BrettMichaelOrr11mthPostedThe character design here is really good and unique, loving the premise of an someone getting reincarnated as an old dude, but without the wisdom and elderly confidence we expect of that. I don't read a load of Chinese-inspired or Cultivation stories, so that was also a cool addition for me to learn more about those names/etc. I feel like most Eastern-inspired stories just assume the readers already know every Chinese name, but Pen takes the time to explain what those things mean to Japanese-familiar or Western-familiar readers!

Usurper of Totality definitely isn't like anything else I've seen hanging around WebNovel—if you're tired of OP reincarnators or paper-thin "edgy" characters, this will be sweet relief! The author has an amazing handle on comedy, particularly bro/male camaraderie, but also an excellent poetic style when you really need it. Clearly a lot of effort has been put into the world-building, but UoT is really just *enjoyable* to read thanks to the banter and screw-ball humor. Highly recommended!

Can only ever hear 'God' in Morgan Freeman's voice
The mysterious entity chuckled as he heard what its child had called it. "Silly thing. That concept of me you're thinking of… It is a remnant of an old philosopher's ramblings. You know, it was quite interesting how that game of telephone spiraled out of control…" - BrettMichaelOrr11mthCommented
Ooo beautifully poetic!
A turbulently flowing multicolored sky, dotted by an assortment of differently colored stars. Some shone more brilliantly than others. Some were bigger than others. Some formed beautiful constellations of magnificent complexity, and others stood alone. Most stood stationary, but many would move across the sky, too. - BrettMichaelOrr1yrReplied to Veller_Cruz
Heya Veller_Cruz, thanks for asking!! There's definitely no specific NTR elements (nor do I plan to have an NTR element in the series!) One female character does have a history of sexual abuse which does appear in the story, but the perpetrator gets their just desserts. I hope that answers your question and you keep reading the series!

Heh, thanks! I really appreciate that!
The bitter breath of winter carried their voices across the city, into darkened homes and across warmly lit hearths. The city slumbered, blissfully unaware of the impossibility taking shape down in the twisted alleyways of the shipyards. - BrettMichaelOrr1yrReplied to LiLRascal

Damian's hand marked Lynn's cheek, a mirror copy of the slap her brother had sustained just that very morning. Lynn's eyes went wide, and her jaw tightened until a muscle tensed in her cheek. - BrettMichaelOrr1yrReplied to LiLRascal
