Description

Those who can do things scientifically impossible are called supernaturals. Among those who know about them, there maybe those who fear them, those who respect them or even those who want to kill them. That however doesn’t matter to the supernatural named Kais as he has and wants no connection with anything that might be related to the world of supernaturals. However, the day he meets a particular brown-haired youth, that would change and he who has tried to run away from the truth for many years will be forced to confront it.

I had put this on hold for a while and I so regret it now.
After reading chapter 12, wow! Just wow! I can't think of anything else to say that that. This is just amazing!
The story is very, very interesting but also well-fleshed out. The characters all have hidden layers to them. The pacing is slow for a reason and once you try to look at it without premade conceptions, you realise the beauty of speech bubbles too.
Basically, each and every thing that anyone can call a flaw in this book actually serves a purpose and that is why this is straight up brilliant. Keep writing, author! Don't let any haters get to you!

I honestly fell in love with this books by the time I finished the first chapter. By the fifth chapter, I was so engrossed in it I wanted to skip all work and just keep reading and by the 12th chapter, it became one of my favorite novels of all time.
Story - 10/10
Characters - 12/10
Style - 9/10
Grammar - 10/10 (There are a few minor flaws but those don't matter)
Overall - 10/10
Honestly, if you want to read dark fantasy with interesting characters that aren't just edgefests but actually have a story to them, read this. And have an open mind because the author uses a unique style and it might take a bit of effort getting used to it.

As of writing this review, I have not caught up with the series. I am already writing it though after seeing how underrated it is. I just want to yell at those idiots with nothing to read but isekai bullshit to read this and experience real quality for once in their life.
This is how you write supernatural.
This is how you write mystery.
This is how you write characters.
This is how you write a story.
Oh god! There is just so much to say I want to spoil literally everything in this review just to explain how amazing this series is. I just love it!

I am really liking the story so far. Characters are interesting too but I might need to read more to really start liking them really.
What the story is about? It's still not clear from as far as I have read but it is going somewhere and I am interested to see where.
I like Kais' personality so his monologuing and his narration is quite fun for me. Whenever the story switches to third person perspective because it starts following someone other than Kais, I feel a different sense of enjoyment from it. It's like seeing the different interpretations of the same idea. The main idea is isolated through the use of first-person perspective giving it a more personal touch while others are built around it through the use of third-person perspective.
The style is interesting. I like it. Some might not. I don't care much about something like this and it doesn't detract from my reading experience so well, I am fine with the style.
I just don't see why this book gets so much toxicity thrown at it. Like, come on guys! The author is already depressed enough to want to leave RR! Isn't that enough? Why doesn't the hate stop? I am pretty sure he has never given toxicity to any of you, why are so intent on hating him?

The story proper is, as the title says, about psychics using their powers to navigate a world full of monsters. It's more or less modern supernatural, with a handful of quirks. Nothing about this author's take really stands out from the pack one way or the other.
The grammar's good, no notable flaws. Nothing worth mentioning one way or another- functional, but not beautiful- which is a fine thing when it comes to the basics.
The characters are solid. Sure, the MC is a bit of an arrogant prick at times (like far too many poorly-written 'heroes' with superpowers), but he doesn't just get away with it and loses (or at least doesn't win) fights because he thought he outclassed a foe and left his guard down. The story doesn't bend over backwards to make his life easier.
More: he learns from his mistakes. And as easy as that sounds to write, it's a bar a lot of writers with years of experience never clear.
As to the secondary characters- thus far, there's only two of note. One of whom is a terrible person who I am convinced will be the BBEG of the story (not that we're anywhere near the end, yet) and the other is... well, shrouded in mystery. Tidbits trickle in over time, and it's rather well-done.
The story is also interesting, with a fun bit of 'down the rabbit hole' mysteries intermixed with characters who have their own motives. I can't call it a particularly clever or original setting and plot, but it's still an excellent setup for a complex and interesting plot.
However, it has pacing problems. Many, many, pacing problems... with lots of pauses for dialogue that goes nowhere and, well, that brings us to the biggest problem of the story.
The writing style is what cripples the story. It's bad, terrible even. Sentences are truncated in the strangest of ways, and sometimes the author doesn't even bother to turn script into sentences. Many of the dialogue exchanges are formatted as follows:
Charname: "Dialogue."
OtherName: "Dialogue."
Put in actual names, of course. Then
