Shatter the Bad Ending!

[Restore The Crown] This was the novel that I was tasked to review as a contestant for our yearly webnovel event and as someone who had to probably read hundreds of novels by now. It was utter garbage, it was full of overdone tropes and cliches that you could have seen from a mile away. A bland and mary sue protagonist ✓ A list of heroines who fall in love and become obsessed with the protagonist instantly ✓ A myriad of villains who have no other personality other than to hate and try to kill the protagonist ✓ They were all there. Except for the surprisingly catchy title, there was no other positive thing about this novel. But was pissed me off the most was the ending. With no build-up and seemingly out of nowhere, most of the heroines were killed and the world that they lived in became hell on earth. It was literally revealed in a couple of chapters and was clearly done just to shock the readers. Honestly, I wish I could restore the time I wasted reading this novel. But as I said my criticism to the author. The f*cker shot me in the head! (I proofread my chapters by myself, sadly I am only human, so if you find any mistakes, kindly point them out and I will fix them as soon as possible) (This is my first attempt at writing novels, to those who keep on reading despite the occasional mistakes here and there, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and I will promise to be a better author, anyways have a nice day and please never build galeforce on twitch, if you do, you don't deserve 8 hours of sleep, that is all, thank you)

The Polished Present (2)

With an indifferent expression on his face, Troi looked through the glass window of the transit as it rumbled its way through the academy.

From a glance, he looked deep in thought as he sat on the steel seat while fiddling a seemingly normal object with his right hand. 

Gwen stared at the man lost in thought.

Hair barely groomed and deep-sunken eyes. 

It was clear he did not have an ounce of a good night's sleep. 

'Just how traumatized he could be?' 

Gwen thought to herself as even her voice could not snap Troi out of his mind. 

So she opened her mouth to try again.

"Hello?" 

Yet for the second time, the brown eyes of the man did not gaze away from the window.

She felt quite troubled.

'Maybe, it's quite rude of me to ask him about the event' 

Gwen wanted more details about the article she read last night while lying in her soft bed.

Two assassins of equal strength were able to infiltrate and decimate the security of the Coldfeathers then fought viciously in the great hall.

There were a lot of nobles who were caught in the middle but surprisingly not a single one died.

It seemed the strength of the coldfeathers did not melt away in time.

Gwen normally did not care about these types of things, but a small section of the article piqued her interest. 

"It was reported that the assassin who called himself 'The Unseen Threat' reportedly wielded a type of pistol an armament from the past" 

'He wielded a gun?' 

Gwen was left confused and a little bit shocked. 

So she tried to get more information. 

She stayed way past her bedtime to read the countless articles about it yet she still wasn't satisfied. 

There was a lot of information about the other assassin. 

A girl in her 20s with black hair and blue eyes cloaked in grey with black tendrils and the ability to turn invisible. 

Every piece of information about the Traceless Terror was revealed. 

Yet the one shrouded in black and wore a metal mask. 

Finding information about him was like looking at a needle in a haystack. 

'Did the coldfeathers hide information about him?' 

'If that is the case why?" 

Gwen thought about that possibility and the more she did the more she got confused. 

Revealing information about an assassin was one of the ways to make his/her job harder and make it much easier for them to be captured and dealt with.

Gwen scratched her head, 

'They clearly did that with the Traceless Terror'

But for the Unseen Threat. 

The only information that got out was that he was a man who wore a metal mask with a black trenchcoat and apparently wielded a gun.

'Was that assassin one of theirs?'

That was the only conclusion she had made. 

For there was no other reason for them to deliberately hide him from the public.

Her mind then wandered to her younger years.

Nobles from other families.

They used guns as a way for them to be noticed by her as a rumor that she was interested in them got out.

But none truly caught her interest as not even a single one of them could apply their auras or mana towards them.

But that assassin who wore a metal mask was able to fight toe to toe with the Traceless Terror.

'He must be able to apply aura or mana to a gun'

Her family tried their best to cover up the rumor that the firstborn of the Lynines had an obsession with guns.

But apparently, her family did not do a good job as that rumor is still alive as she remembered a dark-skinned man from her class who tried to do the same.

'I think his name started with T?' 

She then shook her head to try to forget about that man but,

'Didn't he and Wyatt attend that party?'

'I'll try to ask him tomorrow,"

That was the last thing Gwen said before letting the sweet embrace of slumber hold her.

But now in the present, she started to regret her decision to approach him as she noticed how unsettled he looked.

But the silver-haired girl did not know that Troi was more traumatized by what was happening in the present than what happened in the past. 

'I WASN'T IMAGINING THINGS.'

'I WASN'T IMAGINING THINGS.'

'I WASN'T IMAGINING THINGS.'

Gwen let out a sigh but then her eyes widened. 

The object that he was fiddling with was something she was familiar with. 

It was small and made of copper.

A thing that was only used in the weapons of the old. 

It was a bullet. 

Yet one of her eyebrows then were raised as she noticed it had no more casings in it. 

Indicating it had already been fired.

But before she could examine it much further. 

Troi put it in one of his pockets and turned his gaze to her. 

Troi who had no other choice was forced to use his skill [Mind of a Murderer] to calm his emotions. 

"Oh, Hi," 

As Gwen got a clearer look on his face. 

She started to regret her decision. 

Beneath those brown eyes was that of someone who had no emotions. 

No, that was the eyes of someone who didn't want to feel anything. 

'Just how deeply traumatized he was...." 

She then shook her head. 

She was curious about what happened that night.

But she wasn't willing for a person to remember something he wanted to forget just to satisfy her curiosity. 

"No, nothing, forget that I asked," 

She then started to walk to the back of the transit. 

And sat on one of the steel seats.
