- Common ReaderRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0This is my first time reviewing a story on this website despite being around here a for a few years already, so a want to make this something brief.
The novel is insane, the world aparently exists surrounded by the abyss, a place full of aberrations, weird flora, crazy animals and diferent laws of physics and a great pint of the unknow, and Felix the protagonists just wants to be an adventurer to explore all that weirdness. You can expect a diferent power system that reminds me a lot of Lord of the Mysteries and prepare your imagination to understand everything you read, because your will have to use it well.100% recomend! - Nomad1791Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0Title says it all it's bizarre. World is very unique, powers everywhere, unique magic system, mc kinda meh but he's a kid so potential to grow. Can't ping the writing because it's also unique with individuals using accents constantly. Overall wasn't a bad night of reading I'll follow and see how the story grows.
- TooLucidRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Wow! So very intriguing! I have seen the anime Made in Abyss (which seems to inspire a few ideas), but this is a truly original and unique story about a growing young man attempting to realize his dreams amidst intensely abrupt challenges that make him realize his dreams might not be what he really wants. All the while, the mysterious beginning brings along very interesting tidbits of almost-information leading me to be intensely curious about S and his plans/motives/character and potential corruption at the top of the world's insanely powerful pyramid of delvers.
The world building has extreme depth and also feels very real. The powers of relics seem to be unfathomably varied and flexible, as if there are innumerable combinations yet to be discovered! The whole of the magic system is very well done and I enjoy the learning by familiarity instead of full and dry explanations. We do get explanation, most of it in dialogue form (as it should be). The MC and his relationships feel real and now I care too. The pace is like a nice jog but we have time enough to smell the flowers and appreciate nature's beauty, which is anything but natural in the abyss.
Grammar is A+, story flows like a smooth stream, although I read it a bit slower than normal to really let my imagination soak up all the cool descriptions and magic to better paint more vibrant scenes (the descriptions of the abyss are wonderous and detailed without being wordy).
