    THIS NOVEL IS STRAIGHT UP PLAGIARISM. I was trying to ignore it this whole time, but it's just impossible at this point (chapter 41). This novel is a relatively new work and is supposed to be original, but it's an exact parallel to the Korean written and translated work "The Novel's Extra". It's the exact same book, just with a different title and character names. The flow of this book is a carbon copy of that book, sequence by sequence. I know plagiarism is common in the publishing industry, but for it to be so blatant is just disgusting. Taking some ideas or tropes to get a novel started is fine, as tropes and ideas are simply similar and just the skeleton. But if the basis of your novel is just straight up theft that you're proud of, you have a serious problem. Not only do you take the skeleton, but you also grab the muscles, fat, and blood...not leaving a single drop behind for the original author. I'll still read, because I want to see just how much of the book was carbon copied, or if the author actually makes an effort to bring something original. Honestly, when lesser known novels are simply stolen and rebranded on a bigger platform, I wonder just how helpless the original author and translator must feel if and when they come across their blood, sweat, and tears under someone else's name...

    the novel does indeed have a lot of minor plot holes. this however, is not one of them. Mia, as of now is a minor character that the Green's just came in contact with. So it's only natural that they forgot about her when she was out of sight. it would have been stranger if they had insist to take along the sleeping girl to a battlefield in the first place. Besides, leaving her there can possibly branch into other plot devices.

    ok... why is this useless Sebastian person still allowed to be alive? if he doesn't have a brain, what's the point of keeping him around?

    Stop dragging out the novel, and give the MC actual development.

    Surpass Lord of the Mysteries and Reverend Insanity? With 400 chapter dungeons? 😂😂😂 Stop talking out your ass. The novel is ok to read. But face it, it's long and drawn out for no reason. It's middling at best. I bet at this point, even you yourself has already dropped it 👀... well I'm just guessing.

    We know it's a masterpiece. The problem is that it's an exhausting masterpiece. The novel is long and drawn out for no reason. The first arc/intro dungeon lasted exactly 30 chapters. Yet, the second arc/dungeon is already over 10 times long. Why? Is the author aiming for 400 chapters per dungeon now? Besides, I like the idea of the MC having a super huge flaw that he must protect, at all costs. But the idea of the MC being a slave to another is a no-no. From how the author makes the MC simp and subservient to Nephys so far, it seams to be lining her up as his future master. At least that's what it looks like to me, and others. This novel is indeed a good read. It just has too many no-nos to me.

    This is a top-notch novel, no questions asked. The writing quality, writing style, world background, and update stability are all excellent. But, if I had one complaint, it would be; exhausting. That's right, exhausting. This novel's story development is like a carbon copy of Er Gen. Non-stop, never-ending action... that goes nowhere. It's like Usain Bolt breaking the world record on a treadmill. For what purpose? Where is he running to? Ever since reading ISSTH and trying to read Xian Ni, I refuse to even look at another Er Gen book. It's just too fucking exhausting! One fight drawls on for 10-15 chapters, and one arc extending for 400 chapters... look at this book... it's only the second arc, and it's almost running 400 chapters. Need I remind that the first arc/intro only lasted exactly 30 chapters? What does this mean? A dungeon type novel where the first real dungeon is already longer than some other popular books? Question. How many dungeons will there be? This question might seam useless, but think about it. He and the top 10 percent of people on the Forgotten Shore already supercede the power levels on earth in his first real dungeon, then what about the second? Will there be a need for a third? If memory serves me right, doesn't the current known nightmares go up to the fourth? And aren't there more after that? Well I went off on a tangent after I started writing. Bottomline is, although the writing quality is epic, the development so far is rather poor. Don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed the fights and the journey. But at the end of the day, it just feels exhausting; it comes right back to breaking the 100m world record on a treadmill - pointless and going nowhere.

    A very good premise at the start. The world building and update stability are quite good, but I have to admit that I find the character design and story development severely lacking. The MC is naive to the point of stupidity up to chapter 100. He gets conned and betrayed to easily imo, not to mention the constant repeat mistakes. He talks to himself 80% of the time, and half of that is to remind himself not to repeat past mistakes. Yet, a few chapters later, he will be berating himself again that he is stupid and repeating his errors. The MC can be borderline stupid, but blatantly saying and repeating how stupid the MC is every 10 or so chapters, does not bode well for the book. At least make him seem smart is what I'm trying to say. The story development was fine, even when he was masquerading as a woman for 70% of it (sweat) 😰. But, that bomb drop at chapter 99 was too huge! I will be honest, I couldn't really tell who the target audience was for half the book. But it was interesting enough to stop me from investigating. The reason for this is quite simple, 99% of male audience can read novels about male MCs turning into animals, insects, ghosts etc. But to have them transgender is a huge taboo. I understand that it's 2022 and the lines are somewhat blurred nowadays. But, if you are writing a novel targeted at MALE audience, you SHOULD NOT transgender the MALE MC and LITERALLY put that he lost himself. It's too much, my brother. I literally had to back pedal at chapter 99 and check if this novel had an LGBTQ tag that I somehow missed. I even had to question myself and ask if I was being misguided for reading those 99 chapters. That's just how big an impact your chapter 99 had on me. I don't think that the sequence of events leading up to it were intentional, but the end result was questionable to say the least. At least, that's my two cents on those two issues. Otherwise, the book is readable and I would recommend it to female readers, or those who don't mind the blurred lines. Overall, I give this book 3.8 out of 5 but that's mainly for the writing quality, world building, and the somewhat unconventional plot. The MC setting and plot progression seems quite sketchy imo though. P.S. Please allow the MC to do ghostly things. You promised ghosts, so you should give ghosts.

    Well, the term should be "all of a sudden". "All of sudden" needs a definer as well.

    Another definer missing. "As soon as see them". I don't know who is seeing them; the girl with purple eyes, the audience, or other characters in the story?

    A definer is missing "the chance to a glimpse at the power". You can try using: see, catch, or changing "to a glimpse" to "at a glimpse". It can work as is. But while listening to it, something seems missing.

    Hello, I'm your author, here to do a chapter 20 review. I started this novel with little to no expectations or experience. However, so far it has gone great. Way better than I imagined. For one, the MC has been steadily developing recently, getting away from his bad habit of enjoying his new life. But let me not spoil it for you 😅. The world background is also slowly fleshing out. And I say slowly because I don't like the idea of that info dump thing. I like to take it slow, steady, and natural. So far, the world can be seen in bits and pieces. This is not a spoiler, so putting it here won't affect the flow of the novel. The nearest few continents should be visible within the next 20 or so chapters. So, look forward to it 🙌. As for the writing style, I'll let you be the judge. And of course the writing quality. The quality is also not bad. At least from my perspective and various others who seem to enjoy my work. But I'm not a machine. So some things might slip by from time to time. And this is where we come together as a community. You point it out in the comments, and I fix it. So, I would like to say that you should like and subscribe, but we all know that's not possible. But, you can add it to your library and review or comment on it. Thanks in advance. Hope to see you again. And have a nice day. 🙏🙏🙏

    All I have to say is wow. Quite detailed, and... also explicit 👀. The writing quality is very good, and the story developed a bit faster than I could expect. So that's a good thing. Still quite early, so I can't say anything about character design and world background. So for that I give you a healthy 4, since your standards seem quite high. 🙌🙌🙌

    Good job on the editing. It's a lot better than before, a lot less obvious mistakes. The story is a bit hard to follow, because it swings around a lot. But I'm not a good person to judge romance, so that might be the reason. The character design seems quite good. But I would like to see what the characters look like, especially the MC. You are uploading more chapters recently, so that's good. Too early for world background, so I can't give a review on that.
