(Currently 150 chapters in) Going into this story what caught my eye was the fact the main character was blind and the description of curses being a source of power. After starting the story with the initial intrigue I fell in love with the character, how he developed, how the people around him also developed and felt alive. The part I loved the most about the character development was how the author took his time with turning the disability of being blind and it slowly becoming an advantage (like dare devil where although blind, he can see more than those with their sight - really cool). This provided a lot of depth to the story in which the world building - piece by piece becomes more intriguing, complex and amazing. Overall this is one of my favorite novels, and if the quality stays the same as it goes further it can definitely take a top spot on this site. (Only thing I could ask for as a reader is more chaps lol) Top tier ✌🏻😁

HideousGrain's novels never disappoint, instead keeps you hooked and hooked until the day the story ends. Great writing style, characters that aren't made of cardboard boxes and dialogue's that bring life to MC and everyone around him. Good luck for WSA 2022! (Even though you probably don't need any)
104 chapter's done, dropping now. Reason, simple it's too slow whatever other minor spoilers i still read through them but slow story development is good but 100 chapters and still being too week and no world history etc is a bit too much. It's not like i hate it, i do read slow novels but rarely as they make me feel depressed so to those who wanna read this do read it, it's a good novel so far. Mc is blind, meets a goddess, awakens his mana core at late age but still becomes powerful enough to be considered equal to normal similar age persons, Binds a curse which give him many benefits instead of disadvantages. his sister and parents gets kidnapped by powerful peoples. Read for more explained story.
I wanted to read more before reviewing but I felt like letting out my complaints. I initially saw someone else in the review section complaining about the coincidences being too much in the novel and unrealistic. I for one don't really like novels that coincidences happen regularly in an unrealistic manner especially in favour of the MC. Except there's a special reason why. For instance in Shadow slave, one of MCs ability is "Fated" which causes him to find himself in either the worst or best of situations randomly. Even that isn't done in an annoying way. But, in this case here just from the beginning things are already landing in his laps. Immediately after awakening, three days later or so a dungeon opened in his house. I felt at least there'll be danger. But, no it's a slime monsters dungeon. And lo and behold the association allows keeping or selling of dungeons. He explained that If the dungeon has an outbreak, the family would be responsible if they choose to own it but that feels unnecessary because if there's an outbreak the family would likely be killed and suffer no repercussion. Nd letting people randomly keep dungeons serves as more of a risk Nd losing in the rewards of dungeons. Although the lady that told him all these was planning to use her power to seduce him to sell it off, I still find it unnecessary because generally the association should try and manage dungeons that appear within their jurisdiction better than that. Then the worst part of this is that this guy started killing the slimes off like very easily. This is someone who has been blind since 3 years old. Author made excuse of him training himself how to stab with pipes Nd spear while blind but I don't buy that. To be fair, author tried to repeatedly say the slimes were weak and slightly stronger normal humans could win but MC slaughtered all of them like it was a usual morning routine and I barely saw him struggle since he was doing everything almost perfectly. I even thought he'll at least get injured from the boss slime to reign his pride down a bit or make it seem a bit believable but no he in fact broke his limit and used mana reinforcement to win. MC didn't suffer a scratch on his first dungeon fight as a blind person who barely started "seeing" that same day through mana perception that only reaches a metre radius.
Read up to Chapter 150. Fairly average read suited more for younger audiences. Other than the MC having the standard mary sue tropes of automatically having everyone like him and constantly falling face first into opportunities there is nothing particularly wrong with this novel. The writing is average, the combat, story, adventure, world it's all very average standard stuff. Don't expect to be enthralled and unable to put it down. But you're not going to be annoyed you immediately trash it either.
I can't believe that you're the same author for undying warlord as well, that novel has loads of action, good story and everything, I'm not saying that this novel isn't good, out I wouldn't have reached ch106 😅 but author why does so many paragraphs repeat the same content? over and over again? it's so frustrating! If you accept critique I would like to say it needs more 'direct' words to it, thoughts and inner monologue are ok but the repeating content frustrated me so much 😭 other than that everything is lovely 👍 p.s I love undying warlord
In my opinion, this is the best novels I wrote until now. I cannot vouch that everyone will like it but I'm pretty sure that the majority of readers will learn to love this books, the characters and the authors(definitely no bragging) If questions occur, you can find a discord link in my profile.

Verry good. I haven’t read anything yet, but this is in the depths of my library. The only reason why I haven’t read this is because Nial looks like a freakin middle aged man in the cover. Idk why, but he’s like- 15 isn’t he?! That’s outrageous for a 15 year old to look like a 30 year old! It’s really baffling to me + I don’t really like old MCs unless it’s for a transmigration/reincarnation/anything relating to being reborn/transported/being younger.
