Review Detail of Konner_Morris in Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

This book makes it hard to like it at times. Similar to Elyons last book, this one also relies on reference humor, slapstick, and otherwise immature jokes. All of Cai's character can demonstrate how broken this story is. It, as the boar, is terrible. It does not care about its friends, it does not care for its family, it is simply greedy, shameless, and if, at some possible time, would definitely make light of every possible situation. But wait. Elyon says, 'I have the redeeming quality!' She wears a boar skin cause she likes to be...naked? and also wants to be like her father? but also she's actually really shy and so Cai isn't really a person but just concepts. She's a Recreation of multiple characters that Elyon has made before but smashed together to form an algamation. This type of character is a great example of this book in its entirety. Lux is simply Elyon's other MC but going thru his edgy phase. His powers work like the flash most of the time. Sometimes he's a 'brilliant" tactician, others he's falling into the most simplest of traps that even a baby could foretell. Another complaint would be how, similar to Elyon's other work, this MC is literally the dumpster of the Plot. All bad things must happen to him. He must also always be 'good' in comparison to his counterparts. In fact, Elyon believes that he didn't sell it well enough, so he has Lux be forced to build his guild on a compost hole. I'm mostly disappointed. Elyon could write a good book. He just has a habit of selfdestructing his story just to make some reference joke or other similar immature humor for the hell of it. It breaks the story and it never lands. The problem for reference humor is it just makes me want to switch over to THAT story being referenced instead. You ruin your story by placing an expiration date in your own book so it never becomes timeless. This is shown more clearly when you start making references to old memes like 'Dae wae'. I honestly don't understand the necessity for Elyon to have to hitch and steal other stories/lore to fit his own book. I get it its a crutch. But the previous leniency of being a 'new author' has worn off. You finished your first book. This book should show how much you've grown/evolved as an author. I don't hate what you're trying to do with characters that aren't cardboard, Cai and everyone else at the Stronghold/Campus are just in general lame. The MCs rival is an indisputable idiot. He's jealous of an orphan. I really can't say it any other way, he's stupid. His goals are one step away from being comic relief, and every single time he'd complain I'd laugh cause his character and arc are just that bad. He literally got so salty of Lux that he ditched the Stronghold cause the mere existence of any reference ti Lux drove him insane. Most of the other antagonists are comically supervilliany. Rapists, murders, arrogant despots, we got em all. Most are just that way cause they can be. Some of them have questionable family issues. All of them are annoying. His father is one of them. This may be a more personal gripe, but Alexander is a terrible father, and shit leader, and a worse person. He's self destructive(just like Cai), he doesn't know how to interact with other people his age or near it (just like Cai), he barely knows what a father is suppose to be other than a shield. I think I've noticed a pattern. The author doesn't understand people. He thinks they act some way for some reason, but he takes templates from other stories(more references), and slams them into his story and hopes that the jigsaw puzzle fits together with brute force. This is what really damns Elyons story. Characters are what make the story. They are what bring us back, they are the truly the first great place an author can show his imagination. Elyon can't do that/won't. The book is a book. It's readable. Don't expect anything more than you should. Don't think about the characters too much. Don't think about the plot too much. Ignore plot holes. I'd recommend read the story until you sigh three times in exasperation. Then drop it and go read something else.
