This novel is a breath of fresh air in many ways.
The grammar’s a ****y bit weaker than some, but that hardly affects the experience.
You’ll find that the author, Suiyan, has a fetish for mass releases (don’t think of anything dirty).
The story progresses nicely on a slowly quickening rate. From the first few chapters to the latest, you’ll always find tidbits to enhance your knowledge on what the core plot is. Does he have to reach the peak of the world? Save his loved one? Save his race? Extend his life span enough to not die? The answer is: Yes.
Like I said, it’s a breath of fresh air, and the same goes for the characters. You don’t have that faultless main character that never does bad, or commits mass genocide and goes “I won’t let the world walk over me” or something of the like. Here, our MC, Krune is genuinely good, not from his character description, but rather his actions. While he comes of as a little wimpy, character development that sees him taking on new, and the cliched shameless trait exist. But, this only enhances the comedy, ‘cause the Novel is easily top three in comedy. The side characters, while kinda generic at the beginning, diversify in their characters later on. This, also, is a plus.
For world background, you have a literal multiverse and a higher realm, but the plot never feels like it’s larger than its current setting. To me, that would mean that if he’s in a village, you could get knowledge on the cities, but the readers don’t immediately focus on what happens after he leaves the village, but rather the village itself. I’m not entirely sure what constitutes an amazing background, but I think it’s good enough if it’s there and doesn’t overshadow the foreground before it’s the main focus. Nonetheless, the world is expansive with the author not only expanding on it based on size/location but also based on how the people’s views change in the different parts. Or at the very least confirming that it won’t just be a cliche “go to city, go to competition, go to school, offend big guy run away, find something useful, repeat steps one to five with a ‘capital state’ rather than ‘city’, goes back to city and floor the big guy before we forget about him.” Krune is not the type that lets conflict dictate his worldview.
All in all, it’s a great, kinda lighthearted read. I love it. Hope you try it if you’re reading this.
