Description

(A Reboot is in the Works!)Wu Li was but a student trapped in a future he did not want when the Portal sought him out to become the Savior of an entire world. However, unlike any beings born in that world, Wu has not a single ounce of power within his body. Worse yet, he's the fourth one that's been summoned in history and he's got massive shoes to fill.

How will he overcome his own powerlessness and become the savior that everyone expects him to be?

With a beautiful girl acting as his slightly disappointed yet adorable guardian, a smoking hot rivalling bounty hunter from the High societies out to take his head, and countless other encounters along the way, Wu fights on to become the greatest of the four saviors, while seeding this world with...the principles of science.

This is a story set in a world with a rich history of the magic power known as theWave, and all native species are capable of interacting with theWaveto obtain power in a variety of ways. Think of this as a combination of Dr Stone and Black Clover!

I am writing this story using similar structures to anime seasons, and the chapters in itself are structured more like manga chapters. The first two seasons are already planned out, and it is likely going to be daily upload of chapters from ~ 2 k words in length during the 'season' when there is backlog of chapters, with a week or two of a break in between seasons if no backlog.

If you liked this story, please drop a rating and review. If you hated it, please drop a review and help me get better. Don't just spam a 0.5 rating and leave like a coward lol.

This is what you should expect:

- Character growth and development

- Sensible characters, especially our MC

- Thought out and nuanced power system

- Rich world with history and mythologies

- Progressions of the main cast

- A pretty solid plot that should get better with time!

- A dash of romance and .5 chapters (iykyk)

HAISTSTWWNP (what a long acronym) is a great Isekai with little plot armor, a lot of ingenuity and realistic(ish) characters. The MC behaves and reacts in ways that are closer to what a "normal" person would. There is an implicit understanding that he is level headed, but also human and emotional at times.
While I think that this piece of work could use some more traditional ways of exploring human nature, reactions, and overall have a more impactful educational roll; it is still a great read. It could use some editing for grammar. I've found a quite a few either misspelled words or incorrect words, but it is still very readable.
I appreciate the "magic" systems and the in-depth geographical, physical, and societal aspects.

Really enjoy this whole take on an isekai where the lead is powerless. For the story alone I'd give it a five-star review but there is a spattering of misspelling and wrong word ussage. Definetly needs some polishing with minor editing and spelling errors but still a really enjoyable read. Overall a great story, and if the editting is ever fixed would definetly bump up the quality. Thanks for the Tale!

Isekai by a writer who likes them, for fans of the genera.
The story is unapologetic in its status as an Isekai. It sticks to a number of conventions with some clear influences. Our guy, (Wu) is your average guy, pulled into a world to be its savior, if only he can figure out how. Its complicated with the twist that the title indicates. If that’s what you came for, that’s what you’re going to get. With the occasional wink and nod here in the text its clearly written by a fan, for other fans.
Style: The authors style, is actually pretty interesting. He uses line breaks, as a kind of textual marker, almost like one would a verbal pause, or a purposeful alternate in tone. It’s genuinely interesting, and I can’t say I’ve seen its like elsewhere. There’s some potential for confusion here, especially in dialogue blocks, but it seems like there’s bits here and there to keep it straight. He alternates, between a more high minded narrative style, with dialog breaking into a more modern sound. It grew on me over time, and has humorous twists that flow from the block breaks. Pacing wise, this story has places to be, so isn’t bogged down with undue description or exposition and errs on movement in the story instead. There’s also some head hopping, but due to the line breaks its not difficult to infer when it happens, and from context whose head we’re peeking into.
Story: World building is definitely where this story feels like it got its start. I mean, the author has a world anvil link, and clearly the magic system (The Wave) has some work put into it. If its hard, its yet to be outlined in high detail, but I think the author has its limitations in mind. The plot is pretty straight forward at least in the broad strokes. It’s broken down into small, tight arcs, that are really more like vignettes which gives it an episodic feel.
Characters: The characters remain distinct, and manage to be rather expressive despite some having little screen time in some cases. There’s some clearl
