Review after 868 chapters This is book is fantastic as a lover of history and fantasy this is a unique twist on the story of Merlin. I plan to use in this review the overall pacing, upload/community, grammer and punctuation. #1 Pacing: Personally believe that this book has some fantastic pacing, as a weak to strong genre it showcases a real struggle for Merlin, he has his ups ans his downs and we can feel his struggle throughout the book as he continues life gets that little easier and that little harder. Everything has a purpose and there are long payoffs for those who pay attention. If you like mythology and history, you'll pick up tid bits which you'll really enjoy, many moments left me in a case of picking my jaw from the floor. #2 Upload Schedule and Community Avans has a great upload schedule he releases very frequently with usually two a day which is great. He keeps to his promises in regards to bonus chapters for golden ticket ranking and overall ranking pushes. The community is one of the best I've ever encountered, everyone is kind and friendly and the author does monthly quiz's and voucher giveaways in which he personally runs and he's very active in the chat, watching us theorise while he watching with bated breath. #3 Grammar and Punctuation: Throughout the book there is very little in regards to problems, Avans is very on the ball, fixes where possible and everything is just as perfect as you can hope. So to summerize some Pros and Cons Pros World Building is, in a word, magical The magic system is very interesting and easy to understand. The use of Bloodlines is also very unique and special in regards to its use and importance. The pacing is just about right not to fast and not too slow Will leave you wanting more and you will grow with Emery on his journey Cons some of the characters can feel 2 dimensional to begin with but they become fleshed out as the story progresses Many find problems with the romance at the end of the day its not the main focus but its a tool towards Emerys emotional growth and its still important, plus we have fun debates. The cliffhangers are killer, they're great but I hate them. You won't regret reading this book I personally binged the first 110 chapters in one night. I'm sure you will too.

As I'm keeping this spoiler free unfortunately I can not explain but I suggest you continue to read. Remember though, the book hasn't finished and still anything could potentially happen as it could in any real living life.
Dark_blade_304:i do not know mythology
hmm but i was thinking to leave as for why? ok I personally think that when you're adding romance in a novel it's a little sensitive...just a single mistake could potentially ruin the read(of course for only some readers cuz most readers don't care though like you said at the top).. even though emery rejected klea you and I both know that 95%chance that he's gonna end up together with klea...having fun while Gwen will live her sad life...so I could not keep up reading with that thought well whatever it's upto the author whatever he writes...as readers we just have to see we like the novel or not.. basically it's a great novel but I told you the reason why I'm stopping here(at 605 ch)...I'll keep tabs and see whether again whether gets up to my taste or not **NO HATE FOR THE NOVEL JUST MY OPINION**
As a fantasy book it's still very enjoyable there will still be characters that you'll recognise which I'm sure you'll enjoy but removing the history part it's still very enjoyable especially watching the main character grow.
ifuknow_u_know:I don't really know much history. for someone like me who doesn't have a single idea of history, do u still think I can enjoy reading it?

So Emery does grow, I'd say if you're looking towards the logic and his thought processes he is dumb to start but then again dumb in medieval England truly was incredibly stupid. But yes he gets smarter.
Bbbbobii:I have one question only is mc going to grow? Im on chapter 43 he is too dumb, nobody is this dumb and naive not even a baby. Litteraly everything else is great but mc is too dumb

if it's not for you, fair enough however your comment seems unnecessary. My review is as true to me and my opinion as it can, don't undermine my review because you disagree.
Divine_rod:I've read till 300 chapters but still no development this trash webnovel has no reliable reviews
honestly 122 was a big turning point for me, he has a very fun training arc before the games. but as with any weak to strong novel it's a gradual build seeing him rise to strength. But yeah 122 was a point when I was hooked.
Daoistw0wT3n:Thanks for the review, I'll have to give it a read. Although I have a really short attention span, so what chapter do you suggest I hold out to if I lose interest near the start?
Thanks heaps, I want to give this novel a proper go as it sounds really good, I'm on chapter 42 now and am definitely gonna continue
