    Hi yes, I was referring to what you were saying regarding the cosmic saga not having as clear an end goal as the abyssal saga.. I thought it was masterful that Varians' goal could be summed up as peerless, savior, emperor. I'm sure that stuck with other readers and it became obvious what his goal was in addition to liberating the humans and saving Sia.. For the cosmic saga I just had to infer that his ultimate goal was to live a peaceful life by being the strongest, that way he can protect the women (and ppl) he loves... But yea that's all... take care 👍🏿

    Hey thanks for taking the reader's view into consideration. I know writing a novel isn't as easy as some may think, and it takes a lot to not be really offended. I did forget to mention that the lack of clarity on the second half was also an issue, but it seems like you see it yourself. I really hope you go far as writer. For what it's worth, I still think you did really well for your first novel. Best of luck to you though 🙏🏿

    Hi yes, and honestly thank you for not taking offense to my review. You honestly wrote a great and creative story, but as OMRAJPUT stated, I had a hard time keeping interest after the Pala Kingdom arc. here's what I think... The series so far is 1600 chapters (give or take) and the first 1100 (roughly) of those were pertaining to the abyss war.. meaning it feels like there was more time put into the quality of characters and stories, whereas the story started to gradually feel like a speed run.. I don't fault you as writing 1600+ chapters sounds like a committed task. But with that in mind, characters whether from the abyssal side or human side had so many qualities to identify with. For example the abyssal with the disabled sister and Var's infiltration where we see things from their perspective. It felt like many characters introduced had some quality to them. Now if we compare that to later chapters, Evander is irrelevant and basically a meme, Aurora who had a lot of potential is also a meme now for being bullied.. Sarah in my opinion has become cringe. She went from a balanced person to someone who'd kill or strongly think of it if slightly provoked, and other Characters like Sameel who have potential for some reason I don't care for.. I think it might be the speed run feel of things but if the characters become less interesting, the story and feel won't be at it's peak. I think that's what I'm trying to convey.. For example varians discovery of the lady Xanders (I forgot her name) diary was powerful. We saw how long Sia was experimented on and the torture she underwent and the trust issues and trauma that came with it... the current pacing doesn't allow me to care much anymore.. I hope I explained myself well, sorry it's long winded and for what it's worth, I'd still easily recommend this, I'd just explain I lost interest around 1600 chapters in.

    This book started out phenomenally but it nose dived in my opinion. The Abyssal Saga was easily the best.. The Story telling, the character interactions, you felt more connected to the characters. I feel like the quality of writing went downhill after Variant reached Rank 7 (Celestial)... I don't feel anything for any of the characters now. Sia had a great story (initially) so did Sarah, Enigma, Evander, Charles Xander, and many more (Bali, Irene, Julius, etc). Shid even Hedon (Abyssal Emperor) had quality to him. You don't feel that connection anymore and the plot feels stale now... I really hate that I'm bashing this book because the writing was Amazing for the first 1100 chapters, and actually great up until 1400 and some change. I finally decided to drop at almost 1600 chaps, but the author still deserves his flowers for the 1st 1300 or so chapters
