Reviews of The Oracle Paths

This is a great novel that deserves more recognition. I don’t like the concept of systems because it promotes lazy writing, giving authors an excuse to get away with plot holes by using an AI cheat device. This novel is intriguing enough that I can let it slide. I feel that this novel should be in the top 10, it’s a lot better than the #1 rank My Vampire System. I am currently 175 chapters in, and so far the writing quality is above average. You get a good sense of what the world looks like thru the vivid descriptions, without being verbose. No glaring spelling/grammar mistakes. I read other reviewers saying that author corrects any spelling and grammar mistakes, which is probably why I didn’t find any. Author pays attention to writing quality and it shows. The pace is a bit slow, but good novels take time to mature. World development is excellent and the concept is very interesting; random chunks of many different worlds are snatched up by an all powerful entity and stitched together to form a single universe, complete with all types of human and alien species and ecosystems. The new inhabitants of this world become players in what seems like a ‘survival of the fittest’ type game, every entity having an oracle system that predicts the future and guides them upon their chosen path. But it seems there isn’t just one of these worlds, there are many, each with their own ‘boss’. Not much is revealed yet, but judging from the story so far, I see great potential. Character development is good so far. The characters actually evolve (not just the MC), and they learn from their mistakes and constantly improve themselves (or die). The character interactions aren’t forced and seem realistic enough, each character has a distinct personality and their own motives. This is a refreshing change from the usual dumb robotic characters you see in other system novels. Even the system itself could possibly show up as as real characters later on. I don’t factor stability updates into my ratings, I understand that quality novels take time to write. I rather the author release 1 chapter a day of good quality writing instead of pumping out trash.

Man, this book is amazing! It gave not one but two freaking chills by chapter 17! My gosh that freaked me out. Anyway, great book and idea.

Reveal spoiler

this novel is good but the the things that make it annoying are 1. the chapter release rate is too slow for a novel this good, most people like me will leave this novel for months to stack chapters and read, I believe that will affect the authors monthly income from the novel. 2. the unecessary switching of POVs , there are alot of times the point of view switches to a side character who is very unimportant to the story and will not be mentioned again, the author just tired to fill up word count and trust me alot times readers don't care for what the other side characters are doing, MC is in a pinch and you leave us hanging for 10 chapters to read about a side character we don't care about, it just makes us skip chapters and I'm not willing to waste money on them. 3. The roller coaster Jake and his team always go through right after every single powerup Jake gets beaten and thrashed, he never gets to even show the full.extent of his new abilities , sure he still wins some how in the end but the fact that I have to be excited today about his power up and watch him get beaten like a trash bag the next day makes this novel frustrating to read. Author needs to find a balance, sure there's always bigger fish but that doesn't mean you can't let the author shine amongst peers of similar levels. something else I'd just like to add. The author adds unecessary descriptions I can't only see as trying to fill word counts it's not much of a problem but then it only makes the chapter more lackluster

This novel was so good I created a webnovel account just so I can read more. Anyway slow start but it shows the emotions of what a real person would do and built up from there. Good system not like some where all stats are equal but some worth more than others because it’s true some stats are harder to raise and better than others. Great world building he shows rather than tells which is in my opinion the right way because if the character did not know about something why should we know about it. Cliff hangers well the author knows when it’s good or bad to put them in like he did near the ending of the first ordeal (you will know when you there) but he didn’t just post a chapter he waited a extra day then posted both in one day much better than some authors that don’t care about our feelings :) Character development well all I have to say is it’s the best I’ve seen other except when he got his first kill in the (you will know when you get there) and touched (it) it kind of felt forced so that Jake could become bolder but it was alright. Plot well become stronger so you can become lazy (yeah lazy you will understand if you read the first volume). Grammar well better than most I’ve seen and I’ve seen a lot so don’t worry about grammar messing with the story. Anyway just wanted to leave this review for my favorite author and book I haven’t seen such a good book that I even created a webnovel account just to read it (didn’t even do that for birth of the demonic sword). Well good day folks and jolly ho thank for reading this review.

I am really enjoying this novel. It is mostly unique and the world building and the characters are enjoyable! The secondary characters seem to be more developed than the MC unfortunately but its not that bad. No romance yet(as of chapter 56) but there is a potential girl.

This novel is not really that good as otherothers described most of the comments is fake Plot? Quite Bad Writing quality? quitquite good Character design? It was good at first but when ruby came in (female lead) the novel turned more bad. World backbackground ? Good but the problem is this novel is so slow in 300 plus chapter he was still in red cube tower and in still stage (3) it was so slow and full of unnecessary info and the author just put unnecessary information so the words chapter will be long. this novel is boring I promise you that in 1st chapter to 25 chapter iis good to me when he was still on earth I really like the way mmc handle situations and there was not much unnecessary information and was not boring compared to 80 plus chapters. this is bad novel or maybe newbie may reader should read it with months reading novel,manhua,manga blah blah

Story is friggin AMAZING. I’m always waiting for new uploads to insta read but that’s the only problem with the novel, IM ALWAYS WAITING. So much potential I just hope the author uploades more

Arkinslize, i'm writing this review because me and 99% of your fans can't access and read you latest chapters now .. yes we are your empty pocket, poor and non paying fans. Webnovel's latest changes removed the daily fast passes, this probably has increased your sales by a certain margin, but in return it shunned out the majority of your readers, this in my opinion would do you more harm than good, because i believe that the people who are paying will always pay, while the people who can't pay will never pay, so these tactics only serve to harm your popularity and followings .. this problem is easily solvable if you decided to leak your late chapters, not the latest, just keep like 20 privileged chapters ahead of the leaked chapters, or 30 it's up to you, this way you will not lose readers and it will not affect your revenu either. Please consider it, we all love your novel so much.

I think the novel is pretty good, the story is moving smoothly, but there are some things that I noticed. The way characters are developed is very miniscule, most characters are simply there with no motive or background, even some of the mc's close friends are lacking in mindsets. I'm not asking for a 200 chapter arc that develops these characters but a one man short story that develops the character and allows an interests in them. The ordeals are well done, but the exploration on B842 is lacking. That's quite scary considering that B842 is the main planet that MC lives on and seems to be a point of interest that will stay for the novel. That might change as we go through the novel. Interesting story though. *Spoilers Ahead* Not a fan of this Kyle's sister arc though. Bhuzkec is developing into a main villain of the arc but I just abhore reading about him. Like as an interesting villain, he just isn't fun or unique to read about. I hope he doesn't live longer than the arc and that Kyle's sister isn't a victim of Stockholm Syndrome as I think she might be.

It is a high quality novel. Everything makes sense. .The future prospects are exciting. . The scale is grand. The story is best. There ia much more to anticipate. Author, please keep updating the novel.

One of the best stories I have read on this platform regarding of original and translated, worthy of being in top 10, realistic characters, good world-building and writing quality. Worthy of a good read, hope that other readers also pick it up

Can anyone tell me why the author is not updating for so many days?

It hurts my heart when I go to the rankings just to see how low this novel is ranked, everything else besides this authors work I have ever tried to read hurts my brain if there was a way to make other readers to give it a try am sure it would skyrocket to the very top of the rankings.. Keep it up author you will surely reach the top one day 👍

Everything about the story is good except the fmc. It's literally anther Sarah from tower of God, maybe worst. I usually don't read novels if romance isn't involved, but good lord, I wish there was no romance at all in this novel because it's absolutely the worst part about it. Everything else is 5+star quality but the force fmc. If you look at the chapter comments, you constantly see comments like, trust the author, there's a reason, blah blah blah. After like 600 chapters there has been no reason for the readers to like the fmc, it's hard to even read the current ordeal cause she's so heavily apart of it.

This novel is great and deserves 5 star being orginal novel it really has complex and fresh power system. Salute to author for such creativity. i am really pissed off looking at the rankings number one my vampire system. For such poor excuse of a novel to sit at top of the rankings for months really is ****ed up. This novel is soo good one of the best orginal novel i have read but it doesnt even get close to My vampire system in rankings its really sad. The author of that novel is using bots to increase his rating and powerstones. Furthermore he is deleting lower rated reviews. Its direct slap in the face to all the orginal authors who is working hard to improve their story. I know its hard to create a story but what he is doing is scamming the whole webnovel community.

You known what would be good. If this novel got adapted into a Webtoon or a manga of sorts like how omniscient reader's viewpoint got one. (Ofc when the novel is finished)

The book world building and character design is amazing, even a character as simple as a cat has a huge amount of character development that you rarely see in anything now a days and I love it!

Great original real Sci-Fi novel here. Logical and based on physic arguments are used to make you believe that incredible plots are possible. Without making the explanations about physics something boring. Real characters with their own motivation, personalities, and ways to develop. The protagonist's friends are real companions. They are not left aside to remain as admirers of the protagonist but have their own development and growth. Bloody and exciting fights scenes well described even during fights with big groups. The update of the novel is extremely consistent and in the few days that the author does not upload a chapter the next day he gives you 2 chapters. Love is not the main plot in this novel but it looks like the author is slowly preparing the way for a good romance (I have high hopes on this). If you have suffered from procrastination this novel gives you a very good method to help you with this problem.

Started reading this. I’d you’re used to faster paced novels, read up to when he gets the bracelet and then skip to chapter 27 when he’s fighting a rat beast thing. The entire content in between is completely boring. He trains at a gym a little bit and improves his diet. He also learns the world is shrinking for some reason. That genuinely all you need to know. The author might disagree that the content is important world building or something but Jesus Christ totally boring as sin. Literally fell asleep reading at chapter 17 and barely remembered to attempt to pick it up again to see if it would get better. I’m at chapter 28 now and crossing my fingers that this gets to be more entertaining and action packed for a supposed apocalyptic novel with sci-fi and other world tech like it should have. I’ll make a comment to let you know if I drop it or not.
