I discovered this book on a lazy Friday afternoon, in which I had just finished reading one of the greatest works on this site. However, once I read the first line from esteemed author Crucruel, I was completely taken aback.
It would be an understatement to say that this novel--no, this work of art--is truly a masterpiece, one of the finest novels on this site.
Following the path of the protagonist, Zen Su (Kim Joon-won), the readers are thrown into a finely developed world. Not only does this novel bring a new, fresh approach to the rebirth sub-genre, but the unique ideas brought within the words truly enlighten any reader who picks up this masterpiece.
In particular, the focus of the duality of mankind and the consequences that an individual must be put through in times of stress exemplify some of the greatest philosophical beliefs that Mr. Crucruel is quite renowned for. Furthermore, the method by which these words are written and knitted together into a complex web of beautiful writing demonstrate Mr. Crucruel's profound knowledge and experience in the writing industry.
It is quite rare for me to discover a work that truly speaks to my heart and soul, and for me to have the capability to lay my eyes on this blessed work is something that I cannot describe my gratitude for.
Despite the fact that there are only twelve chapters published up to date, these mere twelve chapters are enough to capture the attention of any reader. If one may be in the debate of whether or not to choose to continue with this novel, it is highly recommended that one reads up to date before creating such a decision. This piece of artwork is something that I can sincerely call life-changing, so a decision should be carefully made if it comes to this point.
Also, before the end of the review, I would like to note my absolute fervor for the second leading male character, A'mu, and the cloud of mystery that surrounds him. I do hope that Mr. Crucruel decides to add in more scenes of said leading character, other than the protagonist Zen Su.
Overall, regardless, I would rate this novel much higher than five stars if possible, yet that is beyond the limits of this site. And similarly, perhaps this is the way that I describe the true quality of this novel. It is beyond the limits of this site, beyond the limits of writing. It is truly an absolute work of art.
