GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions known. Thank you.

Talent Awakening: Draconic Overlord Of The Apocalypse

"Level up? Dragons?" Eighteen. The age of Awakening. An important moment where every human in the desolate maga-cities unlocks their Talent, a unique ability to carve a path in this monster-plagued apocalyptic world. Alister Hazenworth, a graduating student, and a rising star at the prestigious Aegis Academy, was destined for greatness. His exceptional athleticism and magical aptitude promise a powerful Talent – a guarantee for a secure life and social status. But fate had different plans. During Alister's Awakening ceremony, it's revealed that he's a Summoner. Instead of admiration, he faces mockery. His once bright future turns bleak as his "friends" desert him for Talents they see as more "useful." left alone, Alister awakens a system. [Host found, system binding...] [System binded successfully.] [Congrats, you have gain the status of 'player'.] [Ding!! Congrats to the player for awakening The Dragonforge - an overlord system.] [Ding!! it has been detected that the player possesses a latent draconic aspect, and as such will only be able to summon dragons!!] [Will the player like to proceed with their first summoning?] Cast aside and underestimated, Alister becomes a force to be reckoned with. He embarks on a journey, building his own dragon army – a crew of majestic wyverns, fearsome drakes, and ancient wyrms. He raids the wastelands, reclaims lost resources, and dismantles the prejudice against summoners. Every day, his power grows, his bond with his dragons deepens, and his legend spreads like wildfire. [A/N: This is a slow paced novel, don't expect the protagonist to suddenly start out overpowered and start dominating left and right, he will become an overlord of dragons, yes, but it will take time.

RUC tells the story of Hao Ren, an everyday good guy living in China. One day, he decides to rent out the rooms in his apartment for some extra income. When his ad gets answered, he finds that his tenants are more than what they appear to be. The translation quality is satisfactory and the use of English is fairly good. However, this I believe will continue to be improved on for a better reading experience. Chapters are also released regularly every week. The current rate is at 11 chapters and this may increase in the future. RUC's plot develops at a steady pace; not too fast and not too slow. New characters are introduced during key points of the story so it's easy to follow. The premise is similar to many fantasy/adventure anime's where the protagonist happens along new comrades as he gets himself involved in various scenarios. Think One Piece but instead of pirates, you have your classic monsters, creatures and cryptids of all sorts. Sometimes, when reading a Chinese novel, you may find an issue where the author tends to repeat certain details again and again throughout the story. This rarely happens in this narrative. As for its characters, they are pretty common when it comes to the fantasy genre. There's the standard vampire, werewolf, demons and etc. However what sets them apart are their weird quirks and personalities. This adds to the humour in the story. It'll be interesting to see how the ensemble of characters continue to grow and what unusual creature will be added next. No fantasy novel is incomplete without its own world or world's in this case. The characters' adventures take them to various places on Earth and also out of Earth. Here we can see them travel into what looks like outer space. This gives it a Star-Trek like vibe so you have a mash of fantasy and sci-fi at some points of the story. It's an odd combination. On one hand you're dealing with creatures from the Victorian Era or even older and on the other, you're dealing with beings of supposedly higher order, which seem very similar to aliens. Readers will either like how different it is or find it absurd. One will have to read the novel to truly decide.

I did not expect this because i am cheering for the other Hao Ren character on another novel. This is the first time i provided 2 reviews on a book and may do more. First it started as gathering several tenants or supernatural misfits. What's interesting is you have werewolves, vampires, demons. Eh pretty natural as you say, then you have a siren, a mermaid, supernatural people, practically immortals. Then elves, dragons and everything that you can find in an mmorpg. The next thing you know you have the mythological gods, giants and that sort of thing, the best thing of all an AI brick. MDT is one of the characters that i think got whacked in the brain and very fitting to be Hao Ren's personal device. It's a kind of slice of life-ish with plot details that attributes on the main plot line. I really loved the evacuation and it picked up. At times i feel detached and be an observer like Hao Ren who stays true to himself, i feel he is no longer human after the first part but a really fitting MC for this. He is not a pervert and no racist stuff here which is very refreshing (this is one of the 3 novels that have no racism on another's ethnicity that i have read). The guy had been to Britain, Greece, Russia and South America because of his work but it goes to show that there are far more things that have been at work to dawdle on ethnicity which the author had highlighted. At one point, because there are larger than humanity experiences, i think its kinda lovecraftian in a way but 100 times more happier (definitely happier than the trading club novel). Because humans are not alone in this world which author points out and life, life always has a way as the author portrayed in several survivals of the civilizations. Congratulations on reaching 1000 chapters and to translator, i feel my spirit stones are in your good hands. Keep it up!
