I'm already 15 chapters into the novel and I'm totally loving it. The protagonist, the setting, everything about this novel is absolutely fantastic. The author put so much work into crafting this amazing novel and not to talk about the side characters, amazing and I love it. Keep it up. I will still continue to read more.

I came here because I saw that Black Regalia's first arc is over.
So far ENIGMA is okay. I read the first Volume by the way. The story is fresh! (Though I still prefer Black Regalia because it's a mafia story and a little darker?)
The story is intriguing because the MC is just a kid, but what I really like was the comedy, I rarely read because I'm always SO BUSY, so, I'll probably give an advance review after the story itself is over.

I haven't read the entirety of it, only up to 18, but overall I like the story. The build up is good, the style of writing is to my liking, it isn't boring to read because it's not a wall of text that floods you with information lol.
Story wise, it has alot of potential, I think the writer knows where it is going. Though like I said, haven't read the entirety of it.
There are a lot of charaters, well, if we include the whole adventurers guild and those side characters that don't have a name sure, but mc and secondary characters are just a few. What I like about this is that it mainly focuses on the MC, but also gives the POV of the secondary characters during some scenes. Another thing is that the description of characters, it's easy to imagine them. I also like the MC's personality, he's kinda cool in a way.
What I like about this is that the MC learns, changes, and improves emotionally (Maybe physically too? Haven't really read much yet.)
For anyone looking for an adventure story that has a sense humor and action scenes, I suggest giving this a try. It's very fun to read and the humor just gets you sometimes.

This is a fun and light-hearted story. There is plenty of action as well as a sense of belonging as you read this story. I highly recommend you check it out. I've added it to my list of stories that I read every day. I look forward to seeing how the story progresses over time. I also feel that if this story ever made it to Kindle Unlimited would be very successful.

This author writes a damn interesting story. I believe this will be a novel to keep an eye out for. I will be tuning in to see how the mc will progress as the story moves on. It is still new so lets wait and find out
Style Score: The story is pretty straightforward and stylistically very easy to follow. There are no crazy page-long stat pages, which I can appreciate. This is just plain good writing. Some might think the pacing is too fast but I appreciate when the story moves past boring bits.
Story Score: I like that the story is a quick page turner I don't have the attention sometimes for the slow burn. The story itself develops pretty naturally. The sci fi aspects does add to the layered feeling of the story.
Grammar Score: The grammar is on point, and this person edits. There are some very minor things. Honestly, as long as it's not like web novels, I'm okay with it.
Character Score: I like the main characters. Not too arrogant, but not a bumbling idiot. The progression from what I have seen in the chapters I have read also shows some character growth.

Somehow I started reading this without recognizing beforehand that it was comedy. It is basically slapstick comedy and lechery(?) and the haremesque. I think I read through chapter 15ish. The story so far is about an OP young boy and his comedic interactions. I have to say the writing style at comedic style aren't my cup of tea, but if you're looking for something goofy and light-hearted it may suit you.

I realize this is a writeathon entry, and therefore closer to a first draft than a fully edited novel. It is very difficult to sit down and just uncritically draft 55,000 words in 5 weeks. And any writer is very brave to put those words up for everyone to read, and potentially criticize.
The reason I’m giving this three stars is that the setting and premise are a good start on an interesting story. The pieces of a good story are here, and I like the characters and setting.
The reason this review is not doing better than three stars is that the pacing/plot is not so good. The first five chapters have enough plot elements for an entire novel, but delivered in 1/4 the time. Conflict and characters need time to be established, develop, and resolve. Immediately achieving a story goal without struggle keeps me from being invested in the story.
To be fair, this may be because the first five chapters may be intended as introduction. But, the pace made it difficult to enjoy this, even though I should have; I love magic investigators. I’d like to see a thoughtful rewrite once the writeathon is done.
