Writing style needs more practise, but good for a first story. Intiriguing story. Just reading for the plot but if in the future author decides to rewrite it and fix some stuff, will be first to read again.

overall, it's a good story with many redeeming points that others focused on (thus my rating of above 4). There is one thing though that I hope the author can work on improving, and that is the pace of the story! the main character is op in every aspect (cultivation speed at least 3x of others, talent, op mana control/absorption, resources, teachers ...) except his abysimal starting point, yet by chapter 200 he still didn't reach the starting point of his friend who was in a backwater island. how you may ask ? it's because of the horrible pace. in 200 chapters there are less than 200 days elapsed in story time! in order to keep the mc as the underdog (since the mc will exceed most his local peers in months) author decided to cram many events in a short timeline which in my opinion is a horrible decision. the story had/has a lot of potential, there is the survival within man kind, the exploration of other continents taken by other races, the exploration of the rifts, exploration of other planets .... yet by chapter 200 we are still at starting point with mc barely at begining of the 2nd realm. (please note human race has at least 6~7 realms and they are a weak/young race in the setting of the story. His friend was a this realm by the time of the awakening...) I have seen many stories that get abandoned by authors or get dropped by too many readers because author keeps the story in early game which makes it boring. I wish new authors would target stories to be finished by few hundred chapters instead of thousands. so author if you read this, please pick up the pace. we don't need every day of the main character to be a chapter and certainly not dragging early realms over hundred of chapters otherwise you will either lose your motivation/inspiration or your readers (which ever comes first). also there is no need to make it repetitive, too much of any trope kills a story. you wrote several arcs of mc being underdog, you can spice it up by adding arcs where he explores (no pressure against intelligent peers) arcs where he dominates, arcs where he keeps low profile and hides his assets, arcs where he hides and is hunted, arcs where he focuses on side jobs, romance.... choices are countless ps: this is not to undermine the story, its merely my opinion in what could have made this a master piece. peace
It's a pretty good novel. I specially like the fact that main characters powers is related to eyes which is pretty unique since MC with powers dedicated to eyes only is very rare and most of them are not well made. If there is one thing I am not satisfied with that would be the fact that he is naive and why the hell is he so nice with Greg's parents why did he cried so easily. I mean it makes no sense that he is a cry baby when he lived pretty much all his life in pain and agony. Author I think it would be good if MC is somewhat like the main character of "LUCIFERS DESENDENT". Keep up the good work. Other than MC being naive I like everything else.
From what I’ve read so far, the general story is interesting and the various power systems are balanced and reasonable, but the writing in general is sort of sub-par. I’m not too sure if the writing quality for the first 50-100 chapters or so carry over into the rest of the story, but the author’s general “flow” of words is a bit awkward. If it wasn’t for my love of these types of books, I would’ve dropped it in the first 5 or 10 chapters. The characters are 2-dimensional. As an example, Malia. The way the author portrays her initally is someone who has a dislike of Jason because of the Soulbond Greg did. But after their eyes meet, she does a 180 and immediately has a positive impression of Jason? Just that part is cliche. I don’t usually keep up to date with updates of any webnovel, so I just rated it five stars. The worldbuilding is great. It’s easy to visualize and understand, but also can be too easy sometimes, even disregarding the show, not tell rule. Finally, the storytelling. I have a positive outlook on any books that involve magical animals and getting stronger through your own means. The story is the defining feature as to why I like this story so much. Minor criticisms here, but some of the decisions Jason decides to make are illogical. I’m not sure if it’s because the author just slipped up there or if he’s trying to portray the fact he has to do things no normal adult would do as a thirteen/fourteen year old. 4 stars. Keeps me from sinking into quarantine boredom. Will update in the future if needed.
Honestly this is ome of the better novels on this site alrhough the main character can be quite annoying one of the biggest problems i have is how stupid and naive the mc is sometimes. Also there seems to be no character development when it comes to this forced stupidity. One thing that constantly happens all throughout the story is how the mc “subconsciously mumbles” or “blurts out” whatever he thinks. Its very annoying that the author always talks about how smart he is and how his brain is being refined but yet always makes it so something simple like not speaking out loud is impossible. Also later on theres a lot of “little did he know blah blah blah” which takes away from the suspense and shock it would have otherwise. Another thing is that he had a gut feeling something bad was going to happen but still let people convinve him to go through with the plan, later on when he says to listen to his gut it happens again and he leaves his masters without staying or bringing them along.
The story is written very nicely, not a lot of mistakes. The update is great. The story itself is simply boring. The author tried to make it a Xianxia novel and all is ok but its so boring that I spend more time scrolling over then reading it. The mc is a genius or an idiot. There is no middle ground. He doesn’t behave like a beta, but he doesn’t have his all flavor. Simply the story would be the same even if he is bot there. World background is clearly thought through by the author, only the cultivation system for me is too complicated. Overall it’s not bad, but only nice if you really, really, really don’t have anything else to read.
Author keeps giving spoilers for what will happen next. Why would any sane person do that? It ruins the reading experience and immersion! Something like "Jason went to the bath. What he didn't not know, is that he will die a horrible death tomorrow! Also, Dumbledore dies!". Almost every chapter ends like this where I'm currently reading. Do not reveal information that we should not know, it's as simple as that! There are many better ways to give reader a hint, than throwing spoilers in their faces. A great story other than that.
I love this novel, the author has put in a LOT of effort into this, also the fact he has stated that English is not his first language. He's not only written one but TWO novels in a different language, and has maintained consistency in uploading. Yes there are some minor grammar/spelling mistakes, but honestly very easy to look past in the grand scheme of things. The character development is good, with unexpected twists and turns. I won't say any spoilers, but I personally feel it is worth the read, and the coins.
I'm at around 120 chapters in right now, and I can say I am, overall, satisfied with this book, but there are a few issues. Some people say the development has been slow up to this point, but I am okay with the current speed, and it seems to be picking up slightly. The world background still leaves some to be desired, but you can't expect too much at only 120 chapters, so that is fine. Now onto the most significant issue. The most painfully obvious issue I and many others seem to have is how naive and hypocritical the MC is at times. Honestly, I can mostly get past the naive part considering that he is 14, and you really can't expect a cold and ruthless child even though he has been through some stuff. That being said, him being a hypocrite is an entirely different issue and is quickly making me dislike his character. Whether it's topics of greed, how to treat beasts, how to treat other people, etc., the MC will see others in a negative light for doing something one way and then proceed to do very nearly or the exact same thing and be 100% fine with it. If you want to give this novel a try, it's pretty good, and there aren't a TON of hypocritical parts (there are still a lot though), so I would say it's worth the try. All I can hope is that he gets some MAJOR life lessons or character progression soon.
those lines about the protagonist being a smart pansy and the rest of others are dumb as a log just to highlight him is really hard to read,it is too extreme and to be honest cringe.When he himself doesn't act that smart or mature The narrative is not that good with a lot of unnecessary immature cursing at random things.But the plot is nice and I liked most of the support character
I had to come back and review this again. I dropped it at first since the beginning is cringe and author says mc is young and naive. I decided to keep reading since I like the concept and want it to be good. I'm not +355 chapters in and my thoughts have changed but not much The writing quality gets better the more you read. Still errors here and there but you can tell the progression. The story still moves really slow in my opinion. Author says he's supposed to be young and naive and will grow through the story but either this will be an absurdly long novel or there will be a major time skip I haven't gotten to. A lot of the time his nativity comes across as stupidity instead in my opinion. Esp after multiple tradegies and supposed growth he's still as "naive" as the beginning of the story (but the plot armor is strong in this one). Still a lot of cringe moments that make it a frustrating story to read. With that said I will probably keep reading or come back to it at some point bc the concepts in the story show the author's imagination and I like the story, just the execution bugs me..a lot. But I think there's a lot of potential. Some people don't mind the things that bother me so I encourage you to try reading.
