Synopsis

'Sinner of the Spades' takes place in an alternate early 20th century, at the turn of industrial advancement. Set in a world where one Empire rules over the majority of the western continent, the world is ravaged by the aftereffects of a great war. It is a world of tragedy, of longing for wealth, of parading high above the clouds, of mechanical automatons, and of grand tales of sorcery not many have had the chance to see themselves. Lumière Croft is a show magician in the middle borough of the city-state of Leiden- rather, an illusionist. A career liar. Responsible for making money to help out at the monastery he lives in, he can only curse the dreadful circumstances around him, and wish desperately that something would change. Although, that change is not always a good thing. Only when the shadows around him begin to creep, and when the sky grows burgeoning eyes, and when blood is spilled, does he find hope of fulfilling his wishes. To have sunlight, the world must be balanced with cruelty. To have power, one must lose their soul, humanity, morality, or sanity. One must ultimately balance the scales of their debt, or fall eternally to suffering, and have the scales corrected by force. This is the story of balance, of hope, and of the tragedy of a liar. —- “We’re all liars who pretend that the world is okay, and as liars we adopt philosophies and ideologies to cope with its cruelty. Because the world has hope, as long as we speak these lies loud enough, they’ll surely become true.” - Lumière Croft. --- Cover illustration done by @i_evuuu/Everest

Nighting Gale Online

Nighting Gale Online swept across the globe like a digital hurricane. This was a game that tantalized humanity with a tantalizing glimpse at quasi-immortality. Unrestrained and limitless, the game permitted players to do anything achievable in the physical world, and far beyond. Whether it was delving into magic, mastering sword-fighting, or even engaging in crime, there were no boundaries. Nighting Gale Online offered participants the chance to embark on a new life, where they were the masters of their own destiny. It was a tantalizing proposition: a second chance at life. Yet, for all its promise, the game bore unexpected consequences for one participant during the closed-beta testing at Gale Co.’s facility. Despite the assurances that the chance of death was infinitesimal, an unfortunate incident occurred. One of the million participants, while immersed in the Full Dive VR—essentially having their consciousness transplanted into a custom-created avatar within the game—did not merely transition into a coma-like state. They died. Lucas Young, a 21-year-old student at New York University, became both a fortunate and unfortunate statistic. Against astronomical odds, he had been selected as a beta tester. However, during the process of immersion into the Full Dive VR experience, he met an unforeseen fate. For reasons yet unknown, Lucas didn't enter the coma-like-state as expected; instead, he passed away. When Lucas next opened his eyes, the sight that greeted him was not the anticipated starting town. Instead, he found himself within an underwater kingdom, a grand realm populated by what seemed to be mermaids. "Welcome to Nighting Gale Online, Lucas Young. Please enjoy your journey in this new life." This was the first and final communication Lucas received from the Gale AI. "What the fuck...?" he muttered, his words echoing in the expansive aquatic landscape. Discord: https://discord.gg/UCgqa5FKbE

Alpha's Rejection: Luna's Awakening

After pregnant Elena gets accused of infidelity and gets rejected by Alpha Darius, she rejects and disappears from the Pack. Years later, Alpha Darius is invited to a party by the most feared Alpha, Alpha Killian. He sights Elena from afar, so different and more beautiful. Beside her is a young boy, agile, handsome and a photocopy of him. He walks up to Elena. "Long time no see, Elena." "Good day Darius. It's good to see you after so many years," she says with a smile. Alpha Darius looks at the boy beside her and smirks. "Is he my son?" Elena smiles and points to a very tall handsome man. "That's his father over there. He has organized this party because he wants to introduce our son to everyone as the Pack's heir." Follow the journey of Elena, a kind-hearted Luna initially chosen by Alpha Darius, who faces rejection and false accusations of infidelity. As she disappears from her pack and rises as Luna of the Silver Howl Pack, she transforms from a timid soul into a resilient force. *chapter 101 sneak peek "So, Elena," Sarah drawled, her voice dripping with venom. "Ready to cooperate yet? Ready to accept my son is the heir not yours?" I squared my shoulders, refusing to show any sign of weakness. "I and my son don't need a position in this Pack, Sarah. Justin doesn't want to be the heir of this Pack but it turns out everyone wants him to be the heir because he doesn't have an evil blood running through him," I declared defiantly. "And you'll never lay a hand on my son." Sarah's lips curled into a cruel smirk. "Oh, Elena, you're so naïve. And yes, what if my son has an evil blood, he'll never be unlucky as your son was and is," she taunted. "Do you really think you have any say in this? Your son is in my custody now, and you may never see him again." My heart sank at her words, but I refused to let despair consume me. "You'll regret this, Sarah," I warned, my voice trembling with rage. "If you lay a finger on my son, I'll make sure you pay for it. I'll hunt you down to the ends of the earth if I have to." Sarah's laughter filled the room, a chilling sound that sent shivers down my spine. "You think you can threaten me, Elena? I'm so so scared. Please don't hurt my son, Elena," she sneered. "You're nothing but a pawn in my game. And soon, you'll be nothing at all, just like your son." But I refused to back down, my determination unyielding. "Mark my words, Sarah," I spat, meeting her gaze with resolve. "You may think you hold all the cards now, but justice will catch up to you eventually. And when it does, you'll regret every moment you spent tormenting my son and me. I just warn you now, play stupid games with me but not with my son. Don't forget you have a son too. An eye for an eye." With that, Sarah's smirk faltered, replaced by a flicker of uncertainty. For a fleeting moment, I glimpsed a hint of fear in her eyes – a crack in her façade of invincibility. But just as quickly as it appeared, it was gone, replaced by a cold, steely resolve. "We'll see about that, Elena," she hissed, before slamming the door shut behind her, leaving me once again in the suffocating darkness of my captivity. As the minutes turned into hours, I clung to the flicker of hope burning within me, praying for the day when justice would prevail and my son would be safe in my arms once more. A man came into the room with a chain. "Hello missy, I have just got an order to torture you and also rape you," the man said heartlessly as he gave me a cold stare. "If I was you, I wouldn't do it. Only stupid people would," I sneered. "Trust me I'm the most stupid," and with that, he flung the chain and it collided with my arm. I screamed in pain. He began to unzip his trouser. "You look so beautiful. Can't wait to taste you." I wouldn't let him do this to me. No. Never. Just as the man advanced towards me, his intentions clear and my fear reaching a crescendo, the door suddenly burst open with a resounding crash.

RE-WRITING............. In the boundless 'nothingness' with no concept of time ever-existing, a soul was birthed. For the first time, the 'nothingness' experienced change. A soul with no consciousness and age lifelessly floated in the 'nothingness'. Suddenly it moved. It formed sentience. But, it was the soul of the 'nothingness'. It was nothing. But its sentience was something. So, the soul could not handle its sentience. So, it dispersed. Maybe due to its unwillingness, its body of nothingness fused with its sentience, forming the 'thing'. The 'thing' with the power to create. That 'thing' dispersed throughout the void. Since it could create, it could change. This change introduced a 'variable' that, being non-sentient and with no soul observed the void and recorded its change. This 'variable' always followed the change. Holding the power of creation and change, the 'thing' started to operate in a certain order. After an unknown period, the 'thing' perfected its order and transformed into an embryonic form of 'something'. The other 'thing' which were dispersed throughout the void sensed the order developed by the 'thing'. Then all the 'things' started moving in equivalent order, resonating with each other. Some 'things' were more concentrated, so they changed and formed 'something' together. Some 'things' were alone so they changed alone and formed 'something' alone. After a long period, the first 'something' started becoming more and more perfect. Then ultimately, it gave birth to 'soul'. The other 'something' followed suit. Eventually, some of the 'something' could not change anymore. After a long time, all of the 'something' started changing inwards forming two realms and many 'souls' within themself. Still, all the lives were only souls. Then, all the 'something', in their final push of perfection formed 'matter'. Suddenly, in the countless 'something', the souls fused with the matter and started getting sentient. Thus, 'life' was created. Later, those 'life' named the 'nothingness', a 'void'; the 'thing', a 'creation qi'; the 'variable', a 'time'; and the 'something', a 'universe'. ...................................................................................................................... This is a story of a young man, reincarnated in a cultivation world. Watch him walk on the cultivation journey geared with the strongest cultivation technique ever created in his universe. One day he will look up to the sky and give the greatest wisdom to mankind. "Systems are for weak." As his sentence completes, heaven shall bow down to him. ... And someday later, he will regret saying it. ..................................................................................................................... Starting from volume two, this novel will be a bit slow-moving. Even if it is a bit slow, it is short and there is fun! So, Follow me on this long journey of cultivation. Well, there maybe be some grammatical error. So, bear with it. p.s. the picture is not mine.

Hmm.. Where do I start? 😂Author pretty much has everything down. A few chapters revealed that much. Unlike a lot of low quality books on the app, I can honestly say this was well planned out and written. MC is very relatable and not a simp in any way. Chapter length is also impressing (satisfyingly long) with very little grammar issues. Gotta hand it to the author. Although, I must warn you. the narration can get boring at times but it's most time captivating. Pay close attention or else you won't understand what's going on. I'll leave a more detailed review later on. The novel is just starting but it's potential can't be ignored. Keep it up Author

The prose of this work is phenomenal, and very uncommon in Webnovel because of how much its dominated by 'fastfood novels' that are catered for people who prefer fast-paced easy-to-read books. If you're a fan of this slowburn, intricate writing style, I highly recommend checking this out. I really like the steampunk vibe going on, with the setting being post-Industrial era and all the fascinations for magicians and illusionists. Lumiere is also an interesting main character because he's a bit more contemplative than most MCs in ML novels. It's interesting to see his inner conflicts and relationships with other characters.Overall, it's a very unique read and I recommend checking it out!

The standout feature of this novel is undoubtedly its writing style. The author has a talent for crafting intricate sentences that captivate the reader. While the initial pacing may be a bit slow, the story gradually evolves into an engaging and enjoyable read. Another highlight of the novel is the protagonist, who sets himself apart from the typical fantasy main characters by displaying a rare sense of self-awareness often absent in other novels of the genre.

overall decent but needs patience as it is a bit of a slow burner. nice work author, i can tell you put a lot of effort into it. the pacing is a bit slow to my liking, a lot of dialogue and internal confusion going on, but the writing is good and up to chapter three i was entertained. would recommend!

In the beginning it was church now it jump to exploring the universe which then leads to a crowd of side characters gathered together, the MC isn't really introduced all that much, the only thing we know is his name A beauty introduced into first chapter but its not a "jade" beauty along with a lot of inspiration from other works it can engage a reader who isn't all that curious and want to waste time. Even the outlines of bolding words, exclamation points (!) actually feel like we're inside the author creation. Although the mona building isn't really describe how big it is until a few chapters later. I would say as someone who spent the first few chapters reading it can really engage you to a world of likable fantasy. Some scenes like magician ones could using clapping to draw attention of the background character in front of them or those around them when they're yelling/scolding others for mistakes However in chapter two there is 2 random bolded texts that were suppose to be inaudible, what is this about? In chapter 3, romance is in the works. This kind of engages more plotline depends on how you view/build it I like how you introduced assassins who hide with cloaks on. I get your trying to switch povs a lot, I think labeling that pov from side pov to MC pov may be a good idea to not confuse readers Other than the first few chapters in, you are doing well so for on your novel.
