Description

In the land of magic and demons, knights and forgotten ancient technologies. What would you do if you were to wake up one day amidst all of this without your memories? Will you do everything you can to get them back to be who you were, or leave the past behind and begin anew? Follow along with our main character as he struggles to establish his new identity while the shadows of his past threaten to consume him. To be a detested hero or celebrated villain? Only time will tell.

Author’s Note:

Heavily influenced by fantasy goodness far and wide, I hope to make it somewhat original with a sense of familiarity to you. The overall story is pieced together through the perspective of the characters presented, first + third person narrative styles because I enjoy reading novels with similar storytelling. Please feel free to provide any comments and constructive criticisms for me because I love to read what you think so I can continue to improve on my imperfections and make the story better. Cheers!

I've only been able to read the 7 chapters that have been posted so far but it seems that this story is off to a pretty good start. It starts out cryptically with the main character waking, up with no memory, into a world that he may or may not be familiar with.
Style: As far as style goes, the prose seems fine and it isn't very hard to follow. The author's voice is consistent and sarcastic, which can be humorous at times. It's strength so far is its consistency.
Grammar: I get the sense that English might not be the author's first language, so I'm not worrying about that as much. The gramatical errors I've found so far are small and mostly concerning pluralization of singular words, so the idea is still conveyed just fine.
Story: The story is inherently interesting because you're dropped in a world with few answers and the pace picks up rather quickly. The flashbacks are what interests me the most so far because they provide a little more insight into who Shin is and what seems to have happened to him in the past.
Character: The main character has extreme ractions to things that are happening, which put me off a little at first because it makes him seem like a dick, but remembering he woke up in the middle of a forest and doesn't even know who he is or what's going on, it can't really be held against him.
Overall, this is an interesting start to a new story, and I look forward to its continuation.
