. The mc is ruthless and i like it, im not really into naive and goody-two-shoes kind. Realistically speaking, if you look at every great person at the top in our current world despite their different attitudes they all have similarities if you study them. Yes they act and do good things to look good in front of us but is that really there is? No, i think not, they're just good at hiding their worse side from our plain eyes. Every person at the top knew both the black and white of life. As what Niccolo Machiavelli said "a wise prince should be both fear and love".
