Description

Currently releasing 5 chapters a week

Luke Kells liked only one thing about himself: his green eyes.

He hated getting bullied, hated being poor, hated being an orphan, hated his weakness, hated the government, hated his life. If someone had given him a button to push and kill everyone but him and his granddad, he would've done it without a second thought.

Then, one day, after fainting during a beating, he woke up with memories that would change his life.

Magic, martial arts, how to craft special artifacts; he knew it all. Anyone would’ve taken that path to glory at once. However, he had to deal with a lot on his plate first.

To even begin walking that path, Luke first had to deal with his own psychological issues. Almost two years of brutal bullying that was akin to torture and no support from the school staff of the police had left him with a broken soul. Before even realizing he could be rich or powerful, he had to bring himself out of the mental hellhole he found himself in.

Oh, and his memories also told him the Sentinel Tower would change reality in six months to protect the planet from the Demonic Horde.

But that wasn’t as important as not making the local bully angry, right?

A story about personal growth, overcoming obstacles, and reaching absolute glory at the end of the path.

This is a slow-paced, character-centered story.

If you want something faster paced, filled with almost immediate and nonstopping action, check out my other novel:Modern Awakening - A cultivation, LitRPG, apocalyptic novel.

    It's always great to catch these gems on RoyalRoad before they explode.
    Without going into spoilers, i'll just say this has all the hallmarks of a great story: Interetsing premise, solid plot and most importantly an MC who's jus OP enough to satisfy that little voice of wish fulfillment we all have, while being relatable enough to make him sympathetic. The best part is the story reads like a dream, prose is so good you can read it all in one sitting. Almodt makes me wishi caught it much later on, so i could binge
    The agai, like i said there's just something about catching these gems early

    I think everyone has read return to the past stories at this point. Some are just self fulfilment while some show promise. This is the later, and the author is able to properly convey this on a level almost equal to Re: trailer trash.
    The story goes on in ways that are able to take the most out of the stile, and although you could feel that it is either going too fast or too slow, but it is more than capable enough to make the most out of either elements, specially as it leaves you wanting for more. The later of which is only possible if you dive fully into it however, so do take this part with a grain of salt as that is my case.
    The author is aparently not a native english speaker, but it's hard to see that at this point, as far as i understand they have been making adjustments and edits, the former which seem to have only refined the story story from palatable into something quite fun to read, though some mistakes are still here and there.
    For the characters however, one needs only look at the author notes to see that even most inconsistencies on them can be indeed explained further in, which is great all around as the authro seems to be listening to readers quite well and refining their work. At this point however, it is easy to say that the characters feel real, they can be a bit cliche at times but also make sense, the supporting cast is well fleshed out and the protagonist is not infinitely stupid or wise, making for an organic read along with his third person view of the whole thing.

    ★★★★★ 4.5
    Overall the story is very enjoyable to read despite the errors. The story is mostly sensible so far and everything flows decently well. There are some issues I have with the main character's lack of progression in some areas, but they are not enough to put me off of the story. This story would be a lot better with an editor to help with the minor mistakes.

    I would have rated this far lower, but i'm here to give feedback and not tank your rating.
    The story has a lot of problems, to the point I dont care to write them all, but i want to point out one specific thing that i felt was the worst.
    The MC is trash, and you went WAY too hard in making him seem pathetic with the bullying.
    You went so hard, not only did it make it not believable he could even become the person you had just established, you permanently tainted the reader's respect for the MC. It comes off as childish wish fulfillment, not some sort of zero to hero. Not only that, but the hero to zero to hero trope is usually only used in the trashiest of Chinese and Japanese novels, which means you're telling the reader that's the quality you're going for.
    Specifically, chapter 6 made me want to drop the novel. It was really, really stupid.

    ★★★★ 3.5
    Pros
    - Interesting premis
    - Decent if slow story
    Cons
    - Cringeworthy ya style character interactions
    To be fair the mc IS a 16 year old and half the relevant introduced characters are teenagers, but it felt like all the tropes (bullying, non-socalized no self esteem mc, immediate love interest infatuation, "we didn't talk it out" misunderstanding, etc.) are all there. Not just there but integral to the plot and overblown "there" in a non ironic form. Not necessarily bad but not my cup of tea, and I couldn't really recommend it unless you are heavily into the drama mindset that let's people enjoy ya novels and soap operas.

    ★★★ 3.0
    World building and overall writing quality is good. Very good. Side characters and heroine seem like people. MC is useless. I just can't see the wuss he was being able to survive 5 mins in the tower. Even in a safe zone he would have just been prey to about any other human there. His nature would have just kept him on the first level giving handys to anyone else there just to survive. His body was so abused from being poor that he would probably died before even the fattys if he did get the courage to try going to the next level.
    I keep reading Even tho the mc is annoying because of the promise the rest of the novel shows.

    ★★★ 2.5
    Grammarly speaking i dont see any flaw vut i am not a native english speaker so .. dont trust me.
    My problem is with the plot.  There is a super mega awesome guy that lived 1000 lives to save humanity and decide to wipe his memory as a winner trophie. Ok, it sounds promising.
    The problem is that his old him was a hard bullied kid. Hardcore bullied. So a girl come to the school and pumm now he is an hero. No transition,  no inner conflicts or sutil mind movements. Now, he is a hero and he has a girlfriend.
    That is all.

    ★★★ 2.5
    So, the premise of the story is really good. We start with our MC being bullied and I can stand that, what I can't stand is how the author portrays everything related to the bullying. Chapter 19 was just horrible, nothing made sense in it and then we have the policemen and well....I don't know anymore because I dropped it,  it was waaaaaaay too forced of a situation , and Sakura's family being influential as they are are pretty worthless compared to some wannabe wuxia young lord.
    The author mentioned showing others POV and I believe it would answer some questions, but even then, a lot of the interactions seems way too unrealistic. Why is Sakura helping him and his grandfather in the first place? Why the he'll did he confess something he didn't do?
    And something that I didn't like is that the story doesn't feel like it's going anywhere, sure, he trains yet in every part of the story he suffers setbacks.
    Overall, grammar is good, style also feels smooth but I couldn't stand the story or the characters.
  • coalmine overlordRoyal Road
    ★★★ 2.5
    This story is trying to be a powerful reincarnation tower story with a twist that the mc completes the tower and has to live a regular life
    He gets to chose what memories he loses and chooses all of them but ones related to the system but can't remember magic for some reason.
    The story also gives off oppressed mc meets female lead and slowly becomes op again vibes. So all in all while a new take on a heavily used troupe it is very patchwork and hard to read.

    ★★ 2.0
    I left a fairly harsh review earlier and the story didn't really warrant it.
    I stand by my statements that the characters are one-dimensional and that the MC is spineless. However, note that the grammar is very good and I haven't read past the school arc. I had to quit there because this story wasn't my cup of tea. I'd encourage you to give it a try if the author's synopsis seems good to you. You might find it enjoyable.
