Hello. 🙂
Hmm, there isn't much to say that other people haven't.
In my eyes, this book was amazing. Sure, there were a few bumps along the way, but they were almost negligible. I'm not great at constructive criticism, and tbh, I couldn't really find anything wrong with this book- but mabye that's just my opinion. I know that this wouldn't really help, though.
I found this book yesterday, read it for a few hours but had to stop due to some circumstances, and continued reading this morning. And let me tell you, I would've happily given up my sleep reading this book if I could.
After a year or two of reading webnovels (which might seem short to some people, but to me it feels like a long time, especially with all the different stories you can read in that time) I noticed that reading wasn't that entertaining anymore. I read to escape, but when you were escaping into different worlds that were repetitive and boring, it just lost whatever appeal and colour it used to have- and seemed more like a chore than entertainment.
But it's books like these that help bring a little bit of luster back into he experience. If someone asked me what help set this book apart from the rest, I don't think I would be able to give a proper answer.
Maybe it's an MC who, might be little dense and inexperienced at the start, but grows along the way? But there are quite a few protagonists like that. Maybe it's the way how the reader could see that growth along with the character's thought process and goals. I like how John didn't know what to do at the beginning, and slowly widened his vision- as you don't see that much, or you don't get to observe and enjoy it in most books.
The side characters were not shallow -they had their own thoughts, opinions and motives as well. They weren't just there as pawns for the story development or to help the MC in times of need. Of course, it might seem a little forced at times, but there was a reason for everything the the characters did, even if it isn't that clear.
The story so flowed nicely. Hell, the timeskips in this book are some of the best I've ever seen. It isn't just a quick recap after a sudden timeskip that came out of nowhere. I also didn't notice any serious grammar mistakes, but maybe they were fixed by the author.
Oh right, the Author is fantastic. I've seen some interactive author's before, but none as good as this. Also, while I don't know how much effort other authors have put into their books, you can see how much went into this (though mabye I would've been oblivious to this if the author didn't mention it. 😅 But it's nice to see the author's thoughts, helps you feel more connected to the book).
One thing that wasn't that good, that other people have mentioned as well- the synopsis. Gotta be honest, it wasn't great. I won't go into detail since so many other people already have, just that the synopsis is one of the deciding factors that decides whether a potential reader will read the book, or not.
I'm sure there's more I could say, but... I think I'm stunned by the quality of this book that the only thing running through my head is that this book is amazing. I'll be anxiously awaiting new chapters, and in the meanwhile I'll see if the author's other book has started, along with offering a powerstone of mine every single day (unless, for whatever reason I can't ) to this book.
It deserves so much more attention and readers than it currently has. The only reason I found this jem was because it was on the featured section!
