Ok. Second official review of this book.Before I begin, I'd like to say that, despite my numerous comments in this book, I do enjoy it to an extent.Iv'e invested a lot of time into the story and unfortunately, it's impossible for me to drop it at this point. I have to see it through Now, in light of that, I will first talk about the redeeming qualities of the book 1. Story and world development : One of the best parts of this book is it's rich and expansive world building. It's power system, rankings, locations and characters have a lot of potential. I've said it before. Each of these form a little branch out of the main storyline which I believe, if shed with light and expanded would give the book a more robust cast and story line, something like Naruto and one piece where even the side characters are interesting and aren't just there to assist the main character. A good example is rhusborough (doubt I spelt that right, could never get it right at first try) and his agenda, his story, another is the coup currently underway by Dante which should show us deeper into the inner workings and higher ups of the continent. And our resident Aizen, Raven and her intentions. I want to applaud the author for creating a robust cast with diverse motivations and characters. Lore that isn't that head aching to read and a power system that isn't that generic. .I enjoy expansions such as that 2. I had to think long about a second as I didn't want to drop only a single positive. So, I'd like commend the writing quality, or rather , the improvement of it. The author really listened to us on that one and made efforts to make the delivery easy to digest with killing the quality drastically. Kudos, author Now, I'm going to go into the negative. I hope both the author and the book possess an SSS rank defence talent because I'm about to unleash weeks of venom I've been restraining for this day 1.Forced power progression, plot and interaction. Author, what the fuck... Like really.. what the fuck are you doing??? Sometimes I read your book and I wonder why you wish to irrevocably push ur story towards suicide. Firstly, Northern has to most abilities in his bag than any other web novel mc I've read and trust me, I've read a lot but it now poses the question, does he need that many? It has reached the point where you the author don't remember them for chapters on end and end up having to force them back into the story.Northern is over fed really as a character and it kills the story for me. Let me use a practical example, Naruto learnt the rasengan, then the rasenshuriken, then sage mode, then KCM and finally sage of six paths power. At every junction of these level ups, he was at the right point between powerful enough to keep up and weak enough that it isn't bland watching him. There was struggle, inguinity and creativity on how to use his abilities and the urge to grow stronger to match the plot of the story. Northern on the other hand, is the most rushed shoddy excuse for character growth I've ever seen, to the point that I feel nothing watching him fight, no excitement when he discovers a new way to use his abilities, my heart doesn't shake when he goes up against stronger foes. Nothing. He copies talents with no idea of synergy, even a human like me would think of synergy but anything that looks cool to him, he takes it like it's pokemon. He has to catch them all. Void flames Chaos flames that doesn't exist and can burn away the idea of concepts Void force that works like gojo's limitless black lance chaos eyes (the most ridiculous in this list) reality warping a useless amount of summons that don't impact the story line, their just there to fulfill stereotypes and many more. .. . What the fuck is this list author? What can fight this??? Any struggle you put in front of this would be forced and that's what's killing ur story Every foe he has faced so far can be killed by the base powers of all these abilities Zero struggle, zero resistance, zero excitement The fights are bland and I cry blood reading them sometimes. It's like watching Zeno raid through a Lego world. Secondly, this is very important so I'll try to explain well. You force the shit out of plot. Some many aspects of your story are unnatural and deliberately luminary level cringe 1. Raven's hate for northern: I can't be the only one that sees that what Raven did from the ship to whatever, doesn't warrant the amount of hate this nigga has for her. He literally created a whole as summon just to kill her. Rather than hate, he's obsessed and if that's the route you use to mount a romantic relationship, I pity you. I know you were trying to invert sunny and nephis's relationship but you literally forced it down the readers and northern's throat. Especially when you tried to potray northern as a 'smart' character. He tried to use her as well but got beat, be a man and suck it up 2.The effects of northern's power on his being: Truth be told, I understand wanting to nerf absolute power with a crippling flaw but in my opinion, you ruined the character for me. His power were meant to eat at his humanity and turn him empty. An example of that would be Gabimaru of Hell's paradise, who became numb to morality and emotional stimuli.. That was what I was expecting and was excited for it but instead of turning hollow or less empathetic, he became the most arrogant, cringe delivering, self conceited and prideful mf to walk the nine realms. Nothing about his character is realistic. If you wanted to turn him hollow, it should have been a gradual process, from him understanding he isn't phased by taking a life anymore to being unable to care about the well being of strangers such as Dante's men Instead, this ahh thinks he's the king of the world, with his weird ass "Im enough"self glazing piece of turd mentality and this mentality is born from the plot armour that is his abilities. Again, it is too late to change his character design without making a huge right turn in ur story but I think it's worth it. Ur mc is annoying, narcissistic and full of himself without be charming with it. Characters can't be this level of an ass without be charming, an example is Arsene from monarch of darkness. Without it, you look retarded 3.The glazing: OMG, when does it end????? ? every interaction, every conversation, every character seems to be on the road to sucking this man's already intergalactic ego. Damn!! ! Characters with potential are reduced to mere glazing devices to the point I don't respect them anymore. The story line shifts in a way that must drop the limelight on his ass, with cringe ass lines and development . Everything lives for that man's glazing and it's frustrating as hell Can't I just read a five chapter stretch without hearing "I'm the shit" and "northern is the shit" written in a million different ways? ?? I understand wanting to shine on ur mc but it's become toxic and unhealthy for the story Surprise and concern at his power is reasonable but you stress it so much, the fear, the despair just staring in his eyes, Fuck Sorry, got carried away. I'll swallow the rest and just advice you to kill the glazing and focus on the story. Ur plot line is wonderful, but ur killing it with ur own writing #stopthebloodyglazing Huh, I was able to fit all my complaints into a single section. That's about it I heard you were Nigerian so I was extra motivated when writing this. I want to make it clear, once again, that despite the severity of my words, I'm a supporter of ur story. .If I wasn't so much of a cheap stake, I would have gifted ur book by now My last advice, or rather a suggestion: It's too late to do a u turn on any of the development you've made after derailing it. So through another plot device to derail it once more Throw an arc at northern, crush that pride and arrogance Kill off the summons( most of them but all them is preferably to me as they serve zero purpose) And nearly kill him as well. The paragon and luminary ranks have less meaning now because of him so make it scary again Put him through some kaneki level development and ground him again in something concrete If you want to make his conceited, arrogant or annoying once more, make it interesting Snatch his system from him and leave him with a few powers and make him climb his way back up( if possible, leave the system but lessen that ridiculous list of abilities) Focus more on divergent storylines and characters, Raven, rhusborough, the leaders of the continent, smaller, almost inconsequential storylines to add depth to ur story. Let the characters stand on their own, not as plot devices to notherns shady greatness Show us effort, strife, desperation, bonds, emptiness, grit, suffering As an author, ur emotions should speak through ur work Do you know what I gleem about you from ur work? Ur a shallow anime and novel reader that likes face slapping and overpowered characters that can go against anime's strongest You like flashy anime with powers and explosions and there's nothing wrong with that but aim for more you never know, ur book could get so popular you get both a mange and anime adaptation Keep working and I'll be here to roast you another 100 chapters in if nothing changes Ciao
