Never_the_LessLv21yrNever_the_Less

Really touched my heart on how a believable and immersive novel should be like, it really has the potential to be up there with top novels like the mech touch and oracle paths and all. I personally feel that the storyline is a new concept of having a system in a magical fantasy and integrating it with alternate world theme with the nightmare realm. The lore is just so good and if the author plays his cards well, it has the potential to become so good like how the lore is so good in the world of warcraft. The world building hints at a lot of exploration and nothing more satisfying than seeing all of the obscure things that are mentioned getting a light shone upon them, we are all inherently curious and the MC also has much curiosity to delve into the mysteries of the Nightmare realm so, we readers can expect a lot of new exploration arcs. The fights are well written and there is a balance to it that keeps the fights not too long and not too short and the author is a master of foreshadowing and cliffhangers, I really got to give it to the author on that. The next important aspect is how the characters are build upon and to be honest its really good how the author can really tease out how everyone can often bend and be reshaped on the circumstances they find themselves. A bunch of 1000 teenagers trapped on some good forsaken place where not even daylight shines brighter, they are bound to mature up, it also shows how sunny is slowly changing his world view on things and slowly learning from all the adversities he overcome. Every gauntlet he is thrown out into only makes him stronger but at a believable pace and that is one of my plus points, its definitely not like some shounen manga where the mc's friends holler out some words of encouragement and he beats everyone or gaining new abilities when near death, well In this novel all of those cliche routes don't just have root, so those of whom want those type of novel can read something else. This Novel is for a mature audience, with an immersive story telling experience, it has its slightly boring chapters that feel like filler but it gets better when its all linked up. The romance is something I would like to be on the watch out for. When people overcome harrowing ordeals and the like they develop a sense of close bonds that cannot be described in words and the author is master of really slow but awkward romance but hey, the thing only becomes more in line with the story because they are teenagers that are full of hormones but at the same time matured by the time of misfortune they have to go against to stay alive and this has made the romance a bit of a new concept in this novel. Overall one of the best out there, personally I could[img=coins] only count a few novels that are good as this one in an overall manner. Plus Mc is a really good character with lots fun and the humor of the mc is a dark but somehow fitting for the context. Somehow the novel has a delicate balance to it and love how the author whips up Lovecraftian nightmares as the story goes.
